more. french president who's criticized for a failing to secure a problem from. his country. it is a shame we have missed a good chance in france. that the priority given to the united kingdom. because it has been liberated from the european union while the government and europe are failing at everything. desperate times call for desperate measures. on issues in order bombing residents from getting sick to draw attention to the no doctors. i did as a provocation my ruling can hardly be enforced i mean that getting sick or not it

is not. an individual can certainly take steps to avoid. government some people struggle a limited vaccine supply. some wealthy individuals find ways to jump. welcome to the news are all marty and you know me will bring you the big stories of the week it. fronts is leader self in the firing line after failing to secure supplies of scene from his own country before the u.k. gets it money as government had refused to buck the job developer in contrast to london which worked with the company to obtain the french shots. 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 european union with more from paris here charlotte dubinsky. prince was already feeling a little dejected after attempts by pharmaceutical company sanofi and the past 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 in scotland. 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 had 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 distal 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 seem developer. i think 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 in 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 is the latest blow going down here in france it is a lot less. it said because france is the contrary of foster care and yet we see a lack of finance elect a founding elect know how well the government and here are feeling that everything is. 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 which 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. 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 that 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 deuces shola do you can ski r.t. paris britain's astra zeneca started deliveries of its covert 9000 job but it's not for everybody norway and denmark have become the latest countries to recommend it

for people over 65. we have reviewed the documentation and until we have seen more data on efficacy mon the elderly it is our recommendation that the vaccine for astra zeneca should 1st and foremost the efforts of people under 65 years of age without increased risk of serious illness from covered 19 year they're not alone either earlier france germany italy sweden and spain also advised against vaccinating the elderly with the astra zeneca job but they say there is no also enough evidence to suggest it's affective for older people a researcher we spoke to sais that the company did test the vaccine on the age group but too few people to get concrete data i mean the concern comes from the fact that when the clinical trial was done there weren't very many people in the trial who were aged 30 to 65 there were some but not enough so really to get meaningful and rate prostate so those regulators in those countries feel that more

studies need to be done there's no serious illness there's no evidence that people over that age are more susceptible to serious site side effects only indeed we know that they don't generate a good response all that's missing is the evidence that they are protect. meanwhile the e.u.'s top diplomat to use a perennial speaking during his visit to moscow this week expressed hope they russian sputnik the vaccine would be certified in europe in the near future and now i am hoping that you do a b. and medical agency will be able to certify deficiency of the vaccine you know that could be your social dupion union state it would be good news because as you know we are facing a shortage of vaccine. a recent study published in the reno and once said medical journal fund sputnik view was more than 90 percent effective including in people

aged 60 and over in terms of european sales the czech republic is now considering following hungary and buying the russian vaccine as well that of anthemic gone thought the lowly unfortunately i have to say that we just do not have enough big scene and that's why it's so important that when it comes to the point of origin of fix a nation it should not be political issue since i'm not a political question but one of safety. we heard from another microbiologist who believes sputnik v. has the stink advantages in the way it was developed. to meet and many of the russians were the vaccine is that combines types of sleaze and latest fighting one is that it's absolutely critical at 526 have been selected before in the course of development of vaccine against h r e e s 2 pipes of which there in europe is actually quite low in the human population and it's excellent that you are today and there was using crime and the vaccine

bets it's a great approach that's why from 2nd point of view he really has the quality get might make it right if that may be the way forward but again it is absolutely critical that the sit on the population on which it will be like many factors. search the environment or general speech needs of the population and the overall if you will michael bio and environmental or communication or infection it's going to enhance or suppress the device and so it's always very important the best in the context in which surely eventually i mean. well in a toyota has resorted to desperate measures to combat the fire it's the murder has issued a decree forbidding anybody from getting sick to draw attention to the fact that todd doesn't 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 un the 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 and individual can certainly take steps to avoid falling ill for example by wearing a mask searing clear of gatherings and washing hands or it's really was the epicenter of the coronavirus on break in europe last week a grim milestone was reached 90000 deaths related to covert the country will relax coronavirus restrictions on monday in most regions where people know having greater freedom to travel they can also visit bars restaurants and museums well like the rest of the e.u. it clearly has seen vaccine shortages to the country has now a filed

a petition with the e.u. commission pushing for the jobs to be made locally and on expects to receive its long awaited 1st batch of senecas shots this weekend the mirror of only furry again believes major vaccine manufacturers are acting in their own interest. 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 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 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. but it's not all.

the pandemic has seen people come together in the face of adversity including a german michelin star restaurant which is now free food to the homeless. as for funding 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. for

a living on donald trump hours resign from the u.s. screen actors guild where he's been a member for 3 decades or so after the performers union announced they wanted to expel the former president of the united states from their ranks with more on the move here's dimitri polk. 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 dowdy 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 to catch your organization has done little for its members and nothing for me but signs 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 at his one of the most successful t.v. shows in american history the apprentice the dream job of a life 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 shy still 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 by mid may. and we did have her 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. facing up to the truth tell us tech companies accuse about legal muster of violence and counter churning its facial recognition information with law enforcement agencies we've got that story and more fuel to the.

lead. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race based on often spearing dramatic developments 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 work in the brutal murder of vaccines governments and people like scramble to get their hands on the method supplies and some are going to great lengths to make sure they are at the front of the queue don't quarter reports. 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 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 donna's we're pleased to share 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 if 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 wealth can 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 coded has exposed broken social and health care systems that people who are. the population has been hit the most will 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 aren't prioritized actually it makes for the pandemic to spread even more these are populations that tend to congregate more then 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 in 10 wheels have seen a worrying spine alcohol related deaths according to newly released figures numbers rose dramatically when people went into lockdown at the beginning of the pandemic

last spring the 1st 9 months of last year alone so for 5 years and such that's that's a jump of 16 percent compared to the same period in 2019 and it's the highest alcohol related death toll since records began to spawn the widespread closure of bars and clubs all call charities believe the pandemic spin a significant factor 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 the u.k. is not alone in terms of rising alcohol consumption. with multiple reports released them all some identifying a similar trend in the u.s. earlier we spoke to dr james killed electra britain's warrick medical school the issue. 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 not 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 $352.00 people these deaths are avoidable they're not merely figures that these are unfortunate people that have lost their lives due to fight to an alcohol and yes we have seen the highest level since we started recording these in 2000 and want 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. a us tech company has been accused

of illegally must surveilling people in keller the investigation by they can it be improve the sick commission alleges that new york based firm clearview a broke the law by sharing facial recognition information with law enforcement agencies what clearview 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 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 claims that the personal information disclosed was used for inappropriate purposes and is not exempt from privacy laws social media platforms where the company took the images

say it is also a violation of the rules and have demanded about the stop no in response clearview i say stuff the data collected was publicly available and allowed on canadian previous c. laws 'd but some experts are still questioning their actions as well as the use of facial recognition in general. to share with grandma on the internet expects to be have that photo put into or essentially a permanent police lineup for the use by the state for law enforcement purposes images were scrapes not just 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 really hard conversations about if there is any social benefit of this technology and if it can be used. needless to say privacy problems aren't just limited to calif that one other example a popular video of tech talk has been accused of collecting data on people whether they're registered on the platform or not polly boyko explains how that works. 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 save 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 there's nothing about denies that they exist but when have we ever taken sucker for at the top 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 carrier and finds out and even knows what device is it's screen resolution telephone all theresa and operating system a journalist from vice made this discovery off asking take talk for all of the days

that the caught 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 data base just check your off facebook activity and facebook spec things to do is join a tribe and live in the amazon and. oh maybe not. lots of it for an hour from the shooter here in moscow but do keep a lookout for the r.t. logo on social media this weekend always fresh content our twitter facebook and instagram pages.

the world is driven by a dream shaped by our own person. who dares thinks. we dare to ask. why the progressives of 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 fi out money they believe the central bank they say

they believe ben bernanke the they believe jay powell they believe the words coming out of their mouth and 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. secret prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however even the most prosperous can be deceived we've been busy roads along the way to view houses were allowed to leave prison was located only cia people had access to the story for investigators sure how zillion covered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. you graded nor in. your so no for. trying for justice on oxy.

i imagine are times when 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 our daily lives a new report from the united nations special report or an extreme poverty and human rights adjusts that neoliberalism 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 rapporteur in libya the shooter now joins me from brussels levey thanks so much for coming on i mean the e.u. is in the news for nearly destroying the good friday agreement for a vaccination war your report suggesting that well what's called often the greatest

capitalist project in history is not fit for purpose how did you arrive at that conclusion but essentially my report tries to show that the e.u. is not well equipped to come out of it because it has organized competition between the member states in taxation matters in the area of wages and and it's also got 3 issues. we refer to this as to school dumping and social and also because it imposes on member states and a very tight macro economy straight jackets in order to avoid macroeconomy imbalances across the e.u. this makes it very difficult for states to spend money on social investment at the risk of increasing their public that until today is a unique opportunity to really rethink these issues and perhaps eventually create the e.u. into it to eate of its keep within its borders.
