. while countries struggle to get their hands on limited vaccine supplies for their populations look at how some of the wealthy individuals are jumping the queue and. live from moscow thanks for joining us tonight here on r.t. international i'm daniel hawkins welcome to the program. the french president is under fire for failing to secure a surprise of a vaccine from his own country which is instead destined for the u.k. it might all micros government had refused to back the jobs developed in stark contrast to london which worked directly with the company they believed streets away in our inactivated vaccine they took all the risks and immediately forwarded 96000000 euros to use before the end of december well that's the latest in a series of controversies over vaccine supplies involving the european union with

more from the french capital here's a shot at the ski. prince 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 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
7:03 pm
signed up to this doing it all together which today to see when 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 there 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 looks in the french government says it had negotiated with 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 theory as the government failed to back the facts seem 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
7:04 pm
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 in the latest blow going down here in france 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 founding elect of know how well 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 facts and is manufactured in france its books about which i hope that the goal is to make
7:05 pm
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 darn it 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 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 has started a global deliveries of its covert vaccine but norway and denmark become the latest countries not 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 be
7:06 pm
efforts of people under 65 years of age without increased risk of serious illness from covered 19 earlier france germany italy sweden and spain also advised against vaccinating the elderly with the astra zeneca jab they claim is just not enough evidence to suggest it's effective for all the people i research we spoke to says the company tested too few elderly 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 over $65.00 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 or it's missing is the evidence that they are protected.
7:07 pm
meanwhile speaking during a visit this week it's in moscow the e.u. top diplomat expressed hope russia's sputnik the vaccine could be approved for use in europe soon and now i am hoping that you do a b. and medical agency will be able to certify the efficiency of the vaccine you know that will be your social into being union the state will be good news because as you know we are facing a shortage of vaccine a recent study by the lancet medical journal found sport neck view was more than 90 percent effective including in people age 60 and over in terms of european sales the czech republic is now considering following hungary in buying the russian vaccine as well. that ends my gong thought the lowly unfortunately i have to say that we just do not have enough vaccine us and that's why it's so important that when it comes to the point of origin of fix
7:08 pm
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 he has a kid volunteers in the way it was developed want to meet and many of the russians were the vaccine is that it actually combines types of innovators and related spuyten when he said it's absolutely critical at 526 have been selected before in the course of development of against a chain as to pipes of the rich that in europe is actually quite low in the human population and it's excellent that we are today and there's using crime and the vaccine bets it's a great approach that's why from 2nd point of view this week he really has the quality get might make it quite effective may be the way forward but again it is absolutely critical that the sit on the population on which it will be like
7:09 pm
many factors in the educational butts unsearched environment or general space needs of the population and in the overall if you will michael bio and environment or community action or infections can enhance or suppress the effect of the vaccine so it's always very important to address it in the context in which surely eventually i mean apply and italian town has resorted to desperate measures to combat the virus them as banned anyone from getting sick to highlight the fact that tellme doesn't have a single doctor. you know off 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

7:11 pm
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 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 well of the difficulties the pandemic has also brought out the best in people including a michelin star restaurant in germany which is now giving out free food to the homeless. as orphaned and we started doing it in the 1st lockdown in april last year and we

noticed that there was a great response. they 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. donald trump has resigned from the us a screen actors guild where he's been a member for 3 decades that's after the performers union that out that plan to expel the former president from their ranks with more on the move here is the 3 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 daddy in typical trump fashion before the meeting even took place he decided to take the
7:13 pm
initiative don't talk to me that way wrote a whole letter bashing the guild calling it the worst who can 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 i 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
7:14 pm

will come back the rollout of vaccines as seen can to countries scramble to get their hands on limited supplies and spend some people going to great lengths to make sure they're at the front of the queue don't cause a 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
7:17 pm
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 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
7:18 pm
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. population's 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 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 england wales have seen a warring spike in alcohol related deaths according to new figures the numbers rose dramatically when people went into looks out at the beginning of the pandemic for the 1st 9 months of last year alone so more than $5000.00 such that's a jump of 16 percent compared to the same period in 2019 and it's the highest death toll since records began the spike the widespread closure of bars and clubs alcohol charities believe the pandemics been 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 in order to modifying a similar trend in the us we spoke earlier to dr james taylor lecturer at warrick medical school about the rising issue. but let's be very very clear we have seen
7:20 pm
a rise to cross the border around the holy 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 people these deaths are avoidable they're not nearly figures that these are unfortunately people that have lost their lives due to fight to an alcohol 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
7:21 pm
down the line so we need to act now to give people the support they need to overcome these alcohol as a coping mechanism. the u.s. tech company has been accused of the illegal mass surveillance of people in canada arrest a geisha and why the canadian promise a commission alleges the new york based clearview ai broke the law by sharing facial recognition information with law enforcement agencies what clearview does is meserve ailerons 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 report released on wednesday the company allegedly collected the personal vater of users without their consent the 3000000000 images of katie the clued in pictures of children are said to have been shared with police report claims the personal information disclose was used for inappropriate purposes

max keiser this is the kaiser report we're going to talk about something near and dear to everybody's heart money. writes well i want to actually go back in time because exactly 100 episodes before this one episode k r 1555 so good of you to book that up kaiser report episode 155 the title of the episode was called the cantillon monopoly because this is in the news today what 10 months later 8 months later and the synopsis for episode 155 was in this episode a kaiser report max and stacy discuss the history of the monopoly board that is the us economy whereby the fee out pyramid scheme started in 1971 only
7:29 pm
a few short years after the civil rights act those who held all the assets in 1971 became fabulously wealthy compared to those without assets as the central bank began printing money furiously over the ensuing decades that's a cantillon effect whoever has all the assets whoever's closest to the money printing they get all the wealth right so this comes into effect because the new york fed has finally conceded that kaiser report was right they have issued a new study which finds the new york fed says in a new research paper that easy monetary policy does little to cut racial income inequality ultra easy monetary policy may not help reduce racial economic disparities anywhere near as much as many now believe. and we'll go into some of it but in fact it's not even if it's like it doesn't help it
7:30 pm
at all it causes the opposite right and that's right not only does it not help it but it causes racial inequality and wealth and gap inequality because you're substituting something that was not horrible money that is to say the u.s. dollar pre $971.00 that at least had some danceable tided goal was something that was completely horrible and in the establishment's hands in a ways that would mitigate the effect of the equal rights movement of the sixty's when it looked like there would be more equal rights in america central bankers very quickly said wait a minute we can't let this happen let's let's get off the gold standard and take control the money supply to control the dollar and this way we can keep our monopoly positions and not share anything right so the important date is august of 1971 that is when the fia pyramid scheme that is the current u.s. .
