the world health organization scientists investigating the origins of covert 90 questions the reliability of the u.s. intelligence after washington says it wants to conduct its own probe in china. the commission president admits the bloc was too late in authorizing covert vaccines as you state struggled with supply shortages we heard from a w.h.o. adviser and it's not a matter of race between countries school should get 1st and reach block should get earlier countries and the european union to plan for 4 years for pollution to be covered by a certain period of time. donald trump's defense team accuses the democrats of tearing the country in half the former president's impeachment trial gets underway
12:01 pm
in the senate. wednesday evening in a chair in moscow money welcome to world news from mounting international 1st for the world health organization scientist is questioning the reliability of the u.s. intelligence on the origins of covert $19.00 after taking part in a source tracing mission in china discussed developments with correspondent constantine rushkoff. the figure that is front and center to this story peter does show he is a british american viral a just and he was assisting the w.h.o. mission to hunt to find out the origins of the current pandemic so the scientists really didn't mince his words when he took to twitter to lash out at u.s. intelligence for backing theories that the virus could have been man made in came from a chinese lab let's have a listen well now that joe biden has to look tough on china please don't rely too
12:02 pm
much on u.s. intelligence increasingly disengaged under trump and frankly wrong go in many aspects now why has it made such a fuss well for one its strong language from a u w h o representative who has taken on the u.s. intelligence community questioning their credibility and the thing is that u.s. intelligence has a different version of why and how this pandemic came about and u.s. officials already claim that they're not going to accept the findings of these one mission until they could verify using their own intelligence broadly speaking we have expressed our concerns regarding the need for full transparency and access from china. and the w.h.o. access from china and all information regarding the earliest days of the pen demick and that speaks volumes about the level of trust that the new u.s.
12:03 pm
administration has towards the w.h.o. and that is itself an interesting turn of events because as you remember when joe biden came to power he explicitly claimed that he's going to reverse most a peace process or policies especially the one on pulling out of international organizations like w h o but the america's overall stance in that issue doesn't seem like you changed a lot from what it was during the trumpet. the united states pays them $450000000.00 a year china pays them $38000000000.00 a year and they're a puppet of china. china centric to put it nicer but they're a puppet of jonah well the w.h.o. finally has a team sent there they're doing this investigation how we got any closer to figuring out the origins of the 1000 then really you know if we talk about bigger picture right that the scientific community is trying to find out the origins of this virus the source of this corona virus and that's why they sent this mission to
12:04 pm
to the chinese who a province where the virus was 1st detected in 2019 but the probe didn't give us you know a lot right away i mean the experts came only to one conclusion conclusion which is really important in the light of this ongoing spat between the u.s. and china and that is that the virus did not originate in a chinese lab and that it probably transmitted from animals presumably bats. to humans so again this is not exactly a revelation and we're still far from understanding the roots of the pandemic i guess what this story has shown to us is that the issue itself is highly politicized and clearly scientists are going to feel under immense pressure from both american and chinese scientists and will that you know make things difficult to get to the bottom of that almost certainly in time the coded vaccine rollout in
12:05 pm
europe is being plagued by delays with the european commission president sort of on the line admitting for the 1st time that the block is foreign shorten its response and should have approved vaccines earlier. don't know if this isn't a talent saw her just for the fact is that today we're not where we want to be in converting the virus we were late in granting authorization we were too optimistic about mass production and maybe we also took for granted that the doses audit's would actually arrive on time we must ask ourselves why and what lessons we can draw from it. while acknowledging that the e.u. overestimated its production capacity on the line defended the joint eve axiom strategy is the right way of dealing with the pandemic w.h.o. advisor dr siddartha dr told us that inoculation efforts need to be coordinated across borders. this is not a matter of race between countries who should get 1st and which block should get earlier i think we are all fighting this race against the virus so i think we will
12:06 pm
have to be. realistic in all these vaccines available ity plus vaccine to a lot in the countries but i think these are the countries and european union in general need to plan for for its population to be covered by a certain period of time we have to acknowledge that this scale just sheer scale of 19 vaccine is enormous so the demand for the vaccine is not common to the volume of vaccine that we have so there will have to be some privatization because of this global nature of 19 pandemic did the restaurants cannot be within the national boundaries we all need to understand that everybody need to be safe if we want our cell to be safe and within this principle of global society diety we called upon all countries to ensure that this global public good
12:07 pm
a covert 19 vaccine should be acceptable and accessible to everybody irrespective of the income status or income level this vaccine nationalism will or will hurt the country themselves we should be cautiously optimistic despite the time given that we do have a new toolkit on our hands a vaccine the covert 19 vaccine on our hand but i think the do we need to keep a very very close. vigil on how the virus is behaving how the virus is our people our people are adjusting to these known non-pharmaceutical public health measures of hand washing using the mask and i think this is not the time to drop the guard i think this is the time to be more vigilant and do more in terms of the disease surveillance and the restaurants measures. legal team has warned that the democrat push to convict him in the u.s.
12:08 pm
senate could push the country towards a civil war here's how day one of trump's trial unfolded. they tell us that we have to have this impeachment trial such as it is to bring about unity but they don't want unity and they know this so-called trial will tear the country in half leaving tens of millions of americans feeling left out of the nation's agenda. as dictated by one political party that now holds the power in the white house and in our national legislature well it's a very serious situation on capitol hill where we've got an impeachment trial underway donald trump's lawyers they call it absurd and unconstitutional meanwhile we've got the prosecution saying this is the comeuppance for treacherous donald trump and the backdrop for all of this is a country that is deeply deeply divided this trial will tear this country apart perhaps like we've only seen once before in our history we are really here because the majority in the house of representatives does not want to face donald trump as
12:09 pm
a political rival in the future with this trial you will put up new and bigger wounds across the nation the constitution is a document designed to protect the rights of the minority not the rights of the majority now the charge against donald trump in the impeachment proceedings is inciting in surat action and they are arguing that under the 14th amendment of the us constitution trump is ineligible for office because he engaged in inciting insurrection and this flows from the events of january 6th we've heard testimony from what happened at this point people are recapping of the situation where there were 5 deaths there were many injuries on capitol hill as trump supporters stormed in and penetrated the u.s. capitol congressional staffers were very afraid for their lives there was violence that unfolded and all of this has got the prosecution at the impeachment trial
12:10 pm
appealing to people's emotions and saying there must be harsh consequences for trump if that's not an impeachable offense then there is no such thing what our country experienced that day. is the framers worst nightmare come to life this one senator said they could have killed all of us this cannot be the future of america. we cannot have presidents inciting and mobilizing mob violence against our government and our institutions now these are very serious proceedings with a very big implications for the country however if you're looking on it seems like a rather theatrical and strange performance you've got the recitation of poetry and you've got witnesses crying and breaking down into tears you and i told my daughter tabitha. or told her how sorry i was and i promised her that it would not be like this again the next time she came back to
12:11 pm
the capitol with me. and you know what she said. she said dad. i don't want to come back to camp and. you got the waving around of the mouth say tongues little red book in order to make political points it's all very theatrical very explosive meanwhile all across the country millions of americans were main quite divided in the aftermath of an election they seem to be watching with lots of anger a gun sales are up throughout the united states here's some of what we've heard from americans if you keep heading down the same way. they're going to push people into another civil war i'm very worried about this country where it's going. it's a bad thing he's out of office we'll be sure pieces for to remove him from office he's already been removed they could get worse and it seems like every day doing good work that's not good for this. country the size of start going on democrats
12:12 pm
are. you know. i don't want to be the victim you know like honestly i've never thought about that have meaning to a lot of those choices some point there will be a final vote on whether or not donald trump is indeed convicted regardless of the outcome donald trump has certainly made history he's the only president in u.s. history to have been impeached on 2 different. asians so quite dramatic goings on we've got the military all over washington d.c. we've got the country watching on television we've got a lot of divisions 74000000 americans voted for it despite a pretty solid number boating against him impeachment proceedings continue even though donald trump has left office already and it is not the president the impeachment vote marches on words. most happening inside the chamber outside there's a heavy security presence around the capitol building with a hearing to taking place you know areas sealed off by a $2.00 mi to fence and national guard troops are on patrol as part of
12:13 pm
a major security operation that's been running since the storming of the capitol by trump supporters on january the 6th the pentagon says the troops will stay there until at least mid march and that the entire operation is costing around a $1000000000.00 but a senior advisor to trump's 2016 presidential campaign believes the trial lacks any genuine legal basis. well i think it's also understand it which i think most americans really don't is that it is political theater it's a political trial it's not a criminal trial and so this is this is about the politics the individual they have in front of them which is happens to be the former president of united since we're here because the lens is clearly political which is we don't like don't. and we don't like what he did we don't like what he said well the president probably was an artful and should probably not have said some things instead
12:14 pm
doesn't really rise to. the incitement of violence the democrats are claiming this is this is all about whether or not the majority party which has never really liked donald trump as we can all admit to that there's not any democrat that's going to come out and say i liked donald trump in the top administration so there's a lot that they need to. pack through this hearing but i do think it might actually lead to a try all only because they've spent this much time and energy and effort and publicity and propaganda so if you're going to go to a trial that like with the american public through this one we already know the outcome is going to be that he doesn't get impeached. which is stepping up its crackdown on conservative commentators accused of spreading false information about the us electoral process to have the latest examples of jim hoff the founder of the
12:15 pm
website gateway pundit and also radio host a way out of route they've both been blocked by twitter what it called repeated violations of civic integrity policy it fell foul of the platforms rules by promoting donald trump claiming that the november election was marred by fraud since the storming of the u.s. capitol last month which has burned more than $70000.00 accounts for similar reasons including that of the former president a call went out and talked to me about his back and he said alternative voices are being silenced. this is a joe mccarthy which fights against conservative voices they're tried to eliminate dissent they're trying to eliminate diversity while they talk all day about diversity if you're black it's great if you're let's you know it's great if you're gay it's great if you're a woman it's great if you're transsexual it's great god forbid in the united states of america you'd be a childless conservative they want to destroy your life and silence you censor you ban you burn your books this is the irony you know the hero of liberals all the liberal activists is sol in ski he wrote
12:16 pm
a book called rules for radicals and he always said look in the mirror whatever you see blame the other guy democrats have spent 50 years attack joe mccarthy for which he wants now they're very good ads i don't even know why i was suspended to be showed me the tweet i do will of bet you that 74000000 americans that voted for trump agree with every word of my tweet how do you ban someone's opinions when 74000000 people who have the waters agree with them as i mentioned the founder of the gateway pundit was also bans on the social media giant off to his site posted this video these are screenshots from the clip to health claims that it shows the delivery of absentee ballots to a polling station in detroit i was after the deadline for the live recent past of the sites pledged to release more such videos in the coming days u.s. election officials have said there's no evidence of significant fraud in the 2020 presidential vote which they call the most secure in the country's history but jim hoffa the gateway pundit thinks there's no justification for shutting out those who
12:17 pm
disagree. twitter does not want is to release any more of this information they're citing as as spreading and violating their ethics clause that they just put in where you cannot challenge anything about the 20 twentieth's action and yet there are still individuals who are challenging the 2016 election that still allowed on twitter they're so secure with their position why are they cracking down and eliminating eliminating. sites like myself from the social media platforms it doesn't make sense and this is what we've fought against for several months now . this is all take coming up relatives of a young black man in the u.k. who died just i was often leaving police custody a calling for justice it's one of our stories still ahead after the break.
12:18 pm
internet censorship is happening at an accelerated pace conservatives and progressives are mean to monetize and he planted more times than not the censorship was never really explained we are left to assume when the phrase community standards is invoked we somehow were threatening but that's what dissent is all about. imagine picking up a future textbook on the early years of the 21st century what are the chapters called gun violence school shootings. first it was my job it was my field bill it was my savings i have nothing i have nothing it is not like i don't trust aloof or resources i look for jobs i look for everything i can to make
12:19 pm
this. annoying the doing is. the road to the american dream paved with good refugees it's this very idealized image of our america makes americans look hostile the deaths that happen every single day this is a history of the usa america. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by our own personal those words. the dares thinks. we dare to ask.

don't see emigrants racist on maybe 4 percent of the support and we wouldn't be discussing him after all if he'd been arrested anywhere else other than in russia. clare daly is a member of the european parliament and talk to us later she told us that some politicians have a vested interest in seeking confrontation with russia. by doing so unfortunately it's her ongoing campaign and so i do european union i think in many ways driven by the military industrial complex which is sort of holst russia and the enemy in order to justify your launching or secured so it's you and we have this narrative of supposedly european values whatever they are that we're supposed to bring them to the rest of the worlds and not russia isn't playing which is obviously nonsense i don't think i regret the fact that it does reflect a deteriorating relationship but there are certainly elements many elements inside

12:25 pm
a death of a young healthy lac who was arrested by the police during his detention he came into contact with 52 police officers and within hours he died it is absolutely right so it should be good in the same context as george floyd this is not unusual in black communities the forces say that early findings indicate no misconduct issues and no excessive force but have referred themselves to the independent office for police conduct as part of an investigation c.c.t.v. and body one video has already been and will continue to be examined this will assist in establishing an understanding the events that took place early findings by the force indicate no misconduct issues and no excessive force we are aware of the extensive reporting on social media but due to the ongoing investigation referral we are unable to comment any further this stage one month on the questions
