a world health organization scientist investigating the origins of code 19 questions the reliability of u.s. intelligence after washington says it wants to conduct its own probe in china. the european commission president admits the bloc was too late in authorizing covert vaccines as e.u. states struggle with shortage of supply shortages we hear later from a w.h.y. would visor. it's not a matter of race between countries who should get 1st and which block should get countries and european union need to plan for population to be covered by a certain period of time. and donald trump's senate impeachment trial enters day 2 democrats are now trying to bolster their case that the former u.s.

president incited an insurrection. and i would have news 247 this is r.t. international from moscow i'm calling the program the state world health organization scientist is questioning the reliability of u.s. intelligence on the origins of covert 19 after taking part in a source tracing mission in china jacqueline berger discussed developments with correspondent constantine. the figure that is front and center to this story peter does show he is a british american viral adjust and he was assisting the w.h.o. mission to hunt to find out the origins of the current 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 men made in came from a chinese lab let's have a listen well now this joe biden has to look tough on china please don't rely too

much on u.s. intelligence increasingly disengaged 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 the w.h.o. to all information regarding the earliest days of the pen demick and that speaks volumes about the level of trust that the new u.s.

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 claim that he's going to reverse most a peace process or its policies especially the one on pulling out of international organizations like w h o but the americas overall stance in that a shoe doesn't seem like changed a lot from what it was during the trump. 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 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 covert 1000 then really you know if we talk about a 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 to the chinese who a province where the virus was 1st detected in 2019 but the probe didn't give us 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. meanwhile the rollout in europe is

being plagued by delays with the european commission president involved the law in a meeting for the 1st time that the blocks for and shorten its response and should have approved vaccines. don't know if this is an attack it's a hurt just what effect is that today we're not where we want to be in converting the virus we were late in granting authorization we were too old to mystic about mess production and maybe we also took for granted that the doses ordered would actually arrive on time so we must ask ourselves why and what lessons we can draw from it. while acknowledging that the e.u. overestimated its production capacity vala lines of vendors the joint e.u. vaccine strategy is the right way of dealing with the pandemic we spoke to a w.h.o. advisor who told us inoculation efforts need to be coordinated across borders. it's 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 have to

be. realistic in all these vaccines available e t. plus vaccine do 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 it did to the restaurants cannot be within the international 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 these global public good

a code 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. we 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 days 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. impeachment trial in the u.s. senate is well into its 2nd day now democrats are trying to prove that the former

president incited the capitol hill riots on january the 6th. it's a moment of truth for america and this mob was well orchestrated their conduct was intentional they did it all in plain sight proudly openly and loudly this mob was provoked over many months by donald j. trump he could do and would do the exact same thing again. because he said his conduct was totally appropriate he didn't just tell them to fight like hell he told them how where and when this is dangerous donald trump surrendered his role as commander in chief and became the insider in chief of a dangerous instruction of the trial kicked off a day ago with a video montage of those events presented as evidence and pro-democratic media pundits were suitably shocked. it

was. 7 remarkable video by the house managers powerful an expletive laced video timeline disturbing and compelling video staggered like the rest of us by the presentation of the house managers with that video it stopped everyone in their tracks there was silence in the chamber. later on donald trump's defense team also presented a series of videos showing democratic officials calling for trouble to be impeached eclipse dates back to trump's 1st year in office and supposedly proof that the democrats were out for blood long before any charges have to realize because some of the legal and politics analysis we've been hearing in the past few hours over the average showed we would never know this from the particular evidence that was presented by the democrats but that these folks many of them were already there completely adorned some of them and almost acquired by military apparel was zip ties ready for arrest and helmets already anticipating what they were going to

do prior to donald trump saying and this is a political exercise this is political theater this is not subject to any court reviewing what happens this isn't an animal it's shown this impeachment trial the only reason this is being done is to prevent donald trump records from running again works and why is that because many people suspect that internal polling indicates that the democrats realize that he might be stronger again if you were to run in 2024 this is playing out along partisan lines very predictably so they don't have the $67.00 votes is this really much to do about nothing but it would be a child to impeach johnstone deicide time he was in office he came with the inside russia so be a campaign in russia campaign for him from day one. in so many different

ways will never successful translation even shut down. everywhere which is an incredibly dangerous president anybody who's on the left to anyone who is against imperialism in this country because we disapprove for years in india so i think trump is how the bat and the censor group over sentient it remains to be seen with a colleague this is one of the big things they're examining right now. it's an internal feud has broken out of the new york times after an award winning veteran reporter was forced to quit the newspaper for using racist language donald mcneil the junior had worked for the paper for 45 years we've been widely praised of late for his science coverage of the covert $1000.00 pandemic but last month its reputation took a downturn several school students who went on a trip organized by the new york times and 2019 accused him of repeatedly making

racist remarks in an e-mail to apology he explained that he did use a racial slur when discussing a video in which such a would have previously been used he described it as an act of extraordinarily bad judgment of the new york times was quick to condemn its reporters behavior posting a staff memo saying we do not tolerate racist language but godless of intent but a leaked exchange from a facebook group of current and former newspaper employees suggests that not everyone may be on board. we do not tolerate racist language regardless of intent might be the most racist statement i've ever read he did means all races why didn't the new skill do far more to defend and protect the job of a longtime times employee one who at times a tireless heroic work on behalf of the killed to help improve pay and conditions for all n.y.t. employees why is it to focus in discussions like this almost always isn't ruling in the perpetrators live and not those who are harmed by his actions or saw the 1st

racism scandal of the new york times last year readers and staff complained about an op ed written by sen tom cotton which said that trump should have called in the troops against black lives not a riot as the opinion editor was forced to reload zine for allowing that to be published i discussed the story with r.t. america's chris hedges who work with the new york times. well i think we should remember that the executive editor of the new york times is. african-american dean baquet very fine reporter in iraq who are together and dean initially judged that it was a poor judgment call but it wasn't and wasn't he wasn't using a derogatory slur either directed at a person or a group of people it was the n. word which perhaps is a way personal should not have altered but that was dean's initial judgment and then there was one back to her powerful kind of cancel culture especially among the

liberal elites there was blowback within the institution and dawn was removed but you know the reporting of how that word was used. is accurate and i think this was probably overly judgmental and too severe. this is all to say on the way relatives of a young black man in the game kay who died just i was off to leaving police custody a calling for justice it's among all stories still ahead when we come back. internet censorship is tough being at an accelerated pace conservatives and progressives are being demoted toys and the plot more times than not the censorship is never really explained we are left to assume when the phrase community standards

is invoked we some are threatening but that's what dissent is all about. seemed wrong wrong wrong just don't call. me old yet to stamp out this they become agitated and engagement because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. and. 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 to lose no i don't try aloof or resources i look for jobs i look for everything i can to make this house. annoying the doing is. the road to the american dream paved with good refugees it's this very idealized image of our america needs americans look possed the debts that happen every single day this is a modern history of the usa america. rushes head back to you lawmakers off the claims the european foreign policy chief was too soft on moscow during his recent trip foreign ministry spokeswoman marie is

or however accuse those politicians of throwing a tantrum. i'll reveal a secret about western partners when they fail to carry out a flogging a tantrum the aim was to carry out that public flogging which i think had been planned very thorough only 15 you know make his back to motion to force out here said. he defended himself by also attacking russia over the visit and a new parliamentary session and rest duties a deep disappointment and growing mistrust between the 2 being union and russia i also wanted to test to do russian authorities are interested in a serious attempt to reverse did it did you audition the valar relations and seized the opportunity to have a more constructive dialogue. dance. as in korea. you know more scout abuse that the visit of high representative bordello to you mediate and

offend the european union mr burrell and the on the other hand made a fool of himself last week you must go by his actions he made a mockery of the ambition of the e.u. to play a major role in the world stage the catalan leaders have been sentence from 9 to 13 years in prison for our nation our friend. we have that the double standard applied by do you undermine its global credibility as a defender of freedoms do you cannot go around the world record commanding receive that does not apply to chelsea imus happy as anybody else to sound out for anybody's rights including the foul nice but let's be honest about this and he said fishes and see immigrants racist on maybe 4 percent of the supports and we wouldn't be discussing him after all if he'd been arrested anywhere else other than in russia of a hero m.p. you just told us later that some politicians have

a vested interest in seeking confrontation with russia. by doing so unfortunately it's currently ongoing campaign and so i do european union i think anyway stricken by the military industrial complex it's hard to hold. the enemy in order to justify your much more secured so it's you and we have this narrative of supposedly european guy use whatever they are that we're supposed to bring them to the rest of the worlds and not russia isn't playing ball with it 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 view or people who are happy to play a swordsman and see russian current and we are seeing the us increasingly so now the. campaign is in britain are demanding answers from police chiefs over the death of a black man the day after his arrest shaadi edwards dashed spoke to the family of mohammed

hassan you smile let me know that. he was he. was always you know. he will live by my actual johnny was the older cousin and you know he was known by the whole family and he has not the whole now light 24 year old mohammed mohamed has son was arrested at home in cardiff on friday the 8th of january he was suspected of breaching the peace the us or at least added the next morning without charge then after arriving back at his house in newport rhode he passed away in his sleep his family and lawyers allege it was due to serious injuries from the time spent in custody why did he die. it died because of you know because i'm bill who doesn't know the injuries they all we know. that.

you know he looked. away and he went home to write i never want again not to. go on how following mohammed's death hundreds took part in protests over successive nights in cardiff they demanded the release of c.c.t.v. and party of on footage from officers at cardiff bay police station many held black lives matter banners and compared the case to that of george floyd the 46 year old black man killed while being arrested in minneapolis in the usa back in may he came out with bruises are and cuts to his body and to his face this is a death of a young healthy lack 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 to police conduct as part of the 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 and referral we are unable to comment any further this fades one month on the questions surrounding mohammed stethem remain unanswered. the trust between the police and the community appears to be at an all time lie the official report when it comes could change all of that but until then this family's campaign for justice

continues to edward star city r.t. u.k. . as one of the stories we're keeping watch on on air and online r.t. dot com for more of our video and news from around the world that's it for me thanks for watching sean thomas is here in the coming hours to keep you updated on the stories we're across here at r.t. international. a dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women sells their bodies on the streets many of them underage. los angeles police reveal a taste of their daily challenge no if you're going to exploit a child here in los angeles all they were going to come out to see officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight.

the reason triggering this study and the reason it's. those controversial and still important is that it demonstrates the power of social situations and playing roles that can lead healthy good ordinary people to do really bad things. 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 building was my savings i have nothing i have nothing that is not. aloof or resources i look for jobs i look for everything i can to make this house. annoying the doing is. the road to the american dream paved with good refugees and this very

idealized image of. americans look past the deaths that happen every single day this is a modern history of the usa america on r.t. . a new gold rush is underway and. thousands of ill equipped workers off flocking to the gold fields hoping to strike it rich is a good way out of this that you know if i suppose that whatever children are torn between gold. my family was very poor i thought i was doing my best to get back to school which side will have the strongest appeal.

knowing so it would seem that i have no idea who didn't. because. i knew about it in a can matter. and about nationality. belong to them. and. said the community. cannot give us the impetus that all of you love the most you know. the feel of a good. child and know it and when i'm. in my name you know that.

the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person or those great. well they are saying. we dare to ask. hello and welcome to cross talk or all things are considered i'm peter lee bell

internet censorship is happening at an accelerated pace conservatives and progressives are being to monetized and the platforms more up more times than not the censorship is never really explained we are left to assume when the phrase community standards is invoked we somehow are threatening power but that's what dissent is all about. discussing internet censorship i'm joined by my guest in los angeles kim high percentage she's the host of the kim iverson show we also have elwyn he is a regular on the jimmy door show as well as host of the political vigilante on you tube and in baltimore we have wayne you break he is host of the award winning podcast all right cross up close in fact that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it ok let's go to came 1st in los angeles on this very

early morning for her kim what is off the riots and unauthorized speech in our environment here because there is a we have a progressive and we have a conservative on this panel and both of us are getting screwed by you to ok so what is authorized and authorized according to the powers that be. well we can only guess and my guess would be that the authorized speech just whatever fits the establishment's narrative at this point that's what it seems to be i mean people who are being to platform to end censored are the ones that are speaking out maybe critical of the government i mean i don't know what kind of world we're living in right now but this is not the america i was led to believe would be the america of my adulthood that's for sure the same question to you i mean because you know we never know when and we never know when you step over the loving community standards and you know and help people feel to help people feel how they think and why we should be having a debate go ahead. i agree but i also think it

has some to do with advertising dollars. a lot of these companies come out and they are afraid. when their brand is attached to certain speech whether it's on the left or right like you say. but mostly on the right because. those individuals bring. another value. in from being informed in me in money then what people are usually even to hear but when you but when those companies hear these things you know you well people want to buy our stuff and stuff so we're going to tag you so what happens is you tube and these other. well. it's going. to go on you know and they still get their money so you know i mean that of that also wayne is people there.
