i was very poor i thought i was doing my best to get back to. the strongest appeal . the head of the u.k.'s parliamentary health committee admits in this handling of the response. and reveals the country will need to back over again and. the british government threatens to jail people probably 10 years if they lie about travelling to come but we put the issue up for debate. on the big issues that we should from people coming. through the countries you're going to. also this hour donald trump's summit in the achievement trial rolls on with democrats amending video evidence to boost their case but the former president cited last month's capital right.

here watching our international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned 6 pm welcome to the program new mutations a comin 1000 are likely to require a complete review x. nation of the british population later this year that's the warning coming from prime minister boris johnson. but i think we're going to have to get used to the idea of. revenge. as we as we come to place these new variants almost 4000000 cover cases have been confirmed in the u.k. since the start of the pandemic and nearly 115000 people have died at the worst toll in europe the country is now accelerating its track entry scheme with volunteers going door to door to check whether or not people of the disease as studies show the u.k.'s astra zeneca job offers only limited protection against new coronavirus variants but some researchers want to continue use of the shot arguing

it helps protect against the worst effects of the mutations. it comes after the head of the parliamentary health committee said the code response had been mishandled jeremy hunt added that above all the government should have reacted quicker as a country we have not got everything right in our pandemic handling we need to learn lessons and the biggest lesson of all is that in a pandemic you have to act faster than the virus tough new measures for travelers to the u.k. will come into force on monday legal experts including top u.k. judges have heavily criticized the government's threat to jail arrivals who lie about their travel history or quarantine plans a secretary about her colleague announce the controversial regulations and parliament anyone who lies on the passenger locates a form and tries to conceal that they've been in the country only read this in the 10 days before arrival here will face a prison sentence of up to 10 years actually

a ridiculous thing for the sick to state for health to say we're really going to lock people up to 10 years so being dishonest about the fact that they've been to coach who by all means give them a shot does mr hancock really think that nondisclosure of a visit to portugal is worse than the large number of violent farms offenses where sexual offenses involving minors which the maximum is 7 years. the red list refers to $33.00 countries including brazil and south africa which have registered highly infectious new strains of the coronavirus british nationals returning from those nations and others will have to quarantine the government approved hotels out their own expense for at least 10 days we put that up for debate. i think one of the big issues that we've suffered from is people coming against the united kingdom from hostile countries we've not had the proper testing at the airports and we've not had the proper current aid but now we've got to do is absolutely guarantee that it would not conditional to our borders we absolutely have to make sure that people

are all this this less i did recover from our current state and. $33.00 so who would rather come true it's where if you look at lists you could argue there are some machines and though you could argue that there's some properties which should be only are x. we have to expect people when they come to our borders to be all east about where they've been and to make a genuine declaration i think that's a legitimate request and in this case we're requesting that people should simply say where they've been jury that foreign basics i don't think that's the reasonable thing to take the road paper to be almost it's probably it's probably government i'm not all of us. who are. just a very astute sense of this whole estate and the government they were going to rule katzenberg is wrong at all many things which are actually going to wearing those of us that are turning round and saying that school should go back that people should be what have failed to persuade the british government what annoys me at the moment

is the only thing that's not locked down is the borders the government's constantly changing the rules because the reality is though you have tried leaving her there are 3 which i should know who were soon in march last year well we know lot on countries in the world who talk a lot faster because they focus only on the medical measures we in this country have given up our democracy giving up our freedom we are now grown by medical experts and the only way for getting out of that is stopping people coming to the country from red zones and quarantining them properly thank goodness made explorers worth their weight. well she's 3 countries now who chose for them to go through someone's going to your soap so good to be getting it was perfect i'm glad you felt you want to suit me and so there were a lot of people who the only way we could stop you variations from outside because

you take a stupid shot the ball just this is no cause i just wish i could actually with respect we have found in the arguments of persuading people to go fast and all the business they're not going to do it despite the inoculation push one covered vaccine center in london's shut early due to in low uptake and the u.k.'s nursing chief has said ethnic minority communities and particular have fallen for anti-black scene myths are to escape our church has the details. the u.k. has the highest coronavirus death toll in europe and research says ethnic minorities are up to 3 times more likely to die but this vaccination harbin the multicultural area of happening in east london had to reduce its opening hours because minorities are more reluctant to get the job due to mistrust of the government i was kind of on the sure with the amount of. put on the some so called . for go away or be. plenty of statistics

reflects the mistrust a report on behalf of n.h.s. england claims that almost twice as many white overate is have had their 1st injection compared to elderly black britons while an overwhelming majority of black people said they were are likely to get a vaccine if offered one a race equality think tank says the lower numbers aren't about vaccine refusal that fear is often based on past experiences whether incidence of simple misunderstanding cultural confusion or in the case of some patients now trade fear of perceived hostility and racism but concern is also fueled by just information circulating online yet people are now keen to avid various reasons what they've seen in social media you know they believe that this vaccine was made too quickly you know not too quickly not enough try for them to really test the vaccine some believe officials have been too slow to shut down myths i can send you at least 10 videos in my whatsapp that have been circulated from since about last march with

doctors other professionals you don't know where they've come from but all you can say about them is they're clearly and to vaccines and they claim to be protecting the minority community from something that will harm them and the u.k.'s medical chiefs say they're committed to combat ing misinformation and admits it's not community could do rail only if it's in the fight against the pandemic if one particular community remains vaccinated the virus will seek them out and it will go through their community like wildfire it's not something any of us wish to see which is why we're spending a lot of time and a lot of resources in this area. the big message i have for everyone is this virus just doesn't care what ethnic background you're from it just doesn't care about the color of your skin or where you live in the world the virus does not discriminate the u.k. has made significant progress with its vaccine rollout which has been faster than most other countries but to see the program completed

a key obstacle needs to be overcome convincing the most vulnerable communities to take the job of b.c.v.a. you see a continuing nation of the existence of the virus that people are already disproportionately affected by gas and by this virus so if i clean cotton and it's in a community is only dressed to make sure that they do get vaccinated days to stay safe to get them to that point i think simply telling them this is even your own best healthy jessi's not a not because it was doesn't take account of dish huge history a lack of trust of the communities in the state now is fidelity to work with a trusted leaders on the ground should it she's holding nice ations movements in communities on the ground who have got credible alternative and not trusted by communities. they will follow. there are many is

extending its lock down to march amid concerns over new strains of covert 19 accounts after chancellor merkel admitted that the government was too slow in its response to the 2nd wave of the pandemic. we were not careful enough and not fast enough we didn't shut down public life and consistency enough and that science of a 2nd wave and warnings from various scientists it has been a year of learning together how the virus was and what works against it and then in means not always doing everything right from the start but correct and. germany shutdown was due to expire on the 14th of february but will not run an extra 3 weeks but there are some exceptions schools and daycare centers can gradually reopen depending on decisions by local authorities restaurants will remain closed but her dressers can open their doors for march the 1st opposition groups have branded the measures inconsistent and urged the government to present a plan for leaving the lockdown meanwhile a german newspaper has dropped

a bombshell of sorts welters claiming that the government hired scientists to come up with research that would justify harsh coronavirus measures which had already been decided by ministers it's not hundreds of pages of correspondence between the interior ministry and a research group dating back to last march. and i'm going to bring and lyme journalist and political commentator thomas fassbender germany's daily infection rate is in a study about slow decline so do you think a walk down extension is justified. well just fine i'd rather say germany is stuck between the wrong and a hard place we certainly did not do our job on the 2nd wave as the chancellor rightly admitted but on the other hand we're not getting our act together when it in terms of vaccination so now we have the slowly starting over slowly starting vaccination program and at the same time we have the new strains

the new mutations on the rise not just outside as was discussed for the u.k. but also very pretty much inside germany so right now the mood is worsening among the general public because they see that the vaccination does not go ahead at the necessary speed at the same time we are prolonging the the lockdown which in many respects does not make sense for many people but because why is a had opened in a small shop is not to mention that report earlier saying the interior ministry hired scientists to justify a lockdown policy which had already been decided if that is accurate is that potentially embarrassing for the government. there's a lot that is it that is actually embarrassing for the government. as far as i know these reports concern the last years decision and obviously to this date the government prefers to be hiding behind scientists and there is very little willingness and courage on the side of the government as the general perception

when it comes to decision making for example the legal situation of the law would allow the chancellor to take unilateral measures without inviting. every every 2nd we all 'd the prime ministers of the different federal states but mrs america prefers a consensual consensual strategy of leading and this leads to the fact that after each year now we have not yet had say a crisis comedy we are not up to dealing with the crisis and this is the responsibility of our top politicians as you're mentioning earlier merkel has admitted the government responded too late to the 2nd wave of the pandemic and there is much confusion about the rules that are in place now why it makes sense to close one place but not the other do you think tougher action is needed. there is

there is more there is need to tougher action on speeding up vaccination that this is one thing there is necessarily tougher action on taking decisions taking tough and more carriages decisions in terms of opening that businesses and not opening the other businesses opening certain schools and kindergartens because the situation for should and for small children is dire and for their parents at the same time trying not to or not to open up unnecessary means for example clubs and part is of course must be strictly prohibited so take. this general unwillingness to take sharp and carriages decisions and rather to go ahead and say ok we'll make a general lock down and then produce. a big number of scientists who somehow corroborate and support the those decisions so you find the lack of vaccines the

shortages that are being seen right now in the e.u. the biggest problem right now i would say that the. public would accept the lockdown much better if we saw 'd a very spent vaccination program because so far just think about above 3 and a half percent or so of people in germany have gotten there for only the 1st injection the 1st job. those those are the 2nd job that something sometime somewhere below 2 percent so people are not impressed by neither the lockdown nor the vaccination speed that neat needs to be changed if the government wants to regain the general trust we've been speaking with journalist and political commentator thomas fassbender thank you for time and your comments thank you. in the us donald trump's 2nd impeachment trial in the senate entered a 2nd day on wednesday democrats are trying to prove that the former president

inside of the capitol siege on january the 6th donald trump surrendered his role as commander in chief and became the insider in chief he didn't just tell them to fight like hell he told them how where and when this is dangerous this was a deliberate premeditated incitement to his base and when he ran on a nonviolent measures he turned to the violence he had every reason to know that they were armed that they were violent and that they would actually fight he did nothing to stop it nothing to help us. by all accounts from the people that were around him he was delighted the trial evidence started on tuesday with a video montage of the riots and pro-democratic party media opponents quickly voiced their shock at seen the footage. you. were.

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 the video it stopped everyone in their tracks there was silence in the chamber. trans defense team also presented a series of videos showing democratic officials calling for trump's impeachment clip state back to tom's 1st year in office designed to show they were trying to force him out long before the current charges got legal and political analysis on a case that is grounds distorting the evidence showed you 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 a quantify military apparel was it ready for arrests and helmets already

anticipating what they were going to do prior to donald trump saying in fact 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 own this impeachment trial the charges that have been alleged against the president are that his words caused this event his words but for his words this would not have happened that his words were the incendiary moment that actually caused these seemingly otherwise erstwhile peaceful people to do what they did they're going to say that she should have known better that the rhetoric the volume the intensity and the timing everything but the words themselves and what's also interesting is that the democrats have expurgated and bowdlerized from their initial evidence the portion of donald trump saying be

peaceful do not harm do no harm in that part was removed the only reason this is being done is to prevent donald trump from running again and why is that because many people suspect that internal polling indicate that the democrats realize that he might be. stronger again if you were to run in 2024. canadian psychology guru jordan peterson has cancelled a string of media appearances after accusing a british paper of distorting his words in an interview and a blog post the bestselling author said the sunday times has shown cruelty in spite in its right up play book up next on story. put yourself in jordan peterson's shoes you also did an interview in none other than the times and you've got a book coming out soon so your publishers suggest that you do it your commissioning

editor sells it to you as an article that celebrates your life and even office to clear up any factual inaccuracy that may have been doing the rounds while you've struggled through a harrowing near death health crisis wait i can even read you a bit of the letter from the times offering pietersen the interview i like to think retail difficult stories with generous space time and objectivity we run long form features telling the whole story rather than short flashy headlines so you pour out your heart and soul to a nice lady on the result you get a hit piece that topped with a new and flashy headline and did lifted with factual inaccuracy as the story was written by this woman. in the head she's the chief interview at the sunday times and judging by this article she's not

a fan of jordan peterson or his daughter mchale or the peterson's have been so good by the article that they've posted the audio of the entire interview online as well as a transcript of the interview and mckay petersen's done a reaction video to the article as well there are certainly differences between the recording and the resulting article take for example the sensationalist claim in the paragraph where. it is daughter's words it is like a horror movie a movie in which her father gets hoped on benzodiazepines becomes suicidal is hospitalized for his own safety and then diagnosed with schizophrenia dad do. not just to be clear and has never had schizophrenia he had. which is a very deadly and severe side effect of some psych medications and originally started with benzodiazepines used to treat insomnia and depression associated with an

autoimmune disorder his make a. telling a kid ahead about the the zia. suffering from it's a crawling sensation that makes you not want to stop moving and so it's commonly misdiagnosis schizophrenia because they don't know what it is and in order to treat schizophrenia you get put on psych meds and that causes worsening aka fuchsia and by the way the interview makes absolutely no attempt to expand on this topic of. which jordan. and trying to raise awareness about so he was misdiagnosed multiple times mis diagnosed when we finally found a competent doctor he was diagnosed with that which is what i tried to make clear in the interview because lots of people with confusion are misdiagnosed and it kills them there are some videos of what looks like on line and i have to warn you

you may find what you're about to see distressing. the woman in this video committed suicide from the relentlessness of being sent to play here's the thing about inaccuracy in reporting when 8 can head to peterson's misdiagnosis of schizophrenia as a bona fide diagnosis in the times article it doesn't just cement that era into one newspaper article because of the way we journalists. now stories that want to air. all the news stories after the daily mail published jordan peterson claims he was suicidal and hooked on friends or die as a plane. after that. new york post publishes jordan peterson says he was

suicidal addicted to bed and has schizophrenia. join peaks and displayed some real vulnerability and that candid interview the recording feels lol as if you haven't already turned. on me that you feel like you're being. used to situation and that's certainly how it appears grotesque for sure. and you feel incredibly silly conscious embarrassed . after a while i just like being self-conscious being so the problem of being self-conscious . if you're in enough pain you no longer and yet the overall. generous to say the least there's an obsession with likening the peterson family to

the trunks and similar tamia sleek how about this comment about mchale is a pair and. i've been recognisable from the ordinary looking brunette from photos just a few years ago today is a glossy pouting blonde and talks with a zealous spiky conviction of a president press spokeswoman his response to that by the way i can't believe how. there are lip injections woman you can get them to. the offical continue the trump trophy wave analogy then she compares him to donald trump because why not parallels with donald trump come to mind another unhappy man closed off from his emotions projecting strongman mythology while hunkered down in a bunker with his family against the world jordan peterson closed off from his emotions a man loves nothing better and a good cry harry is crying in

a previous interview. it is only the individual after all who suffers so overwhelming. there's been no. depression or through. question the trucks close to the bone and only don't get encouraged munt people need so little encouragement who's. i mean harry is crying during the times interview just 10 minutes into it and fact sort. of. just. we've even had him crying on our t. well if you heard it to. bring you to tears the sad truth is that the times cynical and biased article will have no effect whatsoever on what is probably one of the world's biggest newspapers it can go on printing lies with absolutely no

consequences and they've all still get to interview the biggest stars because that's just how the universe works but the triple problem to clamp back from the peterson's the order of the interview the left is to and from the times and mchale is reaction video to the article scored an equaliser for the canadians moreover with this story it is quite clear who the audience is on. answer breakdown of today's top headlines for now but if you're looking for more you can always had to our website r.t. dot com including in this hour. show seemed wrong. just don't call. me if you get to shape

out just to get agitated and in game treatment equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. no insulin would see that and there could be. good. and then you're back in a can matter a canard while. on a bad national. trend i mean i. feel some miles on them a little hazy. and national shaken the national

association. that doesn't know how to set the commute. but i bet all small and a lot of the so what is. needed cannot give us the impetus that all of you in the nose you know get a feel good. persona and know it and when i'm. in my name a few of the. i am max ties or this is the kaiser report lots of jail political news to cover. well we have stories here about nigeria because in the 2nd half we interview ray yousef who is the c.e.o.

and founder of pax call dot com and the important thing about this is that we did interview him before just before friday afternoon when nigeria's central bank orders banks to close accounts of all crypto users any breaches of the order would face severe regulatory sanctions the central bank warned just so you know for the 2nd half we interviewed raised before that but the important thing about this as the central bank is you know banning banks from doing business with any companies within one geria who deal with crypto currency of course india tried this about 2 years ago and then that ruling got overturned by the supreme court so now nigeria is doing this amidst you know some pretty high inflation rates of 13 percent and of course the scope at lockdown which is restricting already the financial grid built on top of the dollar so i want to remind nigeria an important point that one of the greatest investors in america said.
