international from moscow money is calling break both to the program 1st new mutations of covert 19 are likely to require a complete revaccinated of the british population later this year that's the warning from prime minister boris johnson. i think we're going to have to get used to the idea that revamped leeton in the autumn as we as we come to place these new variants almost 4000000 covert cases have been confirmed in the u.k. since the start of the pandemic nearly $115000.00 people have died the worst toll in europe the country is now accelerating its track and trade scheme with volunteers going door to door to check whether people have the disease the studies show the u.k.'s astra zeneca job offers only limited protection against a new coronavirus variance but some researches want to continue to solve that shot arguing that it does help to protect against the worst effects of the view today sions when it comes after the head of the parliamentary health committee said the covert response had been mishandled former health secretary 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 just by the inoculation push one coben vaccine center in london shut early because of a low uptake in the u.k.'s nursing tree for said that ethnic minority communities in particular fall in for a vaccine with artie's k. partridge has the veto. 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 a sure with the amount of messages they put on this i'm so cool. for go away or be. plenty of statistics reflects the mistrust
5:03 pm
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 race equality think tank says the lower numbers aren't about vaccine refusal that fear is often based on past experiences where the incidence of simple misunderstanding cultural confusion or in the case of some patients now tried fear of perceived hostility and racism but concern is also fueled by just information circulating online yet people are now keen to have it various reasons what they've seen in social media you know they believe that this vaccine was made too quickly. too quickly not enough try for them to really test the vaccine some believe officials have been too slow to shut down on t.v. x. myths i can send you at least 10 videos of my whatsapp that have been so. lated
5:04 pm
from since about last march with doctors other professionals you don't know where they've come from mattel you can say about them is there clearly and to vax as and they claim to be protected the minority community from something that will harm them and the u.k.'s medical chief say they're committed to combat ing misinformation and admits not community could derail all the efforts in the fight against the pandemic if one particular community remains in vaccinated in 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
5:05 pm
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. you see continuing nation of the existence of the virus people already disproportionately affected by. this virus so if i clean cotton communities only dressed to make sure that you get vaccinated to stay safe to get them to the telling i think simply telling it this is even your own best healthy jaycee's not a not because it was doesn't take account of issues history a lack of trust at least communities in the state and that's why they'll need to work with the leaders on the ground shit she's whole in isolation rooms moving little scene communities on the ground who are credible alternative. communities. they will follow. germany's extending its lock down to march
5:06 pm
a bit concerns over the new strains of covert 90 comes after chancellor merkel admitted that the government was too slow in its response to the 2nd wave of the pandemic that involved the image for the digital when we were not careful enough and not fast enough wouldn't shut down public life early and consistently enough and that science of a 2nd wave and warnings from various scientists it has been a year of learning together how the virus works and what works against it and then ing means not always doing everything right from the start but correcting our assessments. germany shutdown was due to expire on the 14th of february but it will now run for an extra 3 weeks there are some exceptions schools and daycare centers can gradually reopen depending on decisions made by local authorities restaurants are going to have to stay shut but has some logs can open their doors from the 1st of march opposition groups have branded the measures inconsistent and urged the government to present a plan for leaving the lockdown. meanwhile leading german newspapers dropped
5:07 pm
a bombshell claim big that the government hired scientists to come up with research that would justify harsh coronavirus measures which had already been decided by ministers it cited hundreds of pages of correspondence between the interior ministry and a research group dating back to last march german journalist and political commentator thomas fassbender thinks the story highlights the lack of clarity in the way policies are being decided. these reports concerning the last year's 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 after even 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 we certainly did not do our job on the 2nd
5:08 pm
wave of that as the chancellor rightly admitted 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 it had opened in a small shop is not. the b.b.c.'s global t.v. news channels be blocked in china it comes and we come after british regulators took china's english language channel off the air as these are all you know reports . that announcement by chinese all thought it sees that b.b.c. wall news will not be allowed to continue their service within chinese territory coming in the wake of our reporting on how china has held a corona virus pandemic in the country saying that they dispute how the b.b.c. of covered the issue and that they simply do not tolerate fake news and it follows in the wake of the huge case for costing regulator taking away the license
5:09 pm
for c.t.s. and the chinese broadcaster and saying that they've taken up my sins away because the channel when the editorial line dictated by the chinese government we are unable to approve the application to transfer the license to the china global television network corporation because it's ultimately controlled by the chinese communist party which is not permitted under u.k. broadcasting law we provide a c g t n with numerous opportunities to come into compliance but it has not done so we now consider it appropriate to withdraw the license for c g t n to broadcast in the u.k. now the chinese decision to be received well may not have many massive consequences that is the channel that isn't great to be watched around china over in chinese hosts it's a channel that's mainly broadcast or watched by visitors in hotels but it just goes to show that even in the wake of donald trump leaving the white house in the hopes
5:10 pm
that many have the west in general and china may begin to rebuild their relationship will this type of tit for tat action when it comes to the opposing sides media outlets certainly doesn't build confidence for future. british based politics electorate occupied long long told me how the moves reflect waning relations between china and the u.k. right now. i think from the kind of more strategic point of who are engaging in the hope it will information we'll all end up on the british side are trying to pick on the chinese side on the and on the chinese side on various things that affect me was annoyed but also all pick on hong kong and other kind of british representation of china in general and debt aspect off the wall was already. foretold i think when the call no buyers and of course this is a continuation of the trauma mystery and after china signed these you wrote china
5:11 pm
investment deal last year it looks like the relationship between china and europe has significance and improved but because the press it. was the fall of the euro and then the u.k. has to find a way to or work with that by the administration and salt china would naturally be seen did you they will be your side of the u.s. from now on. it is our tail the way celebrity psychologist jordan peterson is locked in a better future with a leading british newspaper or taken over that for your model stories after this. the reason for doing this study and the reason it's. those controversial and still important is that it demonstrates the power of social situations and
5:12 pm
playing roles that can lead healthy good ordinary people to do really bad day. how do you define the word reality something like this the state of things as they actually do exist as opposed to an idealist state or notional ideal to say the least this is a philosophical definition listed only in politics is there one political reality can and should one be enforced with this in the end use a ministry of truth. join me every thursday on the alex salmond shill and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.
5:13 pm
the japanese government has said that millions of covert vaccine doses are likely to go to waste because of a lack of specialized syringes the health minister explained the problem which relates to the pfizer biotech. the syringe is used in japan can only draw 5 doses we will use all the syringes we have that control 60 he says but it will of course not be enough as more shots are administered the government is requesting medical equipment manufacturers step up production of the special cern. and japan bought enough of the pfizer shots to inoculate $72000000.00 citizens but that assumes that the medics can administer the entire contents of into vile which requires so-called dead space syringes without those the country's only going to be able to vaccinate 60000000 people can invoke a spoke with lawrence young who is a professor of molecular oncology he thinks the syringe problem should have been anticipated in a way this isn't a surprise but is
5:14 pm
a terrible thing if it's going to end up in wasting doses of that precious vaccine those calls some problem here in japan and it's also causing problems in europe we know there are going to be shoes about the supply of syringes and need of the other aspects of the scenes that we're going to need to to roll out the vaccine across the world as are coming out earlier the same problem is being reported in many countries not just ended in japan do you think the manufacturer should have anticipated this problem or is this something that just came about i think we should have it out has made it in a way it's not unlike the problem we all had at the beginning of the pandemic weed p p e with personal protective equipment there were not enough. gloves suitable suitable plastics for cover for covering covering yourself and i think this isn't an issue that came up because we just weren't expecting that the pandemic and p.p. now in terms of manufacturer around the world has increased enormously in an
5:15 pm
enormously i guess we should have predicted. the german foreign minister said back at critics of a major gas pipeline project with russia. on that scrapping north stream to which is nearly complete would have severe implications very nordstrom's why couldn't it anyone who fundamentally questions north stream to and you can certainly advocate that opinion it must also consider the jews strategic consequences that will have and what that means for europe's ability to influence russia here driving russia and china closer together they created largest economic military alliance there is and i do not think that should be the strategy of the west in this dispute so i'm against burning bridges with russia in this context. germany has so far resisted long running u.s. pressure to hold in order to it's the 2nd leg of a pipeline network running on the baltic sea bed and it's now 1004 percent complete once it is finished it will double the amount of natural gas pumped from russia to
5:16 pm
germany within europe though the recalls to end the project they've intensified since the arrest of russian opposition figure alexina valmy last month speaking earlier on our state m.p. martin says scrapping the old stream too would be a total disaster for germany. could be on one side and on the other so. low on the. energy situation in germany we are or dependent on oil we are dependent on gas we caught a large core coal we don't want because of the problem so gas is much more so it would be a total disaster why should we stop something with the 94 now and i would like. instrumental year and let's finish last but only other maybe some of us think and i think that is not at all it's. like that german government.
5:17 pm
plays a role in the interest of the population of german interests of the population of europe and the interest of the population in germany is to have enough energy and to have good relation to the population in russia because we are all living in europe at a peaceful europe will be the best. next canadian psychology jordan peterson has canceled a string of media appearances after accusing a british newspaper of distorting his words in an interview in a blog post the bestselling author said the sunday times had shown cruelty and spite and it's right up his police. 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
5:18 pm
editor sells it to you as an article that celebrates your life and even office to clear up any factual inaccuracy as 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 does lifted with factual inaccuracy as this 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
5:19 pm
a fan of jordan peterson or his daughter mchale or the peterson's have been so good by the article that they've hosted the audio of the entire interview online as well as a transcript of the interview with katie peterson'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 hooked on benzodiazepines becomes suicidal is hospitalized for his own safety and then diagnosed with schizophrenia dad. is not just to be clear and has never had schizophrenia he had confused 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
5:20 pm
autoimmune disorder his make a lot in the preinterview telling a kid ahead about the the zia. what suffering is 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 make a repeat this 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
5:21 pm
you may find what you're about to see distressing. the woman in this video committed suicide from the relentlessness of the symptoms but here's the thing about inaccuracy in reporting when they can head to peterson's misdiagnoses of schizophrenia as a bona fide diagnosis in the times article it doesn't just cement that one newspaper article because of the way we list. stories that want to. do all the news stories after the daily mail published jordan peterson claims he was suicidal and. after that. new york post
5:22 pm
publishes jordan peterson says he was suicidal addicted to bed zones and has schizophrenia. join peaks and displayed some real vulnerability and that candid interview the recording feels lol he says if you. listen. to 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 so conscious embarrassed. after a while i just like being self-conscious being so the problem of being self-conscious so we don't the. if you're in enough pain you no longer and yet the overall tone of the article was generous to say the least there's an obsession with likening the peterson family to the trunks and similar tamia sleep habits comments
5:23 pm
about mchale as a pair and. i've been recognisable from the ordinary looking brunette from photos just a few years ago today is a glossy pouting barbie blonde and talks with a zealous spiky conviction of a president trump 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 to trump trophy with 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 i'm a. projecting strong man mythology while hunkered down in a bunker with his family you can see the world jordan peterson closed off from his emotions a man loves nothing better and a good cry harry is crying in
5:24 pm
a previous interview it is only the individual after all who suffers so overwhelming. there's been no. depression in her. question the trucks close to the. you know don't give encourage munt and people need so little encouragement who's. i mean harry is crying during the times interview just 10 minutes into it and fact. i haven't done it. 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 that a 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
5:25 pm
consequences i'm 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 it 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. and that is your news for now thanks very much for watching that's information thomas is here in the coming hours to keep you updated on all the big stories we're across from around the world who behave in about 35 minutes. it. seemed wrong. all. the way to get to shape out just because get out of bed

5:28 pm
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 interviewed ray yousef who is the c.e.o. and founder of paxil dot com and the important thing about this is that we did interview him before just before friday afternoon when nigeria central bank orders banks to close accounts of off 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 before that but the important thing about this is 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
5:29 pm
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 just this past year about 6 months ago he said. is a bet on human ingenuity that's really important when you look at nigeria because nigeria is blessed on the one hand with a lot of oil. but it's really blessed uniquely so for for many of many countries with human ingenuity i mean they have entrepreneurs that you just can't believe like the huge nollywood industry the huge rap industry the local decentralized locally own sort of distribution of music content things i think it is
5:30 pm
a boom boom in entrepreneurial country with a young population who took to bitcoin readily because it superseded all of the banking infrastructure that nigerians had been blocked from using the international banking sector and also banking between countries between african countries just moving money from next door to a country is almost impossible all over the continent of africa and once bitcoin unlocked the entrepreneurial ism oh the nigerians we saw a boom in that economy and we saw. something that nobody had expected and that is so way out of a lot of the interference that comes from outside nigeria and i want to point out i had mentioned that nigeria is a huge oil producer.
