themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. in the headlines this friday moscow as accuse brussels of politicizing the fight against the pandemic as the kremlin head spotted controversial comments from the e.u. chief us along the line casting doubt over russia's kovacs e. we discussed the e.u. is ongoing criticism of sputnik the with russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman. talking addressable expects into the world not without high to making it too expensive for black mating with. and the campaign to boycott facebook games momentum in australia after the tech giant blogs news posts in the country something cambra has called an abuse of power to put the issue up for debate should facebook profit on someone else's work without giving him some of what peter's

problem with facebook is that they're utterly boring to the american i think this whole social media. i guess ecosystem has really spun out of control in terms of how it is monetizing. a very warm welcome you're watching on t.v. international with me mickey air and our top story this hour russia has accused brussels of politicizing the fight against the coronavirus pound make the e.u. chief vulgar line made controversial comments in which she questioned moscow's motives to help the bloke with his funk steam roll out. we are perplexed to hear assessments by the had of the you exactly as it is either in an effort to politicize the issue in an insubstantial dated and indeed deplorable way or indicates an inadequate level of awareness of the top level official that's live

along the lines comments come as the e.u. commission seeks to restore confidence in the blocs own vaccine rollouts which has been much slower than predicted. taylor joins me in the studio to discuss the issue . well it's pretty clear from the statement that russia is dismayed by the lack of diplomacy but also the lack of humanity that the chief has recently shown again politics beats cooperation when it comes to the covert 19 franc scene for the e.u. it really has been a struggle a struggle to get production off the ground a struggle to get jobs and arms a struggle with the u.k. of the who gets however many doses and the slowness in inoculating its 450000000 strong population has got people angry and frustrated this was in that view a political test russel's failed to the point that wonderland had to publicly apologize and did not distracted today we're not where we want to be in combating

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 would actually arrive on time we must ask ourselves why and what lessons we can draw from it while one lesson that did come out was that the been so inefficient that individual member states have been forced to go out on the road looking for alternatives and then looking at russia hungry for example has rights to from urgency you sputnik see we also heard last year in the czech republic showing an appetite for the russian frack scene so here we've got us out of one delay and buried by criticism humiliated by having to say sorry feeling the pressure what better way to divert attention from all the problems in your backyard than by fighting accusations of another country in fact let's remind ourselves of exactly what it was that she said over all arsonists. we still wonder why russia

is offering theoretically millions and millions of doses while not sufficiently progressing in vaccinating the own people this is also a question i think that should be answered but do along the lions concerns have any ground here i mean i understand this but think this is being read. in 29 countries already but what's the situation right here within russia well from the very get go as soon as russia became the 1st country in the wild to register 1000 francs and president putin said russians come fast they are our priority and this was something that was reiterated by the officials and brussels representatives of the russian authorities saying to fit community and business entities have repeatedly publicly stressed that vaccination of its own citizens constitutes an absolute priority for russia in its fight against kovi 19 in full compliance with the principles of democracy and human tarion law inoculation and russia's voluntary and to date all interested citizens are provided with the vaccine without delay and

free of charge without free accessibility is undeniably a seen success russia is in top 3 if you're a pin a chanson tums of vaccinations at last count 2200000 including many of our colleagues who described how smooth the process was you know they turned up they didn't have to book in advance they did their medical check they got fastow's on the 2nd dose then they went home and they were getting back to normal life at the same time we're seeing a very positive dynamic in terms of case numbers which a studly declining day on day. as in every single country not everyone is racing to go and get that job at least not quite yet and this discrepancy between internal and external to mind is something that moscow raised recently. we haven't had any reports about vaccine shortages and us domestic demand for this vaccine is still gathering momentum in moscow there's no deficits but we can see there's a huge demand as for demand for the russian vaccine abroad it is indeed high it's so high that he suppresses our production capacity that's why we are actively

working on quickly launching production of the russian vaccine in several foreign countries production in foreign countries will cover demand abroad while many factions inside the country will cover the domestic market so clearly that's the law. cool response to the lens quite hostile comments but here clearly throwing up political punch was more important than logic perhaps not surprising we obviously know that russian relations are going through a slightly bumpy potch moscow says it's for straighted by brussels consistently interfering and it's in tun france and it looks like here we might be seeing the same story instead of trying to resolve its own issues the e.u. is trying to deflect attention and undermining a country who's trying to offer a helping hand well this is just the latest in a long line of critical remarks coming from the european union. that's despite some countries in the blog voicing support for the job as the e.u. continues to face supplying shortages aunties and uncles selves to discuss the

issue with the spokeswoman for the russian foreign ministry. it's not that it's an experience our vaccine developments were denied by the west they said lots of different things that it does not exist it's bad and nobody should use it it was necessary to invent something very fast in order not to destroy the created myth that russia is an aggressor how can aggressors offer its facts into the world not without hiding it making it too expensive or blackmailing with it this is what their gresson would do instead we offered it as a tool as a method maybe not as a panacea but one of the means of overcoming the crisis in some ways it can be compared to space of course the scale is different but when you read the guardian went on his flight and when he returned what did the soviet union do it denounced that outer space is for peaceful exploration that what they used to saw proposed to the world city new trend in the direction the same with the vaccine we're open to

corporations we're ready to join production we're ready to study and share our experience some people from the west couldn't deal with it this is a blow and this is not envy this is a blow to the longstanding model of representing russia as an aggressor when the. countries in latin america continue to receive supplies of russia's sputnik via some western media outlets are paid to be drawn similarities between what they call the spread of the russian vaccine the cold war more on that story later in the program. the large protests continue in spain over the arrest of catalan rapper pablo herself who has been jailed for slandering the crown and glorifying terrorism. the musician was arrested on tuesday at the university of the 8 where he and his supporters have barricaded themselves inside hundreds of public figures have spoken

out in support of the artist while on this day international described his detention as an excessive restriction on his freedom of expression protests in support of the 32 year old has been taking place across the country resulting in riots and clashes with police. back in 2018 public his cell was convicted by a spanish court over tweets calling the full miking a quote mafia boss he also accused police of torturing and killing demonstrators and migrants herself fell foul of legislation covering spaniards his right to freedom of expression dubbed the guard globe by critics a court ruled spanish law prohibited such expressions of opinion probably less else a lawyer gives us his view on the matter is that. in this country the term glorification of terrorism has been used very easily to persecute political dissidents it's one of the countries where many artists have been given prison

terms and it's not nice and here we have other political and social problems i mean the pandemic the economic recession is a very important matter as young people have no future the state is very powerful and there are many types of violence that it's using to protect itself this is systematic and daily violence against those who lost their homes who have no homes as they don't have an income people are unhappy with this violence. campaign to boycott facebook is gaining momentum in australia that's off the tech giant blocked news posts on the platform in the country the australian government has criticised the move. i would decide of course this is a strike you're going to business here you work according to our rules but the idea of shutting down the sort of sorts i did yesterday as some sort of 3 i was trying to react to that and i thought that was a. not

a good move on the part of this morning so we'll see a way where those discussions go on we can find a pathway going forward yesterday's actions by face work were unnecessary they were heavy handed they've generated a very strong reaction here in a strike. well in addition to news posts facebook also blocks a number of key australian government pages including health departments emergency services and trade unions the company later commented on the issue saying these accounts had been inadvertently impacted and would be restored you know neal got the full saw guests on the story. although i don't like facebook by any means i also don't blame them for trying to put a stop to what i think is a very bad policy that in the end well only end up hurting smaller independent and perhaps even dissident sources in favor of a larger more establishment media sources these news organizations are disappearing that's really what's at stake and they really don't have any choice because they're

not generating the kind of revenues necessary to run these news desks content of which facebook reliance on it we have seen a whole cloth disruption of paid you know professional journalists guys that spent 30 years cutting their teeth and there are a lot of jobs because who's going to pay him $80.00 grand plus benefits to write a story when you can get to me on his you know no unfair a fight no real credentials in journalism typing out something and make more money on those clicks so the question is for democracy is what is the threshold where people deserve to have real information and should they have to pay for it should facebook profit on someone else's work without giving them some look you can understand facebook's desire not to give in and start paying for news stories like google did once the box opens there's $200.00 other countries surely saying we want

some to facebook what you do to their shareholders right if we start saying all right facebook will have to pay to feature news articles and news links what's stopping other forms of content from doing the same this whole social media i guess ecosystem has really spun out of control in terms of how it is monetize and actually a i think more equitable if i can use that word solution to this would be to start talking about ways to break up the monopoly that facebook does have on advertising and also on user data basically the biggest problem with facebook is that they're utterly controlling that narrative and they're completely shutting out news that doesn't obey the narrative miss and this goes for almost. every issue down the line that's of the importance today let's remember back in around 2007 i happen to be one of those lucky ones who interviewed this guy who started facebook he was a nobody was still on my space my space everywhere and he said that he wanted to create an ecosystem similar to a a well at the time if we all remembered dial up ale well it closed circuit

environment where all your dating your shopping your opinions and that basically people who weren't able to have real friends in life could have thousands of friends make believe friends and call them their friends and you would never have to leave that world and it would do everything for you well that dream has come true and now all of us are sitting in the middle of it going well wait a minute it's either all capitalism where anything goes and we can all charge for everything or it's part capitalism or it's something but we're at that time of growth now will we actually have to make the grown up decisions. point he organized to expensive and unsafe this is how some travelers returning to the u.k. have described the country's quarantine hotels the facilities what opens this week that people are rising from coronavirus hall spots now and of any measures childless returning from red list of countries have to quarantine in a hotel for 10 days it costs $1750.00 pounds per person or about

$2400.00 and an additional 650 pounds for a 2nd. shot he added reports from outside one of the hotels. foreign travelers and brits returning home from $33.00 reckless countries are now forced to isolate and government mandated hotels in the u.k. for 10 days it's all part of measures to curb the spread of the new coronavirus variants but not only are rivals like elaine and wagner confined to the 4 walls of a small hotel room they've also got to foot they have to bills and selves because. they want to know what we've got to be 2000 on it when you come back. you know money we spend a lot of money trying to come along the beach right now there are going to be a new rule how about i don't know i don't know yet but this couple to loan

many flights being canceled and departure dates change due to complications of the cave a 1000 pandemic and it's not just the financial burden that's weighing heavily other rivals tell me the party policy is no safer than isolating a home a plague take. home a. 5 year. old. believe me state i like. being a feature of the bringing it. all again. i watch one. currently the government has almost 5000 rooms available across 16 airport hotels with another 58000 on standby but as has been throughout the entire pandemic scotland has gone one step further by enforcing hotel currently measures on any international arrivals regardless of which country they arrive from even in exceptional circumstances we were due to.

us we know almost in. it's when scotland and joost managed team of late mr consul 'd just automatically wants the 16th and that's. when the rest if. you know can already have them along if you were going to england or if you were willing to get in the ring and ring haski because. it's just if you will be penalized for him oh you know you know we're not. just. feeling like captives thousands of arrivals have to wait before getting home to their families as. ever more anxiety it's all right and testing times charge out with dusting off 2 k. loans. still to come out millions in the southern states of america are left without water or electricity amid a deadly winter storm the publican texans received little sympathy on social media

now story and more after the break. measures human beings to change nature so i think you know the music yes i think is one of those lost there is that there's going to make people uneasy. why should we be forced to buy time just because major sites are not. supposed to be in your brain when are we going to choose this. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe.

tyson nation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallowness of. welcome back as countries in latin america continue to receive supplies of russia's a sputnik the some western media outlets appear to be touring similarities between what they call the spread to all the russian vaccine and the cold war here's artie's more accounts with more scrutiny v.

was born into disbelief than ridicule and jokes how could russia have done what the richest and the most democratic nations of the world couldn't finally came acceptance glitter but acceptance. and is the percent of. it was always politics it was never really about the vaccine if scrutiny came from france for example could you even imagine it would have attracted this much ridicule and scorn of course it would fortunately science prevailed and sputnik is saving lives in latin america. we're happy with the

signing of a very important contract for our country for our population for the believe in people because in this way the levy is among the countries among the many countries that today are making efforts to provide a way out and give the population certainty in the face of this pandemic lose interest in the you know money russia has extended to helping hand in solidarity to all of people a country attacked by imperial powers implicated country a criminal. the people who mock than derided spruit nick b. they haven't changed their minds that isn't what they do they still hate it they hate a vaccine just because it's russian but since they can no longer smear the vaccine as unsafe now they're trying to syria into the collective consciousness that it is a weapon a russian weapon a vaccine cold war the joke is right jus political vaccine that's too good to be

true and now you have to be a putin friend to place an order we will of course and the stat that it was and it is tabloid trash sell out pundits acting in special interests they're angry that the united states which has eluded a do over the americas north and south assumed all that it isn't the us riding latin america's rescue with a vaccine clutched in it's had and this is what we do and geopolitics you know the americans have the assistance with food to africa and it has labels of us say things like that's what we do this all the time and the vaccine is going to be a new way of this geopolitics in terms of getting of a bigger influence in the sphere of white america it's a game of chess if someone is winning that means the other side is losing so they feel bad day meeting maybe the western european union or the americas you know united states is losing. latin america because the russians are gaining latin

america which journalists seem to imply when running off to russia actually didn't see contrary to what their padley teach in us journalism schools latin americans aren't idiots and the perfectly capable of weighing their options so his flaws are and his sputnik. is twice as expensive roughly and very difficult to transport into store requiring deep freeze which is again expensive or is sputnik which can be kept at your regular kitchen fridge temperatures when we looked at the contracts we evaluated that the ones with pfizer did not comply with the legal protocols we expected we reached out to the russians and president fernandez related directly with putin and this sped things up we've heard for months now promises and calls from western politicians and leaders to stop buying out and who are doing all the

vaccines so far that is being merely wind poorer nations or to put their faith in coup vacs they were told that a mechanism to provide the developing world with enough jabs to inoculate 20 percent of their population free of charge a levy in colombia even got on the shortlist and guess what or a single dose as yet been delivered but you don't see politico raising a fuss about kovacs being too good to be true. a huge storm sweeping through the southern u.s. has killed at least 36 people and texas one of the hardest hit states millions of people are still facing water and power shortages freezing temperatures have caused water pipes to burst leaving millions of texans without access to access to clean running water locals have also been forced to stand in lines for food shops run low on supplies the texas governor has blamed the power grid operator for the massive

outages saying it failed to prepare for the storm the operator has stated this significant progress has been made in restoring power well meanwhile people online took the opportunity to look republican texans caught up in the storm kellett more pain reports at a time like this you would think that texans would be receiving lots of love and sympathy from their fellow americans but not this time some just don't seem to be able to forget that texas is red they say this is god's punishment for election denial i feel for the people suffering through this weather but god doesn't seem to like ted cruz will join courneya these 2 also never recognize to do a war if this isn't payback i don't know what he is a texas keep voting for officials who don't believe in climate change and supported privatization of the power grid maybe in 4 years you can vote for trump again he

believes in the latter but not the former perfect. isn't it great how the red states are the 1st to denounce the federal government and also the 1st one to start whining and crying for help from the fats when things go bad lead them freeze i say let them freeze with wanting to split away with us now they're begging for help their red states warm them up so here we have americans saying that americans deserve to freeze because they are trump's supporters and some find the whole thing up warry asli funny this is especially tough for texans because they're not equipped for snow they don't have snow shovels out there the best bet is to grab the air 15 to shoot each before it lands while this seems to be a shocking revelation of american solidarity many texans don't seem too happy with ted cruz their senator who's enjoying his vacation in cancun and maybe they're also devastated to hear that they're on their own from their mayor no one owes you will

your family anything nor is it the local government's responsibility to support you trying times like this sink or swim it's your choice the city and county along with power provide any of the service. nothing now that mayor has resigned that post has been deleted from social media but all of this has not made things easier for texans partisan mockery and mere celebration of the suffering of so many people in the lone star state seems to fly in the face of joe biden's claims that he's trying to reunify the country the nation is not divine do you go out there and take a look and talk to people you have fringes on both ends but it's not new is divided as we make it out to be and we have to bring it together as americans don't seem horrified by what's happening in texas but rather see it as some kind of cathartic revenge for their political opponents it seems that biden's promise of reunifying

the country is pretty far off caleb artsy new york well you can find plenty more of the latest stories on our website dot com and if you have something like to say them please do get in touch by following us on social media comments that went back at the top of their. the global markets approximately just under 2 trillion so certainly within a few months because it will be over so it's on its way and my believe in 2021 to get half way or so against the market capitalization of gold it would be 4 trillion on its way to 10 trillion and then you know once it gets past gold there's only dollars left.

seemed wrong oh well we just don't hold. any new gold yet to shape out these days becomes agitated and in the game equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart and we choose to look for common ground. visionaries me sophie shevardnadze and now if you were offered the chance to be. needed for our future would you go for it may sound like far fetched. but it

is to reality of real mix and i'm joined today by a glass more philosopher a future is something current events that are impressed. her life extension foundation. that's more a philosopher feature is to current embassador every president democrat is opera laugh extension foundation maxence really great tell you with us today welcome thank you so we go to be here all right so what topic look what amazes me about career preservation is that it looks more like putting death on halt rather than simply freezing that body can you explain how it works. yeah that's actually good so good truck description the basic idea is i want to be an allergy if you go back to my 960 and you were walking around with some people or i'm suddenly vote over and start reading not so beating but then we were subsistence that.
