the e.u. is a long down showdown brussels pressures reluctant members to open off the borders to get the blog back on the move but 6 states say that's being shot. across the atlantic cough a 1000000 american codes deaths on counting yet no mass vaccination in sight but despite the mortgage milestone president biden escapes the criticism previously loved what it donald trump's handling of the crisis. and that we have from a canadian man who received hundreds of death threats and felt fools to move after testing positive for coke at 90.

good to see this is our team to national live from moscow a warm welcome to our program. well stop herself this hour the e.u. is 6 member states to ease that covert control measures in particular bans on and trade and even countries that cools border tension and disrupt economies the commission has given the states 10 days to respond will the details peter all of us and belin. the e.u. commission currently at all do with 6 member states who have unilaterally put in place border restrictions of one type or and other in order to try and stop the spread of covert 19 whether that's the spread of the virus in general or the stop of the spread of mutated versions particularly here in germany that's been a top issue e.u. commission buying up though they're not happy with the situation the commission has been clearer to coordinate that approach among 27 member states we risk

fragmentation and disruptions to free movement into a supply chain is something we have witnessed again in the past 2 weeks. so who's on the naughty list belgium germany denmark hungry finland and sweden have all been given 10 days to provide a good reason why they put these restrictions on freedom of movement in place or to relax the restrictions that have been put there the e.u. commission's unlikely to win easily on this one we've heard from the german side who've defended their move these measures obviously put a massive strain on border regions commuters and the transport of goods and the single market but the protection of our citizens aspire amount finland has also issued a statement saying that yes they recognize this is far from ideal but they deem it necessary the recalcitrant member states of all received letters this week saying that they a means that they are trying to achieve can be reached through different means we

believe that the objective justifiably pursued by germany the protection of public health during the pandemic could be attained by less restrictive measures here in germany any travelers coming from the czech republic from slovakia or from the terrel region of austria we've got to provide on arrival at the border a negative covert test that resulted in these huge tailbacks of traffic causing real disruption on the border with germany brussels is essentially fighting a battle now with the member states over their. national interest they want to keep covert out of their countries but the e.u. has a duty as it sees it to keep freedom of movement going within the block and those 2 things coming together over this pandemic what has some of the reaction we've been

getting to all of us from our political commentators. in the eatery and. there were 4 kilometers to the line between some trucks in that are waiting to head to the front he told to house who have because. he wanted to hold trucks and to have a negative test i mean if we are inside a european union if we are inside a human where all the c c. i don't understand why there are subsidies be problems and if you want to be the united states of europe. there are sometimes planes is not the. correct way and that the e.u. is. that people have been living in europe and even you have a bit of a lead in. yes to distil. and then those with the british to be elections and

usually the elections and they will be those which. do you have been you know has a will in their lives including for this question. because you can disagree. you see what happens they do can do with their will they do the religious bullshit of god the guns will go unseen luganda hitting your little freedom with. meters and belgium's flanders region are accusing astra zeneca of leaving them nut on softer the farm notified them or would it be able to deliver an agreed number of covert shots the famished health minister the shortage and also took aim at madonna for today's internet for that job while currently there are 3 vaccines available to belgians madonna and the oxford astra zeneca job the country is also wanted more shots from other surprise which are still undergoing trials people wishing to get a job don't get to choose which one receive and they won't find out even until it's

about to be administered we asked people in brussels what they thought of that. we hear different criteria for different facts in this that one is better than the other and reports to that effect if people aren't informed and if the information is withheld i understand why some people are refusing to make their own choice it's understandable i think we don't know much where we are being given a little information but there are certainly people who are suspicious and the lack of information doesn't help. the situation is very strange as we don't know what we're doing and knock your way to it with if it's good or bad that's not the question it's not a problem for me but i can understand it's good that some people on the head of one brussels intensive care unit says not giving people a choice could adversely affect the vaccination program. then there's the action issues important but it's also a something you have to choose just selves and this is

a personal decision to move to the vaccination so therefore a thing that is quite important to get informed of the type of facts seen now to be considered over the last couple of weeks was the the information spread all over the media and even in the sentencing world question with her some boxes were more effective than other some books he's producing more reaction than others and therefore thing that the information spreads all over the community and therefore people are questioning whether they can select the type of oxy they want to choose for their future so it's understandable that people want to know exactly what they get for we noticing it is a rush towards getting those one vaccine but who the players are seen and many people question whether they would accept the other one meaning. as any kind of exene and therefore it seems that it's slowing the number of people getting being

vaccinated. us president joe biden has halted all sides on federal property to be flown hof last thoughts to mark to halt a 1000000 american deaths from kind of it but it's kind of more penn reports now meet you are still glowing and that praise for his approach to the pandemic despite that being very little difference to that of the previous administration america's death toll from covert 19 is now more than half a 1000000 that's more than world war 2 and vietnam combined biden marked the occasion with a solemn ceremony at the white house on monday has more lives lost to this virus than any other nation on earth. pressuring knowledge the scale of this mass death in america. remember each person in the life they lived on the campaign trail biden castigated donald trump for his mishandling of the pandemic he

promised that when he got into office he would turn things around he seems to have tempered expectations a bit as back in january he said he was powerless to change the trajectory of covert 19 and his anti co the defense has one key aspect where malice everyone would be mandated to wear a mask mask mandates mask up mask implant or mask for godsake. were masked if not for yourself or your loved ones while masks are proven to stop the spread of coded but is that it he's got the same advisor that trump had doctor now says will probably be wearing masks until 2022 do you think americans will still be wearing masks for example and 20 twentieth's. you know i think it is possible that that's the case many hope that under biden massive vaccinations might save the day but so far it does not look that way the next few months masks.

are the best defense against kuwait 90 biden even visited a farm a facility to show he's got a handle on things however he says that vaccines won't be available to everyone until mid-summer we're now on track to have enough vaccine supply for all of us by the end of july seems like the amount of time donald trump that it took the chubby ministration to develop this vaccine which is record time now the by the ministration say says that will take just as much time in order to have enough doses and had since november to start planning his approach to quit what did he do what did he spend november december january doing well he had a stack of executive orders waiting on his desk to sign it seems bizarre because we know that there are millions upon. millions of doses already out there perhaps he's just lowering expectations now you might think that mainstream media would now lash out on biden just like they did on his predecessor remember when all the covert

deaths were being blamed on donald trump but think again we see with president biden he's demonstrated to the country what a difference. the change of presidents has made president biden is confronting this enormous loss directly and publicly help americans heal on any front that something could show biden is uniquely qualified to do as a joe biden giving america a message tonight them and one i think that only this president president could give not the former one but seems that joe biden is being judged by a different set of standards deaths are rising but he is not catching any flak oh well i guess we should all just get used to wearing masks for another year but major media isn't demanding the rollout 'd be sooner because there are guys in office and business a media that said a vaccine would be impossible to get out in 2020 and made that happen and instead of the media focusing on what's happening with the bye to mr ration and the

vaccinations instead we're seeing stories about joe biden's dog and we're seeing stories about him playing video games with his grandchildren if donald trump was playing video games with his grandchildren at camp david it would be a national scandal 'd and they would say he has graham was blood on his hands of course and joe biden's read that he could play video games with his grandchildren at camp david and say that it's going to be til the end of july until we have another vaccinations you're the president united states make it happen that's what plenty of americans are asking but of course the media isn't asking that because it's their guy and they're going to protect him and they're going to do their brand of meat bad journalism and it's all going to be fluff and softball and human interest stories for the next you know 3 and a half years. security official. holes in charge when riots as strong the u.s. capitol have been given evidence of the senate's fast public hearings and what happened on the 6th but the party major inconsistency is in that testimony house

they blamed the agency is on the job for various shortcomings it also seems that was no contingency for such an attack and the hearing so far has left well more questions than answers police officers were not trained on how to respond to an infiltration of the capitol building is that correct mr. when you talk about infiltration you talk about a large insurrection like we saw on the january 6th no anyone from the department of homeland security contact you about a potential national special security event designation no i am not aware of anybody from a d h s reaching out no. i think in this day with me senator no contact with me or my office are all capitol police officers out there with riot gear no they're not. well on january the 6th let's recap

a huge crowd of most any support to storm the capitol building the rioters were angry with the results of the 2020 lection claimed the presidency had been stolen and that trump had in fact won the mob faced little resistance from security. well done you walk out of this from the wrong pool piece institute think senate herring's hold little find you in this kind of case. fastening these kinds of

hearings within congress is going to produce very little of any value of that usually involved in covering things up rather than getting to the bottom of things let's not forget from the beginning that the persons in charge of security ultimately on capitol hill are the speaker of the house nancy pelosi and then senate majority leader you have a situation where they are all to me in charge and it goes downhill from there it goes to the sergeant at arms on either side and then down to the capitol police chief what we saw in the hearings the other day is that the capitol police chief said that he. urged the sergeant at arms at the house and senate side 2 days before the event to call in the national guard to be prepared that was denied by the sergeant at arms who by the way both been fired so there's a real discrepancy did they see this coming is it just unusual government incompetence in the agencies that we dump billions of dollars into or is there something else to put if there is something else or put guarantee these hearings

will not bring it out. this is still to come as if getting sick with the fed was about it's not far off to the break we meet a canadian man who says he was false to me after the this side of the country because of death threats when he tested positive stay with us. energy the avalanche is stored on the side of the mountain. when just going stealthily to release that catastrophic energy so here you have the energy of hyperinflation is already stored in the system it's already there in the form of the stats balance sheet that got trillions and trillions of trillions of paper that is going to come out in a swamp and suddenly this up. globally and suddenly purchasing power and confidence

of the currency collapses and you have a hyper inflation. seems wrong. just don't call. me. yet to see. this day come out to. end in detroit equals betrayal. when something you find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground . welcome back now one of canada's covert victims has warned that the stepmother touch to the disease is stopping many people from coming forward if they have symptoms cortland krunk received hundreds of death threats after it was revealed he

caught the virus a lot of people are so rude about having cobra not because of it's going to harm them but it's because they're worried of what the you know the population around them will think when you shame somebody and when you have this big stigma on people for having called it a lot of people who are sick you know that might have a sniffle or a sore throat or something they don't bother going to get tested because they they feel like they're going to be shamed so or shunned and so a lot of people end up hiding their symptoms that's an issue because then you're not getting a true number on cases and and you know you have people going around spreading the virus not knowingly the they have the virus because they're too worried about what people might think that they have the virus well he began getting hundreds of death threats a day off to being infected not topa with people blaming him on social media for the subsequent public restrictions they abuse even made him feel that he had to move to the outside of the country. people attacked me for no reason in new

brunswick that's my hometown that's where i'm from there's a video that was on october 31st of me saying that i can taste or smell anything and the backgrounds for a kind of the you tube video on this so that you know creates allergies where i can't taste her mind you know my nose gets blocked up and and that's what i was relating it to and that's why the 2nd day i booked a task like waited still there you know it could be covert i have to go to the states so i'm just going to double check i'm pretty sure it's not because my spouse days prior tested negative for covert $191.00 of the guys that i was on the trip with who came home early from calgary he tested also negative for quote 19 which he actually had symptoms so i was like ok there's probably a very slim chance that i have over 1000 and when i was traveling from calgary back to new brunswick i was considered an essential worker so we were required to isolate and i didn't have symptoms at that time my symptoms didn't come to 31st and i was coming back to new brunswick on the 24th of october. russia segment of the international space station has started showing signs of age

repairs are underway to fix 6 cracks that have appeared in the 2 decades old watchful thinking well according to the russian space agency ross caused all the branches have been temporarily sealed but far the investigation is needed it. has dropped inside the orbiting station but it's far from up. we spoke to a cosmonaut about what these next could mean for the future of the us. vs the grex of existence for some time now this is been long known and talked about to my mind that poses no threat to the team and flight security at least for now but this is an alarming sign it shows that the station has been functioning to you and it so is under extreme conditions there's such a thing as metal fatigue and principle we can expect these inconveniences to repeat i'll give you an example this. goes round the earth every 90 minutes so roughly

speaking every 45 minutes it's an shadow where it's minus 150 degrees celsius and for the next 45 minutes the station is exposed to the sun but the temperature gets much higher to over 100 degrees so just imagine for 22 years 16 cycles a day 6 temperature fluctuations will affect the shell after 20 years and any kind of metal would get tired when it comes to talk of renewing the station maybe not change it completely but possibly it is running out of its resource in some aspects it was designed for short term and the management team and all the countries involved understand that and that's why there are thoughts about how to proceed. as there are has been forced to shut its shares after an oil spill that's been described as one of the most disastrous and the country's history experts are still assessing the damage but it is expected to take decades to clean up.

the british and american governments have often been accused of destroying lives in their own interest or use. in this these techniques is the state devising methods to him to essentially destroy the personality of an individual. by scientific means this is how one doctor his theories were allegedly used in psychological warfare against prisoners deemed a danger to the state that was the foundation for the method of psychological interrogation psychological torture of the cia disseminated from within the u.s. intelligence community and worldwide among our allies for the next 30 years bento the victims say they still live with the consequences today.
