the e.u. along down showdown brussels pressures reluctant members to open up the borders to get the block back on the move but 6 states say that staying shot. across the atlantic call for a 1000000 american covert deaths and counting yet no mass vaccination in sight but despite the morbid milestone president biden escapes the criticism previously leveled at donald trump's handling of the crisis. and relief here from a canadian man who received hundreds of death threats and felt forced to move after testing positive for coke at 19.

this is an international live 247 from the russian capital flow while he joined us . our 1st story this hour the. 6 member states to ease the codes of control measures and particular bans on entering or leaving countries that cause border tension and disrupt economies the commission has given the states 10 days to respond with all the details has peeta all of us from berlin. 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 the aims 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 tirol 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 well this is some of the reaction we've

been getting to this from political commentators. in the eatery and. there are 4 kilometers a line between some trucks is that are waiting to head to the front he tell you to house to have because i. wanted to hold the prices to have a negative test i mean if we are inside a european union if we are inside the euro where all the c c. i don't understand why there are subsidies be drawn to so many if you want to be united states europe. sometimes explains is not the. correct way. that the e.u. is. that people have been living in europe it will have been even you will get all of the leading hockey teams yes to distil. and those with the british to be

elections and if they do elections and they will be those how much the battle do you have been you know how as well their lives including for this question how the decision. goes you can. see what happens when they do can do with their will they do this. shit of god the guns will do their own seeing so you can do anything little freedom with. meters and belgians flanders region or accusing astra zeneca of leaving them in the lurch after the fog notified them it wouldn't be able to deliver an agreed number of covert shots the flemish health minister lamented the shortage and also took aim at medinah for delays and delivering that chop well currently there are 3 vaccines available to belgians madonna and the oxford astra zeneca job the country's also ordered more shots from other supplies which are still undergoing trials people wishing to get a job don't get to choose what they'll receive and they won't find out until it's

about to be administered we asked people in brussels what they thought of that. we hear different criteria for different vaccines that one is better than the other and reports to that effect if people aren't important and if the information is withheld i understand why some people are refusing to make their own choice and distended 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 that we don't know what we're doing and lock your way to if it's good or bad that's another question it's not a problem for me but i can understand it could deter some people he had of one brussels intensive care unit so as not giving people the choice could adversely affect the belgian vaccination program. they need the ducks in 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 seems 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 box seats were more effective than others some books he's producing more reaction than others and they're sure 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 uk scene and therefore it seems that it's slowing the number of people getting being vaccinated. u.s.

president joe biden has halted flags on federal property to be flown at hof lost to malta to halt a 1000000 american deaths and because it was kind of more than our ports need to bastogne blowing in that price to his approach to pandemic despite that being very little to france to that the previous administration america's death toll from covert $19.00 is now more than half a 1000000 that's more than world war 2 and vietnam combined abiding marked the occasion with a solemn ceremony at the white house on monday as 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 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 it did 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 maleness everyone be mandated to wear a mask mask mandates mask mask in plain mask for god's sake. word mask if not for yourself for your loved ones well masks are proven to stop the spread of coded but is that it he's got the same advisor that trump had dr felt she now says will probably be wearing masks until 2022 do you think americans will still be wearing masks for example and 2020. 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 in the next few months masks. are the best defense against kuvin 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 our work by the end of july seems like the amount of time that 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 biden has 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 good so biden is uniquely qualified to do resident joe biden giving america a message tonight them and one i think the only this president president could give not the former one 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 the man. the role 'd of the suitor because there are guys in office this is 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 and so we have another vaccinations for 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 officials in charge one right to stone the u.s. capitol have been giving evidence out the senate's fast public hearings into what happened on china at the sec but that wire party major inconsistency in that testimony as they blamed all the agencies on for various shortcomings and also

seems that was no contingency attack the herring so far has left more questions than answers police officers were not trained on how to respond to an infiltration of the capitol building. is that correct mr santo when you talk about infiltration you talk about a large insurrection like we saw in the january 6 know anyone from the department of homeland security contact you about a potential national special security event designation no i'm not aware of anybody from a d h s reaching out no lo and contacted me thank you and stay with me senator no contact at all with me or my office are all capitol police officers out there with riot gear no they're not sir on january the 6th a huge crowd of most troubling supporters storms the capitol building the riots as

well angry with the results of the 2020 lection claims the president so have been stolen and that trump has in fact won the mob faced little resistance from security . daniel mcadams from the ron paul peace institute thinks senate hearings hold a little find you and this kind of case. i think it is fastening these kinds of hearings with in congress are going to produce very little of any value of their

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 sergeants 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 the not i 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 afoot if there is something else or put guarantee these hearings will not bring it out while still ahead here on t.v.

as if getting sick with clive and lots of data now 5 to the break lead me to canadian man this as he was forced to move to the other side of the country because of death threats when he tested positive sentiment. joining me. on the alex island chill and i was speaking to get us out of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. is you'll be a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe.

isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or unmaidenly shallowness. welcome back now one of canada's covert victims house warned that the stigma attached to the disease is stopping many people from coming forward if they have symptoms cortlandt krunk received hundreds of death threats after it was revealed he had caught the virus. a lot of people are so right about having kobe not because of it's going to harm them but it's because they're worried of what the 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 when he began getting hundreds of death threats a day after being infected not talk about with people blaming him on social media for the subsequent public restrictions the abuse even made him feel that he had to move to the other side 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 couldn't taste or smell anything and the background story kind of

a you tube video on this so. 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 is like wait it's 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 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 module that is

leaking now according to the russian space agency was called small so all the branches have been temporarily sealed but further investigation is needed pressure has dropped inside the orbiting station but it's far from out and much in sea levels we spoke to a cosmonauts about what these leaks could mean for the future of the. yes the grags have existed for some time now this is been long known and talked about to my mind they pose 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 for 20 years and it sells under extreme conditions there's such a thing as metal fatigue and in principle we can expect these inconveniences to repeat i'll give you an example the station goes round the earth every 90 minutes so roughly speaking every 45 minutes it's and 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 such 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 raul has been forced to shut its beaches after an oil spill that's been described as one of the most disastrous in the country's history experts are still assessing the damage but it is expected to take decades to clean up. this.
