to take an action absolutely. machine this is a money machine is a huge cash register that is ran by people who don't care about people's lives. the european council president of accuses britain of vaccine nationalism sparking a fresh supply route with critics pointing out the e.u. itself stands accused of exactly the same claims. also in the headlines on this wednesday cover ups failure. lawyer. people. in the government. many of the families do believe their loved ones did. not everyone in the launch. system. claiming it was spying on

a russian opposition figure. very warm welcome to you from all of us here at the international in moscow. european council president charles has accused of exporting vaccine supply but some a crying hypocrisy pointing out the e.u. may also be guilty of the very same offense that's why you're a correspondent joining us here on the program good to see you peter can you tell us more it's the u.k. accepting the blame on this. well we wondered what the relationship post break that was going to be like between london and brussels the u.k. in the e.u.
6:02 am
the pandemics meant we've got to see that speeded up faster than real time and it looks pretty messy from here on out at the moment the latest incident involves e.u. council president child michel he put out a statement and what she seemed to accuse the united kingdom of having an outright ban on exports in any covert vaccines that among your faction and u.k. territory. i am shocked when i hear the accusations of vaccination elysium against the e.u. the u.k. and the us have imposed an outright ban on the export of vaccines or vaccinate components produced on their territory but the e.u. has never stopped exporting the thing is the u.k. says they haven't got any such ban in place whatsoever the u.k. foreign secretary dominic robb rejected both claims and says that he's written to shell michelle for clarification on the e.u. council president's comments the british government has never blocked the exposed to a single vaccine any references to a u.k.
6:03 am
export ban or any restrictions on vaccines are completely false. or clarification may well be needed because later on tuesday evening after having made those comments show michelle then sent out a tweet always a good way to clear everything up and not lead to any misunderstanding at all in that tweet mr michel didn't repeat the accusations against the united kingdom he also didn't retract them in any way whatsoever what he seemed to do was say that by putting out that statement earlier on it now pushed the united kingdom to be more transparent when it comes to how they're going to talk about covert vaccines that has resulted in well as you'd imagine quite a few conservative party ministers politicians from the united kingdom being very unhappy on all of the radio and t.v. channels in the united kingdom this morning regarding the comments from mr michel but the situation we have essentially is if we keep referring it back to being a divorce or
6:04 am
a break up you've got one side doing better than the other when it comes to vaccines the united kingdom has vaccinated just under 35 percent of its population or at least given them warning shots of the vaccine the e.u. by comparison just under 10 percent of the population has received one shot of the vaccine and this isn't the 1st clash of heads we've seen between london and brussels over vaccines this year back in january there was another class where the e.u. for at least a short period anyway was set to impose controls on vaccines being imported into northern ireland which is a part of the united kingdom that was late to retract it but what we're hearing is while these comments are flying backwards and forwards accusations counter-accusations the message from sharma shell which is right in all of this is when he says that nobody is safe from covert until everyone is safe from covert
6:05 am
until nobody is vaccinated really till everybody's vaccinated but that isn't stopping a continuation of this vaccine nationalism we're seeing continuing on doesn't look like it's going anywhere anytime soon either. our europe correspondent peter all of us thank you for. legal and medical professionals have accused the british government of refusing to probe chronic failures in his handling of the pandemic and of a range now their own public covert inquiry it comes as the number of new u.k. covert cases passes 4200000 including more than 40000 care home deaths and hundreds of health care workers top lawyer michael mansfield q c chairs the inquiry and says countless deaths will simply put could have been avoided. people's inquiry is the 1st inquiry of any kind that is taking place in to covert pandemic and the handling of it by the government right now the public want art and
6:06 am
service particularly the bereaved of which there are thousands unfortunately but others who are the relatives of plainly the relatives of those who fortunately haven't died also have questions because of the being a lot of hospitalizations as well and it's no use waiting we need the answers now and they can be provided people have a very strong views about what should have happened in the 1st place and what is continuing not to happen many of the families do believe that their loved ones did die needlessly not everyone obviously but a large number particularly those who work on the front line who've been susceptible and everybody knows that it's being alleging from crisis to crisis that's no way to do it and so we need to know now because it's not going to be over in june the lockdown may be eased by then but of course the virus it still self
6:07 am
will still be present somewhere in our region. and with a number of u.k. covert deaths passing 125000 now one woman has come forward asking for her father to be recognized as the country's 1st victim adding it raises questions about what the government might have done differently. we just saw remember him as a as a loving father as a lot of our he was a lovely man he would have done anything for you and we can't. understand but we need to learn some serious lessons from this so this doesn't happen again back in january 20 2083 year old peter tork passed away long before cave it became a national diagram and when the concern was limited mostly to china the only just come about in china so we we were told you know without a shadow of doubt it was not in this country at the time so there was no why it was on our radar at the time the tipping point for me i think was the inability to get
6:08 am
off the oxygen he struggled so much as time went by and we knew more more about cars and we saw these patients in hospital with the. public health experts claim peter afterwards case lays bare the case failure to monitor the virus in its early stages and that there may have been many more deaths in the early months of 2020 than was 1st thought the 1st covert death in the u.k. was recorded on the 5th of march of 2020 weeks before the government succumbed to lockdown on the 23rd of march by that time the pandemic had already sunk its teeth into the country but jane's father passed on the 30th of january of 2020 and that was only days after the city of rwanda where the 1st case of credit were detected went into lockdown she is now calling for the world health organization and the n.h.s. to publicly recognise the historical significance of her father's passing as the u.k.'s 1st private fatality just through that he should go down in history as the
6:09 am
part of history now isn't there you know it doesn't matter what you read in the books you know there's always that 1st person and i think it's really you have to remember well 2020. 19 will go down in history as being totally unknown president jane so it's not just about her father's. legacy but about correcting the official records but the government says there was little transmission present at the time of peter. every death is a tragedy there is no evidence that there was sustained transmission within the community in january 2020 we acted swiftly to curb coronavirus and at all times we have been guided by the best available evidence to deliver a strategy designed to protect the n.h.s. and save lives put chained questions still remain unanswered about what actually happened and if anything would have been different had the government acted sooner to the country. so i'm past the hour here in moscow our german sister
6:10 am
channel r.t. daughter has filed a lawsuit against the build tabloid for claiming it's reporting was actually spying for the kremlin and my colleagues saskia taylor and cavanaugh and discuss the details here in the studio just a bit earlier. well on the face of it this is a sensational story it's got all the things to joran to read you know the word spy public enemy number one of course russia but unfortunately scribe just a little bit at the sophos and not sensation starts to fall apart so basically done your. employee claiming that essentially he was used as a spy and by the channel that all the info that he was gathering on kremlin critic aleksei involved while she was of course recuperating from an alleged poisoning in a clinic in berlin was being put straight into the hands of russian president vladimir putin's sensational right while unfortunately the evidence provided seems to be taken more from a manual called someone
6:11 am
a one and not spying so as proof. screenshots of a chart with his editors now from my experience on any assignment you always have these chats it's common practice it's an easy way for producers and editors and cameraman to coordinate and that also from my experience very boring it's pretty much just the logistics in that but despite what daniel claims his charge too was also very boring so yes he was indeed asked to go into the shower clinic it's called doing investigative journalism it's called trying to get ahead of the other media outlets to get that unique scoop and in fact build was one of the most active moles inside this hospital. reminds us to accuse us of spying and at the same time to post images of every little step novelli makes including pictures of his garden to host to word it fresh in intelligence wanted to get any additional information they would buy a subscription to build clocks and of course we want to remind our colleagues of
6:12 am
german that just lation that for now at least protects the media and lowing it to collect information and metis that are considered to be of public interest so when bill does that it's normal journalistic practice trying to get the latest on a developing story when our t. does that it's spying i think a tinge of. hypocrisy that this claim that this working child was filled with nefarious spying request is also undermined by the fact that when he queries we're getting a hidden camera recording of the inside of the war which was on military territory is appropriate his boss very clearly writes no i don't think so it's in writing so not exactly the most determined of spies i would also add evidence number 2 is the presence of a video agency ruptly parked outside the shower take clinic yes this is true for a period it was actually in fact live streamed on you tube in the same way our tireless cameramen were camped night and day outside the ecuadorian embassy in
6:13 am
london and they were the ones to capture those pictures the only ones there were 24 serving exactly this sensational moment understand it was dragged out of the building. as you said the only ones to get the pictures media outlets all over the world were buying them they had no problem then with exceptional journalism but now apparently there is one final damning allegation mentioning it's how the r t employee managing. was photographed alongside russian foreign minister. of arctic public christmas party never mind that this was one of hundreds of photos taken never mind that there were hundreds including foreign journalists at this one photo is in controvert to pull proof that. the russian government are in cahoots so like i said seems sensational take a look at this very little meat and it's only. the. global
6:14 am
regional national channels around the world now and there's a new one opening up. just in the back of my head is there any. connection well you really have to decide whether you believe in coincidence here because yes not long ago and now there will be setting up a channel in germany shortly after the. a couple of problems started well 1st off headlines appeared which could be considered a small smear campaign than last week which is bank accounts were shot in job many fast forward to this week and apparently all to do it is a crime and spy so like i said really depends whether you believe in a coincidence for. the woman to a chimp for you who was so damning to be photographed with such a lot for off does not seem to me today as a clear attempt to see this is an attempt as is being constrained to be that i was going to was standing. in the median as have returned against me and to where the
6:15 am
fools allegations and suppress the knowledge of the sitting freedoms and making powers more attacks this is what it means to be an alternative voice in germany and as a final point i think it is worth mention that bill doesn't necessarily have the best track record between 20152028 was hit with 72 reprimands by the media regulator that is more than any other outlet and it was a thought of the total in that period so it's something to bear in mind when one jumps ahead fast into this latest offering from the top lawyer a top lawyer seemingly offers up here a juicy spy story but in reality is just i'm covering the day to day walkies of any john list anywhere in the world so if you're the program here what are the leaks letter reveals that washington wants the afghan government to share power with an enemy it's been fighting for decades that is in a big mix of stories just a moment we're back right after
6:16 am
a short break. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. is you'll media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. what is true what is faith.
6:17 am
in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. aura maybe in the shallows. but it's good to have you with us for the program today here on r.t. french medical workers have sounded the alarm as. treatments being slashed amid a wiring rise in coronavirus deaths. of hospital beds is our correspondent charlatans. hospitals in the paris region know once again preparing to be overwhelmed by couvade cases with nearly all i.c.u. beds filled the authorities in the force of all the hospitals to slash all known
6:18 am
coding procedures by 40 percent this is a very tense situation we needed to react very fast of course froze the country now has the highest number of intensive care patients seen since november during the 2nd wave of the virus for those who work in hospitals the situation is more than 10 . do you need more hospital beds hospitals are closing and there are thousands of bass that have been lost it's unacceptable and we have demanded a real adjustment of our salaries and generally of our profession there has been no difference on the ground since june the rest to people who are quitting the hospitals perhaps it's time to ask the question as to why health care workers are stepping down and take a fact of measures in order to convince them to state we see the reason awareness but it's only facade because in reality there is no understanding of the gravity of the dangerous situation that we are in what is different though this time around is
6:19 am
that more of the patients in intensive care said to be from younger age groups the ones haven't yet had access to a vaccine the government has relied on a road campaign to make a dent in infections to sticks however the vaccination program has been heavily criticized for it slow progress now french doctors are up in all most of the being told that they'll have no vaccine deliveries of astra zeneca for a week instead the jobs will be sent to follow missy's the government has decided to exclude doctors and. pharmacists but does imagine that increasing the numbers of vaccination size will increase the doses meanwhile measures taken to try and curb cases. still appeared to be insufficient france has been under nightly curfew for months now and over the last few weeks more and more regions have been placed into weekend lockdowns so far paris has a void that fate but for how much longer i think the french people have had enough
6:20 am
and that it would not be so effective they have been obedient and they are fed up. concern and locked down for the weekend i hope not but all these measures and please not to mention the curfew it gets complicated we cannot do much if in addition to that we introduce lockdown and we can't make it even more complicated anyway should we really have no choice will have to go through we don't know exactly the reason why sometimes we are in lockdown and sometimes we aren't and i think that the top authorities are facing other problems that they have failed to resolve but if there is not a lockdown we will suffer according to france's director general of health still a foregone conclusion to new york to daniel this measure of last resort would be offered to the government if we had the impression that the hospital could not hold out we are in a tense situation and we are monitoring the situation day by day yet it's clear tough decisions will have to be made in the coming days and hours jollity vinci
6:21 am
r.t. paris. residents have given a mixed response after plain clothes officers began patrolling the streets of the belgian capital to stop a shocking rise in sexual harassment cases the measure follows a women complaining they now fear leaving their homes over the growth in sexual assaults brussels police say they hope to catch assailants in the act as a tax are rarely reported by victims one women's rights activist welcomed the news . i'm totally in favor of this idea because finally we are seeing you know this police went to court and asked for it to end a budget into this you know horrible emergency that is violence and harassment against women finally we men have a voice and they're speaking loud and they're saying you know no i don't accept
6:22 am
harassment i don't accept to buy and you know this isn't justice we need to change and our politicians they're finally listening to this voices and that's why they need it to get a budget a big one in order to tackle this problem and find all the best solutions like this one trolling the streets in order to help women however it turns out trusting the police is so low that some residents fear officers more than the threat of assault . i don't feel safe around police i see police as a grasses and violent people and repressive rather than people that protect me. i prefer the police and gentrified themselves as officers that's clear for me i don't want police dressed like civilians. police play an important role but we should find a way to communicate with the police won't be there when you really need them. i don't think it's a good idea because there's a lot of. for sure when this
6:23 am
policeman is you know from. the women's rights activist we heard from just a moment ago warns that the root of the problem actually goes far. so we need to not only to repress and this is good to protect our oppressed but we should also think about programs that prevent these problems to happen and that's why we need education when indication of for our children for our boys and our girth and we do cation of for immigrants who come to our countries especially if they come from kountry where they don't respect women as we do in the western countries we need to be all engaged more to tackle this problem because women's rights are human rights and in 2021 we should and one central violence against women. the u.s. is urging the afghan government to share power with the taliban the revelation
6:24 am
coming from a leaked u.s. letter to kabul and what's being described as a last ditch effort before a deadline for the pentagon to quit the country. and reports it's america's longest war ever remember why the troops were 1st send into afghanistan to remove the taliban regime the taliban has been given the opportunity to surrender all the terrorists in afghanistan and to close down their camps and operations full warning has been given and time is running out the united states military has begun strikes against al qaeda terrorist training camps and military installations of the taliban regime in afghanistan this military action is a part of our campaign against terrorism.
6:25 am
the past 2 administrations have promised to find an exit strategy our troops will continue coming. home at a steady pace by 2014 this process of transition will be complete and the afghan people will be responsible for their own security we will in this war bring our troops home and by the end of next year america's war in afghanistan will be over trumped up pretty close even promising to set a withdrawal date we should have the small remaining brave men and women serving in afghanistan home by christmas and have a moment at the end of the year joe biden seems to have come up with a new solution peaceful coexistence between the afghan government and the taliban a proposal that was leaked to the media would give america's longtime battlefield enemies significant control over the country now the taliban would get 50 percent
6:26 am
representation in key executive bodies that would enable them to propose new legislation and help write the new constitution however the afghan government would get one extra member so they could be the deciding vote in exchange the taliban would agree to a total ceasefire and join the new military panel essentially being absorbed into the security forces of the country the taliban will cut any ties with foreign powers and quote not expand their force configurations or recruit new fighters in the linkletter the new u.s. secretary of state anthony blinken urged the afghan government to just accept this agreement i urge you to develop constructive positions on these written proposals many are currently anticipating yet another spring offensive more deaths and more killing however at this point it appears the united states is willing to hand power back to the very people they've been fighting for the past 20 years the proposed
6:27 am
agreement has gotten a mixed reaction from afghan officials they can make a decision on their troops not on the people of afghanistan but will never accept the coerced and imposed peace. the weakness in the message of the u.s. state department is that they have not recognized afghanistan structure and it has coercive language and a coerced and tailored piece will not lead anywhere i think that if there is any lesson to be learned here it is never do anything like this ever again stop trying to overthrow governments in venezuela and elsewhere around the world immediately you this is a tragedy however it plays out however long the troops remain for the people of afghanistan most of whom are very poorly represented by either the afghan government or the taliban and this deal could have been had over 90 years ago with a lot of people still alive and trillions of dollars on spent so the obvious number
6:28 am
one lesson is never ever do this sort of thing it is immoral and it is criminal now in the past 20 years the war in afghanistan has looked pretty on winnable but it appears the new administration and the u.s. state department may have crafted the least painful way to bow out caleb mop and r.t. new york are that just about wraps up the stories for this hour here on r.t. international though we're back in about a 32 minutes with more of your worldwide international television news headlines. when ellen so seems wrong. why don't we all just don't hold. any world yet to see her out this day come after her. and endangered. the trail. once again and find themselves worlds apart we just

a look for common ground. the world is driven by. the dares thinks. we dare to ask. some control for a middle class to who most of the night most of them are very hardworking people who want to get ahead that is either have some some health issues or have some of how this trick about luck a full time job won't always pay for

a place to live and missing just a month's rent can get she will victim to gunpoint if anything bad happens to any thing that just throws your budget off slightly. you better catch up real quick or you're going to have a judgment of possession against you and get addicted anyone that's homeless is treated like garbage people look at you like a monster or someone bad or you chose to be there most of the time it's not the case see how it is to be pole in the world's richest country. or tactics that can be used to get innocent people to confess to crimes they didn't commit i don't even think people in the us really get that the police are allowed to lie to the person who falsely confessed actually came to believe the lie that they were told about their own behavior once a false confession is taken the case is closed and nobody really can tell the difference between a good confession and one that isn't.
