247 news live from moscow this is our company. easter weekend in europe but things aren't looking too fast that germany introduced a strict time curfews in several states. public spaces to slow the spread of the coronavirus this comes as some other states the partial closure of vaccination centers for the next number of days. can tell us more. after an agonizingly slow start to the vaccination campaign it was supposed to be following only picking up speed effects innocently completing this from the fact the nation is a national priority there's no bank holiday there's no weekends vaccination so we must

all vaccination centers that are open across the country fully vaccinated the cool came as the world health organization criticised europe's vaccine rollout this being fully inadequate vaccines present our best way of this pandemic however the rollout of these vaccines is an acceptably slow we must speed up the process by ramping up manufacturing reducing barriers to administering vaccines and using every single vial we haven't stuck now but as europe celebrates the spring holidays the inoculation rate at least in some regions is actually growing thing to a standstill in madrid spain vaccinations have actually been a poultry for 4 days the plan is to allow medical staff to rest but that's in direct opposition to calls from the country's health minister who has demanded that they keep the ruling out that jobs now in germany to some states are shutting up

shop prompting anger and mockery at the sluggish rollout. some vaccination centers in germany are going to be shot over the easter weekend but that's ok because it's not like this is an emergency or anything german leaders pummeled by press for this because everyone knows covered 900 takes the holidays off. if it doesn't have holidays we're still recovering from the ludicrous christmas meetup and that the usual stereotype of an efficiency took even more of a battering as chancellor angela merkel flip flopped over the idea of extending the restrictions instead she's urging for a bit of rest. so what does this mean for the next few days it means 1st and foremost that it should be what easter one in a small circle with a very reduced context. to refrain from all non urgent travel and all consistent

all the rules here in france is a a new nationwide lockdown begins many are getting ready to obscure and old with the city's sort of weekend truce is being allowed for people to get away for the break but the 2 came with this warning to either you go weeks or you do not go but the boy was hoping to take advantage of the noise so whether with tourist quencher he was where drinking alcohol outside in public spaces or even the parks has become the latest spoke. it's no longer allowed tighter controls will also be in place with authorities clamping down on groups of more than 6 measures put in place as france struggles to get a grip on rising infection rates for many in europe it was hoped that this weekend would be a bit of a break from the monotony of prove it instead the virus continues to be the biggest

party pooper in. so let's even ski party paris. in the hard hit parade. doctors are struggling to find enough intensive care beds for patients. but we are being overwhelmed with cases serious cases are intensive care unit is one. most full the flow of patients increases every day there are more covert positive tests and negative situations graham. said is the purchase region in mainland france 800 coronavirus cases per 100000 people more than twice the national average there have also been reports that teachers are walking out due to the high number of infections in schools. meanwhile yet another lockdown gathering in a park in the belgian capital has been dispersed by mounted police.

water cannon was also on leash to put on the events while riot officers broke up groups of strikers in the name of social distancing 3 days ago and in brussels turned out for what was billed as an anti lockdown contoured the big gig itself turned out to be an april fool's joke by all non-profits troops. out of a prominent psychiatrist who has been detained in serbia for allegedly spreading propaganda knew of stoke a bitch who also leads a small right wing party is one of several people being questioned in a government crackdown officials accuse them of creating fear in public and putting lives at risk all the perpetrators of criminal acts must be dealt with especially when they threaten public health. well serbia has the 3rd highest vaccination rate in europe with more than 2300000 citizens having received at least a freshet other european countries are trying to pick up the pace with italy

becoming the 1st to introduce the controversial measure of compulsory jobs for health workers the u.k. too has introduced munder tree jobs but so far only for a care home stuff earlier i discussed the issues raised by europe to nation roll out upon the guest. well when we talk about the mandate for the common 1000 vaccine i think we need to look into a broader perspective the 1st thing is that a lot of the vaccine is safe secondly the gravity of the situation and thirdly if anything else is working and if we'll put all of these 3 things together for me i think it is really important and i think it is a cloud for the community responsibility that this vaccine would be a mandate for everybody who had the possibility to pick up an thingy if money tree just for health workers is going to save the lives of vulnerable people it's the right thing to do business it no i don't agree firstly phosphorescent schoolrooms or i think there will be

a number who traces are going to be going to show strong us who are really just going to go off and which is being described we have to burn mine look it's just the bottle of which are actually kind of you know i'm cheating i'm going the facts of the month were of the vast majority of the population actually do not need those facts they should know how to workers are actually sent home if they are symptomatic of any infection and it's not discrimination and if they refuse to back seems to have because of police not taking taxi ins. we've let them work with a little patience because actually. it's not discrimination is just protection of patients that you work with and talking about the mandate after the the vaccine i think if we talk about individual person there might be still in fact after vaccination or can still transmit the infection but if this were actually is

applied on a broader community then the transmission would certainly be stopped and we haven't witnessed this one in israel so in community level the impact of the vaccine is a lot more than what you see any individual level unfunny from what we know in the past that their help in numerous examples of on t.v. is being blamed for the resurgence of preventable diseases measles being one such example considering where in the middle of a pandemic does this more need to be done to counter the more extreme versions of of these protesters well of course really what. the roots. are obvious to produce. are not prepared to debate the issue of these photos from throughout ground goes through proved wrong what we really need is a 2 to get we go through promotions great tool decisions are probably true nancy but she is going. to another story getting

a lot of interest today it's been revealed that over 50 big american companies including fed ex and nike managed to dodge paying federal corporate income taxes in the last fiscal year that's amid widespread job losses blamed on the pandemic artie's killam up and looks at how the us system appears to favor the rich. paycheck to paycheck that's how more than half of been living especially since the pandemic and they're also paying taxes but what would those americans say when they found out that $55.00 of the largest corporations in the united states paid no taxes last year that includes that x. the nikkei after deductions them example. they ended up paying net 0 but they were supposed to pay 8500000000 quite a big difference it sounds like a joke especially for america's small businesses that have been devastated by the pandemic and still had to pay the rent after earning nothing and surprisingly they now might be hit again now that biden is planning to raise personal income taxes

that hit 95 percent of small businesses like a hurricane a strange decision it is letting big corporations off the hook while burying small business owners even deeper i do not think it's the right time especially that we're in a pandemic and small businesses so we've done enough to to survive this pandemic and i mean it's a troubling time for everyone now and then for people to tax small business owners for a struggling be perfect finding creative ways to stay in business over the last 40 years that is roughly since 1080 there has been a systematic redistribution of wealth and income from the poorer and the middle class to those at the very top there are men and be more lobbyists in washington then there are senators and congressmen and women you know the words of the jayanti

of people working on legislation in the capital of washington d.c. are paid agents of large corporations so you see that the control of the big businesses by giving donations to candidate and to parties and by pain these armies of lobbyists they have the influence to make sure that the tax system favors that but don't go rushing to say the world is unfair biden is also promising a tax increase on the very rich i have nothing against millionaires and billionaires but here's the deal we're going to raise the corporate tax. it was 35 percent which is too high we all agreed 5 years ago it should go down to 28 percent . with the reduced to 21 percent raise it back to up to 20 percent ironically though is there really any point in doing this when companies are already failing to pay the current rate even when taxes on the rich were much higher 18 of

america's top $258.00 corporations still managed to pay only some of it seems like loopholes are quite friendly to the rich and powerful all tax problem a bit of the theory because by the reality is the bigger the corporation the easier it is for them to pay for the lawyers the accountants the economists like me who will help them escape taxation the reality is that around the world today large corporations have the ability to move their profits to wherever the tax rate is the lowest so they don't have to pay higher rates of taxation if the united states has tax rates higher than other countries they'll move their profits to other countries some observers say that the biden planned attacks corporations is just a farce and they don't really have any intention of making them pay however small businesses will continue to struggle and r.t.

new york. the story of the detainee who is widely regarded as the most tortured manning going tell them obey is depicted in the hollywood film the mauritanian. in today's episode of going underground afshin rattansi speaks to the director of the movie and the lawyer of mohammad to slahi who was held in the notorious prison for 14 years without charge arrested in mauritania by u.s. forces following the 911 attacks mr sly was accused of being an al qaeda member the film is based on his diary published in january 25th in which expose the horrors of life in the detention center the full interview can be watched on r t throughout the day but here's a quick teaser. you want to represent the head recruiter for 911 constitution doesn't have an asterix yet. they kidnap me from my home prop me here over the back of my head and chains around my body. they seem to be

a lot of pressure going to class pressure i don't know for you to drop the case all through well that there is always pressure against cases in more in guantanamo cases involving alleged terrorists and we tried did make that point when joni talks about that she's taking the words right out of an op ed i did in 2010 where i said i was a terrorist lawyer and proud of it people thought what him and that he's saying about how bad it was they were grounds for the us authorities to. lock him up my understanding from talking to nancy talking to your cat shoes the letter the prosecution lawyer for the government of america at every else is that there are playing to the stories there were new grounds for having him there there were suspicions and he was still to associate with some people who may have done some

bad things but there was no evidence at all in the still to this day remains no evidence at all against clinton but he was an innocent man who was locked up for more than 14 years and there are many many other people in one time in the same situation as even to date obama put him back in jail after he wins that doesn't happen in an innocent man narrative plot to a film that's a terrible twist on the end of the movie and we shouldn't really be giving it away it's actually the part that more people have said to me oh my dogs because you've been through this incredible and sometimes harrowing journey and you think you're coming out the other side because there's been this courtroom victory. and then the rub is tooled for monday you and you get a small sense of what it must have been like to be mamadou or nancy i think some people. i'd like to see obama the same today i'm completely absent from any responsibility that there's no getting away from the fact that if he continued he continued to use the policies of his recess. how did that feel after winning and

then as far mamadou today i understand he cannot easily travel is a kind of president today well he is a kind of prisoner we didn't get a passport for 3 years after he got out that was a deal the u.s. made with laura cheney and they wouldn't give him a passport and now he has not been able to get a visa so far to to europe he only got a visa to south africa we are hoping he and his american wife and baby can someday find a country that will give give him citizenship and allow them to allow him to travel he's a free man he should be allowed to travel. still ahead be a stomach state terror group control of a key town in mozambique for over a week at the international community seems not really call 3rd or in the top of

the bridge. the wall street frauds going all the way back to the twenty's they're not different they're repackaged rebranded and sold again it's the same wine it in new bottle so the smack frog is just a variation on the dot com frog which is a variation on the mortgage sub prime fraud if you remove fraud the g.d.p. would be it would be negative 20 percent.

following in french energy company total has withdrawn all its stuff from mozambique as the african nation faces a terror campaign with the islamic state group holding control of a key tun it sees there over a week ago no fatalities among civilians up in munting the u.n. world food program warns that almost a 1000000 people in mozambique require food aid because of the crisis but the international community is seemingly reluctant to help. fix this through. i'm here

in downtown johannesburg where both of heading to mozambique live from last week insurgents affiliated with islamic state launched a raid on the northernmost big town of palma ransacking buildings and murdering a beheading civilians. was. a good. look. like but because of that. the latest attack is the biggest escalation by islamist rebels who have been waiting villages in towns in northern mozambique for the past 4 years leaving hundreds of thousands of people displaced and at least 2000 dead half of them

civilians according to the united nations. and that we had at the hotel which was besieged by militants after 4 days without eating we decided to leave an escape into the forest but some of my white colleagues lost their lives just to get a good deal for gee i can't go back to the knowledge that i don't believe there will be there that we'll be able to leave there is the way we use to image in the back ok let it go blow not to murder people who were killed on the beach where i was some minister on the way but other state and militants took women boys and children with them play in the limo all night you heard gunshots so there was nothing else to do than flee into the woods and we spent 7 days there without any things that meant there were many children and no food in that mostly because the hub of a gas industry with billions of dollars following the awful discovery of one to be the largest natural gas fields in africa francis. hotel which paid for the

multi-billion dollar gas project in the area earlier the same didn't work because of rebel attacks this was not the 1st time that we've seen. was a big in fact they have actually taken control of. the port which is a key port for regional treat in the region so. presence in mozambique not longer. it is huge it is destructive and it is dangerous to believe that. we've known this is going to happen and that has the has the backing definitely of countries from from up north east and i think this is a problem i think it's something that the u.n. will have to step into and i think it's something that the countries of the u.n. will have to. this is something that should have been done in this very little more than 2 years ago. but the response so for has been lacking in
