good morning and welcome to the program this is our team's national coming to you live from the russian capital into your live news update. canada's premier has some an emergency meeting with ministers as protester shut down key rail routes across the country the rapidly escalating rallies hope to stop a vast proposed gas pipeline over indigenous territory quarter explains. railways out of commission ports a backlog marches on the streets transportation across canada has been shut down by protests over a near 700 kilometer long gas pipeline and judging by the most recent actions there seems to be little hope for a swift resolution. at

1st a number of indigenous councils came to an agreement with the company coastal gas link to build a $6600000000.00 gas pipeline that would run through indigenous lands but the chiefs of a small 1st nation called the what sioux wetton tribe came out against its construction and for that they were raided by the police. don't you. think that. there's no need to bore guns out of us there is no need but the police action seems to have backfired the what's the weapon movement not long after spread like wildfire across the country there blockades of canada's

railways have begun to shut down trans national freight movement prime minister justin trudeau knows he's got a problem on his hands one that he thinks will be solved through dialogue we are a country that recognizes the right to protest but we are a country of the rule of law and we will ensure that everything is done to resolve this. through dialogue and constructive and cops it doesn't take much for a problem like this to become a crisis though and trudeau probably knows that since he recently canceled a visit with caribbean leaders to convene an emergency meeting about the protests instead but this is just one page in canada's difficult history dealing with 1st nation reservations the gas company says the pipeline is safe and environmentally friendly but much of the native population and their supporters aren't buying it what they're saying is they have agreements with 20 indian i am council and 5 of

the 6 which so it grant councils have signed up to agreements which they wouldn't have never signed a treaty with canada. they have an aboriginal tie you know in addition us title to their land and they don't operate under the indian act there are there are a relatively traditional government system there salmon bearing stream or some other pristine force and that this pipeline would go through that they're objecting to it which is why they proposed an alternative route really it is. an issue about corporate interests trumping indigenous rights in canada i mean coastal gas link the west so it and as i understand it had proposed an alternative route for the pipeline the company said no because of the economic issues associated with changing the route but i think it's going to cost them more money if they continue the conflict and don't do the. lawyer and journalist dimitri last kara's says shutting down the pipeline is the only way for the canadian establishment to respect indigenous rights as it claims to do these protests this is actually quite

unusual by canadian standards when they begin to have an impact on the economic interests of large businesses in this country then that's an escalation of the fire that the prime minister is forced to deal with it's very hard to see where there's a resolution here because frankly the only resolution that respects truly respects the rights of indigenous people is to put a stop. to that pipeline project this is unseated territory the hereditary chiefs of the what's working people have not consented to this project and that is rightly given the historical abuses that have been horrible abuses that have been visited upon indigenous peoples in this country and i think you know we're hearing a lot of lip service as we have for many years from the corporate community in this country about their commitment to human rights and environment but the reality is radically inconsistent with their rhetoric and it's time for us to recognize that at the governmental level. a german court has ordered tesla to stop clearing

forest land for its 1st european production site that's despite the electric car giant promising to quote replant an area 3 times the factory plot it's a victory for protesters who warn that modern supposedly green companies are far from what they claim to be.

i appeal to anyone who is considering a lawsuit to go back and sign you know paralyze germany as an industrial location. you're not allowed to cut trees you know that scale until you have permission to this forest lands to industrial factory use and that seems to be what's what's you know what's happened here that these trees will come big companies love to talk about being environmentally friendly because it's very good p.r. because they know that's what ordinary people and their customers like to hear and it's instances like this where you can find out what's behind those great words you know when the deeds are quite different that it turns out that oh that company

perhaps is not really so environmentally friendly is perhaps not really interested in these issues. u.s. secretary of state is in africa in a bid twin back business from china whose companies dominate the continent but my pompei is kind speeches stand. in stark contrast to washington's recent actions in the region. reports like pompei 0 is on a goodwill tour of the african continent trying to convince nations that they have no better friend than the good old us of a kind that american just will be by your side going to finish and it's going to delete posts with natural gas rushing. down to the benefit of american businesses for sure to the be sure as well during our meeting i congratulated both the president and the foreign minister on the newly discovered energy reserves off the coast american firms like cosmos energy hell britain baker hughes are all helping to develop these resources so that they benefit the senate good senegalese people

not foreign actors now my palm peo has been the u.s. secretary of state for some time however his interest in africa seems to be quite new but perhaps that's because his trip to africa isn't really about africa it's about competing with china it's tempting to accept easy money from places like china. but what good is it if it feeds corruption and undermines your rule of law but that ship has sailed china is already very well in bedded in africa it's the continent's largest trading partner not to mention the fact that beijing has been splashing cash on to development.

furthermore mike pompei it was timing seems to be a little bit off the travel ban has just been expanded to include several african countries so you're not welcome in america but me sure to give u.s. officials a hearty welcome not the most winning message. the government expresses his dismay at this unfriendly acts which runs counter to the administration's pronounced policy of constructive engagement to address past wrongs with west africa struggling to protect itself from terrorist groups the usa may have sealed its alliance with military aid however that military aid is being scaled back the usa is also reducing other support in the region. we have spoken with the us about the need for that presence in the area we hope that the americans will continue to

help us in security training i want to tell his readers. also do you remember a certain leader who referred to african countries with some rather profane words well there's still no apology on that there are 54 countries that make up the continent of africa 54 places president trunk considers to be whole countries as opposed to describe some immigrants coming from africa and as coming from countries tom denies using such derogatory language and democratic senator who sat next to mr trump in the meetings insists that the president repeatedly used the word to describe the countries now behind all the lights cameras handshakes and photo ops mike pompei all really wants africans to believe that america is their best friend especially if they're trying to get close to china but i think. clearly quite concerned just like the united states are concerned that the chinese have taken a massive lead across the african continent for now as far as i know the chinese have already got. in africa i think of mistrust the chinese worked with the chinese

if you read the chinese and only told access these access levels it was not because i because we're fearful of the chinese or of the they didn't trust them it's because of because believe that they wanted to choose their own destiny and chose to play a part which was not the united states for once the us was the. us is trying to counter that for the us to want to compete with that right now i'm afraid 10 years too late. the death toll from the corona virus has now reached more than $1700.00 people including 3 victims outside of china but beijing has condemned the rise of conspiracy theories over the outbreak some u.s. politicians including senator tom cotton had suggested the virus started in the chinese biological weapons laboratory we also know that just

a few miles away from the food market is china's only bio safety level 4 super laboratory that researches human infectious diseases we have lied consistently about this virus to me so we should not take their words at face value it's very harmful it's very dangerous to stir up suspicion rumors and spread them among the people for once and this will create panic another says that it will offend a racial discrimination as you know for all of this in china's handling of the corona virus has been widely criticized in the western media some outlets have accused beijing of falsifying data and covering up the scale of the crisis meanwhile the world health organization has said unfounded rumors are making it harder to deal with the outbreak the 2900. responses being accompanied by a massive info demick an overabundance of information some accurate and some

knowledge that makes it hard for people to find trustworthy sources and reliable guidance when they need it we got reaction from human rights lawyer daniel koblick and political scientists packing a long. i think what these obligations and suggestion i'm making is basically trying to break the outbreak of the corn the farmers to chinese people in china in if you look at these claims and these are location carefully up to now in the scientific circle we still do not have 100 percent of the to suggest that that these why rose he's indeed coming from any wildlife any more number one and number 2 we still don't have and if the evidence to substantiate that these virus is a leak from. the or viral i do think it's being politicized it's not only politicized in the sense that there's criticisms of the chinese government but the chinese people themselves which makes absolutely no sense but it's part of this yellow scare that is you know frankly has been underneath the surface in the u.s.

for a long time but now is really bubbling to the surface because of this crisis i think that the government of the u.s. in the media have some responsibility for that economically. or in the one china's economy or these 3 is going to war. and for a slowdown in one more tool it brings far more uncertainty to global economy in the coming months and the 30 years since we do not know when this outbreak we eventually disappear and then the it also a. fact of uncertainty to to grow the economy i mean china's economy is so big that you know this could really impact. the world economy could affect the gross domestic product of many countries certainly will affect china's but

certainly many others that trade with china you know it could even have an impact on the u.s. on the u.s. stock market and again on the u.s. gross domestic product we'll have to see. you know how that turns out. and while some politicians promote conspiracies on the virus some businesses are making a questionable profit on the outbreak health after the break. or the kind of good intentions revived. in christening and maybe even 40 years ago is simply to. see if the compressor will supply of.

what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to be rich. but you going to be 1st it's like that before 3 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters about how. things should. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to give us a little bit politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. welcome back to syria over the coronavirus outbreak continues online realtors are hoping to make money from the crisis. reports. as the world runs out of face

masks hand sanitizer sells like hot cakes and antibacterial wipes fly off the shelves online retailers even amazon are finding other ways to cash in on the deadly coronavirus not by upping the price of those essential oh no but by floating in a time a new line of coronavirus inspired products topping the list of these t. shirts both retailers have an extensive selection such as i survived corona 2020 and straight out of one hand backoff and also coronavirus made in china i will subtle and though both sites also have mugs to sell complete with the scientific molecular makeup of the virus presumably so you'll know what to the count for and no range is complete without a few miscellaneous items like a framed poster warning of the infection zone while making the link with the bear of a similar name abroad which also thought it was necessary to state the obvious that there's no link between the virus and the beverage in response to the sale of t.

shirts breeches disaster in charge of the policy despite the merchandise still being on sale while amazon has so far declined to comment to be fair though neither company makes the products but both do take a sizeable cut of the sales and it also begs the question who's buying them but as companies rake in the cash the virus continues to spread it could be they use the money for charitable ventures like helping contain it or funding research into the outbreak but don't bank on it. palestinians have dismissed in an invitation to attend an art event on an israeli settlement as colonialist and insulting so they come to occupied territory too in the area with your negates palestinian development through a network of checkpoints roadblocks and closed military zone. and then they tell us you can attend in a closed military area. the israeli military has already approved up to $15000.00 people attending the gathering in disputed parts of the west bank and organizers
