a little friends own little well not chinese i. think if you go way over the. tree in the museum of colonialism and slavery. hello there good afternoon you're watching r t international just on the 5 o'clock in the sky that russia has fast tracked the road back to fit sputnik feedback seen to reach every region for the new year period in some parts of the country the vaccination program is already underway and it is hoped to bring down daily infections which pigs are in russia the start of last month let's get more now from. following the story 1st good afternoon don just bring us up to speed then aware russia is exactly in its fight against that good afternoon and the well over the past 24 hours here in russia we've seen over 27000 new recorded coronavirus cases but also today president putin spokesperson said

that unlike many countries in the west there will be no strict a lockdown measures for the holiday season now the reason likely has to do with one of the most recent achievements of russia's health ministry. the president's order has been executed and vaccines but choose from aspects a nation will deliver today to every region in russia vaccination is the path we should take if we are to break the spread of the disease russia's prime minister has made it clear that the vaccination is voluntary however it will be offered free of charge now medics teachers and social workers are at the front of the line to be vaccinated since their work of course specifically is high risk the prime minister also promised 480000 vaccinations will be delivered in december throughout the country even though inoculations have already begun in many areas across the country like in moscow and even in novosibirsk where medical workers there have already taken the shot. i know just how sick people get was that it's stuff

this way we're waiting for the vaccine and we're headed to be 1st in line to get the champ now let's not forget sputnik he has an over 90 percent efficacy rate that means and russia's health minister also says that the latest information coming in is very encouraging so that means this is certainly good news for the russian people in general. sure ok thanks don those don't quarter they're reporting on the rushes right laugh right out of it sputnik vaccine thank you. another news today trucks have formed huge huge as they struggle to end the u.k. is uncertainty i've no deal breaks it looms for britain and the european union companies fear new rules and tariffs being imposed as the british prime minister again pushes back his deadline to reach a compromise i say to all the dodges. we are going to energize the country we're going to get bricks it done little to 30 votes but in the meantime get ready we've culprits of the general the 1st. if we have to

for the panic of brakes it has been made worse by the traditional demand at christmas but the government now even morning stores to stockpile food with more his dmitri. sunday's talks were supposed to be final but what we got was another cliffhanger i'm afraid we're still very far apart on some key things and despite the fact that deadlines have been missed over and over we both think that it is responsible at this point in time to go the extra mile so what are the remaining sticking points for one fish specifically the u.k. fishing industry which is tired of having to share its waters with european competitors while abiding by e.u. quotas which they see as unfair we want until basically for us we just want all those dockside for an ideal for us that's just a slight it won't work so i think it's official life it doesn't work in my day or

it will feel as though we've got about 40 years old when they walk in able to when we can go on fish and catch fish have a drink but i've been out a drink for the last. 46 years old been a tito. definitely get the romeo or the end of it and boris johnson has vowed to support them he's even ready to send in navy gunships to chase away european fishing vessels in case of a no deal brags that europe's response calm down. i want to say keep cool just because we're at the end of a negotiation doesn't mean we have to lose our temple and go overboard and while the situation of the sea heats up the trucks are standing in line hundreds of them stranded in kent santa might be late this year as the pre-christian is build up has contributed to an already dire situation at the border as elves are stuck with countless toys in their trucks some of which might not reach the children until easter well barbie dolls might not be a necessity food and medicine certainly are u.k.

ministers are even advising stores to start stockpiling food and corporations or no deal which would see prices skyrocket and some products disappearing from shelves altogether the use says if you want tariff free access to our market we need to maintain the same standards for goods labor and the environment but those are all the things the u.k. wants to decide for itself. and then there's the problem of how to resolve disputes which are bound to come up the you lost the power to retaliate if the u.k. doesn't follow the rules with fines and tariffs the u.k. isn't so keen on that and it doesn't want the european court of justice to be the final arbiter we keep on searching for very murky cards but i think in the general public you really care it's good progress because we course we voted to leave the e.u. in 2016 so you know i don't agree to many people strictly surprised that our us are not going to look i think we have to remember the our iraq through to

a person 16 question or 2 leading the e.u. it wasn't leaving the e.u. our if we had to do so trying to shockey all yes of course which causes you to try and achieve again most people are not going to stop being a good working relationship with the e.u. what we don't want to do was muscular on the front stoop her our producer be sorted out later on and just move on w t o rules now. france now and hospitality workers there have been gathering in paris against prolonged lockdown measures which they say a crippling their industry although some restrictions will be limited or lifted rather on change day restaurants bars and cafes will have to stay shut right across the holidays until the 20th of january they say that it's threatening not only their livelihoods but also as they put it the french way of life i spoke with r.t.

shell it's been skiing he was at a protest. a lot. of individuals from a number of different sectors the rational cafe impulse sector but also from the tourism sector to a nervous people who own entertainment venues like bowling venues all come out to tell the government they want to open up their business because they have had. in 2020 many of them saying they are put to bankruptcy with some recent report showing some 90200 thousands almost half of the businesses that will not save in saying that they could be closing up shop for good in the next 3 months things are really that joy another is a solidarity fund for businesses with up to $10000.00 euro's per month or 20 percent of that from last year but many say that that is simply not enough on the cooling on the government because over the situation here in front is concerning

the government there are almost 60000 individuals whose be considered to die as a result of 19 every day the infection rate is still around $10000.00 cases that is. what president was hoping it would be up to this point the government is starting a massive screening situation in the 18 some cities across france so there have been criticisms of that and of course the new part phase of the confinement starts on tuesday rocks many you can see. starting on tuesday which means that you could feed that starts at 8 pm in the evening rather knowing him as a racially charged but there is concern that she used a cultural institutions were supposed to be opening up they won't be opening up

because the tradition of many restaurants is of concern that there's a possibility that. we 28 which is the date they would originally projected to be opening may not be the time when. there are many issues are there at the moment in france that spring people latch on to the streets to protest not least at the weekend we saw people in protest over the new global security law all more expected at their own more protests expected we've seen this protest over the last few weeks about the global security law and then to add fuel to the fire that there is this new promoting republican values law and many of the protesters who came out of that weekend said that there are certain aspects of that more which used to be known as the separatism rule which ramos they tend to cool article 24 from the global security bill which is incredibly controversial this idea that you would criminalize publishing people who publish images where individuals can be identified and there is no intent to harm them now there was also huge criticism of

the protest over the weekend with the police using new tactics to try and avoid some love violence we have seen over the past few weeks essentially carrying out what i would describe as a smash and grab this is where the police ram into the crowds and they take out individuals who they think all troublemakers. well almost $150.00 individuals were detained at the protests on saturday many of these detentions coming in the 1st hour or so of protests before it was really too much trouble and all of those detained 2 would journalists now there's been. huge

criticism about from many opposition sides also from human rights groups and journalists groups as well and that comes as the new press freedom index 2020 shows that france is down the scale yet again it's now what number and for the world it was previously at number 32 in this is mainly due to how journalists were treated in 2019 the government says there is freedom of the press here in france but these ranking sure that that certainly is diminishing. german capital is seeing a massive rise in drug use with entire districts now said to be apparently under the control of our sister channel r.t. german captured the troubling trend using hidden cameras.

before the intimidated me a well built young man came into my kiosk i told him to get out but you refused him they started grabbing me i called the police but they arrived too late so i gave a statement but nothing has changed. if you are can you can see them looking out for a potential victim and if somebody is not paying attention they smash their bag or wallets.

that i move on with when i go to the station looking for a dealer i tell him what i need he takes a rubbed elbows out of his mouth the standard price for a job is just $20.00 euros i give him the money and we go our separate ways. now anti-racism campaigners have set their sights on the leading art gallery in britain over a mural that shows an enslaved to black child a briton except that the work is offensive. the chair of the ethics committee noted that members for unequivocal in their view that the imagery of that work is offensive trusters discussed the need to acknowledge the strength of feeling around mural and the harm that imagery has caused the mural which covers the wall of a gallery restaurant is called the expedition in pursuit of rare meat it is by rex whistler and shows a hunting expedition characters though in the piece to include

a captured black boy being led with a chain around his neck campaigners want the work removed with the restaurant closed and the gallery says it is now considering how to respond but were taken this time to consult internally and externally on the future of the room and the mural and will keep the public informed of future plans when it has polarized opinion between those who want the euro to stay and those who call it an unacceptable carry over from britain's colonial past we put the issue up for debate . we need to debate and leave these things where they are so people can understand history and understand how far we have drawn from these images they may now i'm defensive under the current. situation if you're just going to hide things away and you never going to educate people is passive which is also part of blackish.

what you looking out. deeply offensive work placed in one of the most traditional predecessors the reason the country holds black lives matter that the whole paradigm shift in thinking is that what was formerly accepted used to be acceptable is now no longer except. that you can move the middle rope to some sort of museum of colonialism or british shaman you can provide the education context that. to have the super soft slavery while you retain your 45 grew up in the premier arts establishment of the country it can be moved and it can be praised the proper educational context but he said he not in a public space in the pretty prestigious art gallery or just a creep saying it's british colonialism is not to mislead an essentially folse because you misleading people of black history it earned because you are the l m

b l n is a left wing mouches political party said which should go to your party now so the actual movement for black lives is lost its momentum as being any credibility well let's face it kate people about the entire history of the slave don't how the fuck up black african tribes were complicit in it well before europeans got there and it wasn't just british colonialism and we'd just be absolutely clear because you no longer be used to be misled that chattel slavery chance that led to such. honestly wasn't the periodic its leaving of warring tribes that could be released in the negotiation between different villages it was the most brutal long lasting exploitation probably one of the greatest crimes each human history solar 50000000 africans exported from west africa and the interior what we will to do is just

create history away so a lot of friends out on that channel 977 who want to hide anything away i want to put it you know history in a museum of colonialism and slavery that puts it in the proper context and you my friend would be the 1st customer to get educated because your ignorance is so profound as to be absolutely shocked. i fear the war could be brewing in western sahara after the us agreed to recognize the disputed territory as part of iraq in return for morocco normalizing ties with israel that could threaten to break a 30 year since fire the problem dependent supporters now saying in the region that they may have no choice but to fight back but have cast the expects. christmas will well spose especially good for israel this year see santa claus that doesn't work donald trump who has become the israeli equivalent of santa claus has managed to

convince morocco to establish diplomatic ties with israel and when i say convenes what i mean is bribe the united states believes that an independent serai state is not a realistic option for resolving conflicts and genuine autonomy under moroccan sovereignty is the only feasible solution western sahara is the world's largest inhabited territory that hasn't managed to achieve self governance largely because it keeps getting invaded the little people of us are always have had a rough time of it for the past few centuries 1st that was resistance to spanish colonialism then it was invaded by morocco and mauritania who in the locals fought and author all this struggle and all this bloodshed for independence the entire area as far as the united states is concerned has been handed over to morocco by donald trump you see now why the locals are somewhat meath to the polish sorry and

serai government condemn in the strongest times the fact that outgoing american president donald trump attributes to morocco something which does not belong to morocco the policies are you front is the un recognized representative body of the serai people they really made a name for themselves by potentially saving thousands of lives in the 1970s when morocco literally bombed serai refugee camps with napalm then bombed long golden voice of refugees as they fled those camps for algeria where hundreds of thousands of them now live in refugee camps and often all that killing the atrocities the tarot serai have just been told to suck it up because they're now part of morocco because. that's good for israel. since the stance of the arab israeli conflict we've been seeing in the observing peace in exchange for peace peace in exchange for security but today we see the consolidation of one occupation in exchange for

the consolidation of another. month in which they live. from within the occupied region denounced this reckless statement of president trump which does not necessarily reflect use foreign policy washington's sheer cynicism and disregard for serai is right to self-determination aside this is all but going to cause more bloodshed russia spain and palestine have already condemned the announcement and the ceasefire that has held for 30 years is already breaking down you can't blame just trumpet this morocco has been a historical ally of the united states and even a bomber wanted the serai is to live under a nation they want no part of. morocco's autonomy plan is serious realistic and credible he represents a potential approach the consensus for the aspirations of the people in the western sahara to run their own affairs in peace and dignity while it is fascinating to

watch how far donald trump will go to please israel it is causing a lot of wear and tear for the old moral compass trading away half a 1000000 people's right to rule themselves and telling them to live under a hostile state where an unelected king calls all the shots but if you're in israel happy hanukkah enjoy this latest little present that father trump has left on top of the power of previous gifts. and health workers in gaza a warning that israel's blockade is causing a severe shortage of testing kits and the recenter equipment is making a bad situation worse to its infection numbers in the palestinian territory continue to rise. where these ladies see him posing as a stripper has a very bad effect on the call of virus the poverty which is prevailing is one of the main cause if it gets off we see on gaza strip and the closure of the borders of course which is preventing medical stops and hateful wishless from outside to

come in to help us in gaza strip while we have the israeli continuous illegal to block it we have the coronavirus with the. health system and really difficult. conditions however israel does insist that it is providing masks equipment and doctors in gaza israeli authorities are also reportedly getting ready to provide vaccines now in a bid to stop the rising number of cases garza closed all stores except pharmacies at the weekend the enclave is one of the most densely populated territories in the world making it hard to enforce social distancing a local code survivor highlighted the severity of the problem. all had the issue at the i.c.c. lack of discipline from the patients they don't wear masks don't keep social distancing sometimes even doctors don't follow this rule they also keep touching

their faces and eyes after treating the patients spared them really cautious i did in fact because adult who's callous people i hope people do realize that this virus truly exists in here and it kills. me while the german president has warned of some of the toughest ever restrictions as a new lockdown was announced the head of the christmas holidays following a surge in k. with 19 cases 20000 new cases be registered on sunday alone the measures come in this week and will stay through until the 2nd week of january. for me. from wednesday on words our public and private lives will therefore be more severely restricted than ever before in the history of the federal republic of germany this issue asian is bitterly serious thousands of deaths in one week an infection that threatens to get out of control we cannot avoid drastic measures. so starting from wednesday then children will no longer go to school or daycare most

shops are non essential services will close churches can stay open but without singing and drinking alcohol in public is banned so too is the say the fire works with overstretched hospitals unable to deal with firework related injuries the new measures have split the business community. but it really makes me angry the government could have had a lockdown earlier in october and that business worked for these 2 weeks. of us prepared for the 2nd knock down i've expanded my online shop and started selling new products there and honestly i was not surprised by this decision authorities have made a slight exception though for the 3 days around christmas from the 24th the 26th for close relatives can join a family to celebrate as well as their children origins are also promising up 250-0000 euro for affected businesses and the self employed but early in journalist

thomas fassbender as think it won't be easy for authorities to monitor that everybody is following the restrictions. if you read the regulation i read them 3 or 4 times for christmas or you need sort of a law degree to understand really what is allowed and what is forbidden for christmas but there are a jerk christmas in germany in 2020 there will be a lot of. anger criticism and humorous scepter about it. again government wants to restrict is much as possible of contacts knowing of course all these measures will not be fully implemented and they will not be able to monitor or. there is a certain despair in the government measures that cannot be denied but it is difficult even even with discipline germans to keep 83000000. under strict control
