you're watching are to international bring you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program donald trump wants congress to make changes to the much fought over $900000000000.00 covert relief bill he called it a disgrace for not putting the american people's interests 1st and for including more than a few non pandemic related provisions us president wants individual payments increase from $600.00 to $2000.00 congress found plenty of money for far john trees lobbyists and special edges while sending the bare minimum to the american people who need it it wasn't their fault i am asking congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculous lilo 6 $100.00 to $2000.00 or $4000.00 for a couple. house speaker nancy pelosi was quick to react blaming republicans for not

providing information on what amount the president himself expected to be written down in the package she said democrats are ready to discuss the matter as soon as lawmakers gather again this week and there are other things in the bill trump is unhappy about not have nothing to do with pandemic for example new horseracing rules and even a section on the dalai lama the outgoing president has threatened not to sign it if amendments aren't made me to poke takes a closer look at the bill hollow lou it the warring sides in congress have finally set aside some of their differences and agreed to dish out $900000000000.00 in covert 19 relief for families and businesses but the $600.00 stimulus checks which are half of what people got back in april have left many under well one time payment 600 dollars. is this a joke and jobless no health insurance this isn't going to cut it congress this

need some senators even took offense at people questioning their life saving bill oh it's real help it's a trillion dollars for god's sakes what is that $1000000.00 and. there is no money fairy we don't have this money we don't have 5 percent of it sandra we had to borrow it is real help will it be enough i think it will be but we're just going to have to wait and see but the covert relief package didn't come alone the absence of the money fairy didn't stop congress from slapping on a $1.00 trillion dollar spending bill which combined with the covert bill made the overall document over 5 and a half 1000 pages long the behemoths took so long to upload to the internet the congressman only received it on the day of the vote and it's kind of hard to believe they managed to read the whole thing before passing it. for congressional leaders refused to put any legislation on the floor to be considered and scrutinized and amended now they release

a $5593.00 page bill with no opportunity to read it let alone amend it no responsible legislators should vote for such a thing this is going to goes over 3 hours just to prove that it is. impossible. you need one now to be open for you to read between now and the time we will if you take a closer look at the bill you can see there's a lot more than covert relief in there military spending for example was more of a talking point than the pandemic and words like missile aircrafts and munition appeared far more times than anything related to health care masks weren't even mentioned once in the document foreign aid also proved to be a high priority billions of dollars are said to be poured into countries like ukraine israel and cambodia funds that could have been spent on domestic needs and then there's a whole bunch of other issues that were deemed very crucial like ensuring the integrity and fairness of the election sorry horse racing how could that sport

survive without money from the government also investing in general programs is something the u.s. just can't do without be it programs in pakistan or commissions on determining gender equality in statues and even the dialogue reincarnation gets mentioned in the bill because in case you forgot he can't get reincarnated without u.s. taxpayer dollars this jumbled mess of spending proposals caused even some senators to trash the bill. tonight i voted no against the suppose that covert relief bill because it sells out billions of dollars to foreign governments the sudan gypsum military and not more important than american citizens and while trump is expected to sign the document later this week many are already calling on him to veto the bill don't trump you must veto of this farce relieve bill this isn't a stimulus package this is a message for and. every american left and right should be calling for

a veto on the stimulus deal which provides more funding to foreign governments and turmeric an arts centers than to their merican people covert relief might be badly needed but while 600 bucks why do some good for americans in a tough spot senators are obviously willing to put a lot more money behind their own agendas if you look where the expenditures went look we know what this is this is nothing but a con it's a ruse it's a chance to to provide special interest and special issues the money that normally wouldn't be able to be earmarked this is guaranteed to provide monies that would normally not be able to be available but now they are which is a christmas tree the idea is that you take something you slap on benefits and expenditures and bills but america needs something so we hold the american public hostage in the meantime they get a pittance of what it would normally gotten before but maybe rather than giving all

this money for covert relief why don't we just remove the lockdown wonder we remove the dish shackles because businesses are under these more draconian measures why don't you do that instead of just give money here's your 600 bucks maybe 1200 bucks now leave me alone be happy and shut up. u.s. lawmakers have been offered early access to the co-head vaccine but many are torn between having it to boost public confidence and putting high risk groups 1st and they split doesn't seem to follow party lines. if enough of us take it we'll get back to. help is on the way.

it isn't appropriate for me it was only gotten the virus has immunity to get in front of elderly health care workers same goes for any young healthy person they should be among the last not 1st. a very good yes. i'm so confident that they covered 1000 vaccine is safe and effective but i decided to take it myself it's disturbing to see members be 1st to get the vaccine while most frontline workers elderly and infirm in our districts wait.

we need to distinguish 2 different things leaders or prime minister or president leading members of the senate the senate you know the public the little political figures and celebrities get that exene just show the public that it's safe and that it's necessary that's one thing it's another thing to say that in general politicians just simply be. prioritize because they have political power being politicians these are 2 separate matters they can't be conflated any humane principle for who gets the vaccine 1st should be those who are most vulnerable in that especially is frontline workers essential workers the elderly and the infirm so it's true that probably some some politicians might be in for some politicians might be front line workers but they're not there's no reason why publishers politicians should be pushed to the top of the list simply because they're over 50 they french government has backed up a bill that would impose movement restrictions on people who have not been

vaccinated or cannot prove their coven free at this point finds that the majority of french people are skeptical about the vaccine artist pos lare has more france is preparing to end its health emergency by april the so says the french prime minister john kass takes he's presented a vote in the national assembly ended establishing a so-called long term health emergency management regime simply chew it is vaccination and those opposed to it might just find themselves in trouble even if they just planning a trip around the city. the prime minister made on to the plan measures make the movement of people and their access to transport subject to presenting test results showing that the person is not in fact is following vaccination or remedial treatment i don't trust pride's. i don't trust the for the moment. enough. so i would wait until he comes out hoping that they will and into

i don't think so it's not really the nature of this country. who are all a little fed up with the concentration so you can help us move forward a bit of place but i do wonder if it was made to quickly. and quite worried because a lot of people talk about side effects after vaccine even a few years later other oh i am absolutely not against this idea as a young person who want to be active again and go out to have fun and kiss people so this is the price we have to pay to return to normality. according to some politicians the may still believe i'm vaccinated people feeling as though they 2nd class citizens if this bill has really been tabled it must be forged but all elected officials and citizens committed to democracy and freedom in the face of this senseless deviation it is up to us to bring the government back to a semblance of reason this is the bill establishing a long term health emergency management regime which has just been introduced by

cast x read the following in this law the prime minister can make you a 2nd class citizen if you refuse the vaccine we must wake up it flies in the face of a promise made by french president emanuel not quantities government they should skeptics their feet and covered vaccination which begins on sunday would be purely voluntary . but i want to be clear i will not make the vaccination mandatory. but the idea of a stick to a certain suite of missile vaccinated people has been mentioned several times in public debates since this presidential announcement for example a member of the union of democrats and independent party valerie 6 has proposed the issuing of green pos votes to people who have been immunized with we could take the example of israel which grants each vaccinated person a green passport allowing them to go to places of culture and to restaurants and to

get back to normal living the french an occupation program will target the most vulnerable members of society 1st such as the elderly and only after and medical examination and come since he has. it's a great start but it's what comes next that has people here worried policia artsy paris we spoke to a member of the french national front who believes the government has taken a step too far. you know a manual marker on the prime minister the health minister livy abel ron promised us there would be no compulsory vaccination and that they would leave the freedom to choose to the french and fact thanks in particular to marine le pen we see that the draw floor speaks of a measure completely very old aimed at limiting subjecting the french people to certain rules in their public lives thereby deciding for them whether they will be vaccinated or not i think that it is shameful and fact it is a restriction of freedom which moreover contradicts the constitution this is

a manifestation of dictatorship and the patience of the french has run out. they agreed to strict discipline for many months they said yes to the introduction of quarantine said yes to the imposition of a curfew said yes to the imposition of sanitary rules they agreed to everything that was imposed on them the next day the government came up with nothing better than to further could tail their personal freedom this is called segregation if the government wants the french to get vaccinated they must restore an atmosphere of trust that's the voice of wisdom elsewhere in europe voluntary mass vaccination against coburn $1000.00 will begin in spain on sunday at the spanish health ministry has said that a record will be kept of anyone refusing to get vaccinated it is considered important to record cases of rejection of the vaccination in the vaccination registry in order to understand the possible reasons for a long distance in different population groups according to the latest polls just

over 40 percent of spaniards are ready to have the crowbar specs seen 16 percent said they would be willing to get it in the market and if it's proven affected while almost one 3rd will refuse to get the job altogether. you know where i'm going to bed i'm not going to get vaccinated i don't support it i don't want to be registered anywhere neither the government the city council or anyone else has to know what i do. i believe it violates our privacy and they should not interfere at the moment no i'm not going to vaccinate. it doesn't seem right or wrong to me i think people should get vaccinated but without forcing anyone everyone should do as they choose or mean i guess i'm one of those who doesn't want to be vaccinated it seems wrong to me i don't want any government to have to tell me whether or not i must be vaccinated because it's my decision. so had the u.k. and france have reached an agreement on reopening borders for holly or as much to

the relief of stranded drivers more on that story after this short break. is your media 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 that. way. what is true what is fake. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us

in the depths. for a mate in the shallowness. welcome back france and britain will start to reopen their borders to truck drivers this wednesday providing they test negative for covert testing science will be set up to clear the backlog of almost $3000.00 trucks trying to cross into the continent the move comes as a relief to drivers and travelers many of whom have been stuck for day. who are sitting in the car park for more do 48 hours we have kids but we are like 30 people going to cause that notional war in iraq right so much usually the point is though it may go in my car go away you know where you stopping me it in the street was just i want just go in my country. with christmas coming up we really want to

travel back to the children to our families today we're stuck here we don't have any information like when the water will run out. as you just heard in some areas drivers honk their horns to vent their frustration the u.k. transport secretary says despite progress and providing enough tests for drivers at the border a backlog might take 2 or 3 days to clear. it's not all doom and gloom however as u.k. retailers have played down fears of food shortages over christmas due to the disruption earlier we got a reaction from guests in the u.k. who also think that christmas dinner will still be on the menu. well some fresh produce does come from the u.k. i mean i gather there's no shortage of carrots and you know perhaps a dollar stuff or maybe in regular supply i don't think we'll see and the shelves and i may be proven wrong but i think the supermarkets are behind well ahead of

this they at least have and i think we might see some drownded you might not be able to get your lemons and your incentives before your broccoli but you will be able to get most of sprouts by its legs nose whatever so we might see some here going around but i don't seek shelter going i mean it's a kind of reflective time of year where you know this time many people are going to be reflecting in a solitary state and that will help them to sort of you know look on the bright side of things so well as perhaps normally they would so again you know the sort of threat to certain sectors cities and wellbeing is really quite a concert if we want to rehearse it and imagine what the french announce but. they may go to her actually not knowing if there was something more transmissible we might take similar action possibly not so robust but we know i'm sure the government would cite something like actually. the israeli government has collapsed

after months of parliamentary wrangling failed to secure a new budget the knesset was dissolved at midnight on tuesday meaning the country will now go to the polls for the 4th time and less than 2 years artist on a quarter speaks about the implications. really seems like tuesday's budget roadblock was the last straw for israel's 7 month long ruling government coalition now benjamin netanyahu party and benny gantz is blue and white party or both blaming one another for the impasse and with these new elections scheduled for march i think we could possibly be seeing the end to 11 years of the premiership of benjamin netanyahu but netanyahu doesn't seem very worried. when i'm not afraid of elections we are prepared for that we will win the public and israel knows who's bringing in 1000000 to vaccines for peace agreement who's blocking iran who is bringing security and who will restore the economy with great impetus well

netanyahu is ratings are actually at an all time low but he still projected to do better than dance in these new snap elections but he polls are actually saying these not projected to win a majority like in these previous instances i mean after all his political career has been followed by a corruption case which he's denied any wrongdoing in and and also people aren't very happy in israel about the government's handling of the coronavirus pandemic we've seen protests gripped the country for the past 6 months and they're not really showing any sign of letting out. really politics have been deadlocked for a long time now

a lot of people are saying that another election isn't isn't going to fix the situation it's just going to lead to a 5th election down the road but i'm happy that we have to fulfill it. because i was afraid that the we will never have an election again. we prayed that the dictatorship would take over. i think now the situation is quick to code and we don't have the money and the time for the elections on a house in which i mean i think that the election is completely unnecessary it will cost us more than 2000000000 new israeli shekels if not more and we are in the middle of coronavirus people can't make ends meet why spend 2000000000 new israeli shekels now what for. staying in israel ultra-orthodox protesters block several of jerusalem's main roads after a student was arrested for allegedly turning up to an i.d.f. recruitment office to defer his construction. oh yes.

she's broke out between protesters and police and several police officers were reportedly injured the ultra orthodox community has traditionally been exempt from military service which can put them at odds with the wider population. russian government has adopted an internet censorship bill the new law will allow moscow to block foreign websites in russia if their term and to be discriminatory are trying to has more. with this village a station that has been approved by a majority of russian m.p.'s internet users in this country could soon wake up to a blog or slow down facebook twitter you tube etc other potential punishment for foreign internet companies could include fines from small ones of somewhat like $40.00 to equivalence of sums like tens of thousands of

dollars so what could the russian foreign ministry and the prosecutor general's office punish the platforms for that is for discriminating russian media outlets by removing their content or falsely flying it as fake or misleading the likes of you tube and facebook could also get in trouble with the russian authorities for refusing to remove content that is on lawful in this country i.e. extremist the russian media and communications watchdog will keep track of the violators but they may be excluded from the list if they choose to correct their mistakes and inform the russian authorities about it now when the russian president vladimir putin was asked how to avoid this kind of discrimination of russian media outlets online his answer was that the best way to do it is to develop its all internet

platforms. to push the main way to ensure independence and information space to develop platforms and technical capabilities yourself and that's what we're doing if russia depends on other countries platforms they can just press the button and see the game over and that's no good. so if you're wondering what's behind this initiative by russian lawmakers well to explain that you can simply look back at some of the incidents that happened with r.t. materials online this. being flagged as inappropriate misleading or fake or even being temporarily taken off the platforms so again this is an attempt by the russian authorities to protect the russian media community and the likes of us in these kind of situations. this december marks 10 years since the seeds of the

arab spring were sown when one man self-immolation led to a series of anti-government uprisings that spread across much of the middle east and northern africa challenging some of the region's authours tarion governments are fast forward to 2020 and they're still on rest in the region last year the sudanese ousted their longtime leader amar al bashir who had been in power for 3 decades and more recently tunisian authorities clamp down on an arab spring anniversary event only sparking more anger. a recent poll by you gov and the guardian suggests people in 8 arab countries feel their lives have not improved after the arab spring many of those question thought there was significantly more inequality in society after the events of 2010 we spoke to max abrams a public policy professor who believes the arab spring ultimately failed in its political goals on the what i would say that the arab spring was surprisingly successful in the sense that you have protesters toppling

the authoritarian regime and yet the goal of the arab spring was to promote democracy and democratic reform. to better region middle you student in north africa and on that score it has failed even in countries like tunisia where the jim ocracy was. there is still widespread. discontent among the citizenry in terms of the alternate political outcome of the arab spring i think it must be judged as a failure. as our wrap up of the day's top news for now thanks for tuning in. the girl.

greetings and salyut ation. you know while most of us have been distracted by a presidential election temper tantrums covert vaccinations and senators mark warner's and mitch mcconnell's rather tepid efforts at pretending to actually do something to help the american people through a feeble stimulus package the slow creep of their surveillance state has not relented and has been steadily rising across the country over the last year you see it appears law enforcement agencies have been busy buying up and implementing surveillance state goodies that allow them to see you when you're sleeping know when you're awake and know if you've been battered good like some sick kind of orwellian.
