a particularly strong in scotland with a majority feeling that they'd be better off brussels. scotland will be back soon europe give the light on some would say this is the 1st stage of grief denial but with support for scottish independence rising by the day and hitting 58 percent in recent weeks there's now a fear that breaking with brussels might well cost the u.k. its 300 year union with scotland so bracks it is might be revelling triumphantly in their newfound independence now but there won't be any victory laps when they're left with a do find it kinda no wonder then that people are nervous about the road ahead i would say as a young person my focus is mainly being on money travelling europe and education that opportunity might be taken away from my very very fit the u.k. has given the will or. got very little in return it's just going to make life
3:04 am
a lot more complicated the biggest impact for me is just going to be not travelling and really not feeling like i am here anymore i feel like that's been kind of ripped away with everything while some a novice others just can't and that the pasta go in fact they want to rewrite the campaign for britain's rejoined europe starts at midnight. in the meantime hundreds of thousands are hoping the e.u. will forgive them and hand on a pity passport while others have gone to extremes doing a deep dive into family archives praying that they can find some long lost friend job an italian it really doesn't matter a great great aunt 3 times or 2 may have never met but who might well be that lifeline to visa for travel if i understand it correctly i am french my mother was born in france her mother was totally french as was her grandfather so for me it is

about reclaiming what i already have and that makes me very happy i will always be a european that's for sure nothing like. father jumping ship to instill confidence in these uncertain times but boris isn't too bold that in fact he's wrong but pleased with himself this is an amazing moment for this country we have our freedom in our hands and he's up to us to make the most of it while it might be a freedom frontin of boris's hands but as restlessness disillusionment and division and brittania grow there's a sense that the only thing britons are left holding are empty promises. from recorded 26000 new cases of covert or new year's eve the highest rate since november the government responded by tightening curfews. we don't want to implement a nationwide or local lowdown on who or if we will propose an extension of the

curfew which instead of starting at 8 pm will start at 6 pm in all the regions where it's needed is some cities or regions where the incidence rate is above the maximum alert level these measures will be implemented from generally 2nd 2021 aside from the curfews bars and restaurants remain closed over the festive period it extends months of restrictions that have taken a devastating toll on the hospitality industry restaurant owner venison monnier describe to us the desperate state people are in and how his neighbor was even driven to take her own life. it's so i've been living in la trinité so for 16 years i have 12 hotel rooms sent to restaurants we serve from 40250000 per year we employ 12 people during the winter period and around $22.00 people during the summer period so being suddenly left without work for 5 months is not easy our kommunist pressure lies in selling local products seafood we produce

a lot of fish there are no more events there are no more buses there is nothing and on top of that we are closed in terms of health i took antidepressants i took center to use i throw up every morning i don't sleep much and i don't sleep well and i think i'm not the only one in this position among people i know there was my neighbor who lived right in front of my house who had a restaurant for 2 generations she survived the 1st lock down she was 36 years old she had a roadside restaurant it was an establishment that everyone knew and appreciated during the 2nd lockdown everyone had to close again but some roadside restaurants were authorized to open and as she was not on the list the next day she hanged herself if you want to morbid detail it was her 11 year old son who took her down from the noose horrific for him to have to go through a poll from a french socialist suggests

a restaurant i didn't take a salary for 6 months so ultimately i paid to work luckily for me and my wife we've put some money aside we've put it aside but it melts like ice cubes in the sun so inevitably it makes us questions we wonder how it's going to be tomorrow if we'll be able to pay the rent if we'll be able to pay for the car if we'll be able to pay for the kids' school especially when we know that business owners and friends have no direct help at christmas my children told me daddy don't give us presents will sell all our toys instead to earn money to have food. coverts imposing so many lives from the french hospitality trade to french wine makers who also have the pressures to deal with right now they're furious about a huge spat brewing between the u.s. and e.u. playmakers that left grape growers paying vast new tariffs over it all we'll explain why later in the program. this next just months after the

3:11 am
that deadly threat should the officers not react in a deadly force situation and knowing that community members lives were at stake as well the officers are trained to protect community members lives and their own the latest protest took place near where george floyd was killed in may here's a recap of how police brutality demonstrations have developed in the last year. was.

a right winger rammed his car into a crowd of left wing activists a police helicopter crashing and killing state troopers street clashes and violence that shocked the world. the year is 2020 and there is nothing more common than the sight of angry crowds and burning cars it's almost routine you've got right wing groups like the proud voices or the patriot prayer who clash in the streets with masked communists or anarchists under the label of and it's far from peaceful people get stabbed people get shot this summer many were horrified by the brutal killing of george floyd at the hands of the police. let's face. it.
3:14 am
the battleground message changed black lives matter protests rocked the country the national guard was called up it was chaos in the streets. how many people died from clashes between protesters and police during 2020 the us media has not really focused on giving a specific body count in detroit wisconsin and tennessee protestors were shot and killed on june 12th yahoo news lifted the name of 12 officers from low. oh cool and federal agencies who were killed during the protests as the year went on more incidents came and more deaths were counted in july donald trump made a point of sending federal officers to portland oregon to crack down on the
3:15 am
protesters sending law enforcement. portland was totally out of control the democrats and liberal democrats running the place had no idea what they were doing they made a point of abducting protesters covering their faces and opting to engage local officials opposed the move and on july 30th they struck a deal with the feds to back down in november and a contested us presidential election from supporters poured out into the streets of washington d.c. and other cities leftists came out to confront them. there was a time when average americans viewed protesters as fringe and crazy in 1968 richard
3:16 am
nixon won the presidential election saying he stood for a silent majority that opposed peace marchers and civil rights activists and was disgusted by a growing unrest but that america is long gone protests which often turn violent seem pretty normal these days so whether the issue is white supremacy police brutality contested election results or declaring autonomous zones americans now seem far more willing to engage in politics and in violence or both 2020 maybe look back on as a turning point in u.s. history. r.t. new york. and historian gerald holmes has international attention victims in the u.s. does have an effect. i would concur to what happened in april 19th 68 in the united states after nobel laureate dr markham to changing the skill at that particular moment you had him straight up to there is another aspect of what's happening today in a sense does. not mean the demonstrations global if you look historically at the struggles
3:17 am
of black americans what you'll find is that one of the ways we've made progress in the past this because to the national solidarity and so that gives me hope for the future and one of the problems with soon you're the leader there do such a lot and that is a direct result of this by the proper black people to follow a centralized political one of those asians such as the black panther party in the 1960 s. the government comes out their leaders and puts them in chino and shows them and so therefore in the end they are used to have not only the you know people just spontaneously come to the streets now i understand that and but what good does is it makes it difficult to plan it makes it very difficult to channel that energy into politics. it's generally the 2nd live from russia this is arts international
3:18 am
3:19 am
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confront a shooting let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic developments only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. hello again the u.s. has slapped major tariffs on e.u. products in a tit for tat move explaining the decision the trumpet ministration accused europe of overreacting to the previous round of washington's penalties. the e.u. made not the tourists that unfairly increase the amount of or italy ation the you
3:20 am
need to take some measure to compensate for this unfairness so the latest u.s. levies target aircraft parts and alcohol they come after brussels put taxes on $4000000000.00 worth of imports from america and those in turn were a response to u.s. charges on $7500000000.00 worth of goods at the core of this dispute is washington's long running claim that europe is unfairly subsidizing aircraft maker airbus giving an edge there for over u.s. rival boeing responding to the latest salvo from the white house brussels accused today of undermining current efforts to solve the dispute. the us action unilaterally disrupts the ongoing negotiation between the commission and u.s.t.r. to find a settlement to the long lasting aircraft disputes you can take the position that all this tariff policy is sort of a personal vendetta by donald trump against the europeans i personally do not share
3:21 am
that view my reading is that this is a sign of an overall return of protectionist policies that he days of the free international free trade and the mileage illiterate formats are over and i see this less bound to or a president in the us then to this general trend tariffs are always damaging for producers and customers both so i see this the overall significance of the decision i see less in diminishing in the wish to demonstrate somebody but give a clear sign by the us that the future will be not as the past wars and the word to. america 1st survive his presidency french officials warn those sanctions could cost its wine industry more than a 1000000000 euro. head of the country's independent wine producers federation urges
3:22 am
brussels and to end this playmakers dispute warning it is spreading to other sectors. sure. for the last few years the revenue of independent us wine producers which takes 1st place in the value of x. or its of our product has dropped by nearly 200000000 euros today we are suffering because of the mistakes of the 2 aircraft manufacturers american and european this of course is totally unjust because people working in our industry didn't do anything wrong with our industry didn't deserve such a punishment nevertheless our sector is paying the highest price i think france is about to lose from 502700 1000000 euros net return on this market it's very important to get out of this taxation system and urgently adopt a resolution that will abolish all of those taxes imposed by the e.u. and us that way we can avoid the constantly rising tensions and economic
