speech of your pride you will know when you. go you must use what is. just a day after britain finally quit the people and business is reporting tangled up in red tape and bitterness. the key is given the will. of god very little in return that begins in time to meet it's just going to be traveling really not feeling like i am a european anymore. also this hour desperation and even suicides a french restaurant owner tells us the appalling plight of people in his sector as the economy collapses and the pressure curfew is on lockdown. because my neighbor lived right in front of my house had a restaurant for 2 generations 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. and minneapolis riots after another fatal shooting by police at the same city where officers killed george floyd his death in may is still sparking rallies across the country. good afternoon and welcome to the program this is art international coming to you live from the russian capital bring you your live news updates. britain officially quit the e.u. just a day ago but it's already hitting road blocks sometimes quite literally trucks bound for europe are being turned back with the wrong paperwork and many remainders are even refusing to accept the country's out of the block no. teller reports.

and so began the downswing new age of an independent britain and my goodness was it tasty starting 2021 with a lovely bridget breakfast after 14 years of wed to bliss the u.k. is out on its own we saw the fast ferry leave britain's shores cross the channel and dock and kalai while the 1st lorry to enter the euro tunnel after midnight might have been given a friendly go ahead for others trying to cross from wales and i meant it wasn't such a pleasant the new wealth has been quiet and holy has so far today the port authority indicates that 6 freight loads arlen's have had to be turned away due to not have the correct references but being nearly bogged down in red tape isn't the only thing dampening the spirit regret and bitterness 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 the people who are nervous about the road ahead i would say as a young person my focus is mainly being on money travelling europe and education and that opportunity might be taken away from my very very sick the u.k. has given the will our. got very little in return it's just going to make life a lot were 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 over a pity possible out 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 free 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. the 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. to discuss the situation further we're joined live by a scottish journalist and writer david jamieson from the noise of scotland's pro europe an anti breaks it crowd right now you think there's only one opinion on the subject north of the border is that the case. no it isn't though it should be stressed is of course true the stores quoted by 62 percent to remain in the

european union and as meaningful. skolem's scores have been taken over of the european union against the well underlines the democratic deficit in the u.k. but it doesn't offer a clear way forward in terms of the s. and p. leadership so colmes independence in europe strategy because war. what we voted for in 2016. scottish membership via the u.k. of the european union is no longer on the table. war they simply leadership is advocating independence or membership of the european union is a totally new proposition there's no 62 percent for the so really there's all to play for her so what do you make of scotland's later than tweeting that the country will be back soon to. well this is

a very untested idea in scottish politics and the slogan hasn't asked anyone or regarding this issue she hasn't laid out a war scotland's membership of the european union and would look like what terms with danger on even which currency we would be using more and she still hiding behind the attitudes that scorns membership of the european union would look very much latent the ukase membership of the european union but there's no reason to think that you do you. had a highly bespoke membership of the european union and was of course the european union right from the start of the project even. so i. even before the beginning of the project. told us.

so what's go and would have in terms of independent membership would be completely different from the u.k. . well if you were a betting man what odds would you give to scotland actually quitting britain and rejoining the e.u. and what kind of dangers would be involved in that. well there's an acute contradiction when it comes to. scottish membership of the european union. apologies. which is that. the. david i understand you're having some issues so we'll go ahead and leave it there we've been speaking to journalist and writer david davis and they give your time and your comments. in other news france recorded 26000 new cases of coded on new year's eve the highest daily rate since november

the governments responded by tightening nighttime curfews. at this stage we don't want to implement a nationwide or local lowdown however 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. as i have from the curfews bars and restaurants remain closed over the festive period that extends months of restrictions that have taken a devastating toll on the hospitality industry restaurant owner that minute describe to us the desperate state people are in and how is major neighbor was even driven to take her own life. so i've been living in la trinité so male for 16 years i have 12 hotel rooms and 2 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 specialized 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 sensitives 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. a poll from a french socialist think tank suggest a quarter of all artists and traders usually after seeing their income plunge have considered suicide and for those who lost their jobs and numbers even higher the french economy had already suffered double digit falls by the spring when the 1st a lockdown came in but business is deemed nala central were hit much harder still with the hospitality sector contracting 50 percent and the problem remain this despite present micron's government pledging support for companies in trouble when you again breaks down the terrible a fact of the crisis on workers and their families. it's for me if you want to close bars and restaurants that don't follow protocol that's fine but on the other hand most of my colleagues have scrupulously respected all the rules that have been imposed on us and today there is no study which proves that restaurants are a source of infection when you see people crowding in the subway i don't understand

why there is less danger in supermarkets or in the subway than in 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 presence we'll sell all our toys instead to earn money to have food. go of it continues to impact the world and from the french hospitality trade to french wine makers who also have other pressures to they are serious about it here it's a battle between us and play makers of left and grape grower is paying

a vast new tariffs explain why later in the program. just months after the police killing of george floyd in minneapolis sparked massive protests nationwide the city's raging at once again dozens have been held in rallies over a fatal shooting by officers on wednesday night authorities have released body can put it of the incident and warning you may find the following video disturbing. incident took place outside a gas station one place we're trying to arrest a suspect the victim's been identified as 23 year old. as parents who are somali immigrants say their son was just sitting in his car and that police later raided their family home however according to officers the suspect opened fire from his vehicle. by view of the video in the area information that also mention that

a witness saw the individual fire 1st at the officers my officers were reacting to 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 trying to protect the community members lives and their own well a this protest took place near where george floyd was killed in may here's a recap of how anti police brutality demonstrations have developed in the last year .

are to scale up in looks at how the massive rallies that are still happening across america sparked by floyd's death are being seen as a turning point in the country's history. for just a minute we'll roll back to 2017 in charlottesville.

news flashes of a battle between leftists and white supremacists heather higher killed when a right winger over 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 say. for. 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 u.s. 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. goal 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 crackdown on the protesters who were listening to 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 to a movement on july 30th they struck a deal for 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 nixon won the presidential election saying he stood for a silent majority that opposed peace marchers and civil rights activists and was disgusted by 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. historian gerald horne says international attention on black victims in the u.s. does have and the fact i would much of what happened. in the united states. to change. at that particular moment you had to

demonstrate chanson well there is another aspect of what's happening today in a sense distant places and i mean the demonstrations global if you look historically at the struggles of black americans what you'll find is that the one of the ways we've made progress in the past is because to mention national solidarity and so that gives me hope for the future one of the problems with to assume you're the leader there decentralized and that is a direct result of the power of black people in all of a centralized political war to the station such as the black panther party in the 1960 s. the government comes out their leaders and takes them and she you know and change them and so therefore they are used to have not only the you know people just fun to be asleep come to the streets now i understand that and but it does it makes it difficult to play and it makes it very difficult to channel that energy into

politics. so i had and was really orchestra of arabic melodies are music to the ears of those who want to end the bridge of violence from our stories to the break. the world is driven by a dream. there's things. we dared to ask.

welcome to the kaiser report 1st of the new year's day so we got an excellent deal on these christmas lights adorning the set i mean you know i took the money i saved i bought stats all right so i'm going to turn to peak or is the editor over a crack and he's also an advisor been coy magazine. welcome back the u.s. has flopped major tariffs on products and they take for tat move explaining the decision the trumpet ministration accused europe of overreacting to the previous round of washington's penalties the you may do not the tourists that info increase

the amount of routes away soon the u. needs to take some measure to compensate for the. the latest u.s. levy is 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 dollars of cuts at the core of the dispute is washington's long running claim that europe is unfairly subsidizing aircraft maker airbus giving an edge over u.s. rival boeing responding to the latest salvo from the white house brussels accuse it of undermining current efforts to solve their dispute. the u.s. 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 terrorist strike policy is sort of a personal vendetta by donald trump against the europeans i personally do not share

that view my reading is that this is a sign of an overall return of protectionist policies the heydays of the free international free trade and the multilateral 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 damage being in the wish to demonstrate somebody but give a clear sign by the u.s. that 'd the future will be not as the possibles and the word were by mr drum america 1st survive his presidency french officials warn the sanctions could cost its wine industry more than a 1000000000 euro. head of the country's and dependent wine producers federation

urges brussels to end the playmakers dispute warning it's 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 tension and economic instability
