good you will. be going in there. this is a day after britain finally quits the e.u. people and businesses report being tangled up and red tape and bitterness. the u.k. has given the will. of god very little in return the bigots in time to meet it's just going to be troubling really not feeling like i am a european anymore an. utter desperation i mean even suicides a french restaurant owner tells us the appalling plight of people in his sector of the economy collapses and that fresh curfews and lunch counts. it was my neighbor who 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 me and. after another fatal shooting by police at the same city where officers killed george floyd whose death in may is still sparking rallies across the country . watching r t international coming to you straight from the russian capital with a live news update this hour. britain officially quit the e.u. just a day ago but it's already hitting roadblocks sometimes quite literally trucks bound for europe are being turned back with the wrong paperwork and many remain ors are even refusing to accept the countries out of the bloc now artist reports.

and so began the downswing new age of an independent britain and my goodness was it tasty starting 2021 with a lovely brick sit breakfast after 40 years of wed to bliss the u.k. is out on its own we saw the fast ferry leave post 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 to ireland it wasn't such a pleasant the new well it has been quiet and wholly had so far today the port authority indicates that 6 freight loads bound for 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 post-breakfast spirit regrets in britain that's a particularly strong in scotland where the majority feeling that they'd be better off by could 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 the new found 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 us very very soon the u.k. has given the will our. son got very little in return it's just going to make life 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. 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 what while others have gone to extremes doing a deep dive into family archives praying that they can find some long lost friend an italian it really doesn't matter a great great aunt 3 times american made not the mat 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 freedom in our hands and up to us to make the most of it while it might be a freedom fountain of boris's hands but as restlessness disillusionment and division and britannia grow that's the sense that the only thing britons are left holding the empty promises. sauced him mention their scottish leaders are using bricks it to push for an independent scotland rejoining the e.u. but local journalist and writer david jimson says people don't know what they're getting into. the idea of all independent scottish membership of the european union on nobody knows what nobody knows what basis and it's a totally untested proposition before the scottish government we know that 62

percent voted for the for the u.k. has membership of the european union in store but that would be wildly different for all scotland's membership let's remind ourselves as well that the european union is a very different organization for its major states its largest states late france germany and formally u.k. it's a very different proposition for its much smaller states and i think if there isn't debate on a future in the pain of scotland's membership of the european union then those issues will come sharply into focus and we should expect is that stores will be more critical of the idea than they were in the 2016 referendum when of course they were voting for a much larger state to stay in the european union there are many more dangers facing scotland joining the european union as

a new small state. france or courted $26000.00 new cases of covered on new year's eve the highest daily rate since november the government's responded by tightening curfews. of this we don't want to implement a nationwide or local lowdown so if we will propose an extension of the curfew which instead of starting at 8 pm we'll still it's 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 curfew is bars and restaurants remain closed over the festive period and it extends months of restrictions that have taken a devastating toll on the hospitality industry restaurant owner in the minute described to us the desperate state people are in and how his neighbor is even driven to take her own life. so i've been living in la trinité so for 16 years i have 12 hotel rooms into restaurants we serve from 40250000 per year

we employ 12 people during the winter period and around 22 people during the summer period so being suddenly left without work for 5 months is not easy our communist pressure allies did 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 a 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 the numbers even higher the french economy had already suffered double digit falls by the spring when the 1st line down came in that business is deemed non-essential were hit much harder still the hospitality sector contracting 50 percent and the problems remain despite present micron's government pledging support for can companies in trouble on ai again breaks down the terrible a fact of the crisis on workers and their families. as 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. and from the french hospitality trade 2 french wine makers who also have other pressures they

are furious about a huge spat between the u.s. and e.u. playmakers that left grape growers paying the band's new tariffs explain why later in the program. just months after the police killing of george floyd in minneapolis sparked vast protests nationwide the city is on edge again over another fatal shooting by officers on wednesday night at least body cam footage of the incident a warning you may find the following video upsetting. the incident took place outside a gas station the one place where trying to arrest a suspects the victim's been identified as 23 year old all his parents who are somali immigrants say their son was just sitting in this car an up close later raided their family home however according to officers the suspect opened fire from

his vehicle 1st. my view of the video in the pool area from ation 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 trained to protect the community members lives and their own the latest protest took place near where george floyd was killed and may here's a recap of how anti police brutality demonstrations have developed in the last year .

artie's kill a mob and looks at how the massive rallies that are still happening across america sparked by floyd staff 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. well 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 protesters who were sending to law enforcement. portland was totally out of control the democrats and liberal democrats run into players and no idea what they were doing they made a point of abducting protesters covering their faces and i'm sticking to engage local officials opposed drums move and on july 30th they struck a deal for the feds to back down 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. the you.

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 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 may be looked back on as a turning point in u.s. history salem up and r.t. new york. historian gerald horne says international attention on black victims in the u.s. does have an effect. how we can turn to what happened in april 960 in the united states after nobel laureate dr markham to change the skill at that particular

moment you had him straight in well to there is another aspect of what's happening today in a sense does on places i mean the demonstrations global if you look historically at the struggles of black americans what you'll find is the one of the ways we've made progress in the past is because to the international solidarity and so that gives me hope for the future and one of the problems with assume you're the leader there do such a lot and that is a direct result of the plan for 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 into sheol and kills 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. so hard and is really orchestras arabic these are music to the ears of those who want to bend their regions violence that's among our stories after this break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going foundation let it be an arms race is on off and spearing dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

the world is driven by a dream shaped by one percent of those great. thinks . we dare to ask. welcome back to the program the u.s. has slapped major tariffs on your products and they took it for tat moves explaining the decision the german ministration accused europe of over reacting to

the previous round of washington's penalties the you may do not the jurors that info increase the amount of root to waste in the you need to take some measure to compensate for this and. well a this in u.s. law 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 7 point $5000000000.00 of goods at the core of the dispute is washington's long running claim that europe is unfairly subsidizing aircraft maker air bus giving an edge over u.s. rival boeing responding to the latest salvo from the white house press accused of undermining current efforts to solve their dispute. 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 they days of the free international free trade and the multi-layered reformers 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 us that the future will be not as the possibles and the words 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 independent wine producers federation urges brussels to end the playmakers dispute orning it's spreading to other sectors. 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 connected with geo political interests. now for some moral news in brief party growers torch a police car and hold stones and bottles at officers trying to break up a huge multi day french illegal rave attended by thousands from across the continent the participants admitted ignoring social distancing despite the country's suffering its worst covert outbreak in months interior minister said a criminal probe spent opened in numerous infringements including use of drugs. some new yorkers have seen in the new year with a dip in freezing water dozens raced into the ocean in an annual event known as the polar bear plunge despite it being officially cancelled due to the pandemic. from one stretch of water to another more than a 100000 swans have taken to the caspian sea in kazakhstan and beautiful site takes
