the mainstream media blamed for the deadly riots on capitol hill others point the finger elsewhere when it comes to radicalise and his base. this is banana republic that we're watching happen this is what you expect to see in a banana republic. american politicians voice their shock comparing the violence in the heart of washington to the kind of thing that happens and what they call banana republics and look at whether america is really so different to one of those.

also the sour face but blocks trumps account at least for the rest of his term accusing him of undermining the peaceful transition of power. and chancellor merkel warns that the toughest months of the pandemic are still ahead for germany despite mass vaccination having already started. this is art international coming to you straight from the russian capital with a live news update welcome to the program. donald trump has just 12 days left in office but the democrats are trying to get him removed even earlier than that they kissed him of inciting the riots on capitol hill when mobs of his supporters went on a deadly rampage through the heart of american democracy trump essence condemned what happened but the media are not letting him off the hook. the demonstrators who

infiltrated the capitol have defiled the seat of american democracy to those who engage in the acts of violence and destruction you do not represent to our country the president of the united states is co-leader really a danger and threat to the republic what has he done in terms of incitement right and some of bin ladin didn't do we will all remember you because when the cool you in a bold and you support it is finally mounted and you are barricaded inside cowering in fear because it finally affects you a.b.c.'s political director even said in a noun deleted tweets that while getting rid of trump is not difficult cleansing his followers would be a challenge when it comes to the radical radicalization of time space there are many factors at play as artie's kilmartin explains. wednesday january 6th are permanently burned into our minds they'll be quite hard to forget.

right. the media seems surprised that such a thing could happen it's very very strange school to think today was a day filled with surreal who would have ever believed we would see anything like this really see real moments i've never seen before this is exactly the kind of language we are used to reading in the us press release to american citizens who might be in a city in the middle east during the crisis or a riot of this nature is well if you've been paying attention to american politics the last 4 years you really wouldn't be surprised this is the current directory that the united states has been headed down with both democrats and republicans leading us down this path. has been an expert at playing his supporters against the

democrats from the beginning the left wing extremist right to a ratio of voters eliminator police these people are lunatics these phoneys these the do nothing democrats washington democrats people. losing their minds decrees meanwhile democrats have their own words to describe from supporters you could put half of trump's supporters into what i call the basket of deplorable zx many who support the president administration are either racists steeped in racist religious beliefs ignorant or as my mother used to say just plain dumb from the moment trump was inaugurated the rhetoric has been getting uglier remember michelle obama is when they go low we go high well it's morphed into this you know when they go low. you know. you know they go lol we keep. the hate and division has grown so intense that donald trump warning and shake

hands with top democrats in congress. every moment is seen as an opportunity to score political points things over and. everyone's through is divide people not unite people and all this is a president who has used everything as a dog whistle. raese what's going on and he doesn't want to say law and order because he can't because he'll lose his radical live supporters. and the media has been fueling the fire nonstop hey joe you were in washington for 47 years what the hell did you do to improve our lot during those 47 years. inability to restrain himself overshadows his talent for undermining democracy joe

biden himself doesn't have particularly strong views on anything these days except maybe once in a now and no one in the room likes kamel harris according to john l. j. trump the election is not free and fair if he is not the victor but now they're surprised really. artsy new york. and i say whistleblower william binah says media tax or something trumps had to put up with since the start of his political career. before the president trying to go up as they were after him they were against him from the very beginning i mean it's a part of the swamp i mean all this rhetoric about them all it's tens of thousands of people down there in washington d.c. terrorists it wasn't them they they had it they are going to shake my head video i saw today although nobody in the mainstream media say this that video where the washington police were escorting bus loads of people in in-car the word fitting in with the the from supporters to make america great had to and so on i believe those

people who broke in should be arrested and tried but but the rest the vast majority they were not terrorists they weren't doing a damn thing they were sitting there protesting as it is their right to do one of the constitution part of their whole thing is they're trying to keep us quiet this whistleblowers are not letting us get on mainstream media and we've been complaining about they had too many different media so it's not just it's not just what their actions are doing in washington and how they're subverting our constitution they're violating all the constitution in the state they're finally i mean everything that our country's founded on. and it's the democrats doing the mainstream media regurgitates their life that's why i stopped watching t.v. because you know i'm over here on our t.v. or some other place watching those watching your channels rather to get something on it at least factually reported honestly rather than listen to all the lies and propaganda and the distortions that they push out on main stream media t.v. year in the u.s. . has a lot to tweet again after being locked out of his account for 12 hours the media

platform gave the outgoing president a final warning have are saying that any future violations of twitter's rules what result any permit bay and facebook meanwhile has extended its suspension of trump's account applies to instagram as well and prevents trump from posting at least until joe biden takes office and that works c.e.o. mark zuckerberg says the president's last message posed a threat to u.s. democracy. we believe the risks of allowing the president to continue to use all service during this period is simply too great therefore we are extending the broke we've placed on his facebook and instagram accounts indefinitely and for at least the next 2 weeks until the peaceful transition of power is complete social media companies are huge and they fear nobody but government they cannot afford to have laws made that restrain them or especially break them up like the bell telephone company was broken up 50 years ago for monopolizing it of course section $230.00

the law that gave them freedom from that is insulation from being sued for slander or libel because they claim they are just platforms even though they constantly manipulate and limit content which is what a publisher does and publishers should be available to be sued if they slander someone but platforms probably not like a stage in a theater or like air the medium of communication is the platform and if they meddle with the content they're no longer a platform they're publisher and so donald trump is trying to take that protection against slander suits away from them another reason they are so against trump the what you're seeing now is their perception that drum has lost his power to do anything to them and they're going after him 100 percent this 2 week band will turn into a permanent band trump will no longer be seen on facebook or twitter ever again and it awful lot of us fans of donald trump and i am certainly a big one will be treated the same way i don't expect to last the year on facebook

or twitter all living former u.s. presidents have condemned the violence at the capitol rock obama called it a great dishonor and a shame for the nation while george w. bush granted it an insurrection or the other banana republic of war here's our senior correspondent ron gusta. these scenes a usually an act of desperation i reproved heston's and disenchanted view does storming parliament and government pub pounds willed water from bolivia to get stung or what america didn't expect was to find itself on that least this is how elections the disputed in a banana republic not solid democratic republic but nona republic usually an unstable country with a huge wealth gap and reliant on the export of limited resources so how could this happen to america a nation that exploited regime change and revolution the new bully we salute the

courage and strength to believe in people who have protested against a government trying to steal an election the united states supports the courageous decision by juan puerto the president of your national assembly to assert that body's constitutional powers declare madeira are your serp are and call for the establishment of a transitional government with 15 weeks of protests jason hometown a centrist john a staring message to the rest of the world about the trains of freedom and justice turns out it's not soufan when it happens to you today was a dark day in the history of the united states capitol we witnessed yesterday was not the scent. it was not disorder it was not protest it was chaos a shameful course made on our democracy it was an embarrassment and dual sides came out of this looking ugly the right to storming america's quaint temple of democracy

the left for pretending they're actually against violent protests despite months of riots and violent b.l.m. demonstrations and it's a fiasco of the season the sort of thing that's supposed to happen in america this is banana republic that we're watching happen this is what you expect to see in a banana republic journalists with equally confused a feeling of disbelief seemed to grip them to surreal i feel like i'm talking to a correspondent reporting from the you know bogota c.n.n. quickly became the subject of ridicule online as they haven't been attempts to storm the colombian parliament in decades to into also had a stellar movement listing who and why do venezuela's self-proclaimed president among the leaders who condemned what happened in capitol hill who won why do over the past few years has repeatedly attempted to vile and seizure of power attacks an

army base and even climbed over the parliament fence himself. what happened will stay in america's record for good this isn't something that you can just forget the halls of congress should the fault and the terrible precedent set but it's not only politicians wasting concern of our america some lends to countries that washington brown's undemocratic era some of the b.s. being expressed around the world. hope it's like a civil war kind of like science fiction. in the past the united states was a model of development and democracy but we can't say they're a model of democracy anymore. this is totally unacceptable because it means excuse the term to spit on what is supposed to be the constitution the will of the people to spit on the image of

a civil state in 2021 or more of the now they claim that they have democracy for their own people but i would call it a false democracy because it doesn't exist and it's all made up the only try to show a bad image of our countries saying that our countries are not developed and disorganized these very. pro-american references to a banana republic harkens back to that of colonialism when the us invaded that eye which is 14 salim's in the beginning of the 20th century you want to project that this is a pristine democracy because how can the justify tensions with. one mosque down. in holcim in a city if they don't have their old house in order for us let's be very clear we're talking about a democracy for the plutocrats and technocrats and big capital big money then yes the united states is

a democracy if we're talking about democracy by and for the people not by and for the rich the ruling class. in the united states is a disgrace in sharon's a very serious measure of democracy last president like come on harris has said that the way the place reacted during the capitol hill riot was very different from how they behaved during the black lives matter protests outside the same building. we witnessed 2 systems of justice one we saw one that led extremist storm of the united states capitol. and another that released tear gas on peaceful protesters last summer.

former senate foreign policy adviser jim violence that protest is tolerated only in certain cases. all along this year we've been seeing great destruction of our cities in the name you know racial justice and so forth and there has been sort of a deferential attitude toward these riots like will these people are upset because george floyd so forth they have been able good calls behind them and i think we see mr bines remarks is not so much an objection to what happened at the capitol yesterday which by the way was nowhere near as destructive as what we've been seeing from black lives matter in n.t.p. all year but rather to demonize the people themselves to say that people who question the conduct of this election and that's what's at fault the cause behind

their actions is what's really at fault and i think one with the things we're going to see is they're going through the book and anybody was ever identified as going to the capitol here you're going to be prosecutor they're going to be thrown in jail for decades probably in a way that no complete reverse of what come all of this was not done to the people were burning down america's cities this summer. still had the u.s. has backed down any tariff or with france saying it will not be slapping import taxes on luxury items including cosmetics and handbags details on that story and more after that. to me it's order his life because the complications do you understand. it brings spontaneous order because it's the hardest money ever in history human gold did

a fairly decent job for many years thousands of years but it got entirely financial ice 2008 and spent relegated to status.

welcome back to the program the us has shelves plans to slap new tariffs on french luxury goods they were proposed last year and retaliation for paris taxing the large tech firms are to his correspondent charlotte simmons he picks up the story. well this is a huge step down from washington that was due to impose these additional taxes over the last few days on french luxury goods such as handbags but also on things such as cosmetics that were exported to the u.s. this would have added some 25 percent to those products in terms of cost and would have brought in around $1300000000.00 in terms of additional taxes now this was all in a dispute over the so-called gaffa tax this is a tax france has been talking about imposing on digital giants here in france on

the revenues and the profits that they create here in france this is tech companies such as amazon such as google facebook and the u.s. has long said that taxing these companies for their profits in france in france would have been unfair this is what the u.s. trade representative is now saying the u.s. trade representative has decided to suspend the tariffs in light of the ongoing investigation of similar digital service taxes adopted all under consideration in 10 other jurisdictions those investigations have significantly progressed but have not yet reached a determination or possible trade actions well of course these taxes would have hit the exporters but the reality is they would have also hit consumers like you annoy you so if you're somebody who lives in the u.s. and you like a particular french brand of makeup such as lipstick you'd been paying 25 percent more for it tangy been buying it if these taxes had been put on the here in france

we know that the digital giants and said that they would be looking at passing on those costs to consumers here so it could have meant that french consumers would have had to pay more say for their cloud services but of course this is now not going to happen at least for the moment but france isn't the only country in the e.u. that has been discussing how it taxes these digital giants for the profits made in european countries. we take note of the hughes decision to postpone his unilateral trade measures against france relating to his digital service tax we stand ready to engage with the u.s. to find a solution however all such issues should be resolved at the world trade organization but let's be clear these taxes have been suspended they have been taken off the table completely and they could come to bite in the future and this is not the only tax dispute there is going on at the moment between the e.u. and the us there's also this

a long running dispute over subsidies given to the aircraft makers boeing that is seen in the us and look to slap on fresh taxes in the next few days on certain french products such as french wine and spirits say that is causing huge concern in that industry an industry itself pushing much decimated like many others during the 19 pandemic and the e.u. has also issued retaliatory taxes. that too on some u.s. goods that come here to europe so it seems that trump may be about to leave office and next 3 days biden might be coming into a fresh new white house administration but the tensions do remain high on taxes and trade between the u.s. and the e.u. . the german chancellor has warned that the most difficult months of the pandemic still lie ahead and national lockdown has been extended until the end of january

and germany has launched a massive vaccination program but it's not going as smoothly as hoped as part of our explains. germany's vaccination program had been criticized for moving at a glacial pace but once it got under way just over a week ago it was to much fanfare. this is the beginning of the end of the pandemic then we started to see expectations begin to be road back i mean you have delivered 1300000 work seems to the federal sees 200 than 65000 have been vaccinated but you have to take into consideration that there is still room to improve. then turned into angular merkel's government coming in for harsh criticism for the way they've handled this. in the face of the high infection numbers and the dramatic number of deaths it has rights to extend the lock down and we will surely only see a change after we have started properly vaccinating we have excellent vaccination centers but far too few vaccines health minister again spawn has come in 1st

something of a roasting in writing this week from his party's coalition partners the social democrats their leader germany's vice chancellor and finance minister all at schultz demanding to know why it appeared that the country hadn't ordered enough doses of the vaccine other developed nations have ordered significantly higher vaccine quantities in relation to population. mr schultz isn't the only one putting the boot in on the angle of merkel's government's handling of this phase of the pandemic the house being further calls from within the ruling coalition for a full investigation bundestag and european parliamentary level ms merkel and mr spawn a swore in the oath of office to prevent harm to the german people he had both entrusted the procurement of the vaccines to am it is hundreds of thousands of elderly people

and can home staff who waiting for their vaccines and the european idea itself and now suffering from their failure this scandal must be cleared up health minister yen spahn insists that enough doses of the vaccine were ordered and that germany having not received them is down to production issues not a lack of preparedness 'd he has made the promise that everyone in germany that wants a vaccine will be able to get worn by the middle of this year despite that promise it's hard to deny that it's not everything has gone smoothly. germany was held of his wall of lawyers nations that handled the early phases of

the pandemic best but there has been a sharp increase in the number of deaths connected to covert 19 here in recent weeks and with an election coming up in september everything the current government does is being tracked and traced her all over r.t. . the rest key technologies are said to further disrupts 2021 that's according to the center for and evading the future it claims new attack is changing the very structure of business and history politics and society.

how will a i make decisions and what i did decisions will make regarding people's skin color or gender or religion or social economic status. or knowledge or company have become just as important in government and this is illegal to grow in the future with jesse who literally it uses social media everything in their lives and when it comes to all it takes will be using social media even more. every nation right now wants to become a tech power and to do that we have to attract this talent in the world of talent engineers are scientists. but.

when you look at designer babies you look at the idea that very soon we will be editing the personality with the skin color or the i.q. of future children this these kind of people believe these are going to push countries in very different orders and that again the established rules based order gets disrupted ready. lastly we bring you some news in brief from around the world. indian farmers have come out in force on their tractors they're unhappy about a new law that says they will see them lose money is freed up the farming sector and remove state aid. space x.
