j h m n equals betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. we must end this civil war. the pits really just blew you u.s. president joe biden violence to end what he calls the civil war between democrats and republicans but just hours after his inauguration speech of rest broke out in a number of states including oregon where the democratic party's headquarters was about. the gushing mainstream media swoons over the new commander in chief's inauguration speech he's guess the bait for america's really can be healed anytime soon. either we're going to resolve these issues peacefully through the battle of ideas or in 10152100 years we will resolve them violently is just

a full blown a song she will eliminate the way sri any opposition and eat any political dissent that's going to challenge you know the radical left and. the powerful blast caused by a gas leak rips through a residential building in madrid killing 4 people we hear from eyewitnesses at the scene. heard a massive explosion and we all ran outside to take. it on and when we went outside the rubble in the street. for joining us midday here in moscow this is. joe biden's been sworn in as the $46.00 president of the united states it brings to a close donald trump's 4 years in office but a deep divisions in american society just hours after the inauguration people took their discontent to the streets.

portland protesters faced off with riot police officers fired tear gas at the crowd earlier mobile descended on the democratic party's offices in the city and smashed windows that seattle also saw violence with protesters there creating barricades and starting fires in the streets. inauguration ceremony itself was like no other security was so high d.c. some say resembled the walls at an unprecedented 25000 national guard were called in to avoid a repeat of scenes like the ones 2 weeks earlier at the capitol hill riots the unrest seen across america came despite biden in his speech stressing he would strive to bring unity. we must end this civil war. pits really against blue. rural versus urban or rural versus urban

conservative versus liberal. we can do this if we open our souls to so harden our hearts if we show a little tolerance and you know. and if. we're willing to stand in the other person's shoes as my mom would say just for a moment stand in the shoes really this is something that joe biden tries to put on this cloak of a peacemaker someone in a surgical mask you know tending to and mending the wounds of the american democracy but as much as joe biden is trying to make it look like it's so when together the fabric of the american society well this is science he is not stitching together that easily because in effect what joe biden is doing so far his actions have been have boiled down to dismantling everything that donald trump has done in the past 4 years essentially joe biden he's expected to sign some 17

executive orders just on the 1st day in office this includes bringing america back into the world health organization into signing back the purse climate accord dismantling the infamous border wall that trump just kept throwing money at and still failed to erect and so on and so forth there's plenty of policies that joe biden has a big problem with but one thing that joe biden does have and what donald trump didn't and still doesn't have is the world overwhelming support of the mainstream media just have a listen to this those lights that are that are just shooting out from the lincoln memorial i look it's like almost extensions of joe biden's arms embracing america president elect joe biden and vice president harris told. good grief and regret out of the privacy of our hearts if just for a moment so that we all could share it he doesn't keep a lot of things secret when it comes to his emotions and his and his family and his

love for his family those were some very passionate words just putting it diplomatically like joe biden's arms reaching out yeah very very passionate very passionate and very graphic well but again just imagine so the very 1st day this is the kind of slack that the mainstream media are giving joe biden because well they just they just giving him credit for just being there for just getting into the white existing just for existing the already love him and cherish him and wild with trump it was completely different with trump the media war with against him started instantly like with when various outlets were comparing his inauguration crowd with the obama's inauguration crowd and someone like you know getting down to the very single to single person you know nit picking in the smallest of details because sometimes he was criticized very rightly so by the media but very often they were

just you know what you need through it and with joe biden it isn't happening and more on top of that some media analysts and media figures they already have a well. planned those who voted for trump there are millions of americans. work and. somehow need to be deprogrammed they are members of a cult cult there are republican members of congress i know who clearly have lost their minds who just will not accept reality when it comes to the facts about donald trump i'm comparing the words of. individual who would incite them radicalize somebody as osama bin laden did to what president trump did right now with such love the. joe biden gets from the media he has risking. not being the peacemaker that he seems to want to be but rather deepening the crisis was by

failing to understand why tens of millions of people more than 70 millions of people voted against him the media coverage of the inauguration left a bad taste in some people's mouths including legal and media analyst lionel i've instructed my family in the event i were to somehow ingest some poison and you rushed me to an emergency room and you had to induce emesis vomiting for those at home if you don't have any syrup of ipecac please played today's media coverage because i think i would upchuck it was the worst shakhtar in this is an a dying nonsense the best of the best was a fellow by the name of chris wallace who was on fox news facts news much which used to be considered conservative whatever that means and he said that he's been covering inaugurations since 1961 says j.f.k.

ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country when we had stentorian oratory the only thing we have to fear is fear itself and chris wallace said with a straight face this was the best inaugural address. he's ever hurt. i'm in a parallel universe imagine every cliche everything you've ever heard thrown into a hat and just pulled out and read and this this finding this almost. cult like it is incantations up. staged at the u. unity and what did he do within the 1st he went straight to the white house walked in and basically reversed a number of serious executive orders that president trump had such initially so in

the day when he wanted to say we're all coming together we're all coming together the 1st he does is give me that pen i mean there you go there's your unity. during a speech to know said america needs to confront white supremacist an apparent reference to certain trump supporters. a rise of political extremism white supremacy domestic terrorism that we must confront and we will defeat. highly charged phrases like domestic terrorism bandied about by democrats surprise sides biden especially in the mainstream media have led to accusations of aggravating tensions on to america spends one spoke to his podcast guests about the incendiary language coming from the blue camp. but we constantly use language to to demonize and dehumanizing people on the other side it's leading us towards

very drastic measures you're exactly right that it's dangerous and to call your next door neighbor who is a white male who voted for trump the mystic terrorist is not going to result in a good downstream effects and i always tell people there's only 2 options either we're going to resolve these issues peacefully through the battle of ideas or in 10152100 years we will resolve them violently add a moment where there is such rage toward the losing side i don't think we've ever seen this happen before where rather than taking a victory lap rather than celebrating the win we're seeing almost like what you might call a sore winner is that is that how you would describe it the democrat party and their alliance with the tax notional media and tyrants to eliminate any boy starting any opposition any any political dissent that's going to challenge you know the radical left agenda and so you're talking about your politics people have

a reason to be scared one side is not allowed to speak and it's more than just not speaking is it not it's you don't have the right to speak and we're going to talk in your place in your stead about how you must be deprogrammed this is not a new phenomenon right this has been happening under the eyes and noses of lawmakers here in our country who have just decided to turn a blind eye to that because like you said it's easy for people to say well you know these things aren't happening or they can't happen on a bigger scale because you know maybe those people should have just found little quiet or you know maybe they were a bit you controversial ok then a now president biden about president biden due to to assure people that hey we're not all in the me here and we don't have to be in a means we don't have to continue to have the. as is growing animosity there's a part of america that feels left behind for whatever reason they feel forgotten and you know that neither the political parties back them. into that base in

a considerable way so i think to bring unity we need someone to talk to that base there is talk of how do we deal with a troll supporters to extremely hypocritical one of the things that most one of the things that a lot of drum opponents criticize donald trump for is that he is divisive and that he is polarizing and that he harms unity right so for people to say that and then at the same time be talking about you know reprogramming 75000000 americans or d. platforming them or trying to silence them or calling them you know nazis or nazi enablers all these very very you know inflaming terms it's extremely hypocritical because they're doing the exact same thing but actually far worse than what they complain that donald trump or even some of his supporters have been doing and it's weird how people can sort of see that blind spot due to their own political biases respond on sweeping changes to trump's domestic policies some are

wondering if that will be the same dramatic shift in america's foreign policy i guess the it has more. it all depends on where you stand for some biden's inauguration may be the beginning of 4 sad years for others it's a light at the end of a dark dog tunnel the united states is back and europe stands ready to reconnect we don't old and trusted partner to breathe new life into our cherished alliance if only it were that simple trumps raid cond be easily undone old bones have been broken some irreparably so but some and only some can be salvaged we do have. a big task ahead of us in restoring revitalizing those relationships i do think it starts with showing up again some of our allies and partners question the sustainability of our commitments based on the experience of the last recent years

and that's going to be a hard hard hill to climb anyone hoping for a revolution a rethinking of american foreign policy a sadly going to be disappointed the new administration has inherited and braced trumps hostility to china for example so if you open for an end to the trade war that terrified so saber rattling you're outta luck i also believe that president trump was right in taking a tougher approach to china i disagree very much with the way that he won about it in a number of areas but the basic principle was the right one the nominee for secretary of defense lloyd austin very much agrees with the nominee for secretary of state highlighting 2 primary potential threats to america clearly the strategy will be arrayed against the threat and then china is is presents the most

significant threat going forward because china is ascending russia is all sorts right but it's it's in decline they are. also approve of trump's middle east policy specifically a huge diplomatic push to get muslim nations to establish relations with israel oh and the new you recognize capital of israel jerusalem abstaining 2 as is the rift in a 2 caused by turkey buying things it shouldn't such as russian missile systems turkey is an ally that in many ways is not acting as a now i should and this is a very very significant challenge for us and we're very clear eyed about it they also approve of trump's middle east policy they've already said they'll do everything in their power to stop the new gas pipeline being built by europe and russia which presumably includes sanctions against european nations no mention of

the withdrawal of troops from afghanistan there presumably staying for a 20th year or 2 trumps record spending in the military no sign of that going away in fact the new administration believes defense capability should be increased even further there is one stark difference between trump's and biden's foreign policies it's iran in my judgment the. for whatever its limitations are succeeding on its own terms in blocking iran's pathways to producing for some material for nuclear weapons on short order. there you have it the only stark difference between america's old and new foreign policies donald trump may be gone but his political spirit lives on in the new administration joe quite terrifying i think to a lot of countries that will hope that his presidency does not mean

a return to war. as was personified by barack obama in his libya and trencher i think another thing that we all fear is that biden was part of an obama administration that accelerates at the. ideas the diffusion of fundamentalist islam ism in the middle east isis al-qaeda so i think that is very worrying perhaps lincoln and others are thinking ok try and make some deal with iran civil tenuously fight iran by defacto helping islam ism but of course the big danger here is we're back to back to readers when the united states was supporting the mujahideen in afghanistan which led to the destruction of the twin towers and these are the sorts of foreign policy mind i got was the stack the senate foreign relations committee so it had to back the iraq war and then say it will changed because we heard from that speech full of the usual platitudes redolent of obama

and they all change because it by mistake and rule unless you're changing looting blinken and all the rest of that he's appointed around. coming up india's given the green light for russia some of the secrets of our fight seem to undergo face 3 trials in moscow also submitting the jump for approval by the european union a story more after the break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this spear in dramatic development that only. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

a powerful explosion in central madrid has destroyed a residential building owned by the catholic church at least 4 people have been killed 11 injured authorities say the explosion was caused by a gas leak eyewitnesses gave is their accounts of what happened. we were working near the building we heard a massive explosion and we all ran outside to help people but when we arrived smoke was coming out of the building had collapsed there was a pile of rubble on the ground. one of the seed was a gas leak i have no idea let's hope everything is ok but. the walls vibrating and we thought it was in the university and when we went outside of that rubble in the street one of our colleagues went out to rescue a person who was injured police began to arrive and evacuate the area they closed off the street so we could no longer see what was going on we only knew that there were many injured. that it seems to have been a gas explosion the city fire department is still working in the building inspecting the damage you can see it at the top 4 stories are destroyed

firefighters are also going through the surrounding buildings checking whether they are safe and. earlier we spoke with local journalist jaime velasquez who was at the scene of the blast. we see some flames at the bottom of the building still and we know that the 5 stories of the building the top of the building have seriously damaged there's a care home with 55 elderly people nearby these bilin and also a school the yard of the school was absolutely full of rubble after the explosion and fortunately not any of the populace of the school and also the residents of this care home were injured the police has also sent some canadian brigades on the rescue dogs to find out if they might have stills be somebody inside of the building they believe belonged to the church. it was the

residence of some priest and church workers the neighbors started recalled in with the phone right away with the flames and a lot of dust coming out of this building they were really worried about you know the situation finally when we found out that it was you know this buildings were not affected and it was just more reduced damage neighbor ceasar to to be more. calm but but definitely they were really really really worried and some of them they are still not able to go back to the buildings because it's not safe because the structure has been seriously damaged and the firefighters are now assessing what are they going to do with the building this is still some flames and at the bottom so this situation continues to be quite unstable and we don't know

exactly how it is going to play out what is going to happen with the building and when the neighbors will be able to go back to the homes. russia has submitted. a coronavirus vaccine for approval by the european union with the evaluation process expected to begin in february meanwhile the russian jobs being given the green light to phase 3 trials in india pharmaceutical company dr reddy's which is behind the trials in the country says it hopes to get approval by march before goes well 2nd degree will be used alongside the astra zeneca vaccine in india is a vaccine which is already being rolled out we spoke to dr reddy's managing director g.v. present about why they chose spinning me. the 1st roxanne's which are coming out in india i deserved for the government. have public workers and all that but there are many many many people who need access to these vaccines and hence more better and i do believe that sputnik is also

a very odd one strike scene and we hopeful that it will work very well we were very pleased with the science behind the vaccine as you are more it is a human lives. are used but this is a not one day then you have. different back doors. of order made vaccine and the booster doors that some other one day age of we also saw the safety data and also some if you can see did and the science behind how this vaccine was deadlocked and the platform which was in the ad if you want to know why it was like the best on. the platform was considered but it's there if you can see it not going to do you don't look very good saul given very privileged and honored to partner with the russian government. russian

government idea air to bring dislikes into india and back in russia the mass vaccination program is gaining momentum much to the delight of one foreign journalist. millionaire have russians came to be so wrong that already exist. so let's give it a shot. at israeli t.v. news anchor came to moscow to report on russia spending 3 champ but ended up getting it himself and share his thoughts with us on the banks thing. as you were aware russian accent was it didn't get much credit in the world because of the i wouldn't say haste but the speed that it was approved in russia so we honestly wanted to come in and ask and see an interview in the we approach and fortunately the russian fund for direct investment was receptive and do we visited the. institute and talked with mr ginsburg the head of family as you well aware and

talked with a researcher who was reask in and i think. there's something very generous of them to be the 1st to test it on themselves. see the effects and only then continue with the experiments and only then are committed to the splash you know to other western journalists already took the book seen in a 1000000 over a half of course of russian citizens did take the vaccine so i thought. yes why not let's try it it's a huge multi $1000000000.00 market and maybe some of the response to the russia book scene is nobody wanted their russian to take part in the cake in the party if you can call it that so i think the moment that the european medicine authority will sit on the papers going there and see kenny to prove be approved or not

will be a really important day for this and the coffee and of course i'll be happy for you if you get the approval. i bitch about it today to overturn with more on top stories and often out.
