show business i'll see their. name. from. unrest breaks out in a number of u.s. states as new president joe biden balanced and what he calls the uncivil war between democrats and republicans. we must win this on. the pitch really gives blue. the mainstream media swoons over the new commander in chief inauguration speech are to get us to pay whether america's bourne's really can be healed any time 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 assault to eliminate any point straight any opposition any any political dissent that's going to challenge you know the radical left agenda. and vaccine passports may soon become a reality if we can use citizens as the european commission considers introducing the controversial document. watching arts international bring you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. joe biden has been sworn in as the 46 president of the united states bringing a close to donald trump's 4 years in office but it made deep divisions in american society just hours after the inauguration people took their discontent to the streets.

and portland protesters face off with riot police officers fired tear gas into the crowd earlier a mob descended on the to democratic party's offices in the city where they smashed windows so also saw violence with protesters creating barricades and. starting fires in the streets inauguration ceremony itself was like no other with security so high up that d.c. it resembled a war zone and unprecedented 25000 national guard troops have been called in to avoid a repeat of scenes like the one seen 2 weeks earlier during the capitol hill siege and resting across the united states came despite biden and his speech stressing that he'd strive to bring about unity. we must end this civil war the pits read against blue. rural versus urban or rural versus urban conservative versus liberal. we can do this if we open our souls

so to harden our hearts if we show a little tolerance and humanity 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 the society 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 is 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 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 so one 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 clutching at straws and with joe biden it isn't happening and more on

top of that some media analysts and media figures they already have a. plan to those who voted for trump there are millions of americans are not so worried. and. somehow we need to be deprogrammed they are members of a cult we're trying to scold 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 in our parish and left a bad taste in some people's mouth 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 saccharin 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 heard. i'm in a parallel universe imagine every cliche everything you've ever heard. i just pulled out and read and this this finding this almost. cult like it is incantations of the stage 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 the president trumped 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 and there you go there's your unity during his speech joe biden also admitted america needs to confront a white supremacy and an apparent reference to certain trump supporters arise a political extremism white supremacy domestic terrorism that we must confront and we will defeat. highly charged phrases like domestic terrorism used by democrats apart from biden especially in the mainstream media have led to accusations of aggravating tensions r.t. america host ben swan spoke to his pond casque us about the 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 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 national media and tyrants to eliminate any boy straight 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 all quiet or you know maybe they were a bit too controversial ok n 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 enemies 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 if you know that neither the political parties back then and into that base in a considerable way i think to bring unity we need someone to talk to that base

there is talk of how do we deal with trying supporters to extremely hypocritical one of the things that most one of the things that a lot of trouble 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 this by buying sweeping changes to trump's domestic policies some are wondering if there

will be the same dramatic shift in america's foreign policy lagasse if has more. it all depends on where you stand for some biden's inauguration maybe the beginning of for sad year is for others it's a light at the end of a dog dog tunnel the united states is back and europe stands ready to reconnect wouldn't old and trusted partner to breathe new life into a 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 were hoping for an end to the trade war the tariff hikes or 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 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. also approve of trump's middle east policy specifically a huge diplomatic push to get muslim nations to establish relations with israel oh in the new year recognize capital of israel jerusalem abstain too 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 wright me a 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

venture 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 islam 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 islam 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 guess that return to stack the senate foreign relations committee so it had to back the iraq war and then say it all changed because we heard from that speech full of the usual platitudes redolent of obama how they all change because of biden as tanks and rule unless

you're changing cluing lincoln and all the rest of them that he's appointed around . still had any or has given the green light for russia sputnik me coronavirus fact seem to undergo face 3 trials of moscow office amending the job for providing european union details on a story and one of the. anyone else chose seemed wrong. why don't we just don't. let me. get to shape out the consequences. and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy from day shouldn't let it be an arms race is also a spearing dramatic development only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. welcome back up take on russia sputnik the vaccine is increasing with the united arab emirates being the latest country to register it for emergency use or in india

the russian job has also been given the green light for phase 3 trials are mystical company dr reddy's who is behind the trials in the country says they hope to get approval by march if all goes well and b. will be used alongside the astra zeneca vaccine and india's kovacs and which have already been rolled out we spoke to dr reddy's managing director about why they chose sputnik. deforest. like scenes which are coming out in india are reserved 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 the sputnik is also a very advanced vaccine and we're very hopeful that it will work with a vile we were very pleased with the science behind the vaccine as you know it has a humanized cells are used by this which is an advantage then you have 2

different backdoor. types of for the made vaccine and the poster those that's another advantage we also see the 50 data and also some if you can see that are and defiance behind how this vaccine will develop and the platform which was that if you were there to know why it is like the best platform. the platform was considered very safe the if you can see the data looks very good so we were very privileged and honored to partner with the russian. russian company. to bring the slides into india back in russia the math facts nation program is gaining momentum much so that the light 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 who came to moscow to report on russia's sputnik jab but ended up getting it himself he shared his thoughts on the vaccine with us. as you well aware russian vaccine 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 and interview and we approach and fortunately the russian fund for direct investment was receptive and do we visited the. institute and talked with mr ginsberg ahead of me as you well aware and talked with the researcher who was the response 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 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 russian book scene is nobody wanted the russian to take part in the cake in the party few can call it that so i think the moment that the european medicine authority will sit on the papers going there and see a need 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. with mass vaccination campaigns already underway in several countries the dubai based airline emirates is testing a so-called covert passport takes the form of an app which contains proof of a travelers negative test or a vaccination certificate as

a controversial idea though with almost 60 percent of russians for example being against it some countries considering it on a national level artie's put it all over takes a look at how europe is approaching the thorny issue. as the e.u. looks to present a united front when it comes to the fight against covert 191 measure we could well see coming in sooner rather than later of backseat passports as more people are vaccinated the documentation in mutual recognition or vaccination become of up most important though it is premature to envisage the use of vaccines it if it gets for other purposes than health protection and a year approach may facilitate other cross border applications of such that if it gets in the future the idea certainly isn't to everyone's taste but the loss of another summer season would be unthinkable for nations whose tourism industries of already being ravaged by coronavirus so covert passports may be the only way to go greece isn't going to let the idea get caught up in your recruiting navel gazing

they've already got the certificates in place we are starting to issue digital vaccination certificates this is not a restriction on the contrary it will help us get rid of the restrictions that covered places on travel for european citizens spain is also in support for the idea of an vaccination document while the italian travel and tourism federation is pressuring rome to act on their behalf we have vaccinated over 1000000 people so far and this number will reach some 10000000 by spring it would be a real shame not to take this opportunity to bring back to safe travel for a fairly large number of people those who lobby on behalf of the airline industry also won't understand a really keen to get this idea off the ground when the european mutual recognized vaccinations that if occurred would be an important step towards giving governments the confidence to safely open their borders and passengers the confidence to fly

without the barrier of quarantine while this is certainly up for consideration the stated goal of the e.u. commission remains paxson ating 70 percent of the. population by the end of the summer but not everyone sees covert per sports as a panacea the president of roumania has suggested that vaccine passports would divide europe's population in 2 while the world health organization is calling on people to be a bit more thoughtful when it comes to travel and not clamor to get back on planes all over the world as soon as possible i asked people here on the streets of berlin what they thought about the proposal it's a big problem for me because i don't want to be vaccinated so they have to catch me and vaccinate with with force the main point should be the focus not on travel but people we have to think about the community and that should be the main reason for

certificates but at the same time sensitive because might encourage people to get vaccinated thus helping society i think it's unfair because only the people who are vixen will be freed to travel to work to go to the cinema everything and the people who are not there will be discriminated by do we actually nation i think you will allow us to get back to normal and things are suitable for the new it does seem that some kind of vaccine document will be the way forward we'll know more after thursday's virtual summit but the mood music coming out of brussels seems to suggest that a plan could well be in place by the end of this month peter all of our r.t. earlier we spoke to richard warner a professor of banking at the u.k.'s demand for university who believes that there is a lot more at stake than just travel. if such covert passports are introduced and actually then used in order to discriminate against people then this would of course mean

that people who have refused to to take some experimental injection that has not really been properly tested and has been rushed through they would not be allowed to use some public services that they're paying for as taxpayers even though they're healthy and there is actually a fundamental legal problem with this because actually that's a violation of e.u. law we have european union and earlier european community law which guarantees freedom of movement of people it certainly is it would be a violation of human rights because you know why restrict the movement of healthy people and you can't simply say that anyone who hasn't done x. y. z. that we will declare as potentially dangerous well that is a massive discrimination and you can't treat healthy people like this that's a governess update for this hour but don't forget you can always had her website r.t.
