if you. take. a poll suggests trust the media has been in america in the wake of the elections the mainstream media. ongoing divisions. of muslim federations in france reject emanuel micron's streams in charter designed to radical islam the president of the paris islamic federation. power groups anyway asking muslims to clarify that position the subject. subjects that they have respected years and years. and a taste of things to come for. britain has this shopping complicated to the spanish border crossing as it contains. from outside the. after checking

a few items they basically just told me that the majority of this you can't take 3 because it has processed vegetables on a. very good morning thanks for joining us here on r.t. international. a recent poll suggests that trust in the media has fallen in the united states both sides of the political spectrum despite a general upward trend among the other 26 countries in the survey. after became clear november the trumpet being ousted from near for loftus no one was more relieved than his greatest enemy the media i don't dare speak for my colleagues but i can tell you how difficult it has been as a journalist to cover this dark part of our history let's hope the attack on

journalists journalism and everyone and time to move into the light well don lemon who bravely soldier through those dark years has got his wish as joe biden was annoying to the 42nd president of the united states t.v. screens across america one magical filled with the rainbows and unicorns 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. to grease the regret out of the privacy of our hearts just for a moment so that we all could share 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 now reporters might have taken it easy on biden during the campaign trail but that john and mystic integrity demanded that they ramp up the pressure during his phosphates and office player who he donald trump's air force

$1.00 each this is such a good question such a good question because while america might be staring down the barrel of unprecedented political polarization civil unrest racial inequality a raging pandemic the annihilation of small businesses and sky high unemployment it's the future of the false one color scheme that really keeps people up at night but if journalists do decide to ask about one of the other insignificant challenges the us face says the head of state is only too willing to give a thorough answer to. the very. forward people who are the u.s. is right now. we're down to your city's number one. young man give him a break it's his 1st day on the job his time probably could do with a nap anyway what do you think this is a press conference meanwhile over in florida donald trump goldfinger his way back

into civilian life is probably feeling a bit hard done by because just months ago a study showed that 95 percent of u.s. broadcast coverage of triumph was negative and to make it was he could even tweet about it. could be embarrass himself in any. further you look small he just looks like a small man. we all lived through a president who was assisted in his elevation to the white house by illegal assistance from a hostile foreign power with so much glaring bias is that anyone to trust in mainstream us media has hit a record low reporters are probably patting themselves on the back they survive but don't care if they aren't in a holiday right but does it show not like apart from a softball question here and there for the byington fun club sorry the main stream media the next 4 years will be spent kicking back and taking it easy for.

the media it's supposed to be the bit the state of supposed to be the watchdog they're not supposed to be in the public relations business the trust in the media in the us is is has declined it's been declining for many years. the public is correct to suspect that journalists are not being fair what we need to see is a robot have all of the principles that facts count and you know if you need to hear both sides to a story what's going on going on right now is just the opposite of that and some of the so called for had checkers are anything but they're basically trying to tip the scales in again in favor of 11 side and they're not looking at it objectively. the fall in trust in the media comes hot on the heels of the u.s. elections which still divisions violently spill over in the capital c

h with clashes also breaking out in portland seattle and denver just hours after death biden's ennoble address auntie's chris had just spoke to fluff and jumps katie believes that deep division in the us is nothing new. there were always at war the united states is one of those rare countries that's been at war almost every day since its founding what we just saw we have the most wonderful military system in the world to defend america and if you look at the oath of office that the chief of staff from chairman of the joint chiefs takes hits to defend america against enemies foreign and domestic was unable to defend the capital couple of the under nurse x. . that i noticed one of the most remarkable things that trump has done was to dismantle the entire arms control regime how we perceive reality

and i want to discuss that that how is our cultivated perception of reality a form of social control of course you refer to branching well we're seeing pretty dramatic examples of that right now united states is always trying to do good things but it makes mistakes here and there and we have to correct these mistakes him but everything is fundamentally wonderful and so this assault on the couple of shows the power of american democracy because we didn't collapse into a fascist state and that enabled us to show that american democracy and its magnificence are the triumph of the e.u. and we're seeing a kind of a replica of that no the some really serious ills. orders . of the republicans are going off the spectrum but those are not being

discussed what's being discussed is a cruise as if they were the. 3 muslim federations in france have refused to back him on your micron's anti extremism charter the president has been touting his charge as a way to fight radical islam. we regret that this charter was signed before getting approval of ole components of the french council of the muslim faith we believe that some passages in warnings of the text submitted are of a nature tweak and the ties of trust between the muslims of france and the nation in addition some of the declarations infringe the honor of muslims with an accusatory character and marginalizing a number of other muslim federations did sign up to the charter though after intense and drawn out discussions the charter and visions the setting up of a new national council responsible for vetting of moms practicing in the country that rejects polarized brands of islam and reaffirms equality between men and women

is the mystery red it's ugly head again in france 2 months ago and a teacher was beheaded for showing his class cartoons of the prophet mohammed. i'm not talking patridge was the victim of an islamist terror attack. establishing islam is a religion that is in crisis today all over the world is a little we don't just see it's not a country kid year that don't you don't listen maliki thump the will of the islamists is precisely to turn our citizens in the republic using their religion and we cannot let that happen. and attack on samuel party trick a crackdown against extremist mosques an islamist associations we heard from fatty

said a kid president of the paris based islamic confederation which rejects my son's charter he told us why. some only look at it you know as we disagree on a number of matters one being the group this charter was to be addressed to at the beginning it was about drafting a charter republican principles the national council of so it was supposed to concern mosques here we find ourselves with a charter of principles of islam and it's france and if they do it's to make the proper distinctions drawn many paragraphs anyway asking muslims explicitly to clarify that position on the subject is that all of this subjects that they have respected for years and years so they don't pose any problems for them as for the principles of the french republic the french people of the muslim face in this country and serenity and in respect of the values of the french republic that to gauge us all we do not have to ask them explicitly to measure their religious convictions to prove how respectful they are to the values and principles of the

french republic it is certain that the rot and to muslim facts we call that islamophobia we're not going to get into semantics we have a commish. called fight against islamophobia so we call it that the reason didn't increase and these acts especially in light of current events now i also don't want to say the result institutionalized islamophobia in france i really think that our country is doing its best to fight against and to muslim acts against islamophobia but that does not mean that these kinds of acts are not increasing. a new variant of covert which was 1st detected in the u.k. is now believed to not only be more infectious than other strains but also more deadly shot here to stash the reports from london of course we always knew that the fires occurred to me tate and we know their latest strategy is what transmissible but now we have the confirmation at all that in addition to spreading more quickly it also appears that there is some evidence that the new variant the varian that

was 1st identified in london in the southeast may be associated with a higher degree of mortality and i want to give some context if you took somebody in their sixty's a man in their sixty's the average risk is that for a 1000 people who got infected roughly 10 would be expected to unfortunately die with the virus. with the new variant for a 1000 people infected roughly 13 or 14 people might be expected to die well the latest statistics are incredibly worrying today's daily cases is now well over 40000 and deaths also continue to rise day by day far as johnson also saying that 70 percent more likely to for people to be in hospital at 19 than there were at the peak of the pandemic in april but it is also worth

mentioning that the data isn't very clear at this point as we heard from patrick violence there is a degree still of uncertainty signs of the lockdown will be relaxing anytime soon in fact there's much speculation mounting that this lockdown could even move well into the summer months as well still the government today trying to reinforce that key message of stay at home as that is really where things can get taken in control of our students and then moving on to talk about the vaccination program as well we are now at the 2nd week of the government's road out of the vaccination he says of the u.k. is well on track to deliver 15000000 doses by mid february of course many people have long said that's quite an ambitious target especially considering now we're only at 5400000 people being vaccinated so the government will have to get a move on we spoke to health policy analyst roy lilley who says he's not too optimistic about how that could be situation will unfold. it was some worrying user earlier this morning as well from one of the professors at the university of east

anglia who was saying that the even though we're flat out that's an 18 people we won't that's enough people with that with a single dose of vaccine to accomplish herd immunity and that's worrying as well because that push eased hoed immunity if we were vaccinated everybody twice a long way down the road it looks to me like we're in for a long haul i think people perhaps optimistic leigh believing that well you know march april around easter time things might change abnormal to. really. puzzled by the prime minister's intervention tonight and i'm not at all want to mystic to the future. taste of things to come down the britain has left the e.u. of britain living in spain and working in the u.k. controlled enclave of gibraltar is how the shopping bag emptied by spanish border gunson was forced to leave behind much of its contents of the border an individual

case that highlights a change of rules for britons crossing the blocks from tis usually you just walk straight through well they may be out there check it. out call it whatever but this time they showed them a bag and they say to the times it looks a little bit more caffeine and they normally say and they started back for a plate it's like pulling everything out after checking a few items they just told me that the majority of this you can't take through because it has processed vegetables on it and saying that they were going to essentially just put them in the vent. the confiscation was in keeping with the e.u. travel guidelines which prohibit travellers from bringing meat dairy products and process vegetables from the states among the things that got that particular british the trouble was processed onions in a spicy sauce he did try to make the best of a bad situation eventually selling the prohibited products at a loss on line i think it's reasonable i had

a brief conversation with one of the guards in the office there and made my point if i can't take these items it seems to me that would be more like a large export quantities not for snow items and there was no documentation to support a fact at least to my knowledge at the time that i can take these things over so. if this is already happening in the 1st week after the break then yeah probably into space a few a few other issues. as it stands going forward i think at the moment we're still in there is actually having to negotiate an agreement with spain due to us being left out of the breaks g.'s my surroundings and some things i was going through the time for just moving around a lot i didn't get an a really wish i had had i voted as a set of really wish i had i would have stood with the 9097 percent of gibraltar that chose to remain because that i didn't really see any benefit whatsoever for us

to leave the european union next on our post briggs's menu sour grapes as a round breaks out after the is ambassador to britain was denied full diplomatic status london insists it's not obliged to treat representatives of international bodies the same as foreign diplomats working for nation states unless london changes tack these new ambassador will not be able to get approval by the queen as head of a diplomatic mission u.k. decision is adults with the way the box representatives are treated in most other countries and london's move doesn't sit well with brussels. we are not and miss the national organization of the ozols we have a union i think it would be vice in my view to for do you care to find her. britain's foreign office has tried to allay brussels concerns saying that the ease representative will receive quote the privileges and immunities necessary to carry out their work in the u.k. effectively political commentator john freiler believes that london's approach

could backfire. i think this is a red an absurd position that the british government has taken because after all we were members of the european union for native 50 years and brags and a part is not enough they now want to downgrade the status of the european union and all that more than $100.00 fallacy countries around the world give full diplomatic privileges to iran bassa does under the vienna convention and this is the situation that he's landed to sit in now with the government surrounded by cabinet ministers who support this nationalistic a break here line which is actually not a total championing britain's global role as he would see it the diminishing britain's role in the international stage if we want to have a good working relationship with dot edu 27 neighbors who are our main trading

partners has taken as a whole we really need to have a much more. a grownup attitude towards this. to come the question of vaccination becomes more urgent in africa where the death rate is now supplant the global average or not i shall bring.

i think this is a 3rd of ministration we've been doing the show for 12 years anyway you know a big theme in 20202016 was dollars they should. now it's all coming to. the african center for disease control and prevention is sounding the alarm after the covert $900.00 death rates on the continent's a past the global average constant reports. seba system or year has become the

3rd top official in zimbabwe to die of covert in the past 6 months mr moyers served as foreign affairs and international trade minister and his passing is yet another sign of a growing coronavirus crisis in africa the continent's total number of registered cases might not look too dramatic if you compare it with other parts of the world 3300000 infections but the fate talent from coburg 19 has gone through the roof of surpassing the global average to reach 2.5 percent when the african union announced the pre order of 270000000 do which is of western vaccines it felt like a ray of hope these are historic times for the 1st time in history africa has secured access to millions of vaccine doses in the middle of a pandemic but as with most western countries there's still a huge shortage of vaccine doses and that's why this continental collaboration has

designed a fan allocation coupled with timely and equitable access of coded 1000 vaccines across the continent so far none of the promised western vaccines have been supplied to africa almost 2 months after the 1st doses were rolled out in europe according to world health organization officials that's partly because rich nations care about themselves 1st and foremost even those they speak the language of equitable axis some countries some companies continue to prioritize by. bypassing kovacs driving up prices in the time to jump to the front of the queue given the vaccine leftovers that african nations are hoping to get invention we will probably cost them more than the rich countries paid the south african health ministry claims for instance that it was offered doses of u.k. pharma giant ass resenting his vaccine at a price $2.00 times higher than in the european you. but supply shortages and prize

galadriel are not be only problems for the poor african nations when it comes to getting jobs what we're seeing in the roll out is some of the high income countries if that is complicated it needs to be resourced and properly planned and there haven't been enough global resources to lower income countries in other words most african nations simply can't afford the sophisticated infrastructure needed for vaccine distribution even if they receive the actual doses is especially true for the pfizer by one tech shot which has to be stored and transported at minus 70 degree celsius the plan to save africa from than that make it look good on paper but the reality is very different we have to vaccinate africa it's quickly as we vaccinate the rest of the world and we have to give the vaccine for free that's what we should do because that's the only moral and intelligent thing to do to fight this deadly pandemic this virus has spread faster than any virus we've seen

in a century this virus is deadly and they have poor are not true sure that every country has if you have an idea you're only going to protect your country. then you are actually going to be committing murder and the rest will put your shouldn't be killing yourself because until. that snake. the university of york in the u.k. has removed an image of the 3 wise monkeys from this web site out of affairs that some could see it as a racist stereotype. upon reflection we strongly believe that our 1st post is not appropriate as it's i can only g. promulgates a longstanding legacy of oppression and exploits racist stereotypes the 3 monkeys represent the old japanese proverb of see no evil hear no evil speak no evil a spokeswoman for the uni says that the picture was used to call for research

papers for an art history conference including quote papers that represented black indigenous and people of color we discussed the situation with columnist and radio host john gaunt i don't know how anyone i just do not understand how anyone can see the 3 wise monkeys there in any way that represents black people or is racist it clearly isn't it's 3 wise monkeys want to see a black person i don't think all they're like a monkey the only people who see that are people who are looking for racism or in fact perhaps hold were racist attitudes themselves it's not even one coach in a sense it's nonsense culture and complete an absurd drivel and you know what this actually does or undermines your real racism there's plenty of racism in the world that we need to confront without looking for it where it isn't there and the netherlands now where a young designer has already sold $1500.00 decks of her special range of playing

cards she says what sets them apart from the usual run of the mill packs of cards is that hers are free of sexism. if we have this hierarchy that the king is worth more than the queen then the subtle inequality influences people in their daily life because it's just another way of saying hey you're less important. technically the queen cars is worth more in a game of queenie. gender neutral deck of cards there's the cure for all the biggest problems when it comes to gender inequality king of spades sure kept me up

at nights. i'm pretty triggered by silver being a lower rank than go. and i think about it today i'll return with the latest on all the good stories in alpha . the world is driven by dreamers shaped by phone person with those words. the dares thinks. we dare to ask.

what taste awful like absolutely awful 1st game coded then a 2nd wave they say the 3rd is coming now the virus is mutating and walk 2 blocks away from the apartment and i would get confused as to holly gets not. meanwhile patients who've recovered from cove it started to report some unusual aftereffects the symptoms were different but. my hearing has been ok i think that's one of those things are at play research is all over the world are trying to determine the many aches pains and other problems and then turn it all into numbers showing my hair. but if you look carefully 1113 there this is throughout the day my hair just freakish out loud various sources reports that couvade didn't just leave for 35

percent of recovered patients. so you don't pull the bullshit cause the push. just there have been many complaints of feral vision loss joint pain and fatigue in the us these patients are referred to as post coded long holos i talked to multiple doctors in my doctor and they said we have a feeling that you're going to have a hard time in recovery you're going to be one of those people that they consider a long haul or. max kaiser this is the kaiser report oh the i think this is our 3rd administration we've been doing this show for going on 12 years anyway you know big thing in 20202016 was dollars they dig lobel ization and now it's all coming to

a head stays right we're going to talk about do you dollar is ation it really started with when our guests jim rickards who you know has many books about currency wars and things like that and he was also an advisor to the cia on currency wars and obama under his administration at that time jim rickards had said to us well you know he agreed with it because he doesn't like iran and he's an iranian a hawk on iran but he was like the problem for us as america is that you can really only use this once because once you use it a 2nd time or 3rd time then people come up with alternatives so here is our closest ally of course is the e.u. e.u. draft sets out plan.
