and the idea of a traditional. power lie with the people this demonstrates that struggle in very real ways. the struggle. the headlines in our poll suggests the trust in the media has fallen in america in the wake of the elections as the mainstream media joe biden made on going divisions in the united states also to the federation in france reject. extremism charter designed to combat radical islam presents the paris islamic confederation tells us why draw many paragraphs. to clarify that position on the subject subjects that they have respect for years and years and a taste of things to come. border crossing as

it contained. you. just told me that the majority of the sheep takes through because the house suspects to. follow their welcome you're watching out international this saturday afternoon just call. a recent poll suggests that trust in the media has fallen in the us on both sides of the political spectrum despite a general upward trend among the other 26 countries in the survey. big stick. after became clear in november the trumpet being ousted from the oval office 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 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 and moving 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 joe biden and vice president harris told. to grease the regret out of the privacy of our hearts if 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 the report says 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 borrowed from stair

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 john does 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. war with peace be with us right now. we're down to your city's no one. young man give him a break it's his 1st day on the job he's tired 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 was a study showed that 95 percent of u.s. broadcast coverage of trump was negative and to make it was he could even tweet about it. yall can be embarrass himself 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 it anyone to trust in mainstream us media has hit a record low reporters are probably patting themselves on the back they survived the don't care if they aren't in it a holiday right but does it show nuts like apart from a softball question here in la for the byington fun club sorry the mainstream media the next 4 years will be spent kicking back and taking it easy. the media is

supposed to be the the state of supposed to be the watchdog we're not supposed to be in the public relations 'd 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 right 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 while the full interest in the media comes hot on the hales of the us elections

which still divisions find the spillover in the capital c clashes also breaking out seen in potency athel and. joe biden's address chris hedges spoke to the force the name chomsky about this he believes that deep division in america is nothing yet. we were always at war united states is one of those rare countries that's been at war almost every day since its founding oh 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 that's to defend america against enemies foreign and domestic was unable to defend the capital couple of the under nurse x. not 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 makes mistakes here and there and we have to correct these mistakes and but everything is fundamentally wonderful and so this assault on the capital shows the power of american democracy because we didn't collapse into a fascist state and that enabled us to show that american democracy in its magnificence a triumph. and we're seeing a kind of a replica of that no the symbol really serious ills. all the republicans are going off the spectrum but those are not being discussed

what's being disclosed to those crews. who are. now 3 muslim federations in france who refused to back a manual macro lens anti extremism charter the president has been touting his charter as a way to fight radical islam we regret that this charter was signed before getting the approval of all components of the french council of the muslim faith we believe that some passages and wordings of the submitted text are of a nature that will weaken the ties of trust between the muslims of france and the nation in addition some of the declarations infringe on the honor of muslims exhibiting an accusatory and marginalizing character however a number of other muslim federations did sign up to the charter after intense and drawn out discussions in visions of the setting up of

a new national council responsible for vetting it moms practicing in the country and it rejects polarized brands of islam and reaffirms equality between men and women islamist terror raid is ugly head again in france just 3 months ago when a teacher was beheaded for showing his class cartoons of the prophet mohammed. i'm not talking patrick was the victim of an islamist terror attack. stemming from islam is a religion that is in crisis today all over the world and we don't just see it in our country year that don't you don't listen to will of the islamists is precisely

to turn our citizens in case of the republic using their religion and we cannot let that happen. while the attack on samuel passe triggered a crackdown against extremist mosques and islamists associations we heard from fatty 30 care he's the president of the paris based islamic confederation which is against shot. himself look at that 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 of the national council of so it was supposed to concern and at mosques here we find ourselves with the charter of principles of islam and france and the fail it's to make the proper distinctions run many paragraphs anyway asking muslims explicitly to clarify their position on subjects that are obvious subjects that they have respected for years and years that 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 bags we call that islamophobia we're not going to get into semantics we have a commission called fight against islam. so we call it that there isn't an increase in these acts especially in light of current events now i also don't want to say the results institutionalized islamophobia in france i really think it's all come through 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. now a taste of things to come behappen after britain recently left the european union because of britain living in spain and working in the u.k. controlled enclave of gibraltar how the shopping bag empty by spanish border guards

and was forced to leave behind much of its contents at the border it is an individual case that does highlight the change of rules for britons trying to enter the. usually you just walk straight through well they maybe are check your bags out call tobacco. but this time they showed them a bag and they took the time to look a little bit more carefully than me normally do and they started back probably this night pulling everything out after checking a few items they basically just told me that the majority of british you can't take through because their house processed vegetables on it and saying that they were going to essentially just put them in the. well the conversation was thinking ping was with the use travel guidelines it prohibits travelers from bringing me to dairy products and process vegetables from non member states among the things that got the britain to trouble to was processed onions in spicy sauce he tried to make the best of a bad situation though eventually selling the behavior to products as

a loss on mine. i think it's reasonable i had a brief conversation with one of the guards in the in the office there and made my point if i can 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 breakfast then yeah probably enters the bait a few a few other issues. as it stands going forwards i think at the moment we're still in which a voter is actually having to negotiate an agreement with spraying due to us being left out of the brats g.'s my surroundings and some things i was going through the time for just moving around a lot i didn't get much into to bow down and 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 the morrow has broken act after the basses to britain mr knight 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 here the new ambassador won't be able to get approval by the queen as head of the diplomatic mission the case decision is adults with the way the blocks representatives are treated in most other countries and london's move doesn't sit well with brussels we are not in the national religion of the we are of the union i think it would be very in my view to for do you care to find. what britain's foreign office has tried to allay your brussels concerns saying that the representative will receive quote the privileges and immunities necessary to carry out their work in the u.k.

effectively political commentator donovan fryer believes that london's approach could backfire. i think this is a really absurd position that the british government has taken because after all we were members of the european union for nearly 50 years and brags that a part is not enough they now want to downgrade the status of the european union and although more than $150.00 countries around the world give full diplomatic privileges to bassa does under the vienna convention and this is the situation these landed is in now with a government surrounded by cabinet ministers who support this nationalistic break city or line which is actually not to toe 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 the e.u.

27 neighbors who are our main trading partner has taken as a whole we really need to have a much more. grown up and you tube towards this pushing out international will be back with more nice just after this break. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being so. direct. what is truth what is. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us

in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race often spearing dramatic development only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. again my people have taken to the streets in a number of russian cities today they are calling for the release of the opposition activists alexina valentine he was detained upon returning from germany on sunday for violating the terms of his parole well let's go live now to. one of the

protests the main protest in the center of moscow for siegel just describe the situation is like there at the moment and what sort of turnout has that big. well. it is getting quite lively here the square is absolutely packed a good few we don't have an official estimate just yet but it looks like a good scenes thousands of people have already showed up again packing this square right in the heart of the russian capital the kremlin is in fact just a couple of kilometers away down the street and so more people are right now gathering outside of the square because they're not being basically there's no free space here we could barely find a sport ourselves so essentially the people here they are chanting different slogans now like freedom of course calling of for the release of the russian opposition of a prominent russian opposition figure alexina valli who as you said was detained on sunday upon his return from berlin where he was treated for what he and western

labs are saying a military grade poisoning of poisoning by a military grade compound also people here are calling on the resignation of lattimer food and there is right now they're chanting for instance we are the of dorothy's here now as it is for the police response so far people they have been allowed to gather but they are detaining people essentially the raw patrols of riot police squads just walking around the square and snatching people and bringing them into custody we have seen some scuffles but nothing major just yet now the officially this gather this meeting this protest kicked off literally about 20 minutes ago and that's when it got lively that's when the action here started before that people were more or less standing here quietly now they are they have a lot of well

a lot of banners which they brought from home because they were all professionally made a very good paper a good color as using a single template like i am not afraid freedom for the valley and so on and so forth so. we will be standing by here to see if there's more violence here if there's more detentions and i will bring you all the latest also has to be said that you know the situation with the internet connection has been appalling in the past minutes basically nothing words not even over a v.p.n. also the authorities have been saying that this gathering is not authorized to people they're calling into people to disperse and also condemning what seemed to be like a very large campaign online on social media trying to get just children to participate here we have seen some younger faces here generally the crowd is very very young although there are some some senior citizens here and proper adults but still

overall a young crowd a young crowd of people difficult to tell their age because of all the mosques this is something that the authorities have also been pointing out and drawing people's attention to that there's a pandemic so they have been on the people calling on their people to wear masks and other protective equipment obviously well there's no social social distancing here it's a protest but this is this is what's going on at the moment again i will be standing by to bring you all the latest ok thanks a lot that was huge down off reporting there from one of the protests in the center of moscow today. if not hundreds turned out for a known unauthorized. bring the city center there to a standstill place use force to disperse the crowd detaining dozens of protesters some of those taking part appear to being school children well under the age of 18 like the children's own batsman has denounced what she described as opposition

activists using children as a human shield against the police similar scenes played out in the city of chita also on a much smaller scale with a few 100 demonstrators attending there more marches they are expected later in the day all across the country. with the main focus there in moscow which is spoken to ugle none of the planned events have been authorized at a protest in class and he asked the police tried to reason with some of the younger attendees. at least 3. of. your parents to look to. you to. refute. the pacific for. you your voice your pupils you look. almost like i. know the african center for disease control and prevention is sounding the alarm

after the covert 19 death rate on the continent suppose the global average artie's constantine rushkoff has more. simplicius a more 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 faith talent from kobe 19 has gone through the roof surpassing the global average to reach 2.5 percent when the african union announced the pre order of 270000000 do which is a western maxine's 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 fair allocation coupled with timely and equitable access of coded $1000.00 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 access some countries some companies continue to prioritize by. driving up prices and the time to jump to the front of the queue given the vaccine left over is 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 union. but supply shortages and prize galadriel are not the 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 nation simply can't afford the sophisticated infrastructure needed for vaccine distribution even if they receive the actual duces is especially true for the fires or by one tech shot which has to be stored and transported at minus 70 degrees 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 we vaccinate the rest of the world and we have to give the vaccine for free and 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 therefore not to the sure that every country has it 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 you off of that and be killing yourself because until the whole world knows that snake. now the university of york in the u.k. has removed the name each of the 3 wise monkeys from its website i with is 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 well the 3

monkeys they represent the oldest japanese proverb see no evil hear no evil speak no evil his 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 also people of color columnist and radio host don gold shared his thoughts on the situation i don't know how anyone a just do not understand how anyone can say the 3 wise monkeys that in any way that represents black people or is racist it clearly isn't it's 3 wise monkeys when i see a black person i don't think although like a monkey the only people who see that are people who are looking for racism or in fact perhaps hold or racist attitudes themselves it's not even one culture in a sense it's nonsense culture and complete an absurd drivel and oh 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 watching out it happens you have to wait for this i would have more news for you in a bad 30. dime afshin rattansi welcome to another lockdown edition of going on the ground in a week of the inauguration of the 46th president of the usa joe biden hailed and heralded all around nato nation media but joining me now is the legend that is the

publisher of tribune and the founding editor of jacobin buskers and caro thanks so much for coming on he joins me now from new york i'm going to start by saying what do you make of the inauguration we saw lady gaga wearing a brooch depicting what looked to me like the the peace. corps in a spanish bank to picasso how optimistic are you. well i should say that certainly as a socialist i'm used to being in perpetual opposition i think if you're a good socialist in the united states given the hardest perpetuated by the u.s. economic system at home and the hardest part pressure a big broad one is used to posture of opposition i honestly would rather be in opposition to joe biden i've been to donald trump i think joe biden is more susceptible to pressure and saying that isn't really much of

a credit to joe biden as a human being or his certainly his political history which is quite a sordid one but it is a credit to the fact that due to the fact that he has a social base that is disproportionately rooted in minority communities and so on there is some room to be in opposition and to pressure from the outside but again that that optimism is very cautious very guarded most of all i'm disagree that the culture war of the last 4 years might possibly be over and received a pathway to ending it i think both liberalism and conservatism in the us have been driving themselves to the brink of of insanity and it's going to be on that he seemingly moving beyond some of that unfounded well being on one's god could arguably be.
