sure to move to. the story. time is the is back that's for claim of joe biden and his 1st foreign policy speech as u.s. president at the same time he vows a tougher line towards moscow. u.k. faces the growing poverty crisis with charities around food banks inundated with requests for help and a problem hitting people from all walks of life we spoke to a charity representative. and we have people who have never really had to depend on anyone much less a church for help each person and to have come through the doors. on popular video sharing network take talk says it all blow children under 13 and

it's only now thought that 10 year old girl died while allegedly playing a hold your breath game on the platform would put the issue up for discussion. parents take some responsibility in being aware of what the children are up to like a parent so if there's anything i don't understand how powerful that if you stop kids using text talk to simply jump ship and go to another social media. a very good morning to you from our team here in moscow you're watching on t.v. and so national with me. now our top story u.s. president joe biden has delivered his 1st a big foreign policy speech since taking office with the tug line diplomacy is back running throughout the address but biden seemed to be anything but diplomatic when it came to russia and. railing at the kremlin and vowing to get tough with the my

person i made it clear to president putin in a manner very different from my predecessor that the days of the united states rolling over in the face of russia's aggressive actions interfering with our elections cyberattacks. citizens are over we will not hesitate to raise the cost on russia and defend our vital interest on our people. the new administration have previously said it's looking into a number of russian related issues including alleged russian hacking reports of bounties placed on american forces in afghanistan by russia and of course election interference allegations other issues that tackled in biden's speech include relations with the e.u. china on the middle east on the americas rick sanchez discussed the speech with around songs like i'm john hardy to see what's really at play when you look at the you it seems like that's been a real prickly relationship during the trouble for years what do you see changing

what trends are you looking at already we remember president trump he was very much build the wall anti immigration anti refugees and immigrants so while trump was against bringing in refugees we have a complete and total about face from president biden listen here i'm approving an executive order to began the hard work of restoring our refugee admissions program to help meet the unprecedented global need. this executive order position are said to be able to raise the refugee admission is back up 212-5000 persons for the 1st full fiscal year of the by narrative ministration this is not going to my hero with a lot of people in europe by the way europe real big refugee problem by the way caused by the united states encroachment in places like the middle east exactly you hear that number 125000 last year trump only allowed an 18000 that was the lowest number that we saw since 1980 where we had 200000 coming and now biden says that

this is going to help are here and allies and you can see that map here of all the countries that are having big problems germany has taken in the most refugees we remember trump always had this ongoing spat with german chancellor angela merkel saying that germany wasn't paying its fair share with nato therefore we're not going to help you you're on your own now also biden reiterated again seeing this complete opposite of trump where he said you'll see here he extended the russia start treaty for 5 years he demanded the immediate release of alexina vali he rejoins the paris climate accord he's removing the muslim ban and also he's freezing the withdrawal of u.s. troops from germany we have about 34000 trump wanted to bring about 9500 back home says no you're staying put let's begin with something the president said that caught our attention he seemed to be emphatic about wanting to get out of yemen correct one thing though that really stood out to me about his speech which you could title it leading with diplomacy because he kept using the term over and over

but what he was not what he so much talk about but what he didn't talk about as well that being a lot of detail about iran the g. c.p.o. a israel our alliances with you know gulf countries but as far as yemen we talked about this earlier he the president did talk about ending what he called the brutal war in yemen announcing that the u.s. would no longer support any offensive action in that brutal conflict. he says sorry saudis but we're out of yemen you're on your own there oh by the way saudis if somebody is bad to you or mean to you we're going to be there to help you yeah they're not. pulling its military assets out of saudi arabia in fact they're going to be moving and military personnel equipment assets from the persian gulf to the red sea instead to keep out of iranian target range so it's not like the u.s. is cutting off all support of saudi arabia that will continue also the u.s.

will continue to go after al qaeda and the arabian peninsula not based on the yemen nothing is unilateral when it comes to the middle east whatever you do for yemen affects saudi arabia the other gulf states israel and certainly iran absolutely he didn't talk about israel he didn't talk about the potential for war and there's always the potential for water between israel and iran and about how the u.s. you know the alliance between israel the u.s. the arms deals that the u.s. the billions of dollars that the u.s. makes in weapons and arms deals with with israel including f. $35.00 stealth fighters and on and on and on. i mean we should be getting that too much specifics about about china and we kind of already knew that with this speech it was in broad general terms what he said was these are direct words will confront china's economic abuses puts pushback on china's human rights abuses and also technological property violations though he also added we're willing to work with beijing when it's in america's interest to do so well there are some

fires as i said earlier some fires they've got to put out you know the situation between china and taiwan you know the south china sea dispute on it you know that all these things you know a number of issues hot button issues that they have to negotiate navigate always a reason it's almost he almost has to reset i mean is it ever reset you know i guess in some sense sure it is there he's moving away from the whole as. said america 1st you know trump policy and pushing as i said leading with diplomacy you know the term that he kept kind of hammering on in this speech so in a sense it is a reset but there when you're talking about china look you're talking about cyber you know cyber security issues you're talking about trade and we discussed the asset with former pennsylvania senator breaux smocks on full messina u.s. security policy analyst michael and he needs an adversary and as caleb quoted that he didn't really names aciphex he just wanted to act tough and that's actually

playing to his democrat base they are very very anti russian these are no an entity's to moscow and they know how to deal with them and i think they're not surprised that as far as russia moscow's concern was nothing more to sanction probably where biden will stay will stay when it comes to russia initially are these international agreements and not get into any close close association with moscow for now a less over time we see a change in attitudes toward both countries but that may be progress of a medic because of people who will be guiding him who are much more in the russian within his administration let's be real about this the democratic party has been engaged in an entirely russia. attack since donald trump was elected they perpetrated the russian hoax idea for 2 years that russians somehow supported president trump when he was elected there was absolutely no evidence of that it was

a complete falsehood and it was based on you know a dossier that was paid for by hillary clinton's campaign as well as the democratic national committee but this red baiting well it's not really red baiting because russia is no longer a communist country but attacking russia has been you know a playing card of the democrats and i suspect that sooner than later in the new biden in this direction that there's going to be new sanctions on russia. still to come yet another one of donald trump policies bites the dust as president joe biden hopes the goal of 12000 u.s. troops from germany on that insulates in the program. a pandemic is seeing dozens of covert patients being shuffled between hospitals in the u.k. due to a shortage of intensive care beds in january alone the n.h.s. transferred nearly 39 patients a day double the number seen during the 1st wave we spoke with

a health care consultant who's seen the crisis 1st hand i guess this shows 2 things shows the scale of the kind to make and how much was the 2nd wave is the 1st just way project and how it's affecting different parts of the country at different rates it also shows the real strengths of the national health service in the country circles the country are able to create they can offer mutual aid and support each of the parts of the country or culture so that this is what additional services built to do mutual aid which would be very difficult than any other sort of system the u.k. is only just coming over the peak of the 2nd wave although the daily rate of infections remains high it's around $20000.00 the total number of confirmed cases over the past week and did see a drop of 25 percent compared to the week before but sudan a part of cherry says it too late to celebrate as too early to celebrate. certainly

i think that the infection rates are dropping gives us confidence that we're probably in the peach white now the real question is how long is that class are going to last for about one being cautious of offering hope will we continually and still be able to support the health needs of the nation of that is a really really big question because many many of our services will have to stop trying she intensive care and research your medicine going through the pandemic as we try and restart some of these services which we call do in the near future because we're still dealing with the kind of it and perhaps with our class it will be months before we can relax. and it's not only the n.h.s. coming under pressure at the u.k. is now also facing a widening poverty problem with millions of brits feeling the pinch because of the pandemic charities and food banks across the country have reported a surge in demand pay partridge reports. coronavirus pandemic could push the amount

of people living in poverty in the u.k. to more than 15000000 almost a quarter of the population since then the u.k. seen another surge in infections and deaths in the financial provisions of looked down with more people were lying on food banks like this one in east london which last september used to provide 23 passes a day and now provides over 80 ferries things have happened which made on numbers of quantity poured so we had a lot of stray homeless people taken off the streets put in the hotels on the line wrong for drive where we're situated and sorry day there's about 40 or 50 of them that come in and we help them there are more than $2100.00 food banks in the u.k. of which $1200.00 a run by the soulsby based charity the trussell trust it's seen an almost 50 percent increase in demand during the pandemic with nearly half of those relying on food parcels being children the bonnie downs community association in east london

helped 4000 people between april and june last year compared with 622 in the previous 3 months the beaumont least food bank in leicester soar numbers increased from 40 families before the pandemic to 500 a week since march the new start spewed bank in the wish to shutout of brahms' group said demand had risen by 700 percent over the same period and the dog more community kitchen hob in devon said that of the 130 people died helped since march only 20 had previously needed charity food aid people who are now rely on food banks come from all walks of life one volunteers said she was left in tears when just before christmas she'd given a food parcel to an n.h.s. nurse a group called the people's army set up a food bank at the angel church in north london and the pastor in charge regan king says the demand from people who were previously vulnerable is striking we have a range of people who come to us we have families with young children all the way

up into their teens. we have people who previously had never used a food bank before they have used this service and we have people who have never really had to depend on anyone much less charge for helping sustenance who have come through the doors that's in addition to the normal need to fix their butts with the emergence of the u.k. of more transmissible variants of coronavirus some food banks have had to focus their work on deliveries one charity leader wrote to the prime minister warning him that if the government doesn't act the food banks on which many thousands of people now rely might have to close their doors we have very concerns that the halley contagious new strain of college 19 could put food bank staff volunteers and the people they support at increased risk of infection and that self isolated measures may involve the reduction in service of closure of food banks and is not just

charity workers who are writing to boris johnson one of the nation's senior food policy experts has criticised the government for failing to provide its citizens with nutritious food security in response the government said the system is working we continue to work closely with the food industry who are well prepared to ensure people across the country have the food and supplies they need but an almost 50 percent increase in the demand for food banks during a pandemic that puts their existence in jeopardy could ultimately see the government forced to maintain a charity sector that's been sustaining the population kate partridge r.t. london. israel is also struggling to contain the virus despite over 20 percent of the population being vaccinated as many in the ultra orthodox community still flouts covert restrictions assays polis later picks up the story. we're not far from the heartbeat of the ultra orthodox community here in jerusalem

now we were forced out of play with people shouting at us accusing us of being prostitutes and nazis so it's a little bit safer here this community is at the same time of a route over a lockdown measure has recently thousands of ultra-orthodox mourners many of them with mosques took to the streets to attend the funerals of 2 rabbis it caused an outcry in israel and of wasn't the 1st time as the country struggles to deal with its handling of the co on a virus the society is becoming more and more divided many people in jerusalem do not support the behavior of the ultra-orthodox neighbors i don't know exactly the statistics of our culture drop out for a few 30 but i do know that under 65 the statistics is that one out of every 10000 people died for us that's a very very slowly number i actually think that the bigger problem is the fact that the government over there is. making it convincing everyone to take this vaccine

that no one has any ideas about and no one understands it was term side effects of our. need them that i think anyone who doesn't put on a mask is like a murderer it is against all the rules of the rabbi who the rabbis are against these are the people who don't have communication and don't have television and they simply don't know where this disease news is they don't believe it they don't believe in the kroon of ours the bling the hospitals i can't understand their level that people can believe conspiracy theory mr israeli government has voted to extend the contract down until friday it's double fines and it's keeping the port shuts it's becoming increasingly to me for the police to control those who refuse to a kid to lockdown mischa's we requested a comment from the police but they declined to comment at the same time the ultra-orthodox commune. he says it's feeling persecution it. come up with the

hatred doesn't lead to anything good in the world there are a few rabbis who think you know i don't belong to them they think the coronaviruses imaginary this is what they think he's over having a lockdown it's god giving us clues he's hinting to us that we have to fix something or while there are calls for israel to be divided into different covert 19 years zones the country's prime minister says the lockdown bulls apply to everyone regardless of their religion the ultra orthodox community comprises some 15 percent of the population but according to the health ministry it also represents more than 55 percent of coronavirus cases the latest word from the government is that the current nationwide lockdown may not be israel's last policy on r.t. jerusalem. whereas the livia wrath awaits in international relations and communications analysts believes better engagements with the ultra orthodox community could help.

zar some groups. were fused to go italy to respect as are all of the regulations the police is intervening as a government intervening but as you understand of as you know neither community. about of it unfortunately is. behaving like the religious. elements of of them before state laws in some part of the community fortunately there is a lack of information this visual is only important to. this tense situation the medical. instructions and communication is a unique tool you know there are 2 big dispute will be even according to the laws of the glacier it's not simple as you can imagine. more and more

a family than the people. beyond the rabbis and beyond the. atmosphere. that for there for the live earth. have to be a good thing to talk a lot of. popular video sharing network take talk has given in to demands of italian authorities and agreed to blocked children under the age of 13 the concession comes after the death of a 10 year old girl who was allegedly playing a hold your breath game on the platform the case sparks outrage in italy when it came to light in january the girl died in hospital in palo after being discovered in the family bathroom with her cellphone according to her sister she was participating in an online blackout to challenge the case put the app on this group today with italian prosecutors launching an investigation take talks that if failed

to detect any harmful content on its platform but agreed to cooperate with authorities. also talk has intensified a crackdown on misinformation on its side it will start warning users about unvalidated videos and may prevent them from appearing in their feed earlier my colleague you know neal discussed the effectiveness of the child protection steps with a panel of experts. i don't think it's going to be in the slightest bit affective that people want to use to talk in the same way as they want to use any other social media they'll find a way to talk can say what they like but effectively they must realize that the success of their phenomena this in the user's hands rather than theirs i speak to a large number of parents who when their children reach the age of say 32 they tell the children well you can now have a social media or else only to find that children and all of their children's

pieces have had social media accounts for some years already and have simply lied about their rights and that boards important that parents take some responsibility in being aware of what their children are up socially good meant to be that you don't really get on them and to get the senior they say that could be the 8 and i remember when there is a beginning and even now with respect i think it's quite you know like a parent that essentially you know i don't understand how how can a but also how damaging a i mean we've seen so many cases not to let your agenda then you can do a she hyla they begin to get there but when children are thin blade to a point where the taking their own mind well i think having more understanding about how these are amazing but they can also be incredibly trouble when the parents come up with any good conscience say to the kids do not use this social media because the kids are just going to turn around say well you do need to run it all day so we should not underestimate the power of social media across all

demographic groups if you stop kids using tech talk simply jump ship and go to another social media should there be greater regulation is that the answer when it comes to protective measures for children and social media is it more education is there a will for the for the tech giants to actually do that should schools get more involved as the final stop of the parents i know it could be a mix of all of them but which is the most significant and you're right the platforms that share an enormous responsibility themselves. but we can't rely on them being responsible in self-regulating in terms of children thank you the social media platforms could very easily have a form of registration when i managed to check ages and managed to validate this they simply don't have the will to do this because they want to encourage people to use that platform and they want to people take umbrage children especially to start as early as a permissible we do need to educate young people more kids think that they want

they are very often i really bad for them it's our job and if i say help then build their resilience and also know what appropriate for them and what an appropriate if there are things they are going to say that you don't want them to say i mean i'm really all still before i was 16 the main thing in life for me was to get into x. rated movies the very fact that there were x. rated made the more attractive banning something instantly makes it more attractive . it released off coronavirus vaccines and seen governments and people are lying to scrabble to get their hands on limited supplies of japs but as it turns out it's not everyone is willing to wait the fact turn his don't close with more around the world people are racing to get cold vaccines that are often in short supply and even those whose job it is to be a good sports are often willing to cheat their way to the front of the line so football club for example which caught attention after getting their players

vaccinated it is unacceptable to jump the queue ahead of people most at risk of cope with 19 and the n.h.s. guidance is clear that local vaccination services must manage their appointment lists to ensure all appointments are filled according to the club though those vaccines were going to be dumped anyway which makes everything better right after all it's not the only case when people were fast tracked to get these highly sought after covert shots this seems to be happening all around the world spanish officials for example caught right ahead of people in high risk groups in the u.k. a number of the very workers tasked with regulating vaccine distribution did the same thing and in the us those who could make generous donations are getting a bit of gratitude in return d.-a over naik major donors we're pleased to share that we have 500 new hope an appointment in the over they called 900 vets in clinic beginning these often and tomorrow and next week of course the privileged elite have enough money to bribe their way into vaccination city if they want then

there's the rest of society who have to resort to some good old fashioned stealing if they want to cheat all the while governments are still trying to work out how to deal with the line cutters and rule breakers in the health minister is serious about having a fair solution and there needs to be consequences for those who depart from it talk is good but as long as it's not turned into action the good citizen who waits his turn might be standing in line for a while we were going to see. in a broken health care system. part too often where the the wealthy get taken care of and those who are the poorest and the most help don't this is really just a nother example of how cold good has exposed the broken social and health care systems of people who are being hit the populations being hit the most will start with indigenous people black and brown people who also have been disproportionately impacted and were already in situations of having poor health were living in

communities that were polluted when they are prioritized actually it makes for the pandemic to spread even more these are populations that tend to congregate more than more populations who can see apart from each other so let's go and take care of those people and build this solution from the bottom up. meanwhile the u.s. will also have halted its planned withdrawal of 12000 troops from germany well the pentagon conducts a review of the air plans the news came just ahead of joe biden's foreign policy speech. getting our global force posture right making sure that our global force posture is consistent with our national security and diplomatic priorities secretary austin will lead a global force posture review and during the pendency of that review will free any troop redeployments from germany it was donald trump who was at the removal of american troops in germany he accused a fellow nato member of making

a fortune off u.s. soldiers and also not contribution enough to the alliance plans with plans by germany which that day we can do europe security i mean while this week military officials announced the arrival of more than 200 u.s. air force personnel in norway the 1st ever deployment to the country will also include a big one bomber squadron which is reportedly to us just training flights in the region brian becker from the antiwar also coalition believes u.s. minutes are eyes they should only benefit big corporations. the u.s. unlike earlier empires that had colonies all over the world united states has military bases and installations as a way to guarantee american power the extension of american power in all of these countries and so the quid pro quo with the nato allies that the resuscitate it both allies in defeated and risk there is that the end of world war 2 was that they

would agree that their countries would be occupied supplemented basically under the control of the united states and the quid pro quo was the united states would grant them access to different parts of the world market so for the elites in europe it was fine but what's the point what's the point of american troops in germany in a big new areas of military competition between the united states and russia or the united states and china or both is the arctic and of course the ultimate high ground outer space again the american people don't gain anything from this militarization it's very good for corporations it's good for big business but it's a drain on the national treasury at a time when millions of americans don't have jobs millions have lost their health care why spend money deploying troops elsewhere occupying the arctic are planning to and outer space this is crazy. many thanks for joining us here in ottawa and parents know we had been having a presence dattilo day we're back in 30 minutes with the latest headlines.
