i think they use diplomacy is back then to use this is 1st major foreign policy speech to lash out at russia. the u.k. faces a growing poverty crisis with charities on food banks that are inundated with requests for help and the problem hits and people from all walks of life. popular video sharing network taking talks says it all blocked children under 13 in italy just after a 10 year old girl died while allegedly taking part in the so called the blackout challenge on the powerful we put the issue of the discussion. take some responsibility to be aware of what virtual grew up to be like the parents you know and. how powerful that is if you stop kids using to talk to simply jump ship and go

to another social media. to. a very good morning to you for my team here in moscow if you're watching r.t. international with me nicky aaron. the u.s. president joe biden has delivered his 1st big foreign policy speech since taking office that with the tagline that diplomacy is back running throughout the address but biden seemed to be anything but diplomatic when it came to russia railing at the kremlin and vowing to get tough with a lot of near putin explains. it was his 1st speech on foreign policy u.s. president joe biden speaking at the u.s. state department his message was america is back diplomacy is back however from there he went into some rather hostile sounding rhetoric regarding russia 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 poisoning its citizens are over we will not hesitate to raise the cost on russia and defend our vital interest on our people all those examples given of so-called aggression lack concrete evidence whether it comes to supposed election interference or a cyber attacks or poisoning there are widespread concerns about the accuracy of these claims we discuss the matter with foma pennsylvania senator breaux smocks and from a senior u.s. security policy analyst michael maloof. he's just one of the 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 is concerned there is 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 programmatic because of people who will be guiding him who are much more anti 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 that 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 astray ssion that there's going to be new sanctions on russia. out of the she's tackled him biden speech include relations with the e.u. china and the middle east the americas rick sanchez discussed the address with foreign funds that and john heidi. 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 push back 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 there's 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 that 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 be 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 i 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 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 he could title it leading with diplomacy because he kept using the term over and over but what he was not what he so much talked 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 4 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 there are going to be moving military personnel a quick manned assets from the persian gulf to the red sea instead to keep out of iranian target range so it's not like the us is cutting off all support of saudi arabia that will continue also the us will continue to go after al qaeda in the arabian peninsula not based on 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 horror between israel and iran but how the us you know the alliance between israel the us the arms deals that the us the billions of dollars that the us makes in weapons and arms deals with with israel including f. $35.00 stealth fighters and on and on and on. but beyond that make you think dozens of covert patients being shuffled between hospitals in the u.k. due to a shortage of intensive care beds and 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 has witnessed the crisis firsthand i guess this shows 2 things. the scale of the condom make and how much was the 2nd wave was the 1st just this week. and how it's actually different cost the country that writes it also shows the real strengths of the national health service in the country circles

the country. they can offer mutual support of the pulse of the country so that this is also a bill 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 this 2nd wave although the daily rate of infections remains high as around 20000 and number of confirmed cases over the past we did see a drop of 25 percent compared to the week before but they didn't put it that it's too early to celebrate so early i think when the infection rates are dropping gives us confidence that we're probably in the peak white now the real question is how long is our 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 our 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 the services which we caught do in the near future because we're still dealing with the kind of it and perhaps with our plastic it will be months before we can relax. and it's not only the n.h.s. coming under pressure 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 hey 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 predations of looked down with more people were lying on food banks like this one in east london which last september used to provide 20 food parcels a day and now provides over 83rd as things have happened which made the our 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 dr why we're situated and sorry day that's about 40 or 50 of them and 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 body downs community association in east london helped $4000.00 people between april and june last year compared with 622 in the previous 3 months the beaumont lease 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 dot more

community kitchen hob in devon said that of the 130 people died help 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. and 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 a church for helping sustenance who have come through the doors that's in addition

to the normal need to fix their butts with the emergency b u k a 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 halle can say just new strain of college 19 could put food bank staff volunteers and the people they support at increased risk of infection and that self isolates and measures may involve the reduction in service of closure of food banks. and it's not just charity workers who are writing to boris johnson one of the nation's senior food policy experts has criticized 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 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 partridge r.t. london. popular video sharing network tic toc has given in to demands of italian authorities and agreed to block children under the age of 13 the concession comes after the death of a 10 year old girl who was allegedly taking part in a so-called blackout challenge on the platform the girl died in hospital after being discovered in her bedroom with a mobile phone the case sparked outrage and led to a tally and prosecutors launching an investigation takes off that it failed to detect any harmful content but agreed to cooperate with authorities early get my colleague you know neil 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

if 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 account 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 to social media is 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 dinner then you're going to

a she hyla they begin to get that they were killed in a thin blade to a point where the take in their own mind and i think having more understanding about how these are amazing but they can also be incredibly troubled 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 it or on it all day so we should not underestimate the power of social media across all demographic groups if you stop kids using tech talk that's 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 light 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 that could be social

media platforms could very easily have a form of registration where i managed to track 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 be put to the carriage children especially to start as early as a permissible we do need to educate young people more kids think that they want they will very often i really bad for them it's our job in 96 i say to help them build they're really ill and also know what appropriate for them and what inappropriate there are things they are going to say that you don't want them to say i mean really or no 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 . to spice successes in its national vaccination program israel has voted

to extend a national lockdown until sunday the decision was made just hours before the lockdown was due to expire the extension comes all thought he's continues to battle poor compliance with the restrictions including among the ultra orthodox community israel's death toll from the coronavirus past the $5000.00 mark on friday artie's polis leah picks up the story that will be ok but they shouting at us that we're no are going to provoke you a situation 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 this community is at the same time of of rao over lockdown measures we simply eat thousands of ultra-orthodox mourners many of them with mosques took to the streets to attend the funerals of to the rabbi. is it caused an outcry in israel and wasn't

the 1st time as the country struggles to deal with its handling of the koran 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 about the ultra dark or for the fury but i do know that under 65 the statistics says that one out of every 10000 people died wrote that's a very very slow lever i actually think that the bigger problem is the fact that the government over here is. making it convincing everyone to take this vaccine that no one has any ideas about and no one understands that was a term side effects about. them i think anyone who doesn't put on an ask is like a murder because it gives to other minds 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's that they

don't believe in the kroon virus liebling the hospitals i can't understand their level that people can believe conspiracy theory members of the israeli government has voted to extend the contract down until friday it's double fines and it's keeping the port shut it's becoming increasingly to me for the police to concho those who refuse to it shit mischa's we requested a comment from the police but they declined to comment at the same time the ultra orthodox community says it's feeling persecuted even 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 coronavirus is imaginary this is what they think she's over having lockdown it's god giving us clues he's hinting to us that we have to fix something up while there are calls for israel to be divided into different codes between 19 so that country. it just says look i cheat if we want the goddess of the religion the ultra orthodox community

comprises some 15 percent of the population but according to the health ministry it also with the since 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 r r t jerusalem. we go live now to define some political commentator amir are in a thank you for joining us on the program is good to see you now israel's prime minister says the lockdown applies to everyone no matter their religion how does he balance that people's beliefs that with their safety. well the problem is that politics got into way of the pandemic and because of israel has an election coming up march 23rd the government is deadlocked it's a lockdown in the middle of that look between netanyahu and benny gantz who

was his main challenger until a few months ago when he joined him and he's know. to be the oldest effect that a lot of the political scene is windell down. to a module of position but because the government was set up according to a mechanism which gives both netanyahu and guns mutual vetoes it is now in your mutual assured destruction moment and they tell you now cannot force any decision without their consent by guns and guns seems determined to take down we seem when you leave the political scene here in about 6 to 7 weeks so what the government did overnight is extent to lock down for another couple of days until the sunday 7 am israel time it's really named the whole question was

whether shopping mall store owners could open their businesses over to somebody this was the entire point but again it's not about a tactical issue destructed you. quarreled. a struggle between netanyahu and guns i was just saying on our screens now these crowds have ultra orthodox communities as they're tended to think that the thinner roles of the 2 rabbis who died recently and they seem to be aware than untouched by the pandemic but why they still choose to flout the rules. well you're asking. him a question but these directed at people who may not believe in reston ality by the very fact that they're all for all of the docs. to do or go out and believe their

spiritual leaders they don't care about the country the government the rule of law and netanyahu is not the pendant on the box representing these very dear mourners the these very drugs for the survival of its date these engage from him and throw their support for anyone else is spinach and the spanish politically is legal situation because he is now standing trial for corruption would be much worse so he's not on the whole sort of dilemma if he does not enforce the coronavirus regulations properly and it will be secular voters will turn against him but if he does the all pro looks policies will turn against him and it appears that keith he will not manage to do both at the same time for

the next month or so. without that i have to find something put in place for those who have not complying with the lock down whatever steps can the government take to solve the issue. well you see fines are fine if you. make forgive me but 1st of all the police have to. define have to tell. the perpetrators that they're being fined and they're not doing it the police the police would rather go to all of these to summon a square somebody who may not be and hearing all the regulations and give them a firearm and then do it to me and also orthodox community and then again the government may not call that the crime so he does a raid even this problem of defiance is not to look at their peers could be their

problem is that wouldn't send the police to disperse the crowds when did they are now crowding. in funerals and other opportunities and this is what everyone i mean israel sees they see through an attorney oh and therefore he's chances for reelection now if you're to be less than 5060 and they are in defense and political commentator thank you for your time. and your. money while the u.s. when also halt is planned that withdrawal of the deaf 12000 troops from germany while the pentagon conducts a review of the trump 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 freeze

any troop redeployments from germany it was donald trump who ordered the removal of american troops in germany accused bolin a fellow nato member of making a fortune off u.s. soldiers and also of not contribution enough to the alliance the plans were slammed by germany which said that they weakened europe's 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 assist training flights in the region brian baca from the antiwar also coalition believes the u.s. militarization only benefits the big corporations. the u.s. unlike earlier empires that had colonies all over the world the 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 their is at 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. moscow has slammed 2 cranes decision to shut down 3 opposition t.v. channels accusing clear of off politically motivated from for ship ukrainian president the law to mr lensky claim for media outlets with spreading kremlin doesn't from asia. we should them. we see this decision as an unprecedented act of political censorship and fair competition is ukrainian law as well as international commitments to protect freedom of speech despite the values of president the lenski ukraine continues to slide into to tell a tear in regime where action to the clampdown also came from the american embassy in kiev which wrote on twitter that is supports efforts to counter russia's malign influence but also called on ukraine to work together quote to prevent this information from being deployed as a weapon against sovereign states are gassed american political writer diana

johnstone is not surprised by the u.s. reaction. any influence you know and say to me queen is quite strong especially when it isn't biden who hasn't been very special relation new crane shutting down they have position is simply refusing to submit your i've noticed that seems to me that 2 men of the dems in the united states and its client states in the mumble so you know shutting down the unions is part of this intellectual little weakness american power it has to resort to undemocratic methods because it doesn't have any good arguments that the united states is really losing its great claim which was great mary of the united states was the liberal malleus and then turned him away. thanks for joining us there are nazi

international we're back with the latest and that's the minutes we'll see about. a focus. next up on dennis miller plus one motivational speaker entrepreneur or real estate magnate and one of the participants an undercover billionaire greg carr dull as he has millions of people follow him i'm going to see what it's all about and none of it's a house of cards or just a house but somewhere in between usually lies their real strength but i've watched them on t.v. and he certainly. is that sort of speaker who you get the tony rock. makes you want to run through a wall was sufficient rather our own that all of this with a graphic card on that as well a plus watt.
