finding claims diplomacy diplomacy is back in his 1st foreign policy speech but it didn't sound too diplomatic when it came to russia. the u.k. faced the growing poverty crisis with charities and food banks inundated with requests for help and a problem facing people from all walks of life. popular video sharing network to talk says it will block children under 13 and it's really off to a 10 year old girl died one allegedly taking part in the so-called blood count challenge on the platform we put the issue up for discussion. parents take some responsibility you know being aware of what her children are like a parent. and. how powerful that is if you stop using ticked off to simply jump

ship and go to another social media. very good morning to you from our team here in moscow you're watching r.t. international with me. our top story u.s. president joe biden has delivered his 1st big foreign policy speech since taking office with a timeline that diplomacy is back running throughout the address but biden seem to be anything but diplomatic when it came to russia joining me in the studio as our correspondent song because it thanks for coming and done so well can we take away from this speech will make you this major this 1st major foreign policy declaration by joe biden since sent a clear message it's out with trump's america 1st in with diplomacy 1st but judging by what he said it seems almost like diplomacy for biden means you know picking a fight with russia within the 1st 2 months that he's been in office. 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 election and cyber attacks poison its citizens are over. we will not hesitate to raise the cost on russia and defend our vital interest on our people. and these kinds of accusations aren't anything new really we've heard them all throughout the trumpet ministration even throughout the obama administration but we've never actually seen any evidence to corroborate these claims and at this point this is something that russia is used to in general it's all quite predictable the strategic guidelines are still the same and they're still alive however some of the basic point seemed biden's speech was somewhat reassuring he mainly spoke about common problems the pun demick climates nuclear weapons now biden might be beating the dead horse of anti russian rhetoric here but his comments came alongside

a lot of 180 degree turns from the policies of the previous administration actually in these include reversing trumps the decision to withdraw all troops from u.s. troops from germany ending support for saudi arabia's military operations in yemen and making l g q politics an integral part of actually american foreign policy and now biden claims that all these policies that the white is that the white house is going to be undertaking is going to bring america back he's made that clear. america is back to plumb lucy is back at the center of our foreign policy as i said of mine are going to address we will repair our alliances in gage's with the world once again not to meet yesterday's challenges but today's and tomorrow's biden said he's going to bring america back but the question we have to ask is back to what we heard one perspective from the former secretary of state mike pompei oh

who actually seemed a bit pessimistic about it. back does the mean back to when isis controlled a caliphate in syria that was the size of britain i don't think the american people can afford to go back to 8 more years of barack obama's foreign policy i hope they'll move forward with a platform so we've got a new administration in the white house a lot of new policies but it seems like when it comes to america's foreign policy towards russia it's just the same old story we're going to be interesting to see how this develops in the coming months i don't thanks for coming on. well we just got the speech we have from a pennsylvania senator breaux small con form a senior u.s. security policy analyst michael maloof 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 there

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 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 in this direction that there's going to be new sanctions on russia. the pandemic is seeing dozens of patients being shuffled between hospitals in the u.k. due to a shortage of intensive cab beds and john you are alone in the n.h.s. chance of nearly 39 patients a day double the number seen during the 1st wave we spoke to a health care consultant who's witnessed the crisis 1st hand. i guess this shows 2 things shows the scale of the pandemic and how much worse the 2nd wave is the 1st just as we project it and how it's affecting different parts of the country at different rates it also shows the real strengths of the national health service and our country circles the country are able to cope they can offer mutual aid and support to other parts of the country or culture so that and this is what a national service is built to do mutual aid which would be very difficult than any

other sort of system although the daily infection rate remains high is around $20000.00 england's chief medical officer has said the u.k. is part of the pay at the 2nd wave where the number of confirmed cases over the past week dropping 25 percent compared to the week before but today to put the cherry says it's too early to celebrate certainly 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 up lassoed going to last for about one being cautious of offering hope will we continually in asia still be able to support the health needs of the nation of r. is a really really big question because many many of our services will have to stop trying she intensive care and research your meds and going through the pandemic as we try and restart some of the services which we call do in the near future because we're still dealing with the conduct and perhaps with our class so it will be months

before we can rely on us. and there's not only the n.h.s. coming under pressure but 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 as kate 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 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 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 $4000.00 people between april and june last year compared with 622 in the previous 3 months the beaumont lease food bank in leicester saw numbers increase 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 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 charge for helping sustenance who have come through the doors and that's in addition to the normal need to fix their butts with the emergency b u k a more transmissible variance 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 isolated measures may involve the reduction in service a closure of food banks. and it's not just charity workers who are writing to boris johnson one of the nation 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 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. the. popular video sharing network tick-tock has given in to demands of italian

authorities and agreed to block the children under the age of 13 the concession comes after the death of a 10 year old girl who was allegedly taking part in the so-called blackout challenge on the platform the girl died in hospital after being discovered there discovered in a bedroom with her mobile phone the case sparks outrage and led to italian prosecutors launching an investigation take talks that it failed to detect any harmful content but agreed to cooperate with authorities earlier my colleague even o'neill 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 affected that people want to use to talk in the same way as they want to use any other social media they'll find they were picked up can say what they like but effectively they must realise the success of their phenomenal this in the use of homes rather as i speak to a large number of parents who when their children reach the age of say 32 they tell

their children well you can now have a social media only to find that their children and all of their children's peter's have had social media accounts for some years already and have simply lied about the right age and therefore it's important that area. take some responsibility in being aware of what the children are up to socially good men to be that you don't really get on them and to your 13 years that they say that has to 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 social media i don't understand how how can a but also how damaging a i mean we've seen so many cases not to let you go to an event you're going to a she hyla they begin to get that they were killed in a thin blade to a point where the taking their own mind and i think having more understanding about how these are amazing but they can also be incredibly troubled 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 and 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 life 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 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 is if i say to help then build their resilience and all. i don't know what appropriate for what and what an appropriate if they were going to say that you go one day i mean really before i was 16 the main thing in life for me was to get into x. rated movie this very fact there were x. rated made the more attractive banning something instantly makes it more attractive . to watching artsy international films economy is well extends its buds national knock down as on forces continue to battle poor compliance with the restrictions among its ultra-orthodox community pastore and more in just 90 seconds.

the ruling classes rarely agree on much but when it comes to china it is agreed the u.s. needs to somehow get tough with beijing which is not really neat engaging china while trying to contain it is that even possible combined ministration will eventually have to answer this question. is your media a reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe. tyson nation for community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is faith.

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 or planning to and outer space this is crazy. moscow has slammed ukraine's decision to shut down 3 opposition t.v. channels accusing kiev of politically motivated censorship ukrainian president vladimir selenski claims the media outlets were spreading kremlin this information

. 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 alone ukraine continues to slide into after the terror and regime where action through the clampdown also came from the american embassy in kiev which wrote on twitter that it supports efforts to counter russia's malign influence they also called on ukraine to work together quote to prevent this information from being deployed as a weapon against sovereign states our guest american political writer diana johnston is not surprised by the u.s. reaction. no i would say to me quitting is quite strong especially now isn't it biden who has a very special relationship a real crank. they have position is simply refusing to submit your i've noticed that seems to me turn of the dumb ones in the united

states and its client states are all in remarkable so you know shutting down. is part of the intellectual little weakness of american power and has to resort to undemocratic methods because it doesn't have any good arguments that the united states is really losing its great climbing which was the great valley of the isles later the liberal values and their turn more of thanks for joining us here on oxy international we're back with the latest at the top of the hour. what else. really just don't all my colleagues get to shake out. and it gets worse

all of them to still think of visionaries me sophie shevardnadze our memories help shape who we are but what if they're not essentially ours can they be false today or top to dr elizabeth loftus cotton to psychologist and research expert on human memory. dr rose of the loftus cognitive psychologist research expert on human memory really great tell you with us today welcome thank you all right so you have been researching memory for decades now and your credit famous for saying

that human memory is unreliable what does that mean exactly i mean i understand perfectly when people just forget things rightly work by remote or what were you was it with then i went to jamaica etc but you mean that even the things that we don't forget that we know that we know are not necessarily true. right of the problems of memory or much more than just not being able to think of something when you want to think about it or forgetting something some fact that you're searching for i study the opposite problem which is what happens when people remember things that didn't happen or remember things that are different from the way they actually were so i study false memories i think i can best explain it by describing a some of the experiments that that i've been doing over these many decades so

a large percentage of the involved showing people say a simulated accident or a simulated crime and then deliberately trying to distort somebody's memory for some detail of that accident or crime so i might. show somebody an accident where a car goes through a yield sign at the intersection but suggested the witness said they saw a stop sign instead of a yield sign and in these experiments many people will adopt the suggestion the we call it misinformation and claim it as their own memory and this phenomenon even house a name now it's called the misinformation effect when we are exposed to misleading information about some of them that we have experienced we will sometimes

accept that misinformation incorporated into our memory and a poor sick.
