international just turned 9 in the evening on tuesday here in moscow is one in the afternoon on the east coast of the u.s. that's where we're starting for you this hour the u.s. senate is now competing for the 2nd impeachment trial of former president donald trump on a charge of inciting an insurrection the proceedings kick off with a vote on whether it's constitutional or not try a president who's already left office there's a heavy security presence around the capitol building where the hearings are taking place the areas sealed off by a 2.5 meter fence and national guard troops are on patrol there it's part of a major security operation that's been running since the storming of capitol hill by supporters on january the 6th the pentagon says the troops will stay there until at least mid march and the entire operation will cost almost half a $1000000000.00 let's go live to our correspondents in new york. watching proceedings for us hi there expect. well this

is the 2nd impeachment trial for donald trump you'll recall that he was impeached once before and now he is no longer in office so he will be the 1st president in u.s. history to be impeached after leaving office now the entire 4 years that trump was president he seemed to be facing one kind of investigation or another now this time at this impeachment trial trump is accused of inciting violence you'll recall that trump supporters stormed capitol hill and 5 people died in the aftermath of a protest that happened on january 6th now the democrats say this was donald trump's fault that he incited these protesters to insurrection that is the charge at the impeachment proceeding take a listen. i know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the capitol building to peacefully patriotically makes your voices are. now trumps supporters say that he simply is not responsible for what what those

protesters did there calling the whole affair absurd and unconstitutional saying that you cannot impeach a president after he leaves office furthermore they maintain that donald trump's remarks did not direct anyone to commit crimes now most republicans seem to agree with that position in order to remove donald trump from office he will not only have to have democrats voting to impeach him to have 17 republicans who cross the aisle and vote to impeach donald trump now the last time donald trump was impeached only one republican mitt romney crossed the aisle so 17 republicans in the u.s. senate to vote to remove donald trump seems rather unrealistic and some speculate that this could actually benefit donald trump in the long term it's keeping his name in the headlines and this could be a win that actually benefits donald trump as he continues to rally his base of supporters take a listen. if it keeps heading down the same way. they're going to push people into

another civil war i'm very worried about this country where it's going. it's a bad thing he's an office we'll be sure peace for these 4 to remove him from office he's already been removed it could get worse and it seems like every day you do good work that's not good for if half the country the size the start going on democrats oh you know. i don't want to be a victim you know and like honestly i never thought about that happening. at those oil. now $74000000.00 americans did vote for donald trump and there seems to be some frustration and outrage about the fact that despite the fact that donald trump is a former u.s. president he is not going to be given intelligence briefings given the standard treatment given to former u.s. presidents this is joe biden's decision take a listen. i just think you need for him to have the intelligence fusion what

value is giving him and tows appreciate what impact is he having all other than the fact he might slip and say something so at this point polls are showing that there is widespread frustration and basically a feeling among the u.s. public that their system of government is unsound according to polls meanwhile very few according to those who've been polled say that they feel that democracy in the united states is thriving so it seems pretty unlikely that another impeachment extravaganza this time against a president who has already left office it's very unlikely that's going to resolve the ongoing tensions in u.s. society. and that unity is still a little bit of a while thought ok we'll be checking in with you again in the coming hours kaleb keeping watch on what's going to be happening on the senate floor also getting live reaction in the coming hours to if another kind of thanks for that. next the case of a french girl who was allegedly raped by 25 fighters to spot protests across from swith protesters demanding tougher laws on age of consent to do but he has the

details. on wednesday you this court is going to be center stage for a case that's provoked outrage here in france it involves a woman known as julie who says she was raped by 20 firefighters between the ages of 13 and 15. it all began when julie not turned real name had been assisted by a firefighter following a severe anxiety seizure 13 in 2008 now it's claimed she obtained her number for medical records and then grew before asking her to undress via webcam it's then claimed he passed it details on to other firefighters who did the same now in 2009 it's alleged a firefighter then raped julie says she was later taken to an apartment where she was gang raped in 2010 julie disclosed what happened to her mother and a complaint was filed 3 firefighters were placed under investigation but no action

was taken against another 17 men also accused 2 of the men have admitted that they had sex with julie whilst on duty and whilst wearing their uniforms a 3rd admitted a sexual act in a toilet cubicle in a parisian hospital where julie had been admitted in march 20th definite judge was appointed to investigate but after 8 years the rape charges were dropped instead replaced by consensual penetrative sex with a minor under 15 this means the maximum sentence that they could receive is 7 years compared with 20 for rape. who were 20 firefighters so the corrosion this obvious when we're talking about a 30 year old child justice system unable to realize that we're not in the fair balance of power and that when julie was raised by 20 firefighters she was raped under duress and she couldn't consent she couldn't accept the rape since she was a child that outcome is said julie hard. and she attempted to take her own life her

family though is determined to keep fighting julie's mother is still globes marked by that decision. the facts are simple julie was 1314 and 15 at the time she was in a very vulnerable state taking medication and trying to kill herself and 20 firefighters came to her all of them admit that they performed a sexual act on her with penetration and yet in france in the 21st century the court decides that the innocent julie's case has caused consternation in france. for almost a decade we have trusted the justice system to make its ruling the court of appeals ruled that the fire rapists were justified given the success they enjoy with women moreover they stated verbal and in writing that the firefighters should be exonerated quote given the rampant sexual interest shown and by women campaigners

hope that the decision reached this court will lead to an age of sexual consent being in troy and in french law calls for a minimum age of consent have been cruising in recent years and in january the senate but a bill to make the age of consent 13 but child protection associations say that that is insufficient charlotte even ski r.t. paris. a motion to force the top diplomat to quit has just been discussed in the european parliament that after around 50 any peace signed a letter denouncing borrow for apparently being too soft on russia during his recent visit with more on the atmosphere of that meeting as our europe correspondent peter oliver. bill zones of m e p's had signed a letter calling for high representative for foreign affairs basically the e.u.'s foreign minister yossi burrell to stand down from his post following this trip to

moscow they accuse him of being too weak when it comes to dealing with russia. had gone there with the intention of pressuring moscow for the release of alexei no vallone what we've ended up with was the current situation that we find ourselves in yosef perella said he's got no intention of quitting his post we've also heard from his boss as well as live on the line the e.u. commission president she said she's going to stand by her man and has no intention of sacking him saying the high representative has her full support now this plenary session that was held in the european parliament on tuesday was quite a heated affair there was a lot of voices calling for the head of mr burrell certainly some scathing criticism of his trip to moscow and a lot of criticism for russia in general as well moscow to be used the visit of high representative bordello to you millie 8 and

a friend the european union they just obviously can't help but show. monitors towards western representatives if you're ill executed a visit you know not only a shame to european citizens you also helps fucci and harms direction people who are real and the on the other hand made a fool of himself last week you must go by his actions he made a mockery of the ambition of the e.u. to play a major role in the world stage wake up call that finally prompted you member states and yourself to to adopt a more realistic and principled russian foreign policy and to move toward sanctions finally among others. of human rights under sanctions least and to suspension stream to. which is contrary to european and it should security police it's certainly got spicier times but there were some voices in the european parliament saying that it was being written that needed to change their attitude when it comes

to dealing with russia imus happy as anybody else to stand up for anybody's rights including new found nice but let's be honest the banks and he's officious and see immigrants racist and maybe 4 percent of the supports and we wouldn't be discussing him us all if he'd been arrested anywhere else other than in russia and the catalan leaders have been sentence from 9 to 13 years in prison for our nation our friend um we have a warning that the double standard applied why do you undermine global pretty billy d. as a defender of freedom. do you cannot go around the world recruit mending. that does not apply. while joseph burrell was in moscow for those talks he held with sergey lavrov the russian foreign minister he described the atmosphere is a trusting war certainly a lot of asians are on c.v.s.

tree. and a number on e.k.g.'s at a low point in our creation. but. we are connected not only by geography. but put out wide range of the story called gold that will have an economic ties but as soon as he arrived back in brussels there was a different statement coming out yes it barrelled said that as far as he was called said moscow had no intention of trying to improve relations with the european union well that prompted the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman various account of to suggest that it had been an attempt for a public whipping of russia where do we stand after all of this certainly a lot of the enemy pays deeply own happy with the high representative for. foreign affairs he says he's not going to quit his boss the commission president says she's not going to sack him so for now at least he's going nowhere. but his

kovacs sputnik v. has passed a major milestone on the road to e.u. approval russia's direct investment fund which is arranging its distribution has confirmed the european medicines agencies received an application to register the covert vaccine he breaks down the process centrally sputnik he has entered the homestretch towards approval all across of the block right now it's in the final stage which is called a rolling review well here's how the russians themselves are describing the stage that the process as is at the audio if the registration in the e.u. on general 29th 2021 and start distributing information to the e m a for ruling review the fund has received official confirmation from the in may that its application has been received it's up to the emmy to determine the speed of the review process so this process is called a rolling review but what does it mean effectively means that the european

medicines agency the e.u. is regulating body is right now requesting document after the document from the russians to see how safe how effective the vaccine is and so on and so forth there's no way of giving an estimate as to how quickly they will make the decision because the ball has left the russian court it's entirely in the hands of the may but the russians are saying they're hoping it will happen rather sooner than later and it could spell great news for all europeans looking to get immunity against covert 19 because right now the e.u. has 3 vaccines proved to be used on their soil by pfizer by madonna and by astra zeneca but when it comes to provides a for instance there has been an extreme shortage in supply and it has led to the basically the pace of the vaccination has slowed down to a trickle sputnik really. has proven it has been proven that it has its efficacy stands at over 91 percent and in fact some countries are already looking to

cooperate with the russians like germany they are looking to become one of the sputnik producers hungary sort of in defiance of brussels not only has it already ordered more than $2000000.00 doses of sputnik the they have already received the 1st batches and the czech republic is kind of contemplating contemplating to do the same but well he says of course are going to hate for instance the prime minister of lithuania she called the sputnik russia's hybrid weapon well a weapon that happily uses on its soil own soil against its own citizens because here in russia mass vaccination has been in full swing and quite successfully too i should say a lot of people have already gotten the jobs that have been no reports of any serious side effects and in fact the russian government is hoping to get about 60 percent of the whole russia's population vaccinated by mid summer and while russia is happy to share its success but only to the one willing. the more headline news

logan a bestselling authors accused of social media giants of censoring ads for her book criticizing feminism fesa carrie greste says her work challenges modern assumptions of what it means to be a woman the book describes the notion of radical toxic femininity which the author says is imposed by society and actually makes women happy told r.t. that current ideology destroys the links that hold families together the book is called the anti mary exposed and it really came about when i started looking at elite women in the culture and i noticed that the values that they had were diametrically opposed from the values that we see in the embodiment of the blasted virgin mary and many different ways that she has helped to build our culture and transform cultures throughout the centuries and the idealist and just expose and and show how much how far we have gone away from these values and there there really are some major problems here that we need to address because women aren't

happy this is you know fundamentally if you look at the numbers if you look at it at suicide rates depression levels and substance abuse s.t.d. and divorce all of these things point to some incredibly unhappy women and this is just something i think we've gotten used to but the numbers certainly tell a story that feminism is not doing what it is we're told it's supposed to be doing which is make us happy. for the bokeh be banned on instagram and facebook which said it doesn't comply with commas policies and violates rules on selling adult products but greste says big tech could be blocked users posts promoting the title although amazon blamed glitches the removal of links to bio work. and light of the content you know compared to a lot of the content in facebook and instagram sound it was really surprising characterization of the book because it's certainly not i mean it's adulterated but it's not i think within the category of what they would call the dark content such as pornography and other illicit materials and there was some glitches on amazon

with my book but i think a pattern as rick is emerging as well there's other books from my publisher that have banned and banned both for sale one of them was stations across for children. of amazon and it was to my land and then other books that have been banner ads have been banned on facebook i think that by silencing means silencing those books they're trying to help they're trying to prevent people from actually seeing what's what's going on in the culture in the way that they're trying to promote these these idiology across the board in the culture in the country you know i've been really encouraged by them and the support that i've had for my book people went out and bought and drove and that was just amazing to see but i think people are really ready for it to be free of this and i think that you know the people that have resources whether it's ideas or arms money or infrastructure we really need to start finding new ways to to build things that can compete with big tech because

that we just keep pouring ourselves into it and not offering enough competition to really balance and out and keep them keep them honest. founder of right wing news website the gateway pundit has been banned from twitter the platform accused him half of spreading misleading information and interfering in electoral processes the site rose to prominence during the recent u.s. election with its claims of voter fraud a few days ago i was to visit video from detroit according to show the delivery of absentee ballots from a polling station several hours after the deadline had passed i would see. pundits promising to release more such videos in the coming days or u.s. election officials have all said there is no evidence of significant. wrote in the 2020 presidential vote which they called the most secure in the country's history but jim hall thinks there's no justification for silencing those who disagree. twitter does not want is to release any more of this information they're citing as as spreading and violating their ethics clause that they just put in where he
