courtyards international in the headlines from moscow this morning ministers want britain to prepare. the nation and every also. raises the specter of new strains of coronavirus. u.k. presence for cody in new laws with a 10 year jail term must've 10000 i'm fine for anyone who lies about coming from states with high coded rates or deep fails to quarantine a rival. germany extends its law now to march as fears grow new strains could stop falling infection rates leading to a 3rd wave maybe of the pandemic. another used state of peach when trial enters day the democrats trying to bolster the case that the former u.s.

president incited an insurrection. of the morning good morning this is our team here at live from a world news center in russia 1st then british prime minister boris johnson has warned of the emergence of coronavirus mutations that could force people to have to inoculate themselves again all over again this autumn. i think we're going to have to get used to the idea of that actually to revalidate in the in the autumn as we as we come to place these new variants johnson nevertheless claimed great strides in the vaccine campaign with more than a quarter of all english adults 13000000 people than already getting the jab the vast majority of those over 75 also have the shot everyone in what's known as the

top 9 priority groups will be inoculated by april it comes as the number of infections edges towards 4000000 there with almost 115000 deaths the head of the parliamentary health select committee admitted mistakes have been made to in the handling of the crisis so far as a country we have not got everything right in our pandemic handling we need to learn lessons and the biggest lesson of all is that in a pandemic you have to act faster than the virus despite the inoculation push one kogan vaccine center in london shut early because of a quote really low uptake the u.k.'s nursing chief warning ethnic minority communities in particular a fall of anti jab myths are to skate parks which reports. the u.k. has the highest coronavirus death toll in europe and research says ethnic minorities are up to 3 times more likely to die but this vaccination harbin the multicultural area of happening in east london had to reduce its opening hours

because minorities are more reluctant to get the job due to mistrust of the government i'm still watching. through many things on the media. these really really don't have so i don't know i was kind of on a sure with the amount of messages they put on this i'm so cool. to go away a bit of a plenty of statistics reflects the mistrust a report on behalf of n.h.s. england claims that almost twice as many white overate is have had their 1st injection compared to elderly black britons while an overwhelming majority of black people said they were are likely to get a vaccine if offered want a race equality think tank says the lower numbers aren't about vaccine refusal that fear is often based on past experiences whether incidence of simple misunderstanding cultural confusion or in the case of some patients now trade fear of perceived hostility and racism but concern is also fueled by just information

circulating online yet people are not going to have it various reasons what they've seen in social media you know they believe that this vaccine was made too quickly. too quickly not enough time for them to really test the vaccine some believe officials have been too slow to shut down on t.v. x. myths i can send you at least 10 videos of my whatsapp that have been circulated from since about last march with doctors other professionals you don't know where they've come from but all you can say about them is they're clearly and to vaccines and they claim to be protecting the minority community from something that will harm them and the u.k.'s medical chiefs say they're committed to combo. misinformation and admits is not community could only if it's in the fight against the pandemic if one particular community remains in vaccinated and the virus will seek them out and it will go through that community like wildfire that's not

something any of us wish to see which is why we're spending a lot of time and a lot of resources in this area. the big message i have for everyone is this virus just doesn't care what ethnic background you're from it just doesn't care about the color of your skin or where you live in the world the virus does not discriminate the u.k. has made significant progress with its vaccine rollout which has been faster than most other countries but to see the program completed a key obstacle needs to be overcome convincing the most vulnerable communities to take the job of b.c. you see a continuing nation of the existence of the virus that people already disproportionately affected by gets by this virus so it's 5 clean paulton and it's in the community's only interest to make sure that they do get vaccinated to stay safe or to get them to that point i think and simply telling it this is even your own best healthy

jessi's not a not because it was doesn't take account of dish huge history of the lack of trust of these communities in the state now it's fired elete a word with the leaders on the ground churches hold the ninety's ations movements in communities on the ground who have got credible alternative. communities. they will follow. me time travellers to britain face huge fines and prison terms if they lie about their travel history or quarantine plans when to put that contentious issue up for debate later in the program. is. now over in germany been extended to march now despite a falling infection rate chancellor merkel agreed with local governors there that new code variance could undermine progress. put the word that we have made it clear once again today that certain measures will remain in place the contact restrictions non-essential private travel and visits should be refrained from the

call for home office which also applies until the 15th of march for the time being should be taken very seriously lock down in its broadest sense has been extended here in germany through until the 7th of march the german chancellor angela merkel had wanted that day to be the 14th of next month but has ceded some ground there now it does seem like this meeting between the chancellor and the heads of the 16 states that make up germany was another fraught affair they all have been during this pandemic but we heard from. who's the head of the state of rhineland pull out nate in the south west of germany who described the chancellor is not particularly willing to concede ground the federal government doesn't seem interested in talking about 10 eason steps people are broke enough to months in lock down. german chancellor angela merkel has ceded ground not just on the date either with one of the biggest moves that we've seen is that the reopening of schools kindergartens

and day care will now be put directly in the hands of the states in which those schools are what that means in some states like saxony. and hester the school could be back as soon as monday next week but there's also moves when it comes to hairdressers which is good news for the likes of myself we've started to look a little shaky during this lockdown from the 1st of march headdresses will be able to reopen with some caveats in place there will be certain hygiene requirements masks having to be worn these type of things and limit on the number of people in shops now what did come out as well is an all important figure this is $35.00 per 1. 100000 that's where it has to get 35 cases per 100000 of population if the week long indices the 7 day indices gets to that point then we

could see museums galleries of the establishment opening up including non-essential retail what is not on that list is restaurants and bars for in-house dining they will remain closed certainly until the current lockdown as it set out on the 7th of march angle of merkel despite what she was accused of has conceded quite a bit of ground here the last time she did that was back in the autumn of last year and it was followed by a spike in coronavirus cases there will be a lot of attention paid to the numbers to the figures once things start opening up to make sure that we don't get back to the point here over there with a fine where they will germany is extending the lockdown as europe's not kill ation rollovers played by lengthy delays no e.u. chief on the loans admitted for the 1st time the blocks response has fallen shorts notably in its late approval of vaccines and then of the senate just what

effect is that today we're not where we want to be income betting to virus we were late in granting authorization we were to also to mystic about meth production and maybe we also took for granted said the doses ordered would actually arrive on time so we must ask ourselves why and what lessons we can you offer meant to get european commission president insisted to the blocks joint vaccine purchasing scheme is right the world health organization advisor told us not commotion efforts do need to be coordinated across borders. it's not a matter of race between countries who should get 1st and which block should get earlier i think we are all fighting this race against the virus so i think we will have to be. realistic in all these vaccine available 80 plus vaccines all out in the countries but i think these are the countries and the european union in

general need to plan for for its population to be covered by a certain period of time we have to acknowledge that this scale just sheer scale of 19 vaccine is enormous so the demand for the vaccine is not common to the volume of vaccine that we have so there will have to be some privatization because of this global nature of 19 pandemic did the restaurants cannot be within the national boundaries we all need to understand that everybody need to be safe if we want our cell to be safe and within this principle of global society diety we called upon all countries to ensure that this global public good 19 vaccine should be acceptable and accessible to everybody irrespective of the income status or income level this vaccine nationalism will will hurt the country

themselves we should be cautiously optimistic at this despond of time given that we do have a new tool kit on our hands a vaccine the covert 19 vaccine on our hand but i think. we do we need to keep a very very close. vigil on how the virus is behaving how the virus is our people our people are adjusting to days known non-pharmaceutical public health measures of hand washing using the mask and i think this is not the time to drop the god i think this is the time to be more vigilant and do more and soft. the disease surveillance and the response measures. for legal experts including top u.k. judges have heavily criticised the government's new laws to jail arrivals who lie about their travel history or quarantine plans health secretary announced the controversial regulations in parliament anyone who lies on the passenger locator

form and tries to conceal that they've been in the country on the red list in the 10 days before arrival here will face a prison sentence of up to 10 years actually a ridiculous thing for the secretary of state for health to say we're really going to lock people up to 10 years so being dishonest about the fact that they've been to coach who by all means give them a shine does mr hancock really think that nondisclosure of a visit to portugal is worse than the large number of violent firearms offenses where sexual offenses involving minors for which the maximum is 7 years well hancock's read list then refers to 33 covert hotspots including brazil and south africa which is registered at the highly infectious new strain of the coronavirus british nationals returning from those nations will have to quarantine government approved hotels from now on at significant expense to themselves for 10 days we put that up for debate. i think one of the big issues that we've suffered from is

people coming into the united kingdom from hot spot countries we've not had the proper testing at the airports and we've not had the proper current aid but now we've got to do is absolutely guarantee that it would not conditionals our borders we absolutely have to make sure that people are all this this lesser so i did recover from up with current state and. proceed through so greg come true it's where if you look at lists you could argue there are some machines and though you could argue that it's own properties which should be only are x. we have to expect people when they come to our borders to be all east about where they've been and to make a genuine declaration i think that's a legitimate request and in this case we're requesting that people should simply say where they've been jewelry that foreign basics i don't think that's the reasonable thing to take the wrong paper to be almost it's probably is probably government and not all of us terror groups that. we've had just a very astute sense of this whole estate and the government they were going to rule

katzenberg is wrong there are many other things which are actually going to wearing those flows that attending rather than say that school should go back that people should be what have failed to persuade the british government what annoys me at the moment is the only thing that's not locked down is the borders the government's constantly changing the rules because the reality is very hotly viral there are 3 which i should never rule soon and in march last year well we know locked down countries in the world who talk a lot faster because they focus only on the medical measures we in this country have given up our democracy giving up our freedom we are now grown by medical experts and the only way for getting out of that is stopping people coming to the country from red zones and quarantining them properly thank goodness made explorers worth their weight. well cheap 3 hits are countries no hotels are going to go

through times only are so so good to be getting it was perfect and when you fell you want to suit being spoke there were a lot of people who object the only way we could stop you variations from outside because of trade ease to short the obvious this does not. answer with respect we have failed in the arguments of persuading people to go and all business they're not going to do it. the french government's playing to introduce a minimum age of sexual consent after courts heard harrowing final arguments in the case of a french minor legibly raped by 20 firefighters and cases by the public outcry coming off a string of child abuse controversies in the country show due bensky report. it's a case that has shocked france to its core this was brought by the family of a woman who says that between the ages of 13 and 15 she was raped repeatedly by

around 20 firefighters now they demanded that they had justice for their daughter off the previous investigations by the court said downgraded the rape allegations to consensual sex. and very worried me are very worried about this process because for 10 years justice has despised us we no longer have any confidence in the law i think that julie's kane's may have been significant in its own way because for several years now i have been fighting to make this case known to open a criminal case and heard from many that now thanks to this case people are not afraid to talk about such things and take legal action julie and her family now have to wait for the supreme court here in france to have a judgement on her story is one that runs deep in french society for weeks now front says been mired in controversy surrounding its relationship with sex and

children much has been flung at people in positions of authorities accusing them of incest child rape or of knowing about these allegations and failing to do anything about the. a recent poll suggested that one in 10 french people had been the victim of sexual abuse within the family setting that means around 6700000 people in france

could have been sexually abused in that type of setting now the french government has try to grapple with the chickens coming home to roost to fear we should do everything we can to stop the violence against our children and must punish these criminals for their past acts and prevent any repeat offenses they have been cause for a minimum age of consent for aunts and these have been increasing in recent years . to have a legal system that forces judges to consider issues of coercion and possible consent on the part of the child when considering a tree case the judges do this every day because they are obliged to do this by law if we open up the french criminal code we will understand how to define incest or abuse of a small child now in january a new bill was proposed to tighten the country when it comes to sexual abuse of children no if adopted this law would mean that any sexual relations with

a child under the age of 13 would be a criminal offense fronts that those spots croy is of not enough from some quarters it is necessary that any sexual act committed on the person the from minor under 15 by an adult constitutes sexual violence then we distinguish whether there is penetration in which case it is free indeed there is nothing to ration it is sexual assault in a quickly shifting situation the government has no vow to make any sexual predator ation committed by an adult on a 15 year old child a young girl a crime however it's not the 1st time the francaise try to do this back in 2018 following public court. nation after there were 2 cases that involved men accused of having sex with the 11 year old girls it pledged to do this same but that failed it was watered down when a government report concluded it would result in an assumption of guilt meaning

france or means the only country in the e.u. not to have an official age of consent enshrined in the law even if that does change for many it would have come to late to offer them protection from sexual predators so much do you. see paris if you watch the court this morning is 21 past the next truck in this donald trump 2nd impeachment trial in the u.s. senate and the 2nd day on wednesday democrats are trying to prove that the former president incited the capitol hill riots on general. donald trump surrendered his role as commander in chief and became the insider in chief he didn't just tell them to fight like hell he told them how where and when this is dangerous this was a deliberate premeditated incitement to his base and when he ran on

a nonviolent measures he turned to the violence he had every reason to know that they were armed that they were violent and that they would actually fight he did nothing to stop it nothing to help us. by all accounts from the people that were around him he was delighted. the trial over them started on choose day with a video montage of the riots pro-democratic party media pundits were quick to voice this shock at the events. it was. 7 remarkable video by the house managers powerful an expletive laced video timeline disturbing and compelling video staggered like the rest of us by the presentation of the house managers with that video it stopped everyone in their tracks there was silence in the chamber while trips to friends team also presented

a series of videos to showing democratic officials calling for trump's impeachment clips date back to drugs 1st year in office and were designed to show that the democrats were out for blood long before the current charges you got me glimpse a little analysis on the case so far those are grounds distorting the evidence showed we would never know this from the particular evidence that was presented by the democrats but that these folks many of them were already there completely adorned some of them and almost acquires i military apparel was zip ties ready for arrests and helmets already anticipating what they were going to do prior to donald trump saying and this is a political exercise this is political theater this is not subject to any court reviewing what happens this isn't an animal it's shown this impeachment trial the only reason this is being done is to prevent donald trump from running again worse

and why is that because many people suspect that internal polling indicates that the democrats realize that he might be stronger again if you were to run in 2024 this is playing out along partisan lines very predictably so they don't have the $67.00 votes is this really much to do about nothing but it would be a child to impeach johnstone deicide time he was in office that came with the inside russia so be a campaign in russia campaign from from day one. in so many different ways on successful translates into human shutdown being. everywhere which is incredibly dangerous president anybody who's on the left to anyone who is against imperialism in this country because we disapprove in their censorship for years in india so i think trump is how the. censor of the sentient it

remains to be seen with a colleague this is one of the big things that they're examining right now. a feud a split star for the york times then after a veteran award winning reporter was forced out for allegedly for alleged racist language 67 year old double mcneil jr was known for his scientific coverage of the pandemic over the years he worked for the times for 4 decades but last month a scandal grew over an incident back in 2019 seems several school students have been on a trip organized by the paper and they accused him of repeatedly making racist remarks while in an e-mail apology he explained that he did use a racial slur when discussing video in which such a word was used he went on to say it was an extraordinary bad judgment in his part the new york times condemned the reporter's behavior posting a staff member saying we do not tolerate racist language regardless of intent but elite exchange from

a facebook group of current and former employees suggest many disagreed with the firing here's more. we do not tolerate racist language regardless of intent might be the most racist statement i've ever read he did means all races why didn't the new skill do far more to defend and protect the job of a longtime times employee one who at times a tireless heroic work on behalf of the killed to help improve pay and conditions for all and whitey employees why is there to focus in discussions like this almost always isn't ruling in the perpetrators live and not those who are harmed by his actions it's not the 1st racism scandal to engulf a new york times last year readers and staff complained about an op ed written by sen tom cotton saying that trump should call in the troops against black lives matter the opinion editor was forced to resign for allowing that to be published we discussed the story with r.t. host chris hedges who used to work at the paper. well i think we should remember

that the executive editor of the new york times is. african-american dean baquet very fine reporter in iraq are together and dean initially judged that that was a poor judgment call. but it wasn't race that wasn't he wasn't using a derogatory slur either directed at a person or a group of people it was the n. word which perhaps as a white person they should not have uttered but that was dean's initial judgment and then there was blowback there's a very powerful kind of cancel culture especially among the liberal elites that was blowback within the institution and don was removed but you know the reporting of how that word was used. is accurate and i think this was probably overly judgmental and too severe. so i think looking so far this

thursday for me kevin owen in the tame thank you for watching us international don't forget auto cauldron of us social media to keep you posted to throughout the day of a. new gold rush is underway and. thousands of ill equipped will goes off looking to the goldfields hoping to strike it rich is a good. place that you know by those that work children a tool in between gold and education from me was very poor i thought i was doing my best to get back to school which side will have the strongest appeal. is you'll be a reflection of reality. in
