registered a highly infectious new strain of the coronavirus british nationals returning from those nations will have to quarantine a government approved hotels at significant expense to themselves for 10 days and put it 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 car intake 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 our current state and. $33.00 so who would rather come true it's where if you look at lists you could argue there are some machines and though you could always go to sochi which should be the only works 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
5:05 am
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 road paper to be almost it's probably is probably government and not all of us terror groups that. we've had just as various food gentles this what was paid for mccartney they were going to school perhaps the big is on there are many other things which are actually going to rip roarin those of us that are turning round and saying that school should go back that people should be what have failed to persuade the british government what annoys me at the moment the only thing that's not locked down is the borders the government's constantly changing the rules because the reality is very hard time cleaning her. story which they should know who will soon in march last year will they know lockdown countries in the world who talk a lot faster because they focus only on the medical measures we in this country
5:06 am
have given up our democracy giving up our freedom we are now ruled by medical experts and the only way of 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 countries no hotels for them to go through times only are so so good to be getting it was perfect and great new full don't want to suit being scary there were a lot of people who the only way we could stop you variations from outside because trade is to short the box this does not actually answer with respect we have found in the arguments of persuading people to go and all the business they're not going to do it they're worth bearing in mind all that said despite the inoculation push seems one covert vaccine center at least in london as a shutter lee because of a really low uptake the u.k.'s nursing chief warning ethnic minority communities particularly a follow ferrante jab myths k. partridge reports on it. 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 was kind of one assured them out of this is they're put on this and so called. for go away a bit of us 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
5:08 am
misunderstanding cultural confusion or in the case of some patients now tried fear of perceived hostility and racism but concern is also fueled by just information circulating online yet people would not be into avid various reasons what they've seen in social media you know they believe that this vaccine was made too quickly. too quickly not enough to try them to really test the vaccine some believe officials have been too slow to shut down myths i can send you at least 10 videos in 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 combat ing misinformation and admits it's not community could do rail only if it's in the fight against the pandemic if one particular
5:09 am
community remains vaccinated in the virus will seek them out and it will go through their 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 but people are already disproportionately affected by. this virus so if i clean cotton and it's in the communities only dressed to make sure that they do get vaccinated to stay safe to get them to that

point i think simply telling it this is even your own best healthy jessi's not a not because it was doesn't take account of fish huge history of blood across the league communities in the state and that's why they only eat a word with the leaders on the ground shit she's holding nice ations movements in communities on the ground who are all credible alternative. communities. who follow. the french courts had harrowing final arguments in the case of a french minor known as julie allegedly raped by $25.00 fighters the decision on the case that sparked a public outcry is set to be delivered next month or 1st off we spoke to julie's mother who says the trial is a pivotal moment. as you and very worried we are very worried by this process because for 10 years justice has despised us we no longer have any
5:11 am
confidence in the law i think that julie's case 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 i've heard from many that now thanks to this case people are not afraid to talk about such things and take legal action. to his case is just one of many child abuse controversies that have horrified the country millions of french people say they've experienced sexual violence in their family numerous high profile french celebrities have been accused of child abuse activists are outraged to the country still doesn't have a minimum age of sexual consent shall aduba secure reports. for weeks now front says been myatt in controversy surrounding its relationship with sex and children mud has been flung at people in positions of authority is accusing them of incest child rape or of knowing about these allegations and failing to do anything about

of. 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 have been sexually abused in the type of setting that the french government has try to grapple with the chickens coming home to roost to face quality we should do
5:13 am
everything we can to stop the violence against our children and must punish these criminals for their past acts and prevent any repeat of frances they have been cause for a minimum age of consent in france and these are feeling increasingly in recent years. because she doesn't want to pay attention to what's going on and as though a child is 15 and he can consent to incest incest is a risk we have the statistics revealing a terribly high number of the sims is time politicians deal with this system of almost total impunity for acts of sexual violence against minors we still have a legal system of the full. judge success by the challenge even if the case deals with abuse of an infant. now in january a new bill was proposed to tighten the country's laws when it comes to sexual abuse of children now if adopted this law would mean that any sexual relations with
5:14 am
a child under the age of 13 would be a criminal offense they were fronts that those sports croy is of not enough from some quarters. of. i think this issue is cultural how many years all this has been happening in families but hasn't been publicly exposed in fact everyone is keeping silent from families involved in says to social institutions including detroit education authorities even parliament and the state as a whole due to this silence this institutions do exist any victim of abuse is even in institutions since there is in the press or who has power and control over the victim we have a large number of abuse cases and we need to tackle that in a quickly shifting situation the government has now vowed to make any sexual predator ation committee by an adult on a 15 year old child a young girl
5:15 am
a crime however it's not the 1st time the francaise try to do this back in 2018 following public condemnation after there were 2 cases that involved men accused of having sex with 11 year old girls pledged 'd to do the same but that failed it was watered down when a government report concluded it would result in an assumption of guilt meaning france remains the only country in the e.u. not to have an official age of consent in shrines in the law even if that does change for many it would have come late to offer them protection from sexual predators so much even escape. see paris. donald trump 2nd a page with trial in the u.s. senate and today a 2nd day wednesday democrats are trying to prove that the former president incited the capitol hill riots on generate the 6 donald trump surrendered his role as
5:16 am
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 out a nonviolent measures he turned to the violent 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. well the trial evidence started on choose day with a video montage of the riots and then pro-democratic party media pundits were quick to voice extreme shock that seeing that footage.
5:17 am
ah. 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 their video it stopped everyone in their tracks there was silence in the chamber. trump's defense team meantime also presenting a serious of videos back at them showing democratic officials calling for trump's impeachment the clips they to be hoping to trump's 1st year in office designed to show therefore they were trying to force him out of office long before the current charges legal and political analysis on it distorted the avenue and showed you 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 a quantify military apparel was it guys ready for arrests and helmets already
5:18 am
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 own this impeachment trial the charges that have been alleged against the president are that his words caused this event his words but for his words this would not have happened that his words were the incendiary moment that actually caused these seemingly otherwise erstwhile peaceful people to do what they did they're going to say that she should have known better that the rhetoric the volume the intensity and the timing everything but the words themselves and what's also interesting is that the democrats have expurgated and bowdlerized from their initial evidence the portion of donald trump
5:19 am
saying be peaceful do not harm do no harm and that part was removed the only reason this is being done is to prevent donald trump from running again and why is that because many people suspect that internal polling indicates. let the democrats realize that he might be srong again if he were to run in 2024. coming up i'm going to model extends code restrictions even though the infection rates falling so the question is why was up with the break. what smart individuals are doing and smart corporations are doing it increasingly now smart countries are doing is stockpiling because by using flaring gas tricks to

today so germany's extending it slowed down to march them despite a full infection rate chancellor merkel agreed with local governors that new code would variants pose a dangerous threat. deserve the standard little bit there is a risk of a 3rd wave that we must fight and we can only do so if the incidence rate comes down significantly so that health authorities regain control over the virus and can trace coded patient contacts 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 the ilo who's the head of the state of rhineland
5:22 am
pollinate 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 to mull tenney's insteps people are broke enough to months in lockdown. german chancellor angela merkel has ceded ground not just on the date a there with one of the biggest moves that we've seen is that the reopening of schools kindergartens and daycare 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 a school could be back as soon as monday next week there's also a move 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
5:23 am
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 per 100000 that's where it has to get 35 tases 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 ends on the 7th of march angle of merkel despite watch as 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
5:24 am
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 that point i. knew in the next machinery hire firm in northern ireland than. exposed the absurdity of post trade rules it's no good to clear any dust soil or other organic material from equipment before sending it to the next customer in mainland u.k. more red tape the company had safely rented vehicles previously for 40 years without having to do these so-called soil tests but even laws now force time consuming steam cleaning after each client even though northern ireland is part of the u.k. there was a child photo operations manager described a bit more the drawn out new procedure it is it's very difficult to know obviously you know we were never able to really this before so it sort of increased our timescales for bringing starts across from today the way it works we have to
5:25 am
arrange for an inspector to go to the location where it is going to carry out the expression and if they find you know any any sort of particles or any motor anything on the vehicle load potentially refused to issue so it's difficult to bring it across on the ferry to enter northern ireland you know that there could be a sort of particles of light particles on the road but the lorry is not that i actually have to be inspected it's just the fact that i was inspected and please so i could just pick up the phone you know made a phone call or earlier you got it all sorted because you got it back but this isn't a matter of you know the signal tomorrow morning whereas now we have to sort of give them a good bit of notice to be able to go into the supplier get that activation everything done and then we've got to go to court to present that accusation as well. brussels says the u.k. still not doing enough to implement checks on goods moving between northern ireland and mainland u.k. it wants more border entry posts even though new polls find almost half of all u.k.

exporters are already struggling to meet these new rule changes brought in gary burns again says it shooting up costs to. well i actually said one of the fred counsels with the chart is that your majestic says well you know so we're always on lobby and i'm looking at different ways that we can make things easier and a number 3 process to try and reduce the process that we have to do at the minute it is a lot of paperwork it's a lot of time and a lot of money for certain companies as well you know so we have to you have to lobby and sort of look at something so that the bureaucracy side of things and much much as what we can going forward i don't think they will change anything in the near future i think possibly you know further down the line once things are started to run a little bit more smoothly there might be some corners that can be cut you know and some of the bureaucracy can get moved taken away but i'm not you know how do i get her hopes really sort of going to future at all. a brave new world that's why
5:27 am
things are looking so far this is a thanks ever so much for checking this out as ever for me kevin 0 in the chamber on the scenes in the newsroom we appreciate you watching don't forget check it out any of our social media to plenty to get teeth into but have a great day. new gold rush is underway. flocking to the goldfields hoping to strike it rich. as. those that work children are torn between gold. was very poor i thought i was doing my best to get back to see which side will have the strongest appeal. is your media a reflection of reality. in

really bad. hi i'm max ties or this is the kaiser report lots of jail political news to cover. well we have stories here about nigeria because in the 2nd half we interviewed ray yousef who is the c.e.o. and founder of paxil dot com and the important thing about this is that we did interview him before just before friday afternoon when nigeria's central bank orders banks to close accounts of off crypto users any breaches of the order would face severe regulatory sanctions the central bank warned just so you know for the 2nd half we interviewed raised before that but the important thing about this is
5:30 am
the central bank is you know banning banks from doing business with any companies within one geria who deal with crypto currency of course india tried this about 2 years ago and then that ruling got overturned by the supreme court so now nigeria is doing this amidst you know some pretty high inflation rates of 13 percent and of course the scope at lockdown which is restricting already the financial grid built on top of the dollar so i want to remind nigeria an important point that one of the greatest investors in america said just this past year about 6 months ago he said. is a bet on human ingenuity that's really important when you look at nigeria because nigeria is blessed on the one hand with a lot of oil but it's really blessed uniquely so for for my.
