here watching our to international bring your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. new mutations of covert 1000 are likely to require a complete reflux nation of the british population later this here that's a warning coming from prime minister boris johnson. i think we're going to have to get used to the idea that revenge. as we as we come to a place where it's almost 4000000 cases have been confirmed in the u.k. since the start of the pandemic i mean only 115000 people have died at the worst toll in europe the country is now accelerating its track and trace scheme with volunteers going door to door to check whether or not people how the disease a study shows the u.k.'s astra zeneca job offers only limited protection against new or of the virus variants but some researchers want to continue the use of the
9:02 am
shot arguing it helps protect against the worst effects of the mutations. it comes after the head of the parliamentary health committee said the cogia response had been mishandled jeremy hunt added that above all the government should have reacted quicker 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 tough new measures for travelers to the u.k. will also come into force on monday legal experts including top u.k. judges have heavily criticized the government's threat to jail or rivals who lie about their travel history or coroutine plans secretary announced the controversial regulations and parliament anyone who lies on the passenger locator form and tries to conceal that i've been in the country already this in the 10 days before arrival here will face a prison sentence of up to 10 years actually
9:03 am
a ridiculous thing for the sick to 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 fine does mr hancock really think that non-disclosure of a visit to portugal is worse than the large number of violent forearms offenses were sexual offenses involving minors for which the maximum is 7 years. the rudderless refers to $33.00 nations including brazil and south africa which have registered highly infectious new strains of the coronavirus british nationals returning from those nations and others will have to quarantine government approved hotels at their own expense for at least 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
9:04 am
sure that people are all this this lesser so i did recover from up with current state and. 33 so who would read some truths or if you look at lists you could argue there are some machines and though you could all agree that. the only other acts 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 jory 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 are critics that. justice is very astute gentles this what was paid for government they were going to rule katzenberg is wrong there are many other things which are going to wearing those clothes that are turning round and saying
9:05 am
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 hotly viral there are 3 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 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 she's 3 countries now who chose to go to college and are going to need a soap so going to be getting it was for our good new full democracy there were a lot of people who the only way we could stop you variations from outside the
9:06 am
country is to show the obvious this does not cost actually actually with respect we have found in the arguments of persuading people to go fast and all the places they're not going to do it despite the inoculation push one coming back same center in london's shut early due to a low uptake and the u.k.'s nursing chief has said ethnic minority communities in particular are falling for anti-tax keenness artist a partridge has the details. 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 on the sure of this is they put on this i'm so cool.
9:07 am
for go away or be. 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 tried fear of perceived hostility and racism but concern is also fueled by just information circulating online get people 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
9:08 am
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 community remains vaccinated 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
9:09 am
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 people are already disproportionately affected by gets by this virus so if i clean cotton at least in the communities only dressed to make sure that they do get vaccinated is 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 just an take account of dish huge history a lack of trust of the communities in the state and mass fidelity to work with trust the leaders on the ground shit she's holding nice ations movements in community on the ground who are credible alternative and trusted by communities.

who want to follow. the highest court in france has heard harrowing a final arguments in the case of a french minor known as julie allegedly raped by 20 firefighters the decision on a case that sparked a public outcry is set to be delivered next month we spoke to julie's mother who says the trial is a pivotal moment. and very worried we're very worried by this process because fulton dina's 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 i've heard from many that now thanks to this case people are not afraid to talk about such things and take legal action. chillies case is not isolated millions of french people say they've experienced sexual violence and their families and numerous high profile french celebrities have also been accused of child abuse activists are outraged that the country still doesn't have
9:11 am
a minimum age of sexual consent child to ports. for weeks now francaise been myatt in controversy surrounding its relationship with sex and children much 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 up out of.
9:12 am
a recent poll suggested that 1 1 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 the type of setting that the french government has try to go. racquetball with the chickens coming home to roost too for 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 there have been calls for a minimum age of consent to rant and these have been increasing in recent years. because she doesn't want to pay attention to what's going on and as though a child who turns 15 and can consent to insist incest is a real scourge we have the statistics revealing a terribly high number of victims it's time politicians deal with this system of
9:13 am
almost total impunity for acts of sexual violence against minors we still have a legal system for the forces judges to consider consent by the child even if the case deals with incest or abuse of an infant. now in january a new bill was proposed to tighten the country when it comes to sexual abuse of children now if adopted this law would mean that any sexual relations with a child under the age of 13 would be a criminal offense they were fronts that those sports croix is of not enough from some quarters. i think this issue is cultural for many years all this has been happening in families but hasn't been publicly exposed or in fact everyone is keeping silent from the families involved in says the social institutions including detroit education authorities even parliament and the state
9:14 am
as a whole you to this silence this institutions do exist any victim of abuse is even in institutions 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 committed by an adult on a 15 year old child a young girl a crime however it's not the 1st time the francaise tried 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 it pledged 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 front's arranged 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 avoid foot that protection from sexual
9:15 am
predators so much even ski altie paris. still had we bring you the latest on donald trump 2nd impeachment trial after the short break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

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 out 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 evidence started on tuesday with a video montage of the riots and pro-democratic party media pundits quickly voiced their shock at seeing the footage.
9:18 am
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 the video it stopped everyone in their tracks there was silence in the chamber. trump's defense team also presented a series of videos showing democratic officials calling for trump's impeachment or clip state back to transfer sarah office designed to show they were trying to force him out long before the current charges got legal and political analysis on the case this story. those are the evidence 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 sipped eyes ready for arrests and helmets already anticipating what they were going to do prior to donald trump saying in fact this
9:19 am
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 is the timing everything but the words themselves and what's also interesting is that the democrats have been expurgated and bowdlerized from their initial evidence the portion of donald trump saying be peaceful do not harm do no harm and that part was removed the
9:20 am
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 indicate that the democrats realize the. he might be srong or again if you were to run in 2024. canadian psychology guru jordan peterson has cancelled a string of media appearances after accusing a british paper of distorting his words in an interview and a blog post the bestselling author said the sunday times had shown cruelty and spite in its write up a book up next on story. put yourself in jordan peterson's shoes you also did an interview in none other than the times and you've got a book coming out soon so your publishers suggest that you do it your commissioning
9:21 am
editor sells it to you as an article that celebrates your life and even office to clear up any factual inaccuracy that may have been doing the rounds while you've struggled through a harrowing near death health crisis wait i can even read you a bit of the letter from the times offering pietersen the interview i like to think retail difficult stories with generous space time and objectivity we run long form features telling the whole story rather than short flashy headlines so you pour out your heart and soul to a nice lady on the result you get a hit piece that topped with a new and flashy headline does lifted with factual inaccuracy as this story was written by this woman. in the head she's the chief interview at the sunday times and judging by this article she's not
9:22 am
a fan of jordan peterson or his daughter mchale or the peterson's have been so good by the article that they've posted the audio of the entire interview online as well as a transcript of the interview and make a peterson's done a reaction video to the article as well they are certainly differences between the recording and the resulting article take for example the sensationalist claim in the paragraph where. it is daughter's words it is like a horror movie a movie in which her father gets hooked on benzodiazepines becomes suicidal is hospitalized for his own safety and then diagnosed with schizophrenia dad died. not just to be clear and has never had schizophrenia he had. which is a very deadly and severe side effect of some psych medications and originally started with benzodiazepines used to treat insomnia and depression associated with an
9:23 am
autoimmune disorder his make a lot in the preinterview telling a head about the the zia. suffering from it's a crawling sensation that makes you not want to stop moving and so it's commonly misdiagnoses schizophrenia because they don't know what it is and in order to treat schizophrenia you get put on psych meds and that causes worsening aka fuchsia and by the way the interview makes absolutely no attempt to expand on this topic of. which jordan advocate of peace and trying to raise awareness about so he was misdiagnosed multiple times mis diagnosed when we finally found a competent doctor he was diagnosed with that which is what i tried to make clear in the interview because lots of people with confusion are misdiagnosed and it kills them there are some videos of what looks like on line and i have to warn you
9:24 am
you may find what you're about to see distressing. the woman in this video committed suicide from the relentlessness of the symptoms but here's the thing about inaccuracy in reporting when 8 compared to peterson's misdiagnosis of schizophrenia as a bonafide diagnosis in the times article it doesn't just cement that era in one newspaper article because of the way we list. stories that want to. do all the news stories after the daily mail published jordan peterson claims he was suicidal and. after that. new york post
9:25 am
publishes jordan peterson says he was suicidal addicted to benzo is and has schizophrenia. jordan peaks and displayed some real vulnerability and that candid interview the recording feels. as if you have encouraged. me that you feel like you're being. used to situation and that's certainly how it appears grotesque for sure. and you feel incredibly conscious embarrassed for the last one i didn't like being self-conscious it was. the problem of being self-conscious so we don't them. if you're in enough pain you no longer and yet the overall tone of the all that's a coach was generous to say the least there's an obsession with likening the peterson family to the trumps and similar tamia sleek how about this comment about

mchale as a pair and. i've been recognisable from the ordinary looking brunette from photos just a few years ago today is a glossy pouting barbie blonde and talks with a zealous spiky conviction of a president trump press spokeswoman his response to that by the way i can't believe how. there are lip injections woman you can get them to. the offical continues to trump the trophy with analogy then she compares him to donald trump because why not parallels with donald trump come to mind another unhappy man closed off from his a mode. projecting strong man mythology while hunkered down in a bunker with his family you can see the world jordan peterson closed off from his emotions a man loves nothing better and a good cry harry is crying in
9:27 am
a previous interview it is only the individual after all who suffers so overwhelming. there's been no. question that trumps close to the been. given courage moment and people need so little encouragement who's. i mean harry is crying during the times interview just 10 minutes into it and fact. i haven't done it. we've even had him crying on our t. well if you heard it to. bring you to tears the sad truth is that the times that a cynical and biased all tickle will have no effect whatsoever on what is probably one of the world's biggest newspapers it can go on printing lies with absolutely no
9:28 am
consequences and they don't still get to interview the biggest stars because that's just how the universe works but the triple problem to clamp back from the peterson's the order of the interview it is to and from the times and mchale is reaction video to the article scored an equaliser for the canadians moreover with this story it is quite clear who the audience is on. answer global news update for this hour but don't forget you can always had to our website r.t. dot com for the details on all of those stories and many more. facts geysers financial survival you know they say money to develop. close to jesus this is a central plank support diatoms don't call them right now say stop the madness.
