and we'll just move on to the. totally destabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get in for. quite a morning's headlines. between britain and china after beijing bans b.b.c. world news alleging false reporting on its week of muslim population that move coming just a week after u.k. regulators revotes the license of the chinese international t.v. network by the way. french media are outraged at the paris opera's vowed to diversify performances after complaints from black fuelling heated debates about the claimed dangers of. american values. i think there's a kind of laziness of the intellectual process where they say well we're going to copy and paste and they come and they tell us how wrong we all are.

health organization experts return from their probe into the origins of covertly in china a member of the team told us about western claims of beijing good. i see no reason for the chinese side to hide anything. not one of the morning here good morning from russia kevin now in the headlines for you this friday from moscow and this breaking news 1st of all a developing story to tell you about that we 1st alerted you to last at least one person reportedly been injured after a massive explosions told through a supermarket in southern russia the cause of the blast is just to be established preliminary investigations thinking that it's probably a gas explosion there which could always prove nasty and we've got a bit of information in them we're in now for the emergency services and the woman's been rescued alive from the ruins there we don't know 1st the injured person i was talking about a. will somebody else as i say emergency services are at the scene soon as we get

more through i'm out we'll let you know i suppose we'll get some pictures in the coming minutes or hours again we'll go back to that later right other news for across the day for you tensions are growing between the u.k. and china after beijing banned b.b.c. world news accusing the t.v. channel of false reporting about we get muslims britain's foreign minister criticize china's move branding it and an acceptable could tailing of media freedom . joiners decision to ban b.b.c. world news in mainland china is an unacceptable curtailing of media freedom china has some of the most severe restrictions on media and internet freedoms across the globe and this latest it will only damage china's reputation in the eyes of the world. the move is put further pressure on ties damaged by the mass anti-government protests 2 years ago in hong kong a form a u.k. colony of course london then accuse china of violating human rights while beijing cold british actions foreign interference in internal affairs these are early

reports this morning. such practices seriously violate professional journalistic ethics are totally inconsistent with the facts and deviate from an objective balanced and impartial reporting position is full expose the b.b.c.'s malicious intent to confuse the public and smear their week or region through rumors that announcement by chinese authorities that so b.b.c. want need not be allowed to continue their service within chinese territory coming in the wake of our reporting on help china has held a corona virus pandemic in the country saying that they dispute how the b.b.c. of cover the issues that they simply do not tolerate fake news and it follows in the wake of the u.k.'s court costing regulator taking away the license for c.t.s. and the chinese broadcaster and saying that they've taken up my sins away

because the channel when the editorial line dictated by the chinese government we are unable to approve the application to transfer the license to the china global television network corporation because it's ultimately controlled by the chinese communist party which is not permitted under u.k. broadcasting law we provide a c.d.n. with numerous opportunities to come into compliance but it has not done so we now consider it up. withdraw the license for c g t n to broadcast in the u.k. now the chinese decision to ban b.b.c. well may not have many messages consequences that is the channel that is a great thing watched the growing china over in chinese hosts it's the channel that made you draw because all watched by visitors in the hotels but it just goes to show that even in the wake of trump leaving the white house in the hopes that many have the west in general and china may begin to rebuild their relationship with

this type of tit for tat action when it comes to the opposing sides media outlets certainly doesn't build confidence for the future we discuss the situation with our gas political analyst chris bambery of the u.k. based politics lecturer dr pat wall. sure i'm sure the c.t.a. has goalie to change its governments but the b.b.c. foreign service is run funded by it for this that's well known british secret a very aggressive policy over how and why various other things in line with the united states the traditional british rule in that situation we're talking about soft power soft power is the use of the media you know these to influence events in other countries to change the bridge to that yes it was serious of course this is an escalation but once the british guy actually did c.t.'s this response was sure sure to follow its neighbors of all it did with all the other poker see here we see

every government control of the media control of the media is rife not just in china you know ticking i think from the kind of more strategic point of who are engaging in the hope it will information war on the on the british side are trying to pick on the chinese side on the and on the chinese side. of things that affect me was annoyed but also all pick on hong kong and in other going to the british representation of china in general after china signed these europe china investment deal last year and last night the relationship between china and google has significance improved but because the president. of the europe and the u.k. has to find a way to work with to buy than a miscreation and so all china would naturally you see in the u k would be u.s. side of the u.s. from time now on. the world health organization expert team probing the origins of

covert is continuing its dispute with the u.s. meantime she's accused china of hiding facts were investigated is. china gave them very controlled and limited access and got a report that was inconclusive and supports narrative. that there is just return from the city of will hound where the virus was 1st detected back in december 29th its initial findings debug claims that the disease originated in the lab we spoke to show team member about what they found is. how successful was our mission i believe that we have fulfilled our program this was only the 1st part of our investigation and we didn't expect to determine the origin of the pandemic already w.h.o. team and chinese specialists work together as scientists it was something like a huge conference where we shared opinions and information analyzed scientific

literature that already exists discussed hypotheses and assessed possibilities i see no reason for the chinese side to hide anything they probably didn't do that because in the scientific world it is very difficult to conceal something information could be hidden from the public but it is more difficult if it's people who really understand the issue. yes. there are 2 hypotheses about how the virus appeared the 1st is that the virus may have been induced the suspicions have already been refuted so we're not even considering this the 2nd is that a natural virus came from the lab we were at the institute of uralla ji observing the work with viruses and concluded that everything meets safety standards and leakage could not have occurred since this lab is far enough from the market if there was a leak and we'd see signs of it there for such

a leak is practically impossible we looked at hypotheses in the probability category it is likely that the virus came from space so it's impossible. we know from past epidemics for example sars covert and mares cove that bats are the source of the epidemic moreover they contain genetic cells close to the ones that cause the pandemic but we also know that the transmission of the virus did not occur directly from the bat the previous time sars was transferred from a civet cat mers from a camel so there must be some other intermediate animal it is the most likely have potus is based on our knowledge. portuguese health officials are recommending to extend their no east countries covert infection rate has slowed but

on the other side of the country still registering a high daily death toll one nurse told us but the current situation. but i mean. the situation is still very difficult we have more patients hospitalized in intensive care than the total number of beds we had prepared to make it is a huge difference from the 1st wave we were less prepared for the 1st wave we didn't have the supplies available fortunately at the time we anticipated it would get worse so we did not have the same type of pressure on our health services during this way we have the supplies we have the knowledge but we were completely overwhelmed by the number of cases reaching us and we lack human resources. since the start of the pandemic the country's recorded almost 780000 coronavirus cases and nearly 15000 death health workers say they're still struggling so much to cope with the number of covert patients in intensive care me i'm out there but my

biggest personal concern is feeling that we were not able to do everything our health workers are very competent but they are immensely tired i see it in my colleagues colleagues who are tired and need holidays breaks and calmer shifts what motivates me right now is knowing that we are making a difference and to be able to achieve positive things in this moment to know that it is possible these nurses these doctors these assistance and these technicians have a very important mission to fulfill and they are fulfilling it and all together we can overcome this adversity. japanese government meantime said millions of covert vaccine doses likely to go to waste because of a lack of specialized syringes to get to the stuff the health minister explained the problem with the pfizer. the syringe is used in japan can only draw 5 doses we will ease all the syringe is we have that control 60 he says but it will of

course not be enough as more shots are administered the government is requesting medical equipment manufacturers step up production of the special searches. japan's poor pfizer shops are not late $72000000.00 people in theory but they're acquire these special syringes without which it's only going to be able to cover they think around $60000000.00 something short for my colleague jacqueline virga spoke to lawrence young a professor of molecular on college and who thinks this syringe problem should have been anticipated in a way this isn't a surprise but is a terrible thing if it's going to end up in wasting doses of that precious vaccine those calls some problem here in japan and it's also causing problems in europe we know there are going to be shoes about the supply of syringes and need of the. other aspects of the scenes that we're going to need to to roll out the vaccine across the world as you're pointing out earlier the same problem is being reported in many countries not just ended in japan do you think the manufacturer should have anticipated this problem or is this something that just came about i think you

should have it out has made it in a way it's not unlike the problem we all had at the beginning of the pandemic we'd p p e with personal protective equipment there were not enough face masks gloves suitable suitable plastics for cover for covering covering yourself and i think this isn't an issue that came up because we just weren't expecting that the pandemic and p.p. now in terms of manufacture on the world has increased enormously in an enormously i guess we should have predicted. america roessler was threaten to ban unvaccinated muslim residents meantime from attending mosques the call comes amid growing concerns over low vaccination rates in some parts of the city covering that for this morning paula slayer reporting. it's an unusual story it the 1st of its kind which was made has this kind of fun texan it it was whoever does not get

vaccinated won't be able to return to a normal routine if arab presidents don't want to be vaccinated they won't be vaccinated but they won't be allowed to enter hotels they want to turn to remarks they won't be allowed to enter schools officials fear a spike in infections during next month's ramadan commemoration when muslims gather in large numbers but are such measures illegal well that remains a question local arabs are certainly against it. a mosque is not the only place to pray i can pray at home i do not want to take the vaccine i am not afraid of corona i am afraid of the vaccine no one can stop me from praying at home she is in the kitchen there are people who are afraid of the vaccine i don't want to take this vaccine and well i don't know what if someone wants to go abroad they have to take a vaccine but to pray why does the mayor care and i have not heard that anyone went to prayer and got karuna. so if i cannot work without

a vaccination they should close all the places half of the people are out they will get paid they should pay us the man doesn't care about people. here in east jerusalem in the code that vaccination rates are the lowest in the country only 13 percent of people have reportedly received the 1st inoculation out of the required 2 and that's despite the fact that israel has the fastest vaccine of all out in the world but things are starting to slow down and now only hof of the estimated $200000.00 vaccinations that are planned each day are being administered this is prompted some politicians to voice some pretty radical ideas of making vaccinations mandatory and lonely early in the if the government says i must get vaccinated then i will because i have no choice. if someone who hasn't been vaccinated is not allowed to go to the old city to pray or to the market or to do certain other

things i think that's ok. i mean i know you don't care but you're there today i received the vaccine certificate i cannot go abroad or to the mosque without this certificate this is what the government is doing for our people you know a place a steeple pay for it and we get it for free that's the difference and now the issue that troubles the country is ultra-orthodox communities and their opposition to covert $19.00 of restriction is just over this week we saw pictures like these i. think. i was told the docs communities have been among the hardest hit by co on a virus in israel but their opposition to lockdown measures has only increased with

intensity and looking at the reaction of arab communities to possible restrictions there are growing fears of possible tape elance as the country continues its rollout program i think of book relations have to be. the books to me it's very important in order to prevent the use of the media and because it's. it's going to be are so. very very so unknown and ali they i think it is not an easy. question to answer because again i don't want human beings to be discriminated against there and but i would say that it's very important and i know that if they don't want of these acts in i think some people who are not that say that because of consequences. and. authorities. are. people. france is stepping up its attack of what it calls american values with

growing numbers of lawmakers and intellectuals claiming u.s. imposed ideas on race gender and post-colonialism no pose a threat to their society a french journalist told us what she thinks is at the heart of the issue i think there's a kind of laziness of the intellectual process where they say well we're going to copy and paste and and and they come and they tell us how wrong we are where some french thinkers blame the u.s. for mass protests across france against police brutality similar to the black lives matter movement in america americas me to campaign about sexual awareness about sexual abuses also gain traction with french feminists a new york times story warns how more and more french people are rising up against what they condemn as wolk leftism even president emanuel mccrone has expressed concern over the import of social science theories from across the atlantic charlotte do because he's got more of the story. french intellectuals and

politicians are said to be up in arms over the cancelled culture ideology seeping over from the united states and spoiling well the french way of life even the french education minister weighed in the reason battle to each against an intellectual matrix from american universities black lives marked me to our examples of movements that flew over the atlantic and spread their wings here now that's led to debates over race gender france's crackdown on islam is still going on is asians and demands for the country to fess up to its colonial past they come and they tell us that we all racist. phobic about our universal values on nothing. and quite frankly i mean there's a combination of incredulity and annoying noise i wouldn't say anger because

we don't think it's rather that europe has existed for a long time. i think we can live without american crystal theory for a few few years and it seems the french of really had enough of council culture so when the director of the paris opera issues it diktats saying that he wanted to diversify staff and black face the editor in chief of one of france's biggest daily papers and took issue making works of art disappear echoes the cancel culture which has been a national sport for america and aims to wipe off the map culture and creators symbolizing the domination of the white male and the oppression of minorities some say this problem it's much deeper it's a threat to its political identity is a threat to the republic and to french democracy and to the functioning of the state it's not a matter of cultural identity i do think that there is. a big threat to civilized

life and obviously freedom of speech and so on by these kinds of movements while imposing ideas on race inequality feels for many a little bit rich coming from the u.s. considering the state to race relations in america right now it doesn't look like their solutions work so well so i'm not sure we need them really but the other thing is that there's this whole speech and discussion about how colonialist it is to impose a different culture on the unsuspecting populations and the french are saying well you are imposing something that may or may not work for your country but it's not working for france i mean after all isn't the whole point of freedom of speech also having some respect for the point of view of others what is objectionable in this room is the idea that instead of having a discussion or a debate or even an argument about it that there should be should somehow become

sold and so we are dealing sorry to say this it sounds rather rude but we are dealing with the difference between intelligence and stupidity it's just stupid to talk like that of course we can all disagree about napoleon or any other historical figure but that's what makes us a civilization that is what civilization is there's a claim that this fight back comes from a small frightened republic that's in decline but isn't it just possible that perhaps france a country with a long proud tradition of intellectual debate the country where the unlighted movement was birthed is perhaps still ahead of the curve well at least compared to america and for now it appears that the whoop left culture just isn't cutting the must it in france so let's even ski arty paris. next to disney stars fall victim to so-called cancelled culture of to being sacked

for social media post of failed to toe a pro-democrat line but a sas could tell reports this morning many who demanded a firing were actually caught then sending identically provocative messages to. disney's finally realizing that life is no fairy tale it couldn't stick to downs and nights and castles and pumpkins no no it has to get political and its fans are switching off i'm canceling my disney plus subscription right now they want to cancel us i will cancel them. i don't normally post but if you fire ms qur'an over her freedom of speech i promise i will cancel my disney employer subscription cancel culture is going too far. cancels disney plus if you were ever tricked into giving them money in the 1st place why instantly now is the same backlash not a bunch of happy smiling kids saying i'm going to let it go oh well

a film company it owns of crumbled under the pressure. laureus of 5 g. to corrado out to the start of the disney plus so the mountain noria. no place for a child apparently because of her apart and unacceptable social media posts which include being skeptical of mustering thinking that trumps impeachment is well out a bit of a hoax refusing to put her pronouns in her twitter handle the most recently comparing the prosecution of republicans in today's america with out over the jews in nazi germany which was one of the dockets pages in human history obviously whoa it was not a hit because i mean you want to go around calling people fascists and nazis but if

you voted for trump you voted for the person who claimed supported you voted for the person who nazis supported by the 2. and we are ready is to say nothing. is happening here is the republican party as a personalized power like we haven't seen it's a cut deal it's a series or it's a fear her and it's also entirely inappropriate to combat genocides to current political tensions right on the same we've seen it in bosnia we've seen it in rwanda where radio was telling people do you know who jews are telling the radio listeners that you are cockroaches and you see them in these videos also did you know miss this memo about bots healing and unity and something. supporters of the camps i don't think we go to treat here is a terrorist the way we do actual terrorists i think we need to consider all all all right possibilities i'm not against sending these people to get mouth.

democratically elected fool or presidents from speaking out the impeachment trial hearings about how the free speech of the fost amendment to allow for those jobs do you see approves of the constitution so processing anyways so young disney on the rocks the people who are up against council culture want to cancel disney for daring to cancel jena who believes that she of the michael peeps are being counseled by society it's all very white mehta the probably should have stuck to fairytales. so you something right now actually the last couple of hours developing story this morning we got pictures in there from cats that is a bird on the map 800 kilometers south of moscow but still in the russian federation that's the capital of a new facility the most populous town in the north caucuses you can see the mess there often think there's been a gas explosion at

a supermarket security guards been rescued from the rubble after a massive explosion tore through the shop earlier on because look last year to be established there thinking if this is really stage of the investigators haven't confirmed it it's probably a gas leak or gas explosion look at the deadly this place up to the level to the ground emergency services as you can see there at the scene trying to clear up the mess. at the moment we're just hearing that one person has been injured despite the destruction that you are seeing there of course let's hope that doesn't change we're going to be worse if it does we'll let you know this is r.t. international. we've got the 3 headed vigilante coming our way we've got the bond vigilantes are coming back there stranded drug dealers shorting bonds now it means that he is going to try to force bond collapse like we saw 993 so he the bond

vigilantes back he's talking about gold then so others just a golden jewel and the big point vigilantes have been here since 2009. they're growing exponentially now and the price of course as it goes under a trillion in this year 2021 it'll be worth more than 4 trillion so those are the 3 headed vigilantes that are now coming for the dollar the dollar is just sitting ducks. join me every 1st day on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics or business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. imagine picking up a future textbook on the early years of the 21st century what are the chapters

called gun violence school shootings homelessness 1st it was my job then it was my fear with dealing with my savings i have nothing i have nothing to lose now i don't authorize aloof or resources i look for jobs i look for everything i can to make this house. in iowa doing this. the road to the american dream paved with good refugees into this very idealized image of our america needs americans look past the depths that happen every single day this is a modern history of the usa my america on r.t. .

if. you look up. on us and. there's not much almost. got. down to here what makes a person weak is money. if you don't have money moves away from the. good of the world. it is not easy to get. any 5 things you. don't make cost. money even a form. of the minerals so. it's making a big.
