the headlines this russia's foreign minister be that moscow is ready to end ties with the european union but only if. new sanctions on key sectors of the country's economy. we don't want to distance ourselves from the international community but when we need to be ready for this if you want peace prepare to war. also become a member of the world health organization just back from the coronavirus a century in china. probably didn't catch the virus from bats but from animals to spread and outrage from. american values being for a country that is the renowned power to diversify performances after complaints from black dancers we hear from the french just. like 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. follow they're just gone 5 o'clock in moscow you with r.t. international now the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has warned that moscow is ready to break ties with you if it imposes new sanctions that harm key sectors of the country's economy with more is. or you will still wish to go to we're just saying that we're ready to do this if we see once again like lucy numerous times before that brussels imposes sanctions that pose restore economy specifically to the most sensitive sicked is once again we don't want to distance ourselves from the international community but we need to be ready for this if you want peace prepare for war as well it is

a pretty straightforward message especially coming from a veteran diplomat which circle of rove certainly is but here the russian foreign minister he's rather showing his hand he's explaining what will happen if the e.u. decides to follow through with a plan to impose new sanctions and if these sanctions are crippling to any of the key sectors of russia's economy world this is what will happen but again moscow has already confirmed that it will not initiate the process and will only react to what the e.u. will do this frustration it stems from from his meeting with the use foreign policy chief joseph burrell and even moscow some about a week ago sergei lavrov clarified moscow's and reiterated moscow's position that the if these swap at the swapping of the suspended sentence for a real one for lex in a valley it's an internal matter but at the same time jos a burrell called on russia to release the kremlin critic and world saying that this

case is politically motivated is politically charged and according to. the e.u. diplomats in including jos are borel they are being strong armed into a tough into an unreasonably tough position on russia and essentially they are stripped the ability and the opportunity to do their job of diplomacy or goodness knows where you're. sure to travel to us knowing the complicated situation many were against his visit and publicly declared that he shouldn't come to russia until we quote fix al behavior not only e.u. foreign policy chief burrell but also his. predisposes do not have the capacity to negotiate the whole you point of view was focused on the idea that we turned miss novelle me into a political prisoner but there are russian state laws and they need to be respected as for human rights i reminded mr burrell that we've long shown readiness to hold a constructive dialogue based firstly on facts and secondly not on the unilateral basis for this little ritual and from the very get go joseph burrell was put in

a very tough conditions by his e.u. counterparts because there were critics who were saying that he should visit prussia at all but when he came back from that visit just all al broke loose they did the diplomats in the e.u. parliament they didn't mince any words moscow the busa the visit of high representative bordello to you merely 8 and offend the european union your ill executed visit you know only a shame to european citizens you also helps fujian and harms dressin people mr burrell and the on the other hand made a fool of himself last week you must go wake up call that finally prompted e.u. member states and yourself to to adopt a more realistic and principled russian foreign policy and to move toward sanctions finally among others to inclusion of human rights where late just under sanctions least and to suspension of north stream to choose country to european and its to

security police but this quiet car plowed quiet of condemnation it was interrupted by and i wish member of the european parliament who pointed out that as she sees it the the only reason that election of only gets so much attention is because he was jailed in russia and that the e.u. is using him simply as a political pretext to slap more sanctions on moscow imus happy as anybody else to stand up for anybody's rights including the 1000 east but let's be honest if that was when he said fish yes i see immigrants racist and made before proceeding. sense of the support and we wouldn't be discussing him oh if you've been arrested anywhere else other than in russia so made the following point as well he said that russia is already independent of him militarily so russia does not rely on anybody or russia is an arms expects it's exporting arms and basically saying that russia

should do the same thing but with its economy. if anybody decides to impose more sanctions and cripple some crucial economic sphere of russia then you should just wave goodbye and say well if you're closing this door we won't we won't be standing there knocking you go she's done of there will be also discuss the situation with independent political analysts gilbert doctorow he thinks that a tit for tat strategy could lead to enormous economic damage on both sides. if the with question here which go to judge of the 2 to gesticulate in james you russia's economic existence is they did as they rested cherry was access to the script to iran where i could see the drastic extremely high or for action in the economic sphere taken by russia the way it was given or

war or more so you have to have long been distrust among the national russia it is the midwest and the west in your specific to all the destruction of orm energy security within the has been used to frustrate. the north korean to project has always given me the military mind you can react states where it or it can concern was it was risky it was the russian structure of the capsule castro plans. can cause will remember to both sides welcome leaders very close to home and have to do it. now a member of the world health organization team that is just back from china has told r.t. that it probably wasn't bats the past coronavirus to humans he said that even if

the disease originated in bats it was likely transferred to humans via other runnels scientists that immediate cold has been probing the origins of the pandemic in the chinese city of. we know from past epidemics for example sars cove and mares cause of that bats are the source of the epidemic moreover they contain genetic cells close to the ones that caused 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 participated on our knowledge as well the virus was 1st detected in the city back in december of 2019 the same initial findings to also the bun claims that the disease originated in a poetry however the u.s.

does think that beijing is hiding facts from the experts. science needs to lead us out of this pandemic and in preventing the next one geo political battling has already made that path harder is to learn to trust in the global systems we set up after world war 2 and give them a chance china gave them very controlled and limited access and got a report that was inconclusive and supports narrative. of light emitted cough again to tell us that he thought that beijing had been transparent. 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. 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 says 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 this lab is far enough from the market if there was a leak we'd see signs of it therefore such

a leak is practically impossible we looked at hypotheses in the probability category it's likely that the virus came from space so it's impossible. now it is nice has fallen victim to so-called cancel culture after being sacked for social media posts that fail to tell you a private democrat trump lying but a sask tale and i reports many who demanded her firing brashly caught sending similar privoxy of messages to. disney's finally realizing that lives no fairy tale it couldn't stick to down saloons and nights and calls a pumpkins no no it has to get political on its funds switching off i'm canceling my disney plus subscription right now they want to cancel us i will cancel them. i don't know many posts but if you find these qur'an the for have

freedom of speech i promise i will cancel my disney plus subscriptions council culture is going to far cancel disney plus if you were ever tricked into giving them money in the 1st place why instance we now face a backlash not a bunch of happy smiling kids sing along to let it go oh well a film company it owns of crumbled under the pressure of laureus a 5 g. to corrado that's the start of the disney parks so the mountain noria. no place for a child apparently because of her apartment 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 while it was not a hit because i mean you want to go that route one quoting 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 support. 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 caesar it's a fear her and it's also entirely inappropriate to combat genocides to current political tensions right amazon 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 listen. as the 2 were cockroaches and you see them in these videos also did you know miss

this memo about on healing and unity and something trump supporters to towns i don't think we need to treat here is a bank terrorist the way we do actual terrorist i think we need to consider all all all i possibilities i'm not against sending these people to get mouth and democratically elected former presidents from speaking out but only impeachment trial hearings about how free speech foster among burnt out for those job dual c. approves of the constitution so processing anyway so young disney on the rocks the people who are up against council culture want to council disney for daring to cancel jena who believe that she had other michael peeps all being counseled by society it's all very cool like metta of the probably should have stuck to the fairy tales. that i have for you this hour or so proves promising a radical rethink of its approach to diversity although not everybody is ready for

the change we'll get opposing views from experts just after the break. we've got the 3 headed vigilante coming our way we've got the bond vigilantes are coming back they're stranded drug dealers shorting bonds now it means that he is going to try to force bond co-ops like we saw 9093 so he the bond vigilantes back big he's talking about gold then so are others just a golden jewel mts and the big point vigilante is i've been here since 22009. and 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 trial so those are the 3

headed vigilantes that are now coming for the dollar the dollar is just sitting ducks. join me every 1st week on the alex i'm unsure and i'll be speaking to the world of politics sports business i'm sure business. without international now french intellectuals are stepping up their attack what they call american values they claim fashionable left decide to import from the u.s. have no place in france and say that they pose a threat to french society these are warnings are new for the country with the president and other government officials already raising fees. the certain social science theory is entirely imported from the united states with the problems

which i respect and which exist but which is just added to. the reason battle to wage against an intellectual matrix from american universities some national thinkers blame the u.s. for france's mass protests against police brutality similar to america's black lives matter movement america's me to campaign on awareness about sexual abuse is also gained traction with french feminists charlotte whiskey explains now the transatlantic headache. 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 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 are black lives matter to our examples of movements that flew over the atlantic and spread their wings

here now that's led to debates over race gender français 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. annoyance i wouldn't even say anger because we don't think it's run of that europe has existed for a long time. i think we can live without american christian who will theory for a few few years more 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. i 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 of 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 actionable in this. is the idea that instead of having a discussion or a debate or even an argument about it that there should be this 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 this 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 in is perhaps still ahead of the curve well at least compared to america and for now it appears that the one who collects culture just isn't cutting the must it in france so let's even ski r.t. paris. well the paris opera diversity scandal that we heard about there did erupt when black performers complained about almost white casts and also the use of blackface in performances you organizations artistic director agrees. we're not here promoting a climate of censorship or dictatorial actions from the leadership the whole point of this initiative is we want to put on opera and bi-lo by 21st century artists for 21st century audiences while the pledge to hire more people of color is part of

a 66 page report by the theater and alexander neath who you just heard from there was also quoted by the monde newspaper warning that some performances would disappear from the repertoire if deemed to be insensitive but the plans have sparked a condemnation too from traditional commentators in the french media and also from the nationalist politician marine le pen we put the issue up for debate. this year is really political correctness gone mad because they actually do have 5 black ballet dancers in there so i really don't know what the people who are calling for change here are all worried about we have some talented people here who are false to live friends express that the one where this is a huge problem and what alex underneath is saying now is he's take he's taking the problem to the roof that's mean that into recruitment he's changing the way a for a critic meant cripple and it's a very new thing in france because we know that this is a very elitist well what you should do in every case is pick the best person for

the job the most talented the most skilled person for the roles the parasol they have their ballet school and they've changed their admissions procedure to let people in from ethnic minorities and black people to come in and as they come in through the system they're actually going up into the opera so this is already happening and hopefully the people that come through will be selected because they are talented and skilled we need of course the best dancer to be in but before that we need to open dodo the thing is today the door close for the and the minority this is the right reality is to have the most the wanted people in this new joint so for example what he's doing he's a law then so for example to have the dress who much would the court of that sit lotsa because a lot of young dancer west pushed away just because they didn't fit to do to do white tour we can say we need to adapt the density of the people who own and was

wondering about that the whole debate here is that they're actually talking about reducing the repertoire and changing the kind of performances they put on because some people have chosen to be offended about things that have been there's been no problem with for decades or centuries the region of the classic is the right out of bali this is the origin but we have to say that france and england and u.k. and germany and do you. as today in 2021 it's not the same france. or france or the u.k. and the population in europe is different but i wouldn't agree at all i don't think that we need to change performances in the way that they've been written this is this is a conservative opera house conservative company it is there to put on classical performances they shouldn't be changed just because a few people this year decide they should be changed a certain way what will happen in 20 years time 50 years time someone else might come along and say oh well we need to change them again and again and again look

they should stick to the classical way it should have been done the way that they've always been done that's what audiences want and that's what they should be sticking to. the baby had a hero not enough money to sap president biden has reversed the emergency order of his predecessor donald trump to build the mexico border war adding that no more taxpayer money will be spent on the project however when you've ministration is not stuck between cold saying keep it in place or spend even more funds trying to tear it down kind of mopping reports. ah i promise we will build the wall was you may have heard dan a lot of times the promise some argue got donald trump elected the idea that got government to a historic shutdown point in time shall call for i will shut down the government if i don't get my will none of us if you want to know something you've said ok you want to put that do i said i'll take what the american taxpayers can relax now with

biden in office no more money is being wasted it shall be the policy of my administration that no more american taxpayer dollars be diverted to construct a border wall and then i'm directing a careful review of all resources appropriated or redirected to that end but what about the $15000000000.00 already spent on this wall furthermore tearing it down will still require the tax money joe biden is talking about democrats always spend more money than they have because spending money is integral to building the power base they want to build build they don't care at all about the safety and solidity of the currency you are the budget public money is to them a tool for power the more they have to print and create to spend the further in debt they put us the happier democrats seem to be anyway with the political climate the way it is currently in the united states it seems that biden is really going to

have no choice people are calling on him to tear it down and it's time for the biden administration to step up from border communities and commit to mitigating environmental damage and tearing down that wall so tear it down or leave it up as a monument to trump's racist policies as some democrats are calling for it looks like joe biden is downed in limbo when it comes to walls barriers and fences furthermore he also doesn't seem to know what to do about the big a razor wire fence around the u.s. capitol. is it a critical doesn't it nuts because it is democrats a love as an walls nancy pelosi has a very large security wall around her own home now they're going to try to wall in washington d.c. and claim that it's dangerous violent trump supporters that require them to do this if rumps history trumps legacy is completely unacceptable to democrats and they are determined to reverse everything so that they can pretend that trump never existed
