just. russian foreign minister. with the european union. sanctions. we don't want to distance ourselves from the international community but we need to be ready for that if you want peace. just back from the. china tells us that humans probably didn't catch the virus from. other animals. for american values. to diversify before. we get reaction. i think there's a kind of laziness of the. international

. the russian foreign minister. is ready to break ties with the. new sanctions the key sectors of the economy. because who will still wish to look good to us 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 sir gilligan of 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 legs in a valley it's an internal matter but at the same time joseph burrell called on russia to release the kremlin critic and world saying that this case is politically motivated is politically charged and according to sergei lavrov 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 organiser 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 could turn this novell 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 glitch 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 shouldn't visit

prussia at all but when he came back from that visit just all hell broke loose they did the diplomats in the e.u. parliament they didn't mince any words moscow to be used the visit of high representative bordello to you merely aid and offend the european union your ill executed visit you know not only ashamed to european citizens you also helps putin 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 you member states and yourself to to adopt a more realistic and principled russian foreign policy and to move toward sanctions finally among others to do inclusion of human rights where late just under sanctions least and to suspension of north stream to choose country to european and it should 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 no found nice 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 of 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 in 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. wave goodbye and say well if you're closing this door we won't we won't be standing there knocking a political analyst go but doctorow believes the strategy could lead to enormous economic damage on both sides. if the with question here which go to the juggler to gesticulate in james you russia's economic existence as they did was the west did a cherry was access to the script to iran where i could see the drastic extremely or harder for action in the economic sphere taken by russia the warning that was given the war. more on certain actions that have long been distrust among the national russia it is the move west and western your specific of all the

destruction of orm energy security within the has been used to frustrate and she joined with north korea into budget was always given me the military mind you can be an states word or it can concern was it was risky because the russians could turn off the capsule passport once said to chat here can cause will remember to both sides medical leaders very closely on the path to your. member of the world health organization team that's just back from china has told r.t. that it probably wasn't but the past coronavirus to humans he says that even if the disease originated in bats he was likely transferred to humans via other animals scientists but even that cough has been investigating the source of the pandemic in the chinese city of one.

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 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. the virus was 1st detected in a city in december 29th in the team's initial findings debunk claims that the disease originated in a laboratory however the united states thinks beijing has been 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 it's time 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 about how much access his team had in he says the 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 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 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. for intellectuals are stepping up their attack on what they're calling american values they claim that fashionable leftist ideas imported from the us have no place

in front and say that they pose a threat to french society although things one example to clearly new for the country have been raised before by the president and other officials. certain social science theories entirely imported from the united states with the problems which i respect and which exist but which is just added to. there is a battle to wage against an intellectual matrix from american university some national thinkers blame the us 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 was also gained traction with french feminist theology bensky explains 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 marked 2 are 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 are racist. phobic about our universal values on nothing. and quite frankly i mean there's a combination of incredulity and. annoyance i wouldn't 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 will theory for a few few years and it seems the french should 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 because 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. you 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 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 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 be consoled 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 enlightenment movement was birthed is perhaps still ahead of the curve well at least compared to america and for now it appears that the left culture just isn't cutting the must it in france so let's even ski r.t. paris meanwhile the paris opera suffering a diversity scandal after black performers complained about almost entirely white costs and also the use of blackface in performances the organizations artistic director agreed. we're not here promoting

a climate of censorship or dictatorial actions in the leadership the whole point of this initiative is we want to put on opera and ballet by 21st century artists for 21st century audiences the pledge to hire more people of color as part of a 66 page report by the theatre the artistic directors also quoted by the lamont newspaper warning that some performances could disappear from the repertoire if they're deemed to be insensitive but the plans have sparked condemnation from traditional commentators in the french media and also from the nationalist politician marine le pen here's some of the reaction that we've been hearing. 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 worried about it 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 sticking

a problem to the roof that's mean that in the 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 the 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 then said to be in but before that we need to open the door 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 black man so for example to have the dress who much with the corner 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 are well off and i 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 origin but we have to say that france and england and u.k. and germany and do you. it's today in 2021 it's not the same friends. or friends of the u.k. and the population in europe is different so 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 in 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. portugal could stay in covert lockdown until their health officials there get their way the country's infection rate has slowed but it still registering a high daily death toll one nurse we heard from says the system was coping better until this latest spike in cases. 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 deaths health workers say they're still struggling to cope with the number of coven patients in intensive care. 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 assistants and these technicians have a very important mission to fulfill and they are fulfilling it and all together we

can overcome this adversity and internationally the world health organization is still recommending the astra zeneca coated vaccine despite trials showing limited protection against new mutations of the virus south africa which is registered a particularly variant new strain of the disease has suspended its role out of the shot over that very issue a national study of the u.k. based pharma giants job had only a 22 percent advocacy against the new variant and therefore raising questions on whether the vaccine should also be distributed in other countries south africa's already switched to the pfizer and the johnson and johnson jobs the head of south africa's advisory committee on covert vaccines broke down the country's priorities in tackling the virus. the problem is of course meantime we do need to protect our health care workers and we need to protect it with a very extreme which we know does have a track record well proven trial record on preventing serious disease with the

new variant so that's already doing and we just mean the use of issues into one of the important things of course you want to look at is does as does any can still provide in series from fiction hospitalization level infection with a new variant because it really don't have data on i think is really important is particular variant has got a mutation at a very critical part of ours the for the for the ones you just need for the virus to establish an addiction as a particular attention at a particular position which is of course because the virus has learned the trick and now it's at a selective advantage for it describes the effect of previous infliction and the vaccine. u.s. president joe biden has reversed his predecessors emergency order to build the mexico border wall saying that no more taxpayer money will be spent on the project but the new administration is stuck between calls to keep it in place all spend even more funds tearing it down as qaeda morva now explains. ah

ah ah i promise we will build the wall was you may have heard and 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 them 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. the safety and solidity of the currency you are the budget public money is to them a tool for power and the more they have to print and create to spend the further in debt they put us the happier your 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 see. is it a critical doesn't it nuts because it is democrats a lot of friends is and 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 is wrong history trumps legacy is completely unacceptable to democrats and they are determined to reverse everything so that they can pretend that trump never existed . you know next world news is after you've heard about the tough choices facing impoverished parents and gonna send your kids to school or risk their lives mining for gold the money stone is next on international. coaching to find the word reality something like this the state of things as they actually exist as opposed to an idealistic or notional 90 i'm going to say the

least this is a philosophical definition listed only in politics now is there one political reality can and should one be enforced when this in the end produced a ministry of truth. knowing through the woods that in the who didn't bother you but i'll blog goodwood them. and you end up in a can not or cannot walk right now i guess and about national. she cannot deny. me meals on my own not just us but those on my own son belong to them how to put a human level an eye on my public eye for. an initiation the national must much tension. question from the how said the community i don't know but. i've got all

small little bits so do. you know if you need another little lucas not all of you in the nose you know you know the feel good. solid and know if you want to. be my name a few 100. will go to a 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 she is going to try to force bond collapse like we saw on 993 so the bond vigilantes back he's talking about gold then so others just a gold and you landis' and the big point vigilantes i've been here since 22009. they're growing exponentially now in the price of course as it goes under

a trillion 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. loose. woman. to. write a song for me and maybe go for it is big news. today. it is. my fault of. course running through. and all

sorts of things but we'll keep most of them they get to in this shed a little and everybody take is all i'm saying it's all mine and. there will always. be is that says this movie. and little bit little of the audience but the. movie obviously we're still. in somewhat. of a time when me and winter i'm. going 5 10 o'clock 5 when you want to eat dinner for 5 with. i don't play my pipes no i want to really i thought no one could. tell you all kind of well. you know that i would do it not that it was a big one that i'm a little guy and i don't know how old i have not i wasn't going to. sound.

oh i don't know. i don't want to sound i think i'm going to tell you no no no you've no idea. how not that's how i do i thought i'm going to move the load you're not going to. let me get away from your father i was almost. i thought i shall go i thought it. was a fact that the last time i style could be out. and i want to have the money back on a. day when nobody will. be teaching us. that's kind of.
