when i come here. don't try to 2nd a peach when trial ends with the 2nd acquittal as the u.s. senate votes to clear him of inciting the capitol hill write. some of the stories making headlines the last 7 days no known foreign social media unless absolutely necessary a key topic tackled by president putin as he meets heads of russian media. plus the british government threatens to jail people for up to 10 years if they lie about travelling from covert hotspots we put it up for the. good of the big issues that we've suffered from these people coming into the united kingdom from countries 3 countries those goals.

are there just to midday moscow the center the 14th of february live for marty's world news h.q. kevin owen here for the next hour with a roundup of a big stories of the last 7 days and 1st the big news in overnight then after days of angry debate donald trump acquitted by the senate in his 2nd impeachment trial but his successor still thinks he's guilty well the final vote did not lead to a conviction the substance of the charge is not in dispute. 43 senators voted against impeachment with 57 for 10 short of the 2 thirds majority that needed to convict trump of inciting last month's capital riot could have open reports well it takes 2 thirds of the u.s. senate to convict a president in impeachment proceedings so now that donald trump has been acquitted they failed to get the votes necessary to convict him we've actually heard this statement from the former us president about the proceedings here's what he said it

is a sad commentary in our times that one political party in america is given a free pass to denigrate the rule of law defame law enforcement cheer mobs excuse rioters and transform justice into a tool of political vengeance and persecute blacklist cancel and suppress all people in viewpoints with whom or which they disagree is certainly been a colorful few days during the impeachment proceedings a lot of very emotional and heated words were exchanged many looked on it kind of the shocking theatrical that took place from both sides as the debate went on here's some of what we've seen over the past few days during the proceedings on capitol hill this cannot be the future of america as one senator said they could have killed all of us with this trial you will open up new and bigger wounds across the nation he didn't just tell them to fight like hell he told them how where and

when the majority in the house of representatives does not want to face donald trump as our political rival in the future donald trump surrendered his role as commander in chief and became the insider in chief $75000000.00 americans voted for donald trump and throughout the proceedings donald trump's attorneys made the point that the results of this trial are ultimately going to be the further do usually of the country the country is going to be much more polarized with trump supporters feeling that the establishment is out to get them and not allowing their voice to be heard here is some of the points we heard from trump's attorney they tell us that we have to have this impeachment trial such as it is to bring about unity. but they don't want unity and they know this so-called trial will tear the country in half leaving tens of millions of americans feeling left out of the nation's agenda as dictated by one political party that now holds the power in the

white house and in our national legislature this trial will tear this country apart perhaps like we've only seen once before in our history now many republicans are saying that this was essentially a show trial this wasn't so much about actually convicting donald trump actually taking office action against donald trump to prevent him from running for office but more about the democrats trying to run donald trump's name through the mud and trying to put on a show of the fact that they are now in power they do have the majority in the senate and the house and they do control the white house and this was the democrats are making clear that they're in charge now and many are looking on at this and saying this is only going to inflame donald trump supporters only going to reinforce the notion that trump was fighting for them against the status quo and so the divisions in the united states remain thoroughly intact donald trump is acquitted he will be allowed to run for office once again he is banned from social

media that's pretty clear he's not on twitter now the statement he gave did not announce a new presidential run but there was an interesting line towards the end of or about trump having a vision for the future of the united states not exactly clear what that means but it appears that we haven't heard the last from donald trump the trial evidence started on tuesday with a video montage of riots and trump speaking pro-democratic party media pundits are quick to voice extreme shock and saying that footage. was. 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 that video it stopped everyone in their tracks there was silence in the chamber. drum's defense team also presented a series of video showing democratic officials calling for trump's impeachment.

trial his 1st year in office designed to show they were trying to force him out long before any of the current accusations got reaction on the trial from legal media on this lionel an excel or because well he's a tony and former chair of the u.s. military and national committee an interesting yes 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 in almost a quantify military apparel wisit ties ready for arrests and helmets already anticipating what they were going to do prior to donald trump saying anything this is a political exercise this is political theater this is not subject to any court reviewing what happens this isn't an animal it's own this impeachment trial the 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 that he might be stronger again if he were to run in 2024 the very problem that we have the division in the country is that not only were those senators jurors witnesses they were also victims of the insurrection on january 6th and still voted not to convict at least $43.00 of them voted not to convict and i think that's the irony of this trial and does explain that or highlight the division in the country that is a testament to the fact that this is a mix of both a legal and a political process and there's no trial in which jurors could be helping one side or the other with their arguments during breaks what impeachment it is it's. the normal part of the process because it is that makes process which is why the 6th amendment doesn't apply to each new trials because there is no opportunity to lose

your liberty. but have a potent says russia won't ban any foreign social media but won't hesitate to act if western online giants are behind what he calls hostile actions meantime he says the country should work to have its own alternatives in place the comments came as the president laid out national policy at a meeting with russian media heads in the week with more he goes down after me in the studio a bit earlier. it was like a very high profile top tier media conference with editors and chief of rule but the issue of social media and the social media restrictions well it's hot in russia so lattimer putin touched upon that when essentially he said that well the kremlin is not looking to ban anything just for the sake of banning it because it would make any sense but he's made a point that if foreign social media institutes were to sort of engage in information warfare promotes information hostile to the to russia's national

interests then well most will have no other choice but to somehow restrict their actions and also made another disclaimer saying that. a reason for that and it will only be done in case only if russia develops its own alternative. we will not shut down anything until we have our own social media and when we have our own what we do will be based on the specific situation when our partners see that there is an alternative that they don't enjoy a monopoly in the market they will behave differently i have no desire to change anything manually but if hostile actions are carried out i do not exclude it hostile actions against our country are unacceptable so when it comes to these hostile actions that the russian president is talking about this subject didn't come out of thin air because i'm really know that russia has seen some very large scale demonstrations or pro opposition demonstrations well speaking of scale like

tens of thousands of people showed up the russian government did not sanction and did not arise any of those rallies so the russian government from the russian government standpoint those protests were illegal but those protests will coordinate and kind of promoted and p.r. marketed for and social media so the. this is this is what is what it is all about right now obviously on the subject of these protests that were branded as in support of alexina valley a prominent kremlin critic but from vladimir putin's standpoint they weren't really motivated by the personal support he enjoys as a person as a want to be politician but rather by a general frustration of the russian public due to well the decreasing living conditions and they stem from the nomic hardships that russia is facing due to the

pandemic because russia has been affected by covert ones in like literally any other country in the world. throughout russia's modern history for example during the 1st world war our opponents have always relied on people who are very ambitious and hungry for power and it's the scene right now in the situation with it is happening at the very moment when in all countries of the world including in russia people are tired and irritated so essentially according to the russian president the west exploiting the hungry for power people like in the valley to undermine russia and to bring russia down because at the end of the day other nations they have their interests their interests at hand as a priority and only russia wants a strong and diplomatically and politically and geo politically independent russia and kind of elaborating on that the russian president has said that well the stronger the more independent russia becomes the more pressure its partners will

rather rivals will exert. as soon as the situation in the country began to stabilize and as we were getting up on our feet that was it the containment policy immediately began why don't you understand that why don't you see that's how it was banks in little by little step by step more and more and the stronger we got the stronger this containment policy was so this kind of falls on top of what russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov said earlier this week in a more harsh in a more blatant you know terms when he had said that if if the west if europe if the e.u. world to look to cripple russia's economy through sanctions and world to cripple russia that this is what putin is saying here then the russia would have to look into the possibility of cutting ties with the with the e.u. all together and there are plenty of examples other than sanctions as to how this

how this plays out how europe is world just ridiculing all russia's will successes like we look at this but it could be a vaccine it was written ridiculed from the get go we didn't get any benefit of the doubt at all that the beginning of the completely critics completely brushed aside all the stories or the positive experiences of those who pioneered and got the job even before the phase tree of phase 3 excuse me of trials was completed and they kept ridiculing the the russians putting me vaccine up until the very last moment when it just became undeniable that sputnik up there among the top 3 of the most effective vaccines in the world. taking strains of covert means britons love to get shops all over again come autumn this year is the warning from prime minister boris johnson. i think we're going to have to get used to the idea

that sleeping in a revanche leeton in the autumn as we as we come to place these new variants more than 4000000 of nobody infected in the u.k. and there have been 116000 deaths the worst toll in europe authorities have extended doorstep testing across the country with volunteers going door to door to check whether or not people have the disease a study showed britain's astra zeneca job offers only limited protection against new coronavirus variance but some researchers want to continue use of the shot arguing it helps protect against the worst effects of the mutations it comes to after the head of the parliamentary health committee said the covert response have been mishandled jeremy hunt added the of 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 so extremely tough new measures for travelers coming to the u.k.

will also come into force monday legal experts including top u.k. judges of heavily criticize the government's heavy handed move to jail arrivals who lie about their travel history or quarantine plans. connotes the controversial regulations in parliament. anyone who lies on the passenger locator form and tries to conceal that they've been in the country on the red list in the 10 days before arrival here will face a prison sentence of up to 10 years actually a ridiculous thing for the secretary of state for health to say we're really going to lock people up for 10 years so being dishonest about the fact that they've been to portugal by all means give them a shine does mr hancock really think that nondisclosure of a visit to portugal is worse than the large number of violent firearms offenses or sexual offenses involving minors for which the maximum is 70 years hancock's red list refers to 33 covert hotspots including brazil and south africa which is

registered a highly infectious new strain of the coronavirus british nationals returning from any state on the red list will have to quarantine a government approved hotels a significant expense to themselves for 10 days and put it up for debate. i think one of the big issues that we've suffered from is people coming into the united kingdom from hot spot countries we've not had the proper testing at the airports and we've not had the proper car intake but now what we've got to do is absolutely guarantee that it would not conditionals our borders we absolutely have to make sure that people are all this this lesser so i did recover from up with current state and i know personally 3 so who would rather come true it's where if you look at lists you could argue there are some machines and though you could always go to some properties which should be only or x. 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 honest it's probably is probably government and not all of us are critics who are. just a very astute sense of this whole estate from a government they were going to rule katzenberg is wrong at all many things which are actually going to wearing those clothes that are turning round and saying that school should go back that people should be what have failed to persuade the british government what annoys me at the moment is 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 never rule soon and in march last year well we know lot on 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 probably thank goodness maybe explore is worth their weight. well that's the story picks out countries that have chosen to go to funds going to your soap so good to be getting it was for great you fell you want to say being spanked there were a lot of people who jet the only way we're going to stop you variations from outside the book trade show the post this is no podcast just with respect we have found in the arguments of persuading people to go and no business they're not going to do it. this is all take coming up a disney star loses a job up to comparing u.s. political and social divisions to nazi times or all that after the break. the subtle.

oh you mean there's a downside to artificial mortgage through don't get carried away that's cause a report. on wednesday paris court held final hearings on the alleged rape by 25 faces of an underage girl decisions expected in the coming weeks but the issues already sparked rallies across france with protesters demanding legal changes to introduce a minimum age of consent which already doesn't exist. reports. bass that's provoked outrage here in france involves a woman known as julie who says she was raped by 20 firefighters between the ages of 13 and 15. it all

began when julie not real name had been assisted by a firefighter following a severe anxiety seizure at 13 in 2008 now it's claimed she obtained her number for medical records and then grew before asking her to undress via webcam it's then claimed he passed it details on to other firefighters who did the same now in 2009 it's alleged a firefighter then raped her julie says she was later taken to an apartment where she was gang raped in 2010 julie disclosed what happened to her mother and a complaint was filed 3 firefighters were placed under investigation but no action was taken against another 17 men also accused 2 of the men have admitted that they had group sex with julie whilst on duty and whilst wearing their

uniforms a 3rd admitted a sexual act in a toilet cubicle in a prison hospital where julie had been admitted in march 20th levon a judge was appointed to investigate but after 8 years the rape charges were dropped instead it was replaced by consensual penetrative sex with a minor under 15 this means the maximum sentence that they could receive is 7 years compared with 20 for rape. she's a child who was facing 20 firefighters zob this one we're talking voluntary 13 year old child on able to realize that we are not in a fair balance of power and that's when julie was raped by 20 firefighters she was raped on her dress and she could not consent she could not accept the rape since she was a child that outcome is said to have hit julie. hard and she attempted to take her own life her family though is determined to keep fighting julie's mother is still gulps marked by that decision. the facts are simple julie was

1314 and 15 at the time she was in a very vulnerable state taking medication and trying to kill herself and 20 firefighters came to her all of them admit that they performed a sexual act on her with penetration and yet in france in the 21st century the court decides that the innocent julie's case has caused consternation in france. for almost a decade we have trusted the justice system to make its ruling the court of appeals ruled that the fire rapists were justified given the success they enjoy with women moreover they stated verbal and writing that the firefighters should be exonerated quote given the rampant sexual interest shown and by women campaigners hope that the decision reached this court will lead to an age of sexual consent being in troy and in french law calls for

a minimum age of consent have been cruising in recent years and in january the senate but a bill to make the age of consent 13 but child protection associations say that that is insufficient charlotte even ski r.t. paris. it is new star fell victim to so-called council culture on friday when she was sucked for social media post of failed to toe a pro-democrat line but could tell reporters many who demanded of foreign were themselves similar provocative messages to disney's finally realizing that life's no fairy tale it couldn't stick to the dow's hills of nights and cause a pumpkins no no it had to go out political and its fans are switching off i'm canceling my disney plus subscription right now they want to cancel us i will can't solve them. i don't know many posts but if you find this qur'an the for her

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 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 support. and we are raised to say nothing. is happening here is the republican party has 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 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. errors that were cockroaches and you see them in these videos also did you know
