over a 6 workers and customers to fight the early sex trade. total from 2nd impeachment trial ends with the 2nd acquittal of his the us senate votes to clear him of inciting the riot at capitol hill and in our review of the week here on r.t. no ban on foreign social media unless absolutely necessary u.k. topic tackled by president putin as he met with the heads of russia's media and british government threatens to jail people for up to 10 years if they lie about travelling from all spots we put the issue up for the back in the big issues that we've suffered from these people could we use the united kingdom from countries all cheat 3. true you know how it goes for.

hello there the latest developments in a look back at what's been happening over the last 7 days to you you're watching a weekly here on r.t. international now after days of angry debate donald trump has been acquitted by the senate in his 2nd impeachment trial however his successor joe biden still thinks that he is guilty well the final vote did not lead to a conviction the substance of the charge is not in dispute but 43 senators voted against impeachment with 574 that was 10 short of the 2 thirds majority needed to convict trump of inciting last month's riot at the capitol building with more details his caliber. 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 and 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 are 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 or the trial evidence to start on change day with a video montage of riots and dorsai trump a spanking democratic party media pundits were quick to voice an extreme shock as saying the 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 their video it stopped everyone in their tracks there was silence in the chamber. when in response traumas defense team presented a series of videos showing democratic officials calling for trump's impeachment at

the clips to back to transfer here in office designed to show if they were trying to force him long before the current accusations we got reaction on the trial from the legal and media analyst lionel and also from nick walk he's an attorney and former chair of the us libertarian national committee. so 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 was it ready for a rest 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 of 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 that i think that's the irony of this trial and does explain that earlier 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 is no trial in which jurors could be helping one side or the other with their arguments during breaks but in impeachment it is it's a normal part of the process because it is that mix process which is why the 6th

amendment doesn't apply to impeachment trials because there is no opportunity to lose your liberty. have that image peyton has said that russia will not ban any foreign social media but won't hesitate to act to western tech giants are behind what he called hostile actions meanwhile he says that the country should also work to have its own alternatives in place the commons came as the president laid out national policy at a meeting with the headset russian media this week done off as more. it was like a very high profile top to a media conference with editors in chief of the 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 sort of 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's point those protests were illegal but those protests will who would in a sense and kind of promoted and p.r. marketing 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 election of a prominent kremlin critic but from vladimir putin's standpoint they weren't really motivated by the person old support him joyce 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 19 like literally any other country in the world and. 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 same 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

a 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 russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov said earlier this week in a more in a more blatant you know terms when he had said that if if the west if europe if the e.u. were to look to cripple russia's economy through sanctions and world to cripple russia that this is what was and is saying here then the russia would have to look into

the possibility of cutting ties with the e.u. altogether and there are plenty of examples other than sanctions as to how this how this plays out how europe is just ridiculing all russia's will successes like we look at this but it could be 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 3 phase 3. scuse me of trials was completed and they kept ridiculing the russian sputnik back soon 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. will stay with corona virus because mutating strains of it will mean that britons will have

to get vaccinated all over again this year at least that's the warning from the prime minister boris johnson i think we're going to have to get used to the idea that regretfully too in the autumn as we come to place. more than 4000000 people have been infected in the u.k. and there have been 116000 deaths the highest death toll in europe adding to the concern to a studies that show britain's astra zeneca jab offers only limited protection against new coronavirus variants and authorities are now extending doorstep testing across the country to check whether people have the disease however some experts do say it's still important to use the jab as it does protect against the worst effects of the me. now all this does come after the head of the parliamentary health committee said that the code response has been mishandled jeremy hunt added that above all the government should have reacted quicker as

a country we have not got everything right in our pandemic handling we need to learn lessons and the biggest lesson of all is that in a pandemic you have to act faster than the virus. meanwhile tough new measures for travelers entering the u.k. will come into force on monday but legal experts including top judges have heavily criticised the government's move to jail arrivals he lie about their travel history or quarantine plans health secretary matt hancock announced 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 to 10 years for being dishonest about the fact that they've been to coach go by all means give them a shine does mr hancock really thing that nondisclosure over

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 while hancock's red list is referred to seeing $33.00 covert hotspots including brazil and south africa which has registered a highly infectious new strain of the coronavirus british nationals returning from any state on the red list will have to quarantine government approved hotels at significant expense to themselves for 10 days we put the new measures 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 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 less i did recover from our current state and. 33 so greg from treats or 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 debbie rowe paper to be almost it's probably is probably government and not all of us are critics that. we've had 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 the only thing that's not locked down is the borders the government's constantly changing the rules because the

reality is very hotly prior there are 3 which they should know who will soon in march last year will a no lock down 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 she's 3 countries now have chose for them to go through times going to your soap so good to be getting it was for you i'm glad you felt about the suit being sorry there were a lot of people who the only way we could stop you variations from outside the trade show the post this is no cost to you with respect we have failed in the arguments oh persuade people to go fast and the business they're not going to do it

. so it's come on the weekend for you a disney star loses her job off to comparing us political and social divisions to those in the times of the nazis we'll have a look at that in more detail of the stories just off. the world is driven by dream shaped by one person. who dares thinks. we dare to ask.

this is a speculative attack then elon musk is making on the bed right so he's already going to war with this stuff the s.e.c. is already going toward the f.c.c. and he's shown them to be in capture now he's gone to war with spit and sand like i buy back my own stock i'm going to take your cheap money i'm going to buy it plane like michael sailors don't and now they want clive 100 other c.e.o.'s in the s. and p. 500 a like you know what that's a darn good idea. welcome back now this week a paris court held final hearings on the alleged rape by 25 fighters of an under-age girl a decision is expected in the coming months but the issue has already sparked rallies across france with protests demanding legal changes to introduce

a minimum age of consent something which currently does not exist shall it been 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 he obtained her number from 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 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 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 definite judge was appointed to investigate but after 8 years the rape charges were dropped instead rape 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 it's not for she's a child who was facing 20 firefighters so caution is obvious when we're talking voluntary 13 year old child. to realise that we are not in a fair balance of power and that when julie was raped by 20 firefighters she was raped on a dress and she could not consent she could not accept the reap 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 the 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 r.t. paris. our disney star fell victim to so-called cancel culture on friday when she was sacked for social media posts that fail to toe pro-democrat anti trump line but is asked taylor reports many who demanded her firing were themselves caught sending similar provocative messages. disney's finally realizing that lives no fairy tale it couldn't stick to downs and nights and calls and pumpkins no

no it had to get out 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 this qur'an the for her freedom of speech i promise i will cancel my disney plus subscriptions council culture is going to far cancels disney plus if you were ever tricked into giving them money in the 1st place why is does he now face a 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 of woe laureus a 5 g. to corrado that's the start of the disney plus 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 and human history obviously while 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 claims supported you voted for the person who nazis supported by the jews. 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 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 i missed this memo about fonts healing and unity and sending troops supporters to towns i don't think we'd like to try here is a bank terrorist the way we do actual terrorists i think we need to consider all all all i possibilities i'm not against sending these people to get mouth on a democratically elected fool of presidents from speaking out but only impeachment trial hearings about how free speech foster munt out for those jobs will see a proof solve the constitution so processing anyway so young disney on the rocks the people who are up against council culture of want to counsel disney for daring

to cancel jena who believe that she got out of the michael peeps of being counseled by society it's all very like metta of the probably should have stuck to fairy tales. that you can watch and wait to hear an r t international be back with more stories from the last 7 days at the top of the.
