world that we're in it together. orderly group of republicans can play have no action because they were afraid to defend their jobs as us democrats cry foul over donald trump so quite so we ask if the impeachment start becoming the new norm. but climbs mount an activist space assault charges over allegedly attacking a trump supporting journalist with a dirty nappy. i feel that being conservative media is now very physically threatening to get. the decision to cast a black british actresses queen anne boleyn in a t.v. series causes the stuff online and put the issue up for debate. about brecht you're wrong black people would be just imagine you didn't grandchild's from participating

in bollywood i don't know arabic and queens if you could where you rub it in a white queen. we look back at the last 10 to mull choice years in libya on the anniversary of the arab spring. very good morning to you this is r.t. international with me. now our top story this monday morning as u.s. democrats blame what they call i cowardly group of republicans for the acquittal of former president donald trump. looks at whether impeachments are just a means to convict him that fishel are told to settle old scores especially as they cropped up more frequently on the u.s. political landscape. donald trump no he's the most acquitted president in the u.s.

history and no one worked harder to win him the title than the democrats and the realization is doing on them but what we saw in that senate today was that cowardly group of republicans who patently have no options because they were afraid to defend their job respect the institution in which they served. the senators have decided to hang their hat on jurisdictional grounds which are not based on evidence which are not based on the facts and they will have to be. a ballistic meltdown is not something you'd expect to hear from a party whose candidate won the presidential election a democrat ego side which even stung through joe biden's psyche and it'll take more than a few cute white house lawn decorations to heal that wound what was meant to be a tool of checks and balances system transcended into one party's vendetta against

a political opponent the order call of the pietschmann now before the senate is an unjust and blatantly unconstitutional of political vengeance i hope i will be proven wrong but it seems that impeachment based on partisan differences seems to be becoming the norm not the exception well hope against hope all you want but impeachment articles against joe biden were filed less than 30 hours into his presidency it is the norm but when it comes to trump haters impeachment is the least they want for him some would much rather see him swinging from the gallows and if you dare to defend them oh boy your personality will be reduced to being a racist a white supremacist a traitor there are reports your house was graffitied. my

entire family my business my law firm are under siege right now it's also feared now that after impeachment humiliation take 2 never trumpeters along with the democratic chums simply won't let their grudge against the former president slide one of the most bizarre things it's happened senator tim kaine of virginia my own state senator has proposed. the democrats since they have never been able to introduce a shred of evidence to implicate the president and he'd crime or misdemeanor what they should do is introduce a bill of attainder based. on the 14th amendment in which they could simply a boat and punish and sort of convicted punish. tromp for whatever they want and they wouldn't have to go through all of the business of

a stab washing guilt or having proof or having due process this is the agent who despots like henry be a penguin who executed all of his enemies with bills of attainder it just shows the desperation that they have and it also shows you know this is a former president who is not a sitting president and it shows the tremendous this are all fear of the democrats over this man trump may feel like he's out of the woods but with the dems now holding both the oval office and congress they have the power to drag him right back into the swamp. over to new york now at sea of black life not activists facing challenges of harassment and attempted assault as after they allegedly attacked a trump supporting reporter covering a big rally. i go to bed like there was something we're going.

to write a program are these reports was that really she's a push over the border patrol or. the translates. as you can see with what had happened to me it is very trying times initially when i saw they were harassing other journalists there and videographers and i went to stand with them as well and they they wanted everybody to be turning off their cameras with our 1st amendment rights which is freedom to the press and also being a public space i kept my camera on and i said now this is public space and i'm reporting the news so my camera will stay on and that's when they started attacking initially or being media and then the 2nd time they came around to attack me when they identified which media i was i feel that being conservative media is now very physically threatening to journalists. he was filming a black live matter rally when demonstrators identified her as

a conservative reporter at one point to protest even a pays to rob a used nappy and a journalist's face the reporter claims that she was nearby police officers standing by to help but to no avail. now in order for true peace to occur you need to have people to have that civil discourse it's not it's not true peace when the other side is voices are shut off and so is it may give up assad of unity or peace but it's act the detriment of you know $75.00 plus 1000000 americans who had voted and do support donald trump at the expense of basically shutting their voices out so that is not true unity when you're taking out your opponent it's not a fair fight america is descending into something that you know i would never have imagined 3 experiencing in my lifetime i don't condone the violence that happened at the capitol i can condemn them along with other republican conservatives because . because terrorism and and and destruction and what is going on it has no

place in america and i do feel that we are seeing more attacks and violence actually occurring from bill left onto the right we see censorship that's going on and it's not even being. occur. it's been 10 years since the arab spring spread to libya where anti-government protests grew into a full blown civil war and massive nato led military intervention artie's more gas you have examines the fallout of the last decade in the country. 10 years ago the arab spring made its impact in libya back then libya was a wealthy country ruled by a strong man yes but rich and one of the most prosperous states in africa but people wanted more they wanted freedom democracy and they were willing to fight for it was.

a good duffy held power for 4 decades he had outsmarted the intellectuals beat the ease limits to a pulp trash the liberals and ground down every rival he knew how to survive plus he had millions of people on his side. was no no. no yahoo and i would look leave my grandfather's remains in here i would die with him as a mother but i didn't and so did gad one of the 21st century's worst geo political calamities it was careless rather against brother towns and villages for and against gadhafi regiments and warlords gags and tribes juki it out hoover who

controls the oil in the cities the roods and the ports and still good docks the wooden full what ultimately led to his debit was his independence it was a pain in the backside for europe for america it wasn't that he was a dictator that he sponsored terror will that he suppress dissent look at saudi arabia obama crave close allies of the west was that he wouldn't play fetch a given in the middle finger to sue many decades and gotten away with it until march 2011 we will deny the regime arms cut off its supplies of cash assist the opposition and work with other nations to hasten the day when gadhafi leaves power. after what happened in iraq and afghanistan everyone was naturally a little concerned about nato rushing in guns blazing so they tricked the u.n.

they filed the resolution to establish quote a new flood exude in libya to protect civilians and they go to the proved they then said that gadhafi was the threat to civilians not just the jets q gardens blazing some of the 1st u.s. tomahawk missiles had been launched on libya we are at war once again and this 1st phase is to take out gadhafi air defenses we've just learned that the u.s. has fired its 1st missiles at libyan air defenses need to conducted almost 10000 on libya dropped thousands and thousands of bombs that another late had proved gadhafi forces that were also killed dozens and dozens of civilians according to human rights watch gadhafi was eventually caught he was tortured and murdered right there new cool that new trial.

that. we came we saw mary died and. she wasn't laughing when the same victorious rebels which she helped get rid of gadhafi stormed the american consulate the next year and murdered the u.s. ambassador that is perhaps when they finally realized what they had done it was another iraq another of cadmus stud and the flyers that they delete blood to the east bay this marks the end of a. chapter for the people of libya. every year living in disaster disaster disaster disaster. that is. in chaos anarchy you need true thank you and jihad is a wonderland this displacement and destruction is it fair to say libya was better

off under gadhafi. 10 years of endless war chaos war crimes today libya's g.d.p. is a 3rd of what it was in 2010 that's democracy school is the same as it was under gadhafi standard of living is down there is no press freedom and there's even more corruption it's a den of islamist terrorism of narco traffic and the world's capital of slave markets you can buy a black male refugee as an orchard for as little as 2 $100.00 and these day and age what we know is that migrants who fall into the hands of smugglers face a systematic malnutrition sexual abuse and even murder we're hearing about mass graves in the desert. migrants are being sold in the market as a commodity if you go to the market and you can pay between $2500.00 to get

a migrant that will work with you on your daily jobs or support your work the war still rages warlords and islam it's gangs and drug traffickers and slave was still lasted you know in the oil giants italy's any france is to tell today matthew new problem pumping oil in the middle of a civil war i did forget to mention did not libya also happens to have the largest oil reserves in africa and that few years before they bombed libya into the ground good does he had hinted at potentially nationalizing all the oil production but no that's crazy talk isn't it. british actress the jodi tennis myth is set to become the 1st black woman taper tre english queen anne boleyn on screen in a new t.v. miniseries the creators say they wanted to quote challenge conventions about the

queen's life but the casting decision has been met with a mixed reaction online black people shouldn't portray white people if you start a color white stories and vice versa we have our own stories it's not empowering it's silly so instead of making stories drawn through and intriguing lives of black historical figures across the world human to be producers are just going to keep casting black actors to play when people and color diversity in progress only a matter of time before martin luther king is splayed by dominic west. some of the clash of opinions emerged over a leading blank character in the movie had to have that adaptation of the 3 musketeers the french studio producing it says the musket in name to hannibal is loosely based on a real african prince who became the 1st black muskets here in france the original story by alexander dumas however doesn't include characters of african descent my

colleague colin bray debated the issue earlier. pic at the end of a day it just makes sense to have the actors portraying the people in a more realistic way we're talking about amber lane the queen of england i mean this is not a black woman it would be the exact same thing if you hate chris pray the guy who plays captain america portraying hikers who it would make any sense at all i would be like ok come on let's get it more or less the representation of that particular person in their real person in history let's make it a little bit more accurate shall we axons good in a vacuum however if we look at this from a historical lens will remember things like movies like cleopatra and how they were told with elizabeth taylor as cleopatra who was very much a person of african descent and stories like jesus who is played by mel gibson also a person of african descent and so what we find is that historically everyone's

been ok we were going to eat the the tower of white supremacy has been ok with the stories being told by white curators however it seems like there's some fragility issues happening will be it's him soon to tell the stories with actors based on their qualifications in their ability in you know their skill set versus just looking at the color of their skin and up and about cleopatra i mean i'm not necessarily just want to go around the world by a clear pattern was more of a greek a north african i mean africa is not just one place you get different parts of africa are you talking about north africa people like gadhafi who was a lab recently he does not look like you and me so clear patrick was more accurate of the mediterranean and i kind of stove at a particular time van this woman who is clearly of african descent or caribbean descent whatever it is trying to portray the queen of england you don't think that when it comes to historical representation though the generations of movie goes have been brought up on those films which will be regarded as classics and mustn't

be interfered with in any way and we look back at them and you see these images of ancient roman of ancient. grease in the embarrassingly white was just isn't true either is it so it's about time that that was redressed isn't it anthony oh it will roll me agrees i mean i talking about subsaharan africa roma greece is not the look guys look like me that's just a fact now you can say they could be more racially ambiguous and that's fine but i mean come on in the pay as we can look at the past and say ok some of the movies are right that's by and there's a great it's not a story is a pad is due to a rabbit in tennessee over the pace of some of the movies morally right this is kind of silly it's not about living in the past it's about correcting the wrongs of black people who have been systematically disenfranchised from participating in hollywood and not allowed to be in films across the board that's what we're attempting to correct in south to the end reimagine a world where a person who's black in plate any character pris the simply a queen and to see what that does for a young african-american girl to see

a black woman play a queen that's what we're we're looking at this is filed are there no everything in queens or are there no african queens that you could play a rabbit in a white queen. to book a holiday or not to book a holiday we look at the as a changing advice of the british government after this very short break. this is a speculative attack that he must is making on the right so he's already going to war yes the sea is already going toward the sea and he's shown them to be. captured now he's going to war with spit and sand like a buy back my own stock i'm going to take your cheap money i'm going to buy it quite like michael saylor. and now 500 other c.e.o.'s in the s. and p. 500 like you know what that's a darn good idea. welcome

back now as british officials flip flop on their holiday advice during the pandemic the travel agencies in the u.k. have reported a surge in demand for trips away here's how the official advice has changed over

the last month alone. thanks. i'll fold my 1st holiday of twenty's when he won. the summer holidays. i'm going to go. you know except with well i think we're going to have a great british summer. i'm afraid it is just too early for people to be certain about what will be able to do this summer they want to book a holiday i thought where. compared to. let me try to not live here i guess. is far too early for us to be speculation about i mean you'd be very dangerous growing

government instance again when you making comments about people someone who thinks i'm all too hasty i'll just on the reasons for being optimistic but some things are going to go right for us people should be good to the old days right now not domestically or internationally but i'd put 2 months ago i would say yeah that's what i'd really hoped that we could do it. on house or agree that the government has been sounding very mixed messages with different instancing totally different things the british government has not made it there and yet how british people make money on the summit in principle the prime minister barak's chung's move announced 22nd it's never right what the situation will be but the facts minister is

a saying different things even the health minister is saying he's booked a whole day in. cornwall already well there's a saying there should be no summer holidays even in britain means that basically there's total chaos and not surprisingly people are very confused and also very angry because they won't see that. decisively what is the situation. protests across party media are expressing concern that president biden may just be too boring compared to his predecessor donald trump and this private networks conflict depend on viewer numbers they're now in a bind as to whether to keep showing the controversial but profitable former leader . gary biden is so 6 boring in a competent i suppose i trust this guy a little bit more with the nuclear codes shined of way which is why the media is clinging to donald trump it's kind of ironic because in talking about how much the

media can't let go of donald trump i'm demonstrating just how much the media can't let go of donald trump my hunch is that the orange one twitter less new to isn't leaving the public psyche or the news cycle for that matter is the media going to ignore. almost joined by every day you know the stadium a company who's going to be i don't see this sort of distraction with. more conventional that is a good question the news media is staring down the barrel of a boring ok a more conventional 4 year is that means less advertising revenue less important and in order to keep the ratings up the media needs donald trump. because the media's way of keeping you dear of you with entertainment is with stories about donald trump. they are

a proven method of getting your attention in the 1st weekend of february for example headlines in the opinion section of the washington post website mentions trump or trump has them 14 times compared with just 11 for biden other things are getting better we can't afford to sit back and be either do or do not do long term that's not. i see enormous pain in this country while in january stories about trump on websites one is said by the advertising and analytics company to boot nearly 4 times as much traffic as stories about joe biden so i'm going to i'm going to. trance doris' how at least double the amount of traffic almost every single day in january.

ratings of news outlets like c.n.n. skyrocketed when trump ended the political arena. now with biden in the white house the networks have spent the last 4 years but telling trump on a daily basis have lost their main attraction meaning that a slumping viewership is very likely it's gotten no news competitors all excited the c.e.o. of the discovery channel has reportedly told his investors that news might go back to normal which means that ratings for shows about octopuses or bridges in timbuktu may be about to increase. as well as job cuts in media news or c careful what you wish for we love to hear your thoughts on all of our stories so do get in touch by following us on social media and leaving all your comments we're back at the top of the else either.

is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. aura made in the shallows. the world is driven by a dream shaped by the person. dare's

thinks. we dared to ask. the british and american governments have often been accused of destroying lives in their own interest well you see in this these techniques is the state devising methods to and to essentially destroy the personality of an individual. by scientific means this is how one doctor's theories were allegedly used in psychological warfare against prisoners deemed a danger to the state that was the foundation for the method of psychological interrogation psychological torture of the cia disseminated within the us

intelligence community and worldwide among our allies for the next 30 years then to other victims say they still live with the consequences today. what started my interest i should say black americans in the soviet union a fairy's was finding this portrait even though i hadn't gone to grad school or the master's degree in russian literature i speak russian and i had lived over there in the late eighties finding this portrait was was a stunning development for me how did i not know about this. i didn't know that this was a phenomenon that there were many. african-americans who went to russia in the in the thirty's. in the 1920 s. and thirty's several 100 african-americans moved to the soviet union and many of the dissent.
