together. hardly caring parent lay have no option because they were afraid to defend their job. as u.s. democrats cry foul over donald trump's acquittal some republicans suggest that joe biden should now be paid we ask if the legal process is becoming the new political norm also to come the price of free speech supporting journalists is harassed and or sold to dish she covers up black lives matter protests we get her take on life as a reporter in a divided america. i feel that being conservative media is now very physically threatening to journalists black or white the decision to cast a british actress and jamaican descent as queen anne boleyn in a t.v.

series causes this online. it's about correcting the wrong black people who have been systematically disenfranchised from participating in a way i don't know where brick in queens if you could rub it in a white queen. and also to come we look back at the last 10 to moche where she is in libya following the arab spring. good afternoon just gone 3 o'clock in moscow you're watching r.t. international now the fallout from the acquittal of donald trump democrats blame a cowardly group of republicans while some republicans are now even wanting to impeach the new president joe biden so is the legal process becoming the new political norm looking at the impact on american politics is done. donald trump no he's the most acquitted president in the u.s.
7:02 am
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 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
7:03 am
a political opponent the order 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 i 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.
7:04 am
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 grudge against the former president's slide of 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 i need crime or misdemeanor whether 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 convective punish. trump for whatever they want and they wouldn't have to go through all of the business of
7:05 am
a stab washing guilt or having proof or having due process this is the agent 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 he's not a sitting president and it shows the tremendous dis you're 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. black lives matter activists have reportedly been charged with harassment and attempted to sell what it's claimed they attacked to trump supporting journalist who was covering the rally. i don't think that there was something that she had done that the she. should. progress our
7:06 am
own accord was it was her body that really she supports charity that i do trust. that 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 turn 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 no 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 is now very physically threatening to journalists so as we had then she was filming a black lives matter rally when demonstrators identified her as a conservative reporter because she claims that police ignored her calls for help
7:07 am
and at one point a protester even a pace to drive you snapping is a tie just a moment for the police 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 to really experience in my lifetime i don't condone the violence that happened at the capitol and i can i condemn them along with other republican conservatives because because terrorism and and and destruction and. what is going on there has no place in america and i do feel that we are seeing more attacks and violence actually occurring rumble left on to the right we see
7:08 am
censorship that's going on and it's not even will. occur. now program across media are expressing concern that president trump could be tory president biden could be too boring compared to his predecessor donald trump and as the profits of private networks depend on viewing figures that could spell disaster taking a look now at their di lemma is. gary biden is so 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
7:09 am
going to ignore. joined by and read into the stadium economy going to be i don't see this sort of distraction and we. should all 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 out the media needs donald trump. because the media's way of keeping you dear of you is 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's website mention trunk or. 14 times compared with just 11 for biden
7:10 am
and other things are getting better we can't afford to sit back and be either do or do not you nor. i see enormous 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 tories have at least double the amount of traffic almost every single day in january. ratings of news outlets like c.n.n. sky rocketed when trump ended the political arena. now with biden in the white house the networks have spent the last 4 years battling trump on a daily basis have lost their main attraction meaning that
7:11 am
a slumping viewership is very likely it's gotten or news competitors all excited to see their discovery channel has reportedly told as 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. careful what you wish for. the 1st pictures of most of british actress jodie turner smith is english queen anne boleyn in a new t.v. mini series she'll be the 1st black woman to patrol the monarch where the creators do say that they want to quote challenge conventions about the queen's life but the casting decision received a mixed reaction black people shouldn't portree white people if you store a color wide stories and vice versa we have our own stories it's not empowering
7:12 am
it's really so instead of making stories drawn 300 trillion lives of black historical figures across the world human to reproduce is just going to keep casting black actors to play where people and cordoba are still in progress. only a matter of time before martin luther king displayed by dominic west while a similar clash of opinions emerged over a leading black character in the movie adaptation of the 3 musketeers the french producing it says that the musketeer named hannibal is loosely based on a real african prince who became the 1st black muscatine in france you original story by alexander dumas however it doesn't include characters of african descent my colleague colin brake put the she's up for debate. pick at the end of the 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
7:13 am
plays captain america portraying tigers 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 we it's him to tell the stories with actors based on their qualifications in their ability and you know their skills to burst is just looking at the color of their skin and up and about cleopatra i mean i'm not necessarily
7:14 am
just want to go around the world by a clear pattern was more of a greek a north african i mean africa and that is one place you get different parts of africa you talking about north africa people like gadhafi who was a lab recently he does not look like you and me so a clear pattern 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 the generations of moviegoers of being 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. race and the embarrassingly white which just isn't true either is it so it's about time that that was redressed isn't it antony oh it will roll me greece i mean i'm talking about sub-saharan africa roma greece is not the look guys look like me that's just a fact that you can say could be more racially ambiguous and that's why i mean come
7:15 am
on base and pay as we can look at the past and say ok some of the movies are right that's fine there's courageous nannies who already have a rabbit in china over their pay and some of the movies won't all be right there is kind of silly it's not about letting it pass it's about correcting the wrongs of black people who have been systematically disenfranchised from participating in hollywood and not allowed to be in their loans across the board that's what we're attempting to correct in south today and reimagine a world where a person who's black in play any character pursed the simply a queen and to see what it 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 i don't know everything according to other no african queen is that you could play a rabbit in a white queen if we had here they just go on a quarter past 3 here in moscow still healthy this i will look at the last 10 to most swiss cheese in libya following the arab spring that story plus others take
7:16 am
7:17 am
no dares thinks. we dare to ask. again that it has been 10 years since the arab spring reached libya where anti-government protests grew into a full blown civil war which led to a massive nato led military intervention. examines now the for lack of the last to moche was decade in the country. 10 years ago the arab spring made its impact in libya back then libya was a wealthy country ruled by
7:18 am
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. of the. gadhafi held power for 4 decades he had outsmarted the intellectuals beat the ease limits to a pulp trash the liberals and the ground down every rival he knew how to survive plus he had millions of people on his side and. it was. luar and i would look at any of my grandfather's remains in here i will die with him as
7:19 am
a mother that i didn't and sowed begad one of the 21st century's worst geopolitical calamities it was careless rather against brother towns and villages forward against gadhafi regiments and warlords guards and tribes juki it out hoover who controls the oil in the cities the roods and the ports and still good dossie wouldn't fool what ultimately led to his devotees 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 mot 2011 we will deny the regime arms cut off its supplies of cash
7:20 am
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 goggins 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
7:21 am
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. we came in we saw that he 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 rock another of cadmus star and the fires that they lit blood to the east day marks the end of a. chapter for the people of libya. every
7:22 am
girl would be a disaster disaster disaster disaster. libya. in chaos anarchy a new truth thank you and jihad is wonderland displacement and destruction is it fair to say libya was better off under gadhafi. 10 years at the 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 islam it's terrorism of narco traffic and the world's capital of slave markets you can buy a black male refugee as a rule shit for as little as $200.00 and this day and age what we know is that
7:23 am
migrants who fall into the hands of smugglers faces 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 drugs traffickers and slave was still latin it you know and the oil giants italy's any france is to tell today my few 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 a few years before they bombed libya into the ground gadhafi had hinted at potentially nationalizing all the oil production but no that's crazy talk isnt

it. that was marked as d f now a 10 day mandatory quarantine has come into effect for travelers returning to the u.k. from covert hotspots but despite the ongoing restrictions and sometimes conflicting holiday advice from the u.k. government british travel agencies have reported this in demand for trips away. thanks. i'll fold my 1st holiday of 22 he won. all the summer holidays. i'm going to go. and you know except before 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

7:26 am
different instance saying totally different things the british government has not made yet how british people should be planning for the summit in principle the prime minister barak's john's mother announced the 22nd it's never right what the situation will be but the fact mendis isn't saying different things even the health minister is saying he's booked a whole day in. cornhole already while others are 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 want to have no. decisively what is the situation and that is how the news is looking say foster day here or not he will be back. and humph.
