so join us in the. aura of the shallows. cowardly care and patently have no option because they were afraid to defend their job. cry foul over donald trump's acquittal some republican suggest that joe biden should now be impeached we asked the legal process is becoming the new political. become the price of the speech approach this is harassed and assaulted if she covers a black lives matter protest we get her take on what life is like for a reporter in a divided america. i feel that being conservative is now very physically threatening to journalists. black or white the decision to cast a british actress of jamaican descent is queen and bullying in a t.v.

series called online. the wrong black people have been systematically disenfranchised from participating in other new african queen rabbit and white queen. and also to come we look back at the last 10 to moche where she is in libya following the arab spring. afternoon just gone 4 o'clock in moscow you're watching r.t. international the fallout from the acquittal of donald trump passing democrats point the finger of blame us a cowardly group of republicans 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 he course you don. donald trump no who'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. these 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 judged 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 grudge against the former president's slide of one of the most bizarre goings it's happened senator tim kaine of 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 boat and punish and sort of convicted punish. trom for whatever they want and they wouldn't have to go through all of the

business of a stab moshing 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 visceral 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 eyes matter activists of reportedly being charged with harassment and attempted assault it's claimed that they attacked a trump supporting journalist he was covering the rally. her i did it badly there was something she wanted another piece of the rug you could write the

current gurdeep the cord was your brother your very truly she's a pushover you regarding the truth of her that's right you're carrying it out like that 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 is just because now very physically threatening to journalists. so then as we heard she was filming a black lives matter rally when demonstrators identified as a conservative reporter she claims to the nearby police ignored her calls for help

and at one point to protest that even appears to rub a huge snappy in her face. 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 a start of unity or peace but it's act detriment you know $75.00 plus 1000000 americans who have 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 truly experiencing in my lifetime i don't condone the violence that happened at the capitol and i can i condemn them along with other the public in the conservatives because because terrorism and and and destruction and. what is going on that has no place in america and i do feel that we are seeing more

attacks and violence actually occurring from the left onto the right we see censorship that's going on and it's not even all being. occur. pro democrat media who are expressing concern that president biden could actually be too boring compared with his predecessor donald trump and as the profits of private networks do depend on viewing figures that could well spell disaster taking a look now at their lemma his party boy. 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 door.

joined by. you know the. july move who's going to be i don't see this sort of distraction 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 mentions

trump or trump has them 14 times compared with just 11 for biden other things are getting better we can afford to sit back and be either do or do not do long term that's not. 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 got nearly 4 times. as much traffic as stories about joe biden so i'm going to. trance tori's how at least double the amount of traffic almost every single day in january. ratings of news outlets like c.n.n. sky rocketed when trouble 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 a slumping viewership is very likely it's gotten on 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 wedges in timbuktu may be about to increase. as well as job cuts in the end user will see careful what you wish for. what we go there now the 1st pictures of the merger of the british actress jodie turner smith his english queen and believe in a new t.v. mini series she will be the 1st black woman to try the morning on u.k. television the creators say that they wanted to challenge conventions about the queen's life but the casting decision has been met with 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

it's silly 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 dominique worst. but a similar clash of opinions emerged divert leading blank character in the movie adaptation of the 3 musketeers is the front french studio producing it says the muscatine one tangible is least based on a real african prince who became the 1st black mask in france you mention a story that by alex on the dumas doesn't include carrots is of african descent my colleague colin bright put the issue up for debate i think 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 ambling 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 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 attempt 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 it's up and about cleopatra i mean i'm not necessarily just want to go around the world by a clear path or was more of a greek a north african i mean africa is not just one place you get different parts of africa you're 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 efforts . 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 moviegoers 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 when you see these images of ancient roman of ancient greece and their embarrassingly white which just isn't true either is it so it's about time that that was redressed isn't it antony oh well romy agrees i mean i'm talking about subsaharan africa roma greece is not the look absolutely me

that's just a fact now you can say you could be more racially ambiguous and that's why i mean come on base and 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 have a rabbit in china over the pace of some of the movies or it's all the right this is kind of silly it's not about letting it pass it's about correcting the wrong black people who have been systematically disenfranchised from participating in hollywood and not allowed to be in their own 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 play 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 queens or are there no african queens that you could play rabbit in a white queen to fight we had here not a little area just gone a quarter past 4 moscow still to come for you this i would look at the last 10 to mow to a chaise in libya following the arab spring that story persisting just after the

break.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond short and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm sure business i'll see you there. welcome back now russia says it will continue to develop mutually beneficial relations with europe however foreign minister sergey lavrov also highlighted that they were ready for any scenario this sounds relations between russia and the e.u. worsened in recent weeks over political activist alexina let's get more details that we don't cotton to following events 1st good afternoon don't just run through them what else did mr lavrov say. hi there andy well lavrov certainly seemed

pessimistic about the current state of relations between the european union and russia after his meeting with the foreign minister of finland now he called the relations a carcass and he said that the reason for this is the responsibility for it lies actually with brussels so let's take a listen to what he said exactly got accustomed we must be proved in the developments it's up to the you to choose if they decide that relations must be rebuilt and reversed will also be ready for. a lover of statement comes in the backdrop of a general a worsening of relations between russia and the e.u. last week we heard from the russian foreign minister that he would be ready to sever ties that moscow would be ready to sever ties with europe in the case that sanctions are deployed against russia now those sanctions that brussels have been suggesting of course these are connected to the recent imprisonment of russian opposition activist aleksei of all me who claims he was poisoned by the russian

government now moscow russia denies any sort of involvement in this but many european officials are behind in of all knees narrative things also didn't go so well after europe's foreign minister foreign representative josep borel visited russia his return to the e.u. was met by a split european council there were those who are against russia calling for his resignation and there are others calling for a more reconciliatory stance towards russia so it seems like you're opinion officials really don't have a unified idea on how to move forward with relations with russia at this point. ok thanks se on call to that reporting from the center of moscow. that has been 10 years since the arab spring forward in libya where anti-government protests creep into a full blown civil war which led to a massive nato led military intervention. you have examined. decades 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. of the. nuance and what i would

look any of my grandfather's remains in here i will die with him as i was a mother that 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 gerunds and tribes jew he had out hoover who controls the oil in the cities the roods and the ports and still good dos he wouldn't fool what ultimately led to his death myths was his independence he 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 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 state 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 as 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 cooled new trial. 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 rock another of cadmus star and the flyers that they lit blood to the east

day marks the end of a. chapter for the people of libya. every girl living in disaster disaster disasters for. 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 scores 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 more caution for as little as $200.00 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 are 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 latin it you know and 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 the 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. gas the affair now before we go some pictures here from the center of moscow this collapse reportedly injuring 4 people and the reports say a 50 year old woman was taken to hospital while others received minor injuries it's believed that the white of snow on the structure was to blame moscow has seen some of the heaviest snowfall in 50 years over recent days. so that brings you up with all the news so far today we're back again at the top of the.

survival guide look stacey you're going to start simply. going to get back. repatriations work at the us to 70 are. going to separate you guys report. relations got a reality check last week russia's foreign minister said read the rise of the blog called so why should you never ceases to look should be moving about democracy in the e.u. our book you if you. i'm

after is not the welcome to another lockdown edition of going underground so-called mainstream media in nato nations is warning people not to invest in bitcoin the currency not controlled by government backed central bank regulators it comes up a bit going to value surged a little in the spike in some stocks sparked by grassroots activists seeking to damage the portfolios of established hedge funds joining me now from st barts in the caribbean is the founder of bitcoin dot com raj of a thanks so much roger coming on and i'm going to tell you that over here in britain as the spike in bitcoin that's bt see numbers have been happening there's been scathing articles written here telling people this is not the future all are powerful elites terrified of cryptocurrency. the incumbent the incumbents are always scared of the new upstarts that are going to take away market share from them and that's exactly what we're seeing happen with

digital currencies all over the world they're threatening be the status quo in the sense that it's easier faster cheaper more reliable to send or receive payments using crypto currencies than it is with traditional legacy banking systems and so that's that's a threat to the current business model of the traditional financial system but just like the internet was unstoppable and netflix was unstoppable compared to blockbuster and you know the apple i phone camera was unstoppable compared to kodak film cameras the same is going to be true with digital currencies the incumbents are going to like it but they're going to keep going more and more people are going to keep using them and it's going to spread to more more people around the world and before you know it everybody will be using digital currencies just like everyone uses their i phones to have kodak to take pictures today. well the financial media are far more interested in what funds are doing what stock markets are doing that kind of thing not really talking about the credit codes and all the other elements of the financial architecture the now use crypto however central

bankers must be realizing something what advice would you give to jerome powell at the fed andrew bailey at the bank of england god at the european central bank presumably they know what's going on. i don't know maybe you think they don't know what the what's going on but if they do recognize this renaissance in currency and renaissance and capitalism what should they be doing. yeah closing your eyes and plugging your ears and ignoring something isn't a solution to the change that's coming so you have to educate yourself and learn about it and the best way to do it is to start using at the center receive some digital currency with one of your friends or make a payment with it online there's more than 100000 websites they accepted on line and this truly is the future the invention of digital currencies was the most and one of the most important inventions in the entire history of humankind up there on par with the imports of the invention of the wheel or electricity the internet that's a really really really big deal and.
