but every single day. there's a history of the usa. our legal. panel play have no option because they were afraid to defend their job as you. found out that donald trump's acquittal some republican suggests that joe biden should not be to be asked the legal process is becoming the new political mold also to come the price of free speech this is harassment assault if you come as a black lives massive protests we get her take on what life is like for a reporter. i feel that being conservative media is. very physically threatening to journalists. black or white to the decision to cast a british actress solved you're making decentest t.v. series calls his sister in law and it's about correcting the wrong black people to
11:01 am
magically disenfranchised in a way are there no african queen rabbit or no white queen. and also this. could be the last turn to mulch for issues in libya following the arab. hello there good evening 7 o'clock in moscow he's watching our senior national. from the acquittal of donald trump has seen democrats point the finger of blame at a cowardly group of republicans some republicans and i we've been 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 he's done. 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
11:02 am
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
11:03 am
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 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 hate his 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
11:04 am
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 no naveed crime or misdemeanor whether they should do is introduce a bill of attainder based over one on the 14th amendment in which they could sample a boat and punish and sort of convective punish. truck for whatever they want and they wouldn't have to go through all of the business of a stab or showing guilt or having proof or having due process this is the agent
11:05 am
true or 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 huge shows the tremendous this year 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. of the influence of major social media platforms on politics and her own personal life to was ready at the headlines at the moment especially after the banning of former president donald trump's accounts and those of his supporters well we spoke to metallica a co-founder of the cyber security firm casper ski lab about the concept of private censorship and data safety on the net.
11:06 am
you know the concept of private some of the shit by social media is kind of a myth in fact it doesn't exist because all those companies are totally state controlled it's just that the u.s. has split and the media has found itself under the thumb of one party well the other didn't want to engage with the media. we're in the same way for one reason or another it's still unclear why they didn't just set up their own outlets but the fact that their arms were twisted is obvious it's clear that severe measures taken by themselves one part of the country is censoring the other and the fact that this amazing step was taken a real breakthrough well actually trump has been blocked before but during the electoral process all the masks had been taken off already and when the election campaign started the question was only who would win democrats or republicans the democrats wanted to win so badly that they didn't care about decency anymore.
11:07 am
in other words shut so make no mistake all platforms collect as much data as they can and even buy it from other platforms too so from this point of view they're all alike i would take a variable approach to the issue of information people need to understand what kind of information they can safely share on the web in general you can say that on some platforms your data is better protected than on others but the information isn't safe from the platform itself therefore all platforms are absolutely identical from this point of view they all try to collect data and profit from it because all these platforms have free registration they have the following one it is ation model they sell data analyze it propose targeted advertising etc as for some simple recommendations the easiest one to remember is not to do or publish anything on social networks you might regret it doesn't matter whether you are doing it just
11:08 am
for your friends or just for one person once you upload this in for to an electronic device or digital service you can consider it to be linked it's easier than thinking that you're protected in the 1st place. not a black lives matter activists have reportedly been charged with harassment and attempted assault has claimed they attacked a trump supporting journalist who was covering a rally. i think that there was something going on that he says. to the right of the current drug czar who heard these reports was that really she supports charities 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 be turning off their
11:09 am
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 now very physically threatening to journalists so as we heard then she was filming a black flies massa rally when demonstrators identified her as a conservative reporter and she claims that nearby police ignored her calls for help one point a protester even appears to rub a huge snapping in her. 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 boyce's are shut off and so is it may give up a start of unity or peace but it's act the detriment of you know $75.00
11:10 am
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 6 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 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 actually occurring from the left onto the right we see censorship that's going on and it's not even. occur. now the 1st pictures have emerged of british actress jodie turn a smith as english queen queen anne boleyn in the t.v. mini series she will be the 1st black woman to betray the monarch or u.k. television the creators say that they wanted to challenge conventions about the
11:11 am
queen's life but the casting decision has been met with a mixed reaction black people shouldn't for 3 white people if you start a color white stories and vice versa we have our own stories it's not a power and 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 cordova are still in progress only a matter of time before martin luther king displayed by dominic west but a similar clash of opinions emerged over a leading black character in the movie adaptation of the 3 musketeers of the french judio producing it says the musketeer named hannibal is loosely based on a real african prince who became the 1st black musketeer in france your original story though by alexander dumas doesn't include characters of african descent my colleague colin brake put the issue up for debate. i think at the end of the day it
11:12 am
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 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 access is 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
11:13 am
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 and 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 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 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 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
11:14 am
ancient roman of ancient. greece and the embarrassingly white which just isn't true either is it so it's about time that we got was redressed isn't it anthony oh well rome agrees i mean i'm talking about subsaharan africa roma greece is not the look absolutely me that this effect now you can say could be more racially ambiguous and that's fine but i mean come on in the past we can look at the past and say ok some of the movies are right that's by and let's create it's not a story is a path is due to a rabbit in tennessee over the pace and some of the movies once all the 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
11:15 am
queens or are there no african queens that you could play rabbit in a white queen. now in other news tonight russia says that brussels is deliberately destroying ties with moscow led by the foreign minister sergei lavrov or so i've said that he wants to develop mutually beneficial relations with europe but he's ready for any scenario this is tensions worsened in recent weeks over the political activists alexina valmy don't quarter has more details lever of seems generally pessimistic about the current state of relations between russia and the european union after his meeting with the finnish foreign minister but he said that responsibility for this actually live with brussels so let's take a listen to what exactly he said got accustomed to the framework of the relations between russia and the youth has been deliberately destroyed by brussels we must be a group of developments it's up to the e.u. to choose if they decide that relations must be rebuilt or burst will also be ready
11:16 am
food level statement comes on the backdrop of a general worsening of relations with europe last week the russian foreign minister said that moscow is ready to sever relations with europe if it deploys sanctions against it now these sanctions in question that brussels is considering of course are connected to the recent imprisonment of opposition activist aleksei nevaeh me who was arrested for violating parole and accuses the russian government of poisoning him now moscow denies any involvement in this but many e.u. officials are behind in of all needs narrative things also didn't go so well after the european union's foreign representative joe also borel visited russia his return to the e.u. was greeted by a split european parliament with anti russian representatives calling for his resignation and others pushing for more reconciliation with russia so what we're seeing really is a situation in which officially can't come to a consensus about where to move forward from here. now it's been 10 years since the
11:17 am

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 an orchard 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 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 that few years before they bombed libya into the ground gadhafi had hinted it potentially nationalizing all the oil production but no that's crazy talk isn't it but i can see if there were experts we spoke to do you believe that the nato intervention in libya fueled by western nations or teary motives to spell disaster in libya. intervention by the nato did not apply all that was supposed to civilians it turned into a regime change operation and instead of bringing his claim to be peace and save realty and order and progress and development and democracy to the people of libya what crime has been bodies all over all part of the libyan libyan people it's

11:25 am
africa then of course you have france france as you know bases its power as an imperialist force on its role in africa for its interests were conflicting with libya's interests and libya had to go that is to say khadafi had to go keep in mind as well that the then president mr cote sarkozy was accused credibly of taking money under the table from tripoli and he had an interest also in seeing that mr gadhafi would be ousted. finally a 10 day and a tree 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 reporters a surge in demand for trips away. feel.
