for a day and chris. welcome to our to international my names you know neil in 30 minutes of news and views start. russian scientists have developed the world's 1st test for the new corona virus strain that was originally detected in britain the deadlier variant lead to many countries closing their borders. picks up the story for us. what this particular mutation more commonly known as the british strain has caused some alarm all over the world essentially one thing to understand about it while not more aggressive as any other strain of the virus for the hosts body it is much more contagious and therefore it poses an increased risk of hospitalization and death

and that's why russian scientists decided to single out this particular strain 1st . well developed in the new test in system we used the same approach as we did for the main test it is the same express method where you need about an hour to receive test results which is much faster than the classic p.c. our testing we don't try to replace our main test it is not a method for mass diagnostics it's a tool for e.p.d. milage ical surveillance to control the spread of new strains however well developed in the new testing system we kept in mind that if we need to detect other strains we could do it in a short period of time. well one thing to understand about covert 19 is that it's a virus that well it mutates very easily adapting to different environments and so on that's why it is potentially very concerning because what if it develops and evolves into a version that kills people quicker so that's why europe is still on lockdown at

least of some degree some countries of closed outside of the e.u. travel's some countries closed borders even with some of its e.u. neighbors and the move the virus exists and by the way there are no signs that it is going anywhere the movie versions of itself it will create but the russians are saying that with this new technology they will be able to quickly identify and single out whatever new strain comes up. our justice system aims to detect a mutation in a protein that was 1st found in this strain in britain but later it was also found in south africa and brazil and strains as well initially we planned to use to test for surveillance now i do not exclude the possibility that to test can be used for differential diagnosis after coronavirus has been diagnosed in order to understand what kind of virus that person is infected with so the more scientists know about covert 19 the more information doctors have so they will be able to potentially at

least tailor their treatment in accordance as to which strain a patient has and well make it more personal make it more individual and hopefully prevent more deaths. traffic crossing between germany and the czech republic as well as parts of austria has grown to a standstill it's occurring after bertalan shut its borders fearing the spread of the highly contagious u.k. variant of covert 19 our europe correspondent peter oliver takes a closer look at the repercussions of the move. huge traffic jams tailing back from germany's borders with both the czech republic and austria this is after burley and introduced border checks on sunday evening following outbreaks of mutant coronavirus trains in both the czech republic and in parts of austria in the tirol region in particular they put in place these blocks at seeing the huge traffic jams it isn't the only areas that could be happening as well stephens i bear to angola

merkel spokes person the german government spokes person has said that they government it currently reviewing doing the same thing at the borders with france due to outbreaks in that country as well no movement on that decision just yet to close the borders between germany and france it has happened between austria at the czech republic and germany and so far the interior ministry here in berlin have acknowledged that situation is far from ideal. truly of course that our traffic jams and waits in times have increased at the borders at least that's what it was like when the federal police checked about 10000 people and turned away about 5000 on the arrival well these traffic jams aren't just in convience they pose real problems for the german economy take the car industry for example that operates on just in time deliveries of supplies in order to work on the construction of

automobiles just the shortest amount of delay well that can have a potentially huge knock on effect many parts for automobile production the german locations to deliver just in time or just in sequence directly to the some blue line from austria and the czech republic if the testing and controls of the border that result in long traffic jams many car plants in germany will have a breakdown of the supply chains and the subsequent production standstill on their hands the 1st assembly line. will come to a stop within a few hours in the absence of material supplies there's also diplomatic fallout from these border controls both vienna and brussels aren't happy with berlin that they've been putting in place there's been some particularly spicy language coming out of parts of austria germany though says it stands by the session to put these checks in place for weeks but there is minister president marcos sorta hasn't

missed a single opportunity to take a pot shot at the role these constant push your recent remarks of disgraceful and don't be fit a minister president that's not the way to treat neighbors the truth is that the virus cannot be stopped by close borders i think it's wrong to return to europe with close boris' like we had in march 2020 we're battling the mutated virus on the borders with the czech republican or strip the e.u. commission should support us and not throw a spanner in the works with their cheap suggestions it seems relentless for germany at the moment not only dealing with the diplomatic fallout that comes from putting in place these checks they're also dealing with an outbreak of the virus in the west of the country as well as an ice cream factory and also pretty quick 210 out of 600 workers there have tested positive for covert 19 at least 2 of those it's been confirmed have tested positive for that mutated british variant of the corona virus so a lot going on

a lot of stress is placed on the east those borders and in the west with a new outbreak as well. for the alternative for germany party sees the e use approach in tackling the pandemic has laid bare its limitations the european union showed that it is incapable to react. unforeseeable situation it began last began last year or when member states started to act across the union was unable or a proper reaction. and then member states tried to give money and more competences to do european union because they wanted to stabilize the union to show to citizens haiti union is able to do it but the more money and more power we transferred from the national capitals to brussels. the bigger where the mistakes made in brussels the biggest mistake you have seen is that the member

states gave power to organized of a keane's to brussels and to the european commission and the result is now that we have. a disaster in almost all developed countries more people work seen and then in europe and germany is on the level of a developing country in terms of percentage of people who already got a white god lexan ated and. you see it from the early and 2020 until now the european union is unable to handle death pandemic it is just able to spend money for nothing in a bid to jumpstart its economy denmark is mulling plans to rely controversial coben 1000 vaccination passports while the practicalities are still under consideration there are fears it will mean vaccinations becoming compulsory in the country one of our instagram bloggers has been pondering the questions and then you're asking

about the. well i read that a is going to introduce a vaccine passport for the car gate and that other countries might be saying. well it's not effectively making the vaccine compulsory tool to those who want to leave your country who want to turn off most things over the thought. of never being odd like to go by economic here but i like to travel so you think. not sung songs no no i don't. want to skew. different cultures or cuisines to the to do. yes. very. vexed nations to visit certain countries but not to leave their own country to to use every trick because. police would fix one target which vaccine would you even

name. which ones that. depends on where you live where these not just travel you know some companies talking about making vaccines compulsory for their employees. oh i will most people will and that's a good thing but some people don't want. to introduction to those who think that their mother. doesn't facebook has their truth is i do not and nod to the risk. of their lives to the ship. fair enough but not all of them are like that. well yes some paper skeptical for understandable reasons but but that's not the polling. well it doesn't matter what their reason me is they should have a choice if we go down the path of making medical procedures effectively compulsory where does that leave this or for you want to.

after weeks of heated debate the french national assembly has voted in favor of making into law a bill that can separatism it was proposed to curb brother bill islam after a series of killings including the brutal beheading of a history teacher last october critics say however it unfairly targets the country's 5700000 muslims lawmakers adopted over 300 amendments to the bill and far from all the m.p.'s are happy with the finished product. you know what it is that silence and absence in other words about the existing separate as they call it is not the same for everyone we have to discuss the issue of the territorial separatism separatism in the vaccination campaign and separatism of the rich. to take it to the aim of this bill is precisely to reinforce our legislative arsenal to combat separatism and to allow the republic to act within the rule of law in

this sense it's a battle plan not to a group or got through to defend the principles of the republic verjuice religious extremism and its dramatic consequences is a serious challenge of our time it's a law that examines us and we have the means to respond to from the harley profit good i.p.o. now a group regrets the repressive character of the text as well as the absence of the social and economic aspects that serves the interest of integration of our fellow citizens. well this law is aimed at in trying the values of the french for public it includes a tightening of rules around things such as religious teaching ringback to online hate and it will also see chance sentences for doctors who perform for genesee tests now the idea of this war was to stop islam ists from creating communities that reject the country's secular identity and also values of equality between men and women this is how the country's interior minister put it the bill provides

concrete responses to the development of radical islam an ideology hostile to the principles and values on which the republic is founded this in law was debated for hours and hours in the national assembly with m.p.'s and balls going through every section of it more than a 100 hours was spent on that in fact and there were more than $300.00 amendments made that despite all of that talking this rumor is seen by some as being king to a witch hunt against muslims are secular a few people in each presidential election particularly muslims are the focus of debates leave us alone leave islam alone through over the more you think we're going to do it if we really want to fight against terrorism what's going on today has nothing to do with this quite on the contrary it will only make it worse if you have a woman it scares me it scares me for the youth because the problem is yes we wear

a veil yes we are muslim so what because we are muslims it doesn't mean that we're islam ists it is necessary to make the distinction. now the bill has also sparked collective problems and tensions with other countries you might remember that it was critical coverage in the english language media at the let to present my point of personal intervenes that he was unhappy about past and it's also starting toys countries such as pakistan and turkey don't forget they were approached. yes held across the muslim world they were ethan effigies of president macro level and such is the discontentment with this crackdown and the suggestions about this sooner or later let's say it doesn't go far enough in this dissatisfaction that this you didn't include a ban on women wearing these are making a headscarf in areas such as university so it does seem that nobody was really happy with the fact this bill passed or that this 1st reading this bill had being

in the works spoke very long time over a year ago president it talks about creating a bill like this but it really came it shop focused following a spate of islamist terror attacks in france last year it was of course the brutal beheading of history teacher samuel patty and then 3 people being slaying as a church in a nice review time faults to reflect just how it was going to target this issue that keeps rearing its head time and time again so you'd be really interested to see how this plays out let let's not forget though this is just the 1st hurdle yes it's been rubber stamped by the deputies in the national assembly but it now has to go to the senate where there is a suggestion that it will be strength fruit even move. to look at the us city of minneapolis spends millions of dollars on its police after a major surge in crime blamed on the earlier the funding of course that story and

more after the short of. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by the one percent of those great. no dares thinks. we dare to ask. this is a speculative attack then elon musk is making on the right so he's already going to war with this stuff the f.c.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 the fed and sam looking to buy back my own stock i'm going to take your cheap money i'm going to buy it play like michael sailors do and now 500 other c.e.o.'s in the s. and p. 500 a like you know what that's a darn good idea. to look at almost half of the stuff working for the new york times newspaper or a partly afraid to freely express their views in the workplace that's according to a report citing a recent survey among the paper's employees when asked whether they believe there was a free exchange of views out the company as many as 49 percent said no and use paper's management reportedly admitted the level of perceived freedom was lower compared to other similar it although the majority of us feel well informed many indicated the

differing viewpoints aren't sought or valued in our work related lee we saw some negative responses on whether there's a free exchange of views in the company and scored below the benchmark on this question. we have asked the new york times the comment on the reports we'll bring it to you if and when we get a reply well in the meantime let's speak to all of our favorite new yorkers live on the program legal media list lytle good to see you the new york times then what's your take here it's a respected household name out because of the free press so why do its own employees or partly feel unable to voice their scenting views wait a minute it's a white it's a respected you mean he used to be a respected that was the heralded jaan kid that new york was. it was the ultimate it was the it was it was these zenith the quintessence of it

today it's a pathetic joke now let's make sure we understand something what is this organization the employees of the new york times it's not a factory it's not a hospital it's not a sports team. it's a celebrated again vaunted bastion of free speech protected by the 1st amendment the irony the hypocrisy it drips so thick we can't see through it it goes to show you it's all done and what they don't understand is that that model that notion of the new york times a newspaper you know above the fold from the days of of actual newspapers where we had a great and celebrated journalist it's over it's been over for so long in so many

respects but this goes to show you this is what we've come to right now it is the worst i have ever seen and let me just say one thing it's not the thought police that we're talking about it's thought vigilantes the people who were screaming the most the people who quassia suppress and subjugate and remove free speech are not such a government citizens people in swarms and mobs and a clock receives admirations of of thugs that that that pound you down if you dare say the wrong thing or if you ever said the wrong thing in any circumstance no matter how long ago oh it's bad it's real thing you have of course conservative voices accusing the left of seeking to suppress any opposing viewpoint we've know enough for quite some time is this line of an example of or is it more

corporatism a player junior stuff perhaps of all stripes feeling as if they're being ignored. to great question it is indeed an admixture of the left the left to the radical left the anarchic neal istic left who happens to have found a great place to work at a place called the new york times but then you also have something which is very interesting you have the i don't mean to say the inmates are running the asylum but you have this sense of entitlement how dare you tell me what to do i mean it's it sounds interesting i mean it's it's wonderful for employees in those individuals working in an org organization to speak up but what we have right now are people who are saying we are going to tell you the editorial board what you want and what we don't like think about this you had one time not too long ago the head of

editorials or the newspapers having a meeting to get an ok and ask for suggestions from employees as to what the official position of the time should be or what the commentary i mean it's just absurd. thank you very much for your time today lionel media live from new york city thank you sir. now let's stay stateside because in the aftermath of george floyd's death last year after being restrained by minneapolis police the u.s. city decided to de-fund law enforcement you remember that however it since then crime has surged console chiefs have been forced into a major u. turn they have now i voted to spend a whopping $6000000.00 in a bid to regain law and order recent data suggests that the number of gun shop victims it's all up 250 percent compared to the same period last year additionally rape cases i'm increased by more than a 5th robbery by almost 60 percent the city currently has around $200.00 fewer

officers than usual many left the for sure when to leave amidst the scenes of protest riots looting that followed the death of mr floyd in may. thank. you thank god we got people that thought i. was wrong because. we let. go.

of following the months long scenes of on rest and violence the president of minneapolis city council announced plans to replace the police but what she called a transformative new model of public safety and she wasn't alone in calling for such radical changes. i will never call sign off on funding a police department that continues to brutalize also and i will love her and stop saying not only do we need to invest burned police but we need to completely dismantle the minneapolis police department. remember they voted a few months ago to take $8000000.00 away from the police department which they did and what happened there there are some businesses in the city of minneapolis who are getting hit by the same person to end 3 times in a week and now for the city council to say well we're going to spend money to hire

new police officers so you know you almost yell us have to laugh at it it's ridiculous what's going to happen is you are going to see a shortage of police officers in larger urban centers like minneapolis new york chicago los angeles most if not all of these cities are run by the democrats and the democrats tend to not support their police officers you can't support your criminals and consider them victims and not support your police and not expect crime to rise and in all of those city as i mentioned most of them have skyrocketing homicide rates skyrocketing violent crime rates you vilify your police officers you better make friends with criminals because that's all you're going to have left. ok just before we go this hour i want to bring you live now

to barcelona where protests have erupted on the streets there in support of running for public hostile police earlier i rested the musician who had barak aided himself in a university with supporters after being. with insulting at the royal family state institutions and glorifying terrorism he is facing a 9 month jail term and was jus $200.00 self in but the 5 the order we just lost some of the connection there but there's been quite a lot of unrest in barcelona over the past hour or 2 a big football game there's world barcelona p.s.g. someone rest a lot of people on the street defying bill saying more than 6 people can be there we'll bring that to you throughout the evening hours and when we get a little bit more information and what is occurring in the capital capital or right if you are in an investigative mood why not delve a little further into those stories are tea dot com as always has you covered fresh

content interesting viewpoints always to be discovered i'm you know no real good bye for. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy for and let it be an arms race in. spearing dramatic development the only really resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. time to sit down and talk. in the 1920 s. and thirty's several 100 african-americans moved to the soviet union and many of their descendants still live in russia. looking at the risk of no no rush but also

up of stuff. on things on their way. back home like american suffered from racism and a complete lack of prospects. of the real. one by else a store on. so they decided to leave everything behind and start a new life in a country about which they knew almost nothing at all and some of the. earlier through during the night. around the crowd. to the moon if you will go on to call. you. know almost a 100 years later the history is repeating itself my great grandfather george time went to russia. on probable worst time to go anywhere why not me.

why don't i come here. hi i'm max kaiser this is the kaiser report well. as christine legarde might call it funny money let's get into it stacy right worst mom money because more money is being handed out and in the 2nd half we talk to dominic frisby about his new edition of the american version of daylight robbery that the history of taxation is very fascinating but it's relevant to today because as we see the money printer go broke it's the same story that's been going on since ancient mesopotamia of of men with guns as paul krugman calls them like to come around and collect some of your money or.
