u.s. president addressing the summit for the 1st time as u.s. president also becoming the 1st sitting u.s. president to address the conference in munich america is back that was the overarching message throughout his speech if it was to be summed up and he certainly repeated it enough times when i last spoke in munich i was a private citizen but i said at that time we will be back and i'm a man of my word america's back i speak today as president of the united states at the very start of my administration and i'm sending a clear message to the world america is back the transatlantic alliance is back and we are not looking backward we are looking forward together what we did hear from the u.s. president there was a lot of things we've heard from the united states in the past that russia is

a problem when it comes to the european union we also heard from some of things about china particularly when it came to business joe biden saying that competition with china is going to be stiff but it's something that his administration relishes he also said that everybody has to play by the same rules there was also praise for the new u.s. administration from the director general of the w h o ted dross and. the world health organization chief thanking joe biden for bringing the united states back into it he was very much part of the overarching message as i said of the joe biden love it was echoed by. guy who's the face of the new nick security conference also by chancellor angela merkel who spoke alongside eat if you can take into account the virtual nature of this year's summit the one voice that was. greying from the message of joe biden is the king

was french president mind you will crawl and he strayed from it slightly when he suggested that the e.u. needs to pay more attention to its own security and not rely so heavily on the us in the future i listened very carefully to the 2 prison biden and the common challenges i think it is time for us to take much more of the burden of our own protection when we speak about security at our borders it is normal and sometimes us could decide to be less involved if we are too much dependent on the us really need to we can put ourselves into a situation to be no more protected at our borders or money or micro misspeaking as the 3rd of that triumvirate of joe biden and angle merkel and president micron he did end with a bit of a strange diplomatic flex both the u.s. president of the german chancellor left and moved on to their next speaker he decided mr micron decided he was going to hang about and take some questions which

seemed to catch a few people off guard a peculiar diplomatic flex from the palace it seems. interesting peter thanks for that charlotte also with us keeping our focus on today's g. 7 meeting a lot of talk ahead all about covert vaccines in particular the disparities between the wealthy west and the developing world was that a key factor of today's online come together. 90 in the high on the agenda virtual summit of the g 7 with leaders pledging plenty of cash to try and help the kovacs program this is the global rollout of 19 vulgar léon from the e.u. said they would double their offering to $1000000000.00 euros in total around $7500000000.00 was pledged germany's angela merkel said her country was one of the biggest contributors. i'm happy to say the germany also has one and

a half 1000000000 euro supporting callbacks we're one of the biggest contributors to this program in fact among the biggest with the u.s. and u.k. now there have been calls before this meeting for g 7 countries to do more than just pledge money to actually pledge vaccines up to 5 percent all of their vaccine doses to poor countries to help the rollout of vaccination in those poor countries boris johnson ukase prime minister emanuel marquand president of france leading those cools but it didn't seem that the g 7 were ready to step up to the plate for that day plenty of money on offer but nobody is saying when they would send vaccine doses to poor countries there was an offer of surplus when all adults for example in the u.k. had been vaccinated but nothing than that now there is huge criticism

now from major charities and organizations including unicef which is one of the organization. which leads the deployment of vaccine inoculations to poor and middle income countries and also from. making huge profits of africa and asia wait for them to lift over vaccines from rich countries stalks is not just immoral poor countries should not be forced to wait for vaccines to trickle down to them between the g 7 nations have secured enough vaccines for everyone of the citizens to be vaccinated 3 times over while many poor countries a year to receive a single dose there have also been accusations of course of western countries who are doing doses of vaccine the u.n. secretary general saying earlier this week 75 percent of the doses already when this is would witnessed it in 10 countries only and there's a suggestion that this race by western leaders to help out poor and middle income

countries is a little bit more about politicking and that's because they're trying to catch up with russia and china who already for many months now have been sending doses over the vaccine to those and middle income countries some leaders including president manual on raising concerns that they could use that as a sense of a new type of soft power of vaccine diplomacy but as the g 7 are now trying to catch up with they still not pledging actual doses of vaccines but money charities which is. busted them for what it's described as being a lack of coordinated action from the g 7. the international offers specialist daniel schorr believes despite biden's pledge that america is back for some countries it never went away to something about america which we never got the

people of. south america really. never got the miss america dani. where as in american imperialism by this trying to present a new face to face of clinical global partnership is transatlantic partnership well nato has consistently played a role of trying to contain russia look at nato i did libya to yugoslavia this countless examples of this quote unquote transatlantic partnership certainly donald trump was very bad for some wings of the ruling interests here in the united states so i think it is frightening but we remember obama's pivot to china to asia we see chinese growth in this is what scares the united states so they're trying to set up camp with their junior partners historically.

england france japan so they continue they can continue to compete with china and try to out out you know. a friday's talks came just the day after a virtual meeting of nato defense ministers now about ended in the military bloc secretary-general unveiling a must simply expanded mission in iraq insisting the measure would fight terror today we decided to expand nato training mission in iraq to support the iraq it forces us to fight terrorism and ensure that our system is not returned the size so our mission will increase from 500 personnel to wrong 4000 and trained here to this will now include more iraq to security situations areas beyond bugout a former u.s. marine corps intelligence officer scott ritter told us who he thinks stands behind nato is ron paul in the middle east. when you're beyond baghdad out in the boonies

in remote facilities training iraqi security forces that are in constant contact with with with isis or other extremist enemies there will be losses in nato is not configured to do this that prepared politically to do this so then the question is who will provide the combat backup and that of course is the united states and once united states employs combat force in support of nato the 2 missions become intertwined and then nato which has made a big point of saying hey we're being invited by the iraqi government which is the opposite that the situation currently exists regarding u.s. forces this is just a horrible situation that underscores 2 realities one that nato is not a politically mature organization capable of making independent decisions and has been pushed into this direction by the united states into the united states is in

a dire situation where it can no longer unilaterally impose its will and it increasingly has to rely on partners and his nato to do the heavy lifting for that . kind of a story we're closely following today russia has accused brussels of politicizing the path lincolns coronavirus after an e.u. chief or slip underline made controversial comments questioning moscow's motives and offering to aid the block with its facts seem reluctant. we are perplexed to hear assessments by the head of the you exactly as it is either an effort to politicize the issue in an insubstantial dated and indeed deplorable way or indicates an inadequate level of awareness of the top level official we still wonder why russia is offering theoretically millions and millions of doses while not sufficiently progress in vaccinating the own people thrushes dismayed by

the lack of to promo see but also the lack of humanity that the chief has recently shown again politics beats cooperation when it comes to the covert 19 facts scene for the e.u. it really has been a struggle a struggle to get production off the ground a struggle to get jobs and arms a struggle with the u.k. of the who gets however many doses and the slowness in inoculating its 450000000 strong population has got people angry and frustrated this was in that view a political test russel's failed to the point that wonderland had to publicly apologize and didn't notice the senate this fact is today we're not where we want to be in combating the virus we were later drawn to authorize ation we were too old to mystic about mess production and maybe we also took for granted that the doses it would actually arrive on time we must ask ourselves why and what lessons we can draw from it while one lesson that did come out was that the ease been so inefficient that individual member states have been forced to go out on the road

looking for alternatives and then looking at russia hungry for example has rights to from urgency you sputniks see we also heard in the czech republic showing up a tight for the russian fraxinus so here we've got us out of one delay and buried by criticism humiliated by having to say sorry feeling the pressure what better way to divert attention from all the problems in your backyard than by fighting accusations at another country but do along the lines concerns have any. and here i mean i understand this but think of it has been registered in 29 countries already but what's the situation right here within russia well from the very get go as soon as russia became the 1st country in the wild to register with 1000 francs in president putin said russians come fast they are our priority and this was something that was reiterated by the officials and brussels representatives of the russian authorities saying to for community and business entities have repeatedly publicly stressed that vaccination of its own citizens constitutes an absolute

priority for russia in its fight against covert 19 in full compliance with the principles of democracy and human uteri and law inoculation and russia's voluntary and to date all interested citizens are provided with the vaccine without delay and free of charge without free accessibility is undeniably a scene success washers and top 3 if you're a 10 nations in terms of facts nations at last count 2200000 including many of our colleagues who described how smooth the process was you know they turned up they didn't have to book in advance they did the medical check they got fastow's then the 2nd dose then they went home and they were getting back to normal life and this discrepancy between internal and external to mond is something that moscow raised recently. we haven't had any reports about vaccine shortages and where domestic demand for this vaccine is still gathering momentum as for demand for the russian vaccine it is indeed high it's so high that it suppresses production capacity

that's why we are actively working on quickly launching production of the vaccine in several foreign countries production in foreign countries will kill the demand of brought while manufacturing inside the country will cover the domestic market so clearly that's the logical response to vonda lens quite hostile comments but hit pretty throwing up political punch was more important than logic perhaps not surprising we obviously know that you russian relations are going through a slightly bumpy potch moscow says it's for straighted by brussels consistently interfering and it's in tons of files and it looks like hey we might be seeing the same story instead of trying to resolve its own issues the e.u. is trying to deflect attention and undermining a country who's trying to offer a helping hand. this is r t international in the news continues in 90 seconds they were with us.

measures human beings to change makes it so i think nothing else yes i think is what is lost paris is going to make people uneasy but really why should we force a good time just because nature. will be what we could choose that. there's any deficiency in the last 4 years it was the fact that we had this transformational president with really grand aspirations that were broadly supported by the american people in the most populous present in this country's recent history were matched by the appointments that were made in the administration but i think maybe with his background in business he might have underestimated the importance of personality but having worked

in the white house in the executive branch of government so much rests on personnel . minutes into the program let's start back in spain which is suffering a 4th night of riots over the jailing of. rapper public house l was arrested for quote slumbering the crowd glorifying terrorism protesters have rallied across the country to oppose is the tension running it's a violation of his right to free speech barcelona based journalist evelyn is among the crowds in catalonia scalp. so they're screaming so peace treaties. already the 1st day of the practice even kept along. the main c.t.t.

to release the problem how so who was imprisoned. screaming this is their aggression on the freedom pressure and they are demanding the release. so the protesters have just destroyed one of the main banks of qatar long. as you can see behind me. they are getting quite aggressive and they're all the time provoking the police they are damaging the shops as you can see behind me there are rubbish containers on fire by the protesters there mostly young teenagers playing the music becoming aggressive they're provoking the police. and it seems like it's going to last for another couple hours probably tomorrow also. you know the story that's got a lot of people talking and comparing that to

a boy called facebook is gaining momentum in australia and it revolves around the text joy blocking news posts and it's bad form in the country over a proposed law to make social networks pay publishers for news content via streaming government criticize facebook's this mission. i would just side of this is a strike you're going to business here you work according to our rules but the idea of shutting down the sort of sorts di did yesterday as some sort of threat well 'd i know i was trying to react to that and i thought that was a. the not a good move on the part of this morning so we'll see where one of those discussions go on we can find a pathway going forward yesterday's actions by face were on this a series they were heavy handed they've generated a very strong reaction here in a strike. just to pick up some of what was being said there in addition to news post gold so blocked a number of key

a streaming government pages health departments emergency services trade unions the company later commented on the issue saying those accounts have been quote inadvertently impacted on are now being restored international weighed in on the issue saying facebook's willingness to control information that people rely on is extremely concerning. sides reaction to carry those back to st louis and it's also a is considering similar legislation to make facebook page a news publishers and says it will not be intimidated earlier i 'd spoke to a number of guests on the. although i don't like facebook by any means i also don't blame them for trying to put a stop to what i think is a very bad policy that in the end well only end up hurting smaller independent and perhaps even dissident sources in favor of a larger more establishment media sources these news organizations are disappearing that's really what's at stake and they really don't have any choice because they're

not generating the kind of revenues necessary to run these news this content of which facebook reliance on it we have seen a whole cloth disruption of paid you know professional journalists guys that spent 30 years cutting their teeth and there are a lot of jobs because who's going to pay him $80.00 grand plus benefits to write a story when you can get to me on his you know no unfair of by no real credentials in journalism typing out something and make more money on those clicks so the question is for democracy is what is the threshold where people deserve to have real information and should they have to pay for it should facebook profit on someone else's work without giving them some look you can understand facebook's desire not to give in and start paying for news stories like google did once the box opens there's $200.00 other countries surely saying we want some to facebook

but you do to their shareholders right if we start saying all right facebook will have to pay to feature news articles and news links what's stopping other forms of content from doing the same this whole social media i guess ecosystem has really spun out of control in terms of how it is monetize and actually a i think more equitable if i can use that word solution to this would be to start talking about ways to break up the monopoly that facebook does have on advertising and also on user data basically the biggest problem with facebook is that they're utterly controlling that narrative and they're completely shutting out news that doesn't obey the narrative miss and this goes for almost. every issue down the line that is of the importance today let's remember back in around 2007 i happen to be one of those lucky ones who interviewed this guy who started facebook he was a nobody was still on my space my space everywhere and he said that he wanted to create an ecosystem similar to a a well at the time if we all remembered dial up ale well it closed circuit

environment where all your dating your shopping your opinions and but basically people who weren't able to have real friends in life could have thousands of friends make believe friends and call them their friends and you would never have to leave that world and it would do everything for you well that dream has come true and now all of us are sitting in the middle of it going well wait a minute it's either all capitalism where anything goes and we can all charge for everything or it's part capitalism or it's something but we're at that time of growth now we actually have to make the grown up decisions. poorly organized expensive found on safe that's how some travelers returning to the u.k. have described the country's quarantine hotels the facilities are opened this week for people arriving from coronavirus hotspots under the new measures travelers returning from red listed nations have to quarantine in a hotel for 10 days it costs $1750.00 pounds per person that's around $2400.00

to global markets approximately just under 2 trillion so certainly within a few months the vaulting over silver it's on its way and my believe in 2021 to get half way or so against the market capitalization of gold that is it would be 4 trillion on its way to 10 trillion and then you know once it gets past all there's only the dollar is left. it's been decades since the fall of spain's fascist regime but old wounds still haven't healed. me from you know you are. in the bush at the seams mean older than just the same question to you know. of newborn babies were torn from their mothers and given away and forced adoption i don't know lead. to this day mothers still
