virtual pal yeah the pile reasonable flight was for middle school i was reading one way. which is the morning's headlines rush sure accuses the e.u. of meddling in its internal affairs of the block imposes sanctions over the jailing of opposition figure alexina valmy for parole violation. brayley's can now be fattened for most public places leave some jobs unless they've been vaccinated but the so-called green pass is raising rights concerns in the growth in forged documents too. but also covering fear in the us brands workplaces even families pay the price of deepening divisions despite political calls to come together again.

yesterday to the morning here good morning from moscow live from artie's worldviews age cute kevin i am with you for the next half hour with our latest happy days going good so far so that 1st moscow sees new e.u. sanctions as an attempt to interfere in russia's internal affairs blocs demanding the release of the kremlin critic election of ali imprisoned for violating the terms of his parole in response to events around the situation not only are we rich or political that we've been doing. measures against chris principle for suppressed and sentencing and persecution. and for doing that for the 1st time ever. remake usual to be in union global human gretsch regime to dissent for the sanctions will be targeting those connected

with the jailing of kremlin critic alexei novelli we don't know exactly who will be directly targeted by these but we have a good guess that it will be people involved in the investigative committee in russia the national guard the prosecutor general's office as well as the federal penitentiary service this all came about following a meeting between the high representative for foreign affairs yes that but al the foreign ministers of the 27 e.u. member states they were also joined at one point by the u.s. secretary of state anthony blinken as well the terms that they came to the agreement that they came to was that as far as they were concerned russia had been acting as an adversary towards the european union we actually need to do more support to all those engagement a country and russia in defending the political and civil freedoms the same time we

must define a moderate be the end it to avoid to permanent confrontation with a neighbor. cool unfortunately seems to have decided to act a senator or study in international practice this is called interference into the internal affairs of a sovereign state the european union it appears doesn't want to follow the ethical codes of interstate relations but chooses to exploit the myth of its own and fail ability in human rights to promote its own concept of a world order based on rules russian foreign minister sergei lavrov that earlier on said that the reason that the relationship between brussels and moscow was so bad right now was all the fault of the european union he did say though that russia was willing to improve that relationship with the e.u. but brussels to make steps 1st. the framework of the relations between russia and

the youth has been deliberately destroyed by brussels we must be prepared for any developments it's up to the e.u. to choose if they decide that relations must be rebuilt or burst he will also be ready for it for this is all in relation to the jailing of the anti corruption activists the kremlin critic alexei in the valley for breaking the conversations of a suspended sentence that was handed down to him by 2014 for being found guilty of the fraud in a french cosmetics company it's still on know exactly who will be targeted by these new e.u. sanctions or exactly what these sanctions will entail but we heard from yossi but on the high representative for foreign affairs of the european union saying all of that should become clear and around a week's time it all over there europe correspondent we sallied out a political analyst on whether or not the latest sanctions will work or indeed could backfire. well of course it's an interference into russian affairs

we have to see that. there are other allegations in russia being dealt with in court concerning the fraudulent use of money and that had been donated to the organization of need and i think it's hard for the e.u. to determine whether these allegations are wrong or whether they are justified and of course the behavior that the european union is showing at the moment is clearly an interference through sanctions which are illegitimate according to chapter 7 of the u.n. charter and if they are not based on a u.n. security council decision and this is obviously not the case but they will have no ill effects no i don't think that those who are imposing these sanctions expect them to. the effect that they're looking for is not in rushing the effect that

they're looking for this in the united states i think that it's entirely appropriate that lincoln was here in brussels to participate in the polish to witness the decisions being taken by european union because they're entirely in line with the overall foreign policy posture of the biden administration it is a kind of holding pattern treading water. hoping that she'll get better times sounding like the e.u. has consensus and unanimity when nothing of the sort really exists with. this could be the start of something bigger to come round the world may the israelis who voted get a co the jab now face being banned from their job in most public places to fall asleep at the nexus when he looks at the new system that is facing criticism from many sides. this is higher corn street in tel aviv which runs parallel to the

coastline it's where many of the city's hotels are located but right now things could not be quieter there are no tourists and the airport is closed this is one of the few hotels that is open but this is the closest we can go assuming you want to enter it you have to have what is called a green pos but it's issued after persons received 2 facts summations 21 days apart and in a month's time just opposite the hotel you won't be able to into shops like this you won't be able to enter supermarkets gym shopping same to synagogues in fact you won't be able to go just about anywhere in israel and least you have a green passport it comes as the government steps up if it's to vaccinate the population it's being met with mixed reaction on the street i think it's necessary i think it's a good idea and we can't force everyone to vaccinate but always a choice has

a consequence and it shouldn't be that everybody in israel suffers because some people make a bad choice i think it's absurd i think it's ridiculous basic human rights are being ignored. if i choose what to put into my body and i choose not to put a box in myself i'm going to be. banished from getting into a soccer game getting into a mall taking my boy to a day trip it's ridiculous so you know human rights are important and it's very easy to slide when you start even with the good intentions to do things like. too much government. and foresman so she was doing plans to ban and vaccinated people from certain jobs and this woman that anyone found forging vaccine certificates will be jailed a black market for counterfeit certificates is flying on telegram already 100000 uses have joined groups that promote forgeries i think that the government should

not be bad people from having jobs i think that the government should most definitely ban. people who put others at risk from jobs in which they can put others at risk more important than my job is my life and in my life is at stake if i don't take the vaccination so i would take the vaccination and if i get to keep my job because of it that it's an extra bonus. i understand if people take this this road in forward a certain document i wouldn't do it personally but i can completely understand this is a crime i think that the waivers so this gobies or make them or buy them should be punished vaccine has a tendency and skepticism have become a growing concern in recent weeks as israel's world leading inoculation program slows down just under 2000000 israelis have not received either of the 2 shots and

many say they don't plan to it's forcing the government to come up with new and same tips both positive and negative to encourage people to receive shots policia r.t. tel aviv. israeli political analyst of adore askin warms the rules rice fundamental rights concerns though and risk making the un vaccinated that too is a bullying. green passport is not a good idea we should leave the people in their freedom of choice as long as they don't harm others it's really gets to know the basic idea of freedom of choice if somebody wants to get vaccinated i mean it it's a good idea to do it i did it and most of my family members also but if someone chooses not to do it it says right not to be discriminated not to be a victim of. public bully for that which it should get back on normal lives keeping

in mind there are certain groups of people whose house should be especially protected and not to harm everybody not to harm our children not to harm our future not to harm my common. meanwhile both the german and british governments are under attack for easing coby destructions people in both countries worry that the moves could reverse improvement of the situation with the pandemic at the moment we've got more on that later this hour to tell you about how you know . this next though. president biden's insisted the u.s. is quote not divided adding that he can heal the nation but some disturbing developments across the country suggest the task might not be quite as easy as he claims as donald court has been finding out. if you take joe biden's word at face value you might think political polarization in america is no big deal the nation

is not divided this is not nearly as divided as we make it out to be but if you take a look at what's actually going on in the streets well a different picture begins to appear. and according to the statistics your eyes are not deceiving you i think we're all aware of how political polarization has affected our elections and system of government but the impacts go far beyond the political arena it seems the facts contradict biden's feel good speeches about unity take the family the core structure of american society it's a real example of unity and something more important than political bickering with

that in mind check out what one republican senators family had to say about his decision to support trump's impeachment we all thought really just gusted with you it is now most embarrassing to us that we're related to you you've been bearers the kings and family name ok he's a politician his family cannot get around political talk at the dinner table but divorces parents disowning their children this is happening in ordinary american families it's tough my husband's trumper has cost such strive daily feel like i want a divorce i am a registered republican who is now an independent who voted democrat my republican family however has dug in they think i'm the crazy one they were shocked to find out i hated donald trump then they were to hear i was also nothing none of my family members talk to me. i'm so sorry for anyone who's lost a family over politics it has. you can see it in the workplace where playing politics can get you fired and the spotlight of national news like the former what

a burger employee who wore a black lives matter mask to the job it went ahead but that's the ticket that i made in the style of clothing that i think everything you say that is the things you probably shouldn't buy the wrong item either unless you want to incur the wrath of those who don't agree with you go a food for example is now being boycotted just because the boss prays donald trump for a also under boycott because the company dropped its contract with a conservative beauty blogger who claims she was targeted for her political views and the head of my pillow is taking flak since he publicly supports the idea that the last presidential election was fraudulent the keyboard warriors have drawn their swords and retailers have even cut ties with the companies because of it so next time you think about buying a pillow think twice unless of course you want your family to fall apart. just a robot young told us the situation reflects the fact there is no more communication across political divides. i honestly think that it has to do with the

fact that we can interact with each other a lot more we were probably always at our core of this polarized the differences is that now the the barbarian at the gate to use a metaphor is a lot closer in realtor than it was when we had cities that lived in liberal bubbles and red states that lived in their bubbles and everybody kind of believed based on the way that you would go about your life that there was a little bit more of a hamas genus lifestyle now the person that is is very very conservative sees the fringe of the liberal city life in the liberal city live sees the fringe of our conservative ecosystem they are on top of each other in a digital way that simply didn't exist until this moment. britain's prime minister's announced plans to ease code restrictions with germany also

sending out optimistic messages to about the end of the law but the average dusty reports this morning not everyone is convinced that the time is still right. boris johnson the prime minister senshi says this time around this lockdown will absolutely be the last one and so he has announced his route out of the lock down saying and describing as a one way road to freedom we're able to take the steps but this is the resolve of the british public. success of our religious in battle more than 70500000 people across the u.k. but of course the united kingdom has been this all scale national lockdown 3 times and this time around for at least 2 months and so many people are really welcoming this move however the prime minister did actually acknowledge the substantial threat remains quite high with kovac 19 and does say that the number of cases still remain very high indeed so some people are quite critical about lifting that up to

measures at this time when the data dictates the absolute opposite having said that what is being proposed is a 4 step process with 5 weeks in between each step to allow for the government to pause reflect analyze and then move on to the next stage of the process now the government the u.k. government is not alone in his plan of lifting the lockdown measures we have to look only across the english channel to other countries across europe like germany is also listing its lock down measures as well even though in a very similar situation to here in britain the number of cases of covert 19 remain quite high and in fact in germany are also on the rise not prompting some fears with many people in germany from my point of view you can't keep the school soap and when it becomes clear the infection risk is rising considerably the regions that are now opening the nurseries and schools are running high risk. $1000.00 has gripped the world for almost

a year now and it is safe to say that many people are incredibly desperate for all of the lockdowns to end but the key question is is it actually safe enough to. well the number of cases remain quite high maybe we should be cautious in school or fully agreed we need to get the schools open as soon as possible but maybe we should think of a staggered approach you know being the school just see what the you know what would happen to the infection rates in the schools are all rather than all the schools schools indeed contribute to straight up infection so we we have to you know baby steps to make sure then we do not end up where we ended up the last time and we have to be very very vigilant make sure that we do not draw a further with the more that infection rates are in the community there are more there is that we might have an idea weary and and we should you know we had an excellent job with bricks nation you know excellent job of execution so we should

not you know true everything that we have given just playing being a little bit impatient. part international on a tuesday morning if you have to watch the clock it's 19 past the hour right now now a nurse faces a suspended sentence for throwing projectiles police during a paris rally by health workers but she says the message she was trying to get across is far more important than her court case. just be there for what i am here for the difficulties that health care workers encounter and i'm here for the secret can no longer be treated as they wish hospitals are everybody's business so if we continue at this rate we won't be able to get treatment in public hospitals in some of the footage of readers arrest went viral a group of heavily armed riot police could be seen her laying her face into the ground there faced before she's begging for her inhaler and she's dragged away while the instance put opinion with some saying she provoked offices by showing

a middle finger and throwing concrete blocks in their direction others warn such police brutality though is indefensible so it's 2 sides to this depending on your view on it judges asserted decide on her case in may supporters of the civil ready gathered at the court building in the capital calling for an end to what they call her persecution but there are those who also want to see her punished. the rules are what we want is a sanction as sanction that will mark the reality of justice and that the feeling of impunity can no longer take place because otherwise tomorrow this situation will happen again he judged to be violent but i know that it is perfectly within the rules it's not a matter of condoning for readers gesture it is a matter of recontextualize in the situation in which it happened for it isn't the one who should be in court today. that's what drives for ritter and many others to act this way it's despair it's contempt it's the ransacking of public services

it's these destructive policies. enough of the repression enough ok we weren't trained for this through their actions we had it was human i'm sorry but every human every human who feels in danger is bonded to act in self-defense that's it i don't condone it but i understand it. but the real issue turned to call for better conditions and pay for health care workers on the front line of a pandemic the lawyer says the protestors are little choice but to take this drastic action. we're not attempting to establish what was done but rather what the reason was for it and the reason the dreadful work of ever changing members of the government in particular with an environmental macross ministration i'm talking about their actions regarding hospitals health care workers and patients during the pandemic and before the. young. facebook's mistakenly blocked messages

from public authorities promoting vaccination against covert raising worrying questions than about the social media giants ability to control vital content on its platform. the restrictions made it very difficult for the township in our efforts to inform our residents about important information regarding covered 1000 registration and updates this is very unfair. course is far from the 1st such controversy of its kind since september more than a 100 u.s. and european organizations have had their covert vaccinated messages flagged 6 up as political and then the been removed and they warn the appeals process is taking too long to facebook insists it's working closely with these groups well we have temporarily paused as about social issues and actions are a politics we continue to allow ads about cover 1000 the promote vaccine efficacy and have made our guidance to advertisers on how to run them publicly available. one internet law expert told us the issues is part of a much wider problem somebody has to exercise judgment somebody has to tell the

greet him those individuals are possibly motivated by ideology i think one of the problems is that those with the took promoting oxidation who were regarded by facebook will greet him as political adverts and the truth is a very interesting question is this really a political question of whether to go and get vaccinated or not to go and get vaccinated was the algorithm designed to treat those top of advert as political messages or was this just an accidental or glitch there is a debate now whether facebook is still. a reliable source of information for many people are starting to look elsewhere buckley because of our facebook policy of political censorship partly because of facebook inability on the other hand to

monitor what is really regarded is fakirs. a un report due to be published next month's expected to accuse a top us private military firm of a legally sending fighters and arms to a libyan warlord are to america's alex mahalo it's next and this morning reporting on the notorious companies we call blackwater has now been renamed academy. it's been called a hit and run military campaign in 2011 a nato led regime change operation helped dismantle libya's government leading to the brutal killing of the country's leader moammar gadhafi. after that many say the country was abandoned by the western military coalition dividing libya and leading to a civil war between 2 factions both declaring themselves the legitimate government of the nation but 2 groups use local militias and foreign powers to their advantage of perpetuating the chaos in libya however earlier this month in geneva a un brokered compromise saw the political rivals agree to form an interim

government which includes representation from both sides by the. power great libyan people our victory today goes beyond the issue of a standalone victory to something greater than that of them as it represents a symbol of the victory of national unity reunification peace building and achieve the desired democracy although many see the accord as a breakthrough militia groups sometimes backed by sympathetic politicians continue to plague the nation this has led to some leaders being skeptical about just how unified the government is here's fatty bashar government of the interior minister for libya's un backed government a month before the agreement was signed but this is the biggest problem for me it's not the militias which are weak and easily broken apart but the problem is that some of the parts institutions of the state provide support to the members of these militias and on sunday bashar has motorcade came under heavy fire on a highway on the outskirts of libya's capital tripoli the interior minister was the

target of what is being called oh well planned assassination attempt one of his guards died in the shoot out as for the assailants one was killed and 2 were taken into custody the government have not been identified and a recently revealed confidential u.n. report brings up the question were they under the control of foreign or domestic powers according to the report. in 2019 the infamous u.s. security firm blackwater violated the united nations arms embargo on libya twice when erik prince blackwater's founder said foreign mercenaries and weapons to support libyan warlord khalifa haftar are against the tripoli based government described as a well funded private military company operation the plan was for mercenaries to track down and kill libyan leaders and it would be fair to assume that the attacks could have resembled what happened to libya's interior minister on sunday a spokesperson for prince denied the accusations at the annual u.n.

report the report will be officially released to the public next month this would be the 1st time that the u.s. has supported you know a violation is good you know un arms embargoes to achieve you know in american centric outcome we know that the us supported by aleisha of the arms embargo and supporting croatia back during geo balkans conflict the us was at the forefront of should feed weapons from libya to turkey and on to syrian rebels u.s. policy is it is a continuum in many cases you know having the united states be a close ally of the united arab emirates who was working with blackwater according these allegations i don't believe anything is happening in libya involving eric prince that the united states government is not aware of the fact that these and these these activities are allowed to you know at least be considered as is

possibilities means that the u.s. had turned a blind eye to them. that soraya just a snapshot of what we're talking about today it's 28 past the hour and i whatever you do wherever you watch and i hope it's a good choose day for you check it out of a social media for so much more from us to kevin out of the team signing off for now. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy thing for him to let it be an arms race move his arms off and spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

one else seemed wrong. rowles just don't call. me old but yet to shape our disdain he comes to educate and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to get us to the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

my father contacted many lawyers in both canada and the united states and no one was prepared to do this they were very very brave to go up against the government in this way that night parents thought of them as heroes and and so today david or like coach standing as a member of parliament didn't really help as much. as the powers that be an ottawa room were concerned about not rocking the boat with their american colleagues and they were about. dancing a case that was brought by one of their own members of parliament. a lot of bizarre physical therapy is going on in psychiatry at the time. but no one had ever used the combination of very powerful drugs convulsive therapy extended sleep sensory i salute.
