thinks. we should ask. to choose the morning's headlines. of meddling in its internal affairs as the block imposes sanctions of the jailing of opposition figure alexina valmy for parole violation. also this morning israelis cannot be planned for most public places leaving some jobs unless they've been vaccinated with the so-called green passes a racing rights concerns and a growth in forged documents. in the us brian's workplace is even families pay the price of deepening divisions despite political calls to come together again.
1:01 am
none of the morning hello there my name is kevin i hope you have a good day from moscow live from artie's world news h.q. i'm here for the next half hour with our latest for you and 1st moscow sees sanctions as an attempt to interfere in russia's internal affairs that the blocks demanding the release of the kremlin critic election valmy imprisoned for violating the terms of his parole. to revenge around the situation or to not only. we reach a political ribbon to impose just to give measures against those responsible for his arrest and sentencing and prosecution. for doing that the 1st time ever really make usual to be in union global human gretsch regime to descend 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
1:02 am
targeted by these but we have a good guess that it will 'd be people involved in the investigative committee in russia or 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 of 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 also wanted to do more support to all those engagement a country and russia in defending the political and civil freedoms this same time we must define a moderate be the end it to avoid to permanent confrontation with
1:03 am
a neighbor. cool unfortunately seems to have decided to act a senator or city 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 it 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 had to make steps 1st it's the framework of the relations between russia and the youth has been deliberately destroyed by brussels we must be a group for any developments it's up to the e.u. to choose if they decide that relations must be rebuilt or burst we will also be
1:04 am
ready for it well this is all in relation to the jailing of the anti corruption activists and kremlin critic alexei no valley for breaking the conversations of a suspended sentence that was handed down to him back in 2014 for being found guilty of defrauding a french cosmetics company it's still on know and exactly who will be targeted by these new e.u. sanctions or exactly what these sanctions will entail but we heard from those that put on the high representative of foreign affairs of the european union saying all of that should become clear and around a week's time. what we sounded earlier based political analysts on whether or not the latest sanctions would work or maybe even fire. well of course it's an interference into russian affairs we have to see that. there are other allegations in russia being dealt in court concerning the fraudulent use
1:05 am
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 it will have no ill effect and i don't think that those who are imposing these sanctions expect them to . the effect that they're looking for is not in russia the effect that they're looking for this in the united states i think that it's entirely appropriate that blinken was here in brussels to participate in the polish to witness the decisions
1:06 am
being taken by the european union because they're entirely in line with the overall foreign policy. of the biden administration this is cheap it costs the e.u. nothing and it really doesn't do any damage to russia so it is a kind of holding pattern treading water. hoping that they'll get better times sounding like the e.u. has consensus and unanimity when nothing of the sort really exists within the e.u. . now could this be a taste of things to come israelis who won't get a cull the job now face being banned from the job and most public places fall asleep next the looks of the new system this facing criticism from many sides. this is higher calling 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
1:07 am
hotels that is open but this is the closest we can go assuming you want to into it you have to have what is called a green possible 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 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 here if i choose what to put into my body and i choose not to put
1:08 am
a vaccine 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 and 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 jurisdiction plans to ban and vaccinated people from certain jobs and is won't get anyone found forging vaccine certificates will be jailed a black market for counterfeit certificates disquieting on telegram already 100000 users 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
1:09 am
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 in florida a certain document i wouldn't do it personally but i can completely understand this is a crime i think that the waivers so does go bees or make them or buy them should be punished exene 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 tee 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
1:10 am
r.t. tel aviv. an israeli political analyst have a good skin warms the rules raised fundamental rights concerns and risk making the un vaccination victims of bullying this. green passport is not a good idea we should leave the people there freedom of choice as long as the don't harm others it's really gets to the basic idea of freedom of choice if somebody wants to get vaccinated i mean 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 says rights 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
1:11 am
future not to harm my harm and. we will just let you know both the german and british governments are under attack for raising covert restrictions people in both countries worry that these moves could reverse improvements currently in the situation with a pandemic we got more on that in a few minutes. everything from brand names to work relations even family ties are showing signs of breakdown as us political divides begin to affect practically every section of society as the record has been finding out. if you take joe biden's words at face value you might think political polarization in america is no big deal the nation is not divided it's 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 it's a different picture begins to appear.
1:12 am
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 bearish the king's family name ok he's
1:13 am
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 i think i'm a. style of clothing and i think if they don't think it's a good thing you probably shouldn't buy the wrong item either unless you want to
1:14 am
incur the wrath of those who don't agree with you go of 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. but coast i was just a robot young says the situation reflects the communication across political divides to. 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 difference is that now the the barbarian at the gate to use a metaphor is
1:15 am
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 very very conservative sees the 1st of the liberal city life and the liberal city live sees the 3 of our conservative ecosystem they are on top of each other in a digital way that simply didn't exist until this moment. it's 15 past good morning from moscow this is an international with me kevin i mean this is ahead and upcoming u.n. report may suggest the u.s. private military firm illegally offered to supply weaponry to a libyan warlord. so
1:16 am
what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in his own spearing dramatic development the only move really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very
1:17 am
critical time to sit down and talk. again britain's prime minister's announced plans to ease covert restrictions with germany also sending out optimistic messages to about the end of the law but if you had reports not everyone is convinced that the time is still right for it. boris johnson the prime minister century says this time around this lockdown will absolutely be the last one and so he has announced his route out of the lock down scenario 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 extraordinary success of our religious in battle more than 70500000 people across the u.k.
1:18 am
but of course the united kingdom has been this all scale national knocked down 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 covert 19 does so the number of cases still remain very high indeed so some people are quite critical about lifting that up to measures such as 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 how the government the u.k. government is not a in is plan of lifting the lockdown measures we have to look only across the english channel to other countries across europe like germany is also lifting its lockdown measures as well even though in a very similar situation to here in britain the number of cases of covert 19 remain
1:19 am
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 this cool soup 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 and. 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 or all the rather than all the schools schools indeed contribute to straight up infection so we we have
1:20 am
to you know baby steps to make sure we do not end up where we ended up the last time and we have to be very very little and make sure that we do not draw a further when the more than fashion rates are in the community there more that is that we might have an idea when. we should you know we had an excellent job with bricks nation you know excellent job execution so we should not you know true everything that we have gained just by being a little bit impatient. still and you're a voter from snow's face is a suspended sentence for throwing projectiles at police during a paris rally by health workers but she says the message she was trying to get across is simply more important than her court case. just read a little of 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
1:21 am
treatment in public hospitals so let me give you a quick bit about growth in some footage of the readers the rest went viral a group of heavily armed riot police could be seen hurling a face into the ground before dragging her away she begged for her in the instant split opinion with some saying she provoked officers by showing them the middle finger and throwing concrete blocks in the direction others though warm such police brutality is indefensible judges are said to decide in a case in may but supporters of the nurse have already gathered at the court building in the capital calling for an end to what they call a persecution there are those 2 who want to see her punished. the rules are what we want is a sanction as sanction that will mark their reality of justice and that the feeling of impunity can no longer take place because otherwise tomorrow this situation will happen again you judged to be violent but i know that it is perfectly within the rules but it's not a matter of condoning for readers just as
1:22 am
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 reader and many others to act this way is despair it's contempt is the ransacking of public services. these destructive policies. enough of the repression enough ok we weren't trained for this 3 day reaction she had it was human i'm sorry but every human every human who feels in danger is violent to act in self defense that's it i don't condone it but i understand it. the rally should turn did called for better conditions and pay for health care workers on the front line of the pandemic a lawyer says the protestors had little choice but to take that drastic action. but 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
1:23 am
particular with an environmental macross ministration i'm talking about their actions regarding hospitals health care workers and patients during the pandemic and before it had been again. a u.n. report to be published next month expected to accuse a top us private military firm of illegally sending fighters and arms to a libyan warlord to america's alex mahal of it's next in reporting on the notorious company called blackwater which is now been renamed cademy. 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
1:24 am
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 her victory today goes beyond the issue of a standalone victory to something greater than that it has 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 the interior minister for libya's u.n. 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
1:25 am
militias on sunday bashar goes 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 that's 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 2000. 19 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
1:26 am
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 a in american centric outcome we know that the us supported violations of the arms embargo in supporting croatia back during t.-o. balkans conflict the us was at the forefront of a shift even 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 air
1:27 am
france 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. alex mileage not tame for america they're wrapping up this bulletin for now for me kevin now in that everyone here in moscow wishing you a great day. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to get out of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you there.

it's been decades since the fall of spain's fascist regime but old wounds still haven't healed and you're going to see him going into the gun the gun toting is pretty famous. for me from a dog you are. good when we suppose. to me on the bus at us is mean older than just the same question to you know cells ins of newborn babies were torn from their mothers and given away and forced adoption that only was the feast or my own role as a fellow mentor to this day mothers still search for grown children while adults look in hope for their birth parents. child's seemed wrong but all were all just all. to me a world that is yet to shape out just they become advocates and engagement
1:29 am
equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the british and american governments have often been accused of destroying lives in their own interests while you see in this these techniques is the state devising methods to him to essentially destroy personality of an individual. by scientific means this is how one doctor his theories were allegedly used in psychological warfare against prisoners deemed a danger to the state that was the foundation for the method of psychological interrogation psychological quarter of this year disseminated from within the u.s. intelligence community and worldwide among our allies for the next 30 years and the victims say they still live with the consequences today.
