in the headlines of midday moscow time israelis could now be banned from most public places and even jobs unless they've been vaccinated but the so-called green pass is a raising rights concerns already and the growth in forged documents to. choice has a consequence and it shouldn't be that everybody. because some people make a bad choice i think it's absurd i think it's ridiculous basic human rights are being ignored. rusher accuses the e.u. of meddling in its internal affairs as the bloc imposes sanctions over the jailing of the opposition figure. for parole violations.

also in the headlines today furious french farmers dumb bald tires and fertilizer from their tractors outside government buildings in the city of leer as they bring cows and sheep to protest the removal of meat from school canteen menus. and in the us brands workplaces and even families pay the price of deepening divisions despite political calls come together. good afternoon live from world news center it's kevin owen here in moscow for the next half hour with our latest for you could have a company so 1st israelis who won't get a covert job now face being banned from the job and indeed most public places to look at the new system is 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 hotels that is open but this is the closest we can go assuming you want to enter 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 lest 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 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 and so you know human rights are in more than and it's very easy to slide when you start even with the good intentions to do things like. too much government. and force money so just in plans to ban on vaccinated people from certain jobs and is won't get 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 for a job a certain documents 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 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 to encourage people to receive shots. ladies and gentlemen we are very happy to host you in the world's 1st ever vaccination bar. in my heart because. i think it's a good idea i think there are a lot of people. that are just. gravy. more people come because of kind of faith and i hope everyone will come and it will keep themselves safe.

israeli political analyst salvatore askin warns these rules raise fundamental rights concerns though and risk making the unvaccinated victims of bullying. green passport is not a good idea we should leave the people of their freedom of choice as long as they don't harm others it's really begins 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 it's his rights not to be discriminated not to be a victim of. public bully for that which it should get back to 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. moscow sees new e.u. sanctions as an attempt to interfere in russia's internal affairs the books demanding the release of the kremlin critic alexina valmy imprisoned for violating the terms of his parole. in response to events around the situation or to not only. we read your political that were given to impose. measures against those chris principle for his arrest and sentencing and persecution and at the same time we must define a moderate b. then b. to avoid to permanent confrontation with a neighbor. who are unfortunately seems to have decided to act as senator surely 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 infallibility in human rights to promote its own concept of a world order based on rules so the measures include travel bans and freezing the assets again of those involved in the van these jailing we've seen this so many times before in the past no names have yet been made public last week russia's foreign minister blamed brussels for the deterioration of moscow e.u. ties. not just 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 1st we will also be ready for it let's get the thoughts from john loglan the europe expert an academic at paris's university institute. the 10th nice to see you right so we've

seen this we've chatted about this so many times over the years in the past various different sanctions and why they've been imposed and what the thought was behind but here we go again you're hearing the e.u. saying ear they want better times better relations with moscow but at the same time we're seeing sanctions the 2 things are so far apart. yeah i mean the definition of madness is that you keep calm possibly repeating the same behavior and you get frustrated when you when you have the same results of the same behavior and that's what the european union is doing now what i find deeply distressing is that the european union has adopted this new principle of individual sanctions on the basis that it's the protector of human rights but we all just heard barel now in that clip you've just shown that burrell the european union's high representative for foreign policy saying we have taken

a political decision to impose sanctions does he not understand what he is saying a sanction is a form of punishment in this case it involves powerful bans and asset freezes but what what process has there been to permit a political decision to impose punishment a political decision to impose punishment is a death is a is a case study in violation of human the european union by taking political decisions about who to punish in russia is itself violating the most basic principles of justice you can't punish people on the basis of a political decision you know what a law or russia has a and sure to make conditions even worse for diplomacy. well that's what i meant what i said about madness you know doing the same thing it compulsively and getting the same results there were personal sanctions individual sanctions imposed on a number of russians after the annexation of crimea in 24. that

hasn't had any effect so this won't have any effect either and apart from the outrageous idea that you should be able to impose political sanctions take a political decision to impose sanctions what i find incredible is that the european union has fallen for this show rather about neville nick when i say sure i'm not just referring to the nonsense about his so-called poisoning and burning to the fact that he he himself deliberately violated his parole we all remember what happened he fell ill allegedly from poisoning but guess what he got better in about in a few days he was sitting up and smiling in hospital he could have gone back to russia then he could have gone back in a week course so instead no he decided to stay in germany for a few months because he liked it there and well there's already been he would be a there's already been reaction from the kremlin saying the pressure is interference in russia's internal affairs not overstating the case is it not at all

and again what i find just absolutely mind boggling is that the european union itself protests when the united states of america interfet its internal affairs by imposing extra territorial sanctions on european companies involved in building the north stream to gas pipeline so the european union says it doesn't want interference in its internal and. the americans but it allows itself to practice interference in the internal affairs of russians not not one item of this stands up it is all a load of rubbish john lawler believe it there you have experts saying spin off the gas on this channel thank you for a your thoughts. right now. the story from europe farmers have poured fertilizer and old tires from their tractors a government buildings in france's 2nd city to protest the removal of meat from

school canteen menus. thank you for. the agricultural workers brought cows and goats to set up many farms in protest at the city mayor's move for it is claimed scrapping meat from school meals will help in the fight against coronavirus the new health brought a cold calls for to meet a social distancing in school canteens a single meat free menu will serve students faster and streamlined meals many parents are fuming at the move warning that families for more deprived communities in particular are going to suffer though. this is what i think that unfortunately is a very political decision which could have been made with more consultation and in particular with the participation of parents for some families it is the only possibility to eat to have meat in the diet at least a few times a week off on our children are growing and we're depriving them of dietary

diversity for me it's a restriction on our freedoms i don't understand how and bees can intervene in questions of diet the way they do and if we have to respect their ideology they must respect ours so i am absolutely against it. paul refer milly's who relied on canteens on schools to provide meat in meals to children will now have no more so we can say that the mayor of leon has absolutely no solidarity with less well off residents with working class families and that worries us farmers say the decisions just the latest assault on their ability to earn a living and farming is again targeted by what a minority of french people are saying and unfortunately for us it's another blow in our heads. there's a view of the city well now because they can't impose their ideas but force in particular. school supposedly because of coronavirus. so much more to come of it is stick around this is international live from moscow with me kevin now in this is

ahead of french professors want the minister of higher education out of her attack someone she calls is a llama leftism find out what that strange sounding phrase means i'm all about.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. period dramatic developments only move. i don't see how that strategy will be very critical. to sit down. and everything from brand names to work relations even family ties and showing signs of break political divides begin to affect practically every section of society as don't court has been finding. 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 are related to you you've been bearers the kings and family name ok as 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 caused such strive daily feel like i want a divorce i'm 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 more shocked to find out i hated the tea than they were to hear i was also known as 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 if they don't think it's a good thing. you probably shouldn't buy the wrong item either unless you want to incur the wrath of those who don't agree with you going to 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. well just a robot young told us the situation in his view reflects the fact there's 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 real or than it was when we had cities that lived in liberal bubbles in 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 genius lifestyle now the person that is very very conservative sees the fringe of the liberal city life in the liberal city live sees the 3 of conservative ecosystem they are on top of each other in a digital way that simply didn't exist until this moment. top pocket demick sit around in the firing of a french minister whose claim to universities quote is

a lot more left is eating away at society stay with me here they're open letter warned that higher education minister frederick of adults relaying was to stop the teaching of many progressive ideas all together we can only deplore the indigence for a direct the doll who's using the repertoire of the far right about imaginary islam leftism just like an all been hungry both scenarios brazil will do the supposed want post-colonial and de colonial star does the work on racial discrimination gender starters and intersectionality specifically targeted islam or leftism and there's an increasingly popular term used by those who see an alliance between progressives and muslims to weaken society in october another french minister claimed islam or leftism was quote wreaking havoc on the country's higher education facilities but insisted the threat was real. i think that islam leftism is eating

away at our society as a whole and universities are not immune and a part of our society where inflammatory comments are part of what many in france see as a growing assault on muslims in the country following a raft of is the most inspired terror attacks when he found the minister's remarks unacceptable. and we have to i think the government is open least lama phobic the media all say the same the bitterness towards muslims i think it's nonsense i believe that such aggression against muslims is an over reaction and it is completely incomprehensible i have a feeling that muslims have no right to live freely in france there is a confusion between the terms extremists and the person who practices his religion peacefully so some french have this image of muslims as terrorists or extremists and it is not rate was one of assistance from the police once again we're talking about using a strategy that we have known for

a long time distraction and polemics it's exhausting it takes away my powers it makes me sick i think of course i don't like this concept i think it's the wrong word and brother won't be movement but i don't really like that confusion. but a friend sociologist told us the minister's words just the government's latest onslaught on academia. which of course the most shocking thing is that what you know is men cynicism i don't know what to call what the minister has done at a time when the academic world is i saw late at disorganized and indeed disaster in the middle of a pandemic saying this to students who are here to learn where the university to study to do research where i'm here before you tonight not because i like it but because we all suffer in the climate imposed by the government for months now. next a u.n. report due to be published next month's expected to accuse

a top us private military firm of illegally sending fighters and arms to a libyan warlord or to america's alex what color which reports next the normally the tourist company that used to be called 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 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 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 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 shootout 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 2000. a 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 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 u.n.

arms embargoes to achieve you know in american centric outcome we know that the us supported of violations of the arms embargo in supporting croatia back during geo balkans conflict the us was at the forefront of 'd 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. in
