5:04 am
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 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 document i wouldn't do it personally but i can completely understand this is a crime i think that the waivers so do is go please or make them or buy them should be punished vaccine has a 10 c. and skepticism have become a growing concern in recent weeks as israel's a 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

5:06 am
so israeli political analysts are big to ask in warning though that these rules raise from the mental rights concerns and they risk making the unvaccinated victims of bullying. green passport is not a good idea we should leave the people their freedom of choice as long as they don't harm others it's really ganster 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's his right not to be discriminated not to be a victim of. public bullies 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. moscow sees new e.u. sanctions as an attempt to interfere in russia's internal affairs the blocks demanding the release of kremlin critic alexina valmy imprisoned for violating the terms of his parole. in response to events around as you do is to not only. we read to your political that we're going to impose grist to give measures against those crisp principle for hits of rest and sentencing and prosecution and at the same time we must define a mugger would be then deed to avoid to permanent confrontation with a neighbor. who are unfortunately seems to have decided to act and senator surely in international practice this is called interference into the internal
5:08 am
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 human rights to promote its own concept of a world order based on rules of the americas include travel bans and freezing the assets of those involved in the these jailing no names have yet been made public last week russia's foreign minister blamed brussels for the deterioration of moscow we tolerate got accustomed to 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 1st we will also be ready for it. just last hour i spoke to europe expert and academic john la clint who believes the e.u. itself is violating basic principles of justice here. what i find deeply distressing is that the european union has adopted this new principle of individual
5:09 am
sanctions on the basis that it's the protector of human rights but we all just heard barel 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 all bans and asset freezes but what what process has there been to commit 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 back 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 what i find just absolutely mind boggling is that the european union itself protests when the united states of america interfet its internal
5:10 am
affairs by imposing extra territorial sanctions on european companies involved in building the north stream to gas pipelines so the european union says it doesn't want interference in its into. 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. farmers a dump fertilizer and all tires outside government buildings in france's 2nd city to protest the removal of meat from school canteen menus. there are cultural workers balk and go to set up many farms in protest of the city mayor's move but authorities claim scrapping made from school meals will help in the fight against corona virus. then you health prata cold calls for to meet
5:11 am
a social distancing in school canteens a single meat free menu will serve students faster and streamlined meals. while many parents are fuming at the move warning that families from more deprived communities in particular are going to suffer here because of it. you see in this is i think that unfortunately it's 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 their diet at least a few times a week and also 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 in peace 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. poor families who relied on canteens on schools to provide meat in meals to children will now have no more so
5:12 am
we can say that the mayor of new york has absolutely no solidarity with less well off residents with working class families and that worries us. if i was so the decisions just the latest to solve the 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. they look. at the city well now because they can't impose their ideas birth force in particular burning meat in schools supposedly because of coronavirus of. everything from brand names to work relations even family ties and showing signs of breakdown as u.s. political divides begin to affect practically every section of society down or quarter reports next. 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 it's not nearly as divided as we make it out to be but if you take
5:13 am
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
5:14 am
it is now most embarrassing to us that we are related to you you've been bearish 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 cost 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 hate to d.t. 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 family over politics it has. you could 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 i would say but that's
5:15 am
a key to the men in the front because the style of clothing that i think 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 go a food for example is now being boycotted just because the boss praised donald trump so fora 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 says the situation reflects 2 the fact there's no communication in his view across political divide. i honestly think that it has to do with the fact that we
5:16 am
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 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 homogenously lifestyle now the person that is is very very conservative sees the 3 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. ahead both the german and british governments are under tight freezing covert restrictions people in both countries worries these moves could reverse the improvements that have been so hard to get to the situation with
5:17 am
a pandemic we got more on but the rest the news. says this is really the beginning of the changing of the guard you know we're now handing the baton off to china as the number one economy in the 21st century the numbers are there the statistics are there the relationships in your here are there the relationship with russia and iran is there you know there and the relationship all over africa is also there. when almost seemed wrong why don't we all just don't call. me. yet to ship out to stay active. and engaged equals betrayal.
5:18 am
when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. join me every thursday on the alex simon shore and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. again so britain's prime minister's announced plans to easing covert restrictions with germany also sending out up to mystic messages to about the end of the lockdown but it shudders daschle reports next not everyone is convinced that the time is yet ripe for it. 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 lockdown saying and describing as
5:19 am
a one way road to freedom we're able to take the steps 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 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
5:20 am
government the u.k. government is not a minute to 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 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 soap and when it becomes clear the infection risk is rising considerably the regions that are now opening the cerise 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 as. green we need to get the schools open as soon as possible but maybe we should think of
5:21 am
a staggered approach you know bring 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 all the schools schools indeed contribute to the straight up infection so we we have 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 vigilant make sure that we do not draw a line for there when it's more than fashion rates are in the community there are more there is that we might have an idea when. we should you know we had an excellent job with bricks nation excellent job it's an issue so we should not you know true everything that we have just by being a little bit impatient. a nurse faces 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 more important than a court case. to speed up the work i am here for the difficulties that health care
5:22 am
workers encounter and i'm here for the sick can no longer be treated as they wish hospitals are everybody's business so if we continue at this rate you won't be able to get treatment in public hospitals in the summer footage of reader's arrest where viral group of heavily armed police could be seen hurling a face into the ground before the dragon or away she begged for. the distance split opinion with some saying she provoked officers by showing them the middle finger and throwing concrete blocks in their direction others warn those such police brutality is indefensible well anyway judges are going to decide their case in may it certainly divided public opinion to supporters of the nurse have gathered at the court building in the capital calling for an end to what they call a persecution there are also those who want to see a punished. the rules of what we want is a sanction sanction that will mark their reality of justice and that the feeling of
5:23 am
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 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 of us 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 she attended called for better conditions and pay
5:24 am
for health care workers on the front line of the pandemic her lawyer says the protestors are little choice but to take drastic action. we're not attempting to establish what was done but rather what the reason was it and the reason that the dreadful work over changing members of the government in particular with the ransom illustration i'm talking about their actions regarding hospitals health care workers and patients during the pandemic and before the again you got the. next a un report you to be published next month expected to accuse a top u.s. private military firm of illegally sending fighters in arms to the libyan warlord to america's alex file of its reports than on the tourist company called blackwater which 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
5:25 am
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 have been a. 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 can 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
5:26 am
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 2000. a 19 the infamous u.s. security firm blackwater violated the united nations arms embargo on libya twice
5:27 am
what erik prince blackwater founder said foreign mercenaries and weapons to support and libyan warlord khalifa haftar against the tripoli based government even 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 a in american centric outcome we 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 shifting weapons from libya to turkey and on to syrian rebels u.s.
5:28 am
policy is it is a continuum in many cases it does 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 is possibilities means that the u.s. had turned a blind eye to them. part of our team and our team in america wrapping up this bulletin and that's what we're talking about today if you want to find out so much more check out our t. dot com already have a socials it's going to it's 29 minutes past the hour thanks for watching out international and have a great rest of the day. the
