buildings to protest against the removal of meat from school many. everything from work relations to family ties show signs of breaking down as u.s. political divides begin to affect practically every section of society. though their good afternoon just gone 2 o'clock in moscow you watching asking international that israelis who refuse to get vaccinated against could be banned from their jobs most public places but the new regulations have face to face criticism as poor reports. 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
6:02 am
assuming you want to enter it you have to have what is called a green possible it's issued off to persons received to fax summations 21 days a pos 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 unless you have a green possible but 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
6:03 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 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 says for having 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. people who put others at risk from
6:04 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 forward a certain document i wouldn't do it personally but i can completely understand this is a growing 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
6:05 am
vaccination bar. i think it's a good idea i think there are a lot of people that are just. crazy. doctor or people come because of kind of faith and i hope everyone will come to keep themselves safe. what israeli political and that is yes can also warms to the rules sting rays fundamental human rights concerns. green passport is not
6:06 am
a good idea we should leave the people their freedom of choice as long as they don't harm others it's really gets to the basic idea of freedom of choice if somebody wants to get vaccinated i mean you know 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 but it's his 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 future not to harm my harm and. my mosque i was hit back at the european union for imposing new sanctions over the jailing of the opposition activist
6:07 am
election the valley in claims that the move is an attempt to interfere in russia's internal affairs in the valley who was imprisoned for just under 3 years for breaking the terms of his parole but the e.u. is demanding his release. in response to events around us who do issue no news to not only. we reach a political will. to impose gris to give measures against those crisp principle for his suppressed and sentencing and persecution and at the same time we must define a mugger's be the end it to avoid to permanent confront they shouldn with their neighbor. who unfortunately seems to have decided to act a senator solely 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
6:08 am
infallibility of human rights to promote its own concept of a world order based on rules while the sanctions do include travel bans and freezing the assets of those involved in the valleys jailing no names have been made public he get last week russia's foreign minister though blamed brussels for the deterioration of moscow ties. got accustomed to it the framework of the relations between russia and the you has been deliberately destroyed by brussels we must be a group of 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. but we spoke to europe experts and academic john locke learned about this he believes that the e.u. itself is violating basic principles of justice. 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
6:09 am
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 being 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 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 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
6:10 am
want interference in its into. the americans but it allows itself to practice interference in the internal affairs of russians not one item of this stands up it is all a load of rubbish. that farmers have done 30 lies and all tires outside government buildings in the french city of leon they are protesting against the removal of meat from school many. thank you for. the agricultural workers also brought cows and goats to set up many farms in protest at the move by the city mayor however scrapping meat from school meals will help in the fight against corona virus. 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 while many parents are fuming at the move though warning that families from more to private
6:11 am
communities in particular or suffer. in 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 so often 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 peace can intervene in questions of diet the way they do and if we have to respect their ideology they must respect our worse so i am absolutely against that. poor families who relied on canteens all schools to provide meat in meals to children will now have no more so 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. farmers to say the decision is just the latest assault on their ability to earn
6:12 am
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. and there look. at the city well now because they can't impose their ideas workforce in particular burning me to school supposedly because of coronavirus. now everything from work relations to family ties are showing signs of a moment of breaking down as u.s. political divides begin to affect practically every section of society with more on the story his own quarter. 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 a look at what's actually going on in the streets well a different picture begins to appear.
6:13 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 are related to you you've been bearers the kings and family name ok as
6:14 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'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 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 when i had the facts and details that i met up with in the style of clothing that i think you really think it's a good thing you probably shouldn't buy the wrong item either unless you want to
6:15 am
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 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 or put a cost just in robot young to say that the situation reflects the fact that there is now more communication across political to fight 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 that now the barbarian at the gate to use
6:16 am
a metaphor is alive 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 mob 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 our conservative ecosystem they are on top of each other in a digital way that simply didn't exist until this moment. international still had both german and british governments are under attack for easing co huge restrictions while stuff facing many people in both countries too also worried that the move could actually undo the good work that's been done to hope the spread of the virus we'll have a look at the details after the break. the
6:17 am
world is driven by dream shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask. 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. you are there the relationship with russia and iran is there you know there and the relationship
6:18 am
all over africa is also there. fellow again britain's prime minister has announced plans to meet restrictions and he is also sending out optimistic messages to the end of the knock down however he . reportedly everybody is convinced the time is 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 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. success of our religious in battle more than
6:19 am
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 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 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 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 listing its
6:20 am
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 knots 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 that 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 and. fully agree in the need to get the schools open as soon as possible but maybe we should think of a staggered approach you know bring the school just see what the you know what would happen to the infection rates in the schools are open rather than opening all the schools schools indeed contribute to straight up infection so we we have
6:21 am
to teach you know baby steps to make sure we do not end up where we ended up at the last and we have to be very very vigilant make sure that we do not draw a further when the more than question rates are in the community there more that is that we might have another weird in there 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 by being a little bit impatient. now a nurse faces a suspended sentence to throwing projectiles at police during a paris rally by health workers but she does say that the message she was trying to get across is more important than her court case. just read a couple of words i am here for the difficulties that health care workers encounter and i'm here for the sick who can no longer be treated as they wish hospitals are
6:22 am
everybody's business so if we continue at this rate we won't be able to get treatment in public hospitals while in the summer of 3 days arrest when the group of have a riot police can be seen in your face into the ground before dragging her away the she begs for her inhaler the instant splits opinion with some saying that she provoked officers by showing them the middle finger and she also 3 concrete blocks in their direction but others do warn that such police brutality is indefensible or judges will decide in her case in may and it is certainly dividing public opinion at the moment supporters of the nurse gathered at the court building in the capital calling for an end to what they called her persecution but there was also there are also those who want to see a punished. the rules of what we want is a sanction sanction that will mark the reality of justice and that the feeling of impunity can no longer take place because otherwise to morrow this situation will
6:23 am
happen again you judge it 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 ritter 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 for their actions we had it was human i'm sorry but every human every human who feels in danger is barred to act in self defense that's it i don't condone it but i understand it. or the rally she tended to call for better conditions and pay for health care workers on the frontline of the pandemic and her lawyer to say to the protesters had little choice but to take drastic action.
6:24 am
we're not attempting to establish what was done but rather what the reason was for it and the reason the dreadful work over 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 that. and. now a u.n. report due to be published next month is expected to be kings the top u.s. private military firm of illegally sending fighters and arms to a libyan warlord party america's alex mail of its reports now on the notorious company called blackwater which is 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
6:25 am
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 our victory today goes beyond the issue of a stand alone a victory to something greater than that of an 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 unified the government is here's fatty bashar government of the interior minister
6:26 am
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 when erik prince blackwater's founder said foreign mercenaries and weapons to
6:27 am
support any libyan warlord khalifa haftar against the tripoli based government is 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 that 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 it is an american centric outcome we we know that the us supported violations of the arms embargo in supporting croatia back during p.-o. balkans conflict the u.s. was at the forefront of pushing featured weapons from libya to turkey and on to syrian rebels u.s. policy is a is a continuum in many cases it does you know having the united states be
6:28 am
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 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. just kind of hostage in the often here in moscow and i think you have to like the unease that so i thought and i will have more on the headlines the top of the next. one else truths seem wrong. but old roles just don't hold. the old
6:29 am
yet to shape out just becomes agitated and in detroit because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. it's been decades since the fall of spain's fascist regime but old wounds still haven't healed. and that's. because for me from. the bottom is a poet said to me on the bus at the system you know to that i wish that they think . of newborn babies were torn from their mothers and given away and forced adoption . yet. to this day mothers still search for grown children while look in hope for their parents.
6:30 am
greetings and salutations welcome to 2020 season 2 or 2022 k one if you're a video game player. yes it appears that 2021 is looking to build on the roller coaster of tragedy and brutal strangeness of 2020 with a host of new plot twists and dellums and one of those elements is wonder storm yuri who decimated a majority of united states last week most notably in the great state of texas where freezing rain snow and frozen temperatures expose the citizens.
