the headlines in r.t. israelis face being banned from public places and even jobs unless they've been vaccinated for the so-called green passes or raising concerns over human rights. always a choice has a consequence and it shouldn't be that everybody. because some people make a bad choice i think it's sort of i think it's ridiculous basic human rights all been ignored buel brochure accuses you of meddling in its internal affairs is the block imposes sanctions over the jailing of opposition figure alexina valmy for parole violations but also to come this out. thanks to an. angry french farmers 1st allies and old ties outside government buildings to protest against the removal of meat from school

menus and 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. fellow though she's gone 3 o'clock here in moscow you're watching r.t. international that israelis who refuse to get vaccinated against code could be banned from their jobs and most public places but the new regulations have faced criticism as poor sleep reports. this is why a cohen 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 post this we can go assuming you want to into it you have to have what is called a green possible it's issued off to persons received to fax 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 jim shopping same to synagogues in fact you won't be able to go just about anywhere in israel unless 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 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 as won't get anyone found forging vaccine certificates will be jailed a black market for counterfeit certificates says for having on telegram we already 100000 uses have joined groups. 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 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 do this go please 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 a world leading inoculation program slows down just under 2000000 israelis have not received either off the tee 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 home. i think it's a good idea i think there are a lot of people that are just as. lazy. or what people come because of kind of for me and i hope everyone will come to give themselves to you. but we spoke about the new measures in green passport these writing political analysts i think the skin he also wants to think that they bridge fundamental

freedoms. green passport is not a good idea we should leave that people and their freedom of choice as long as they don't harm others it's really gets to know the basic idea of freedom of choice if somebody wants to get vaccinated i mean 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 by harm and. that moscow has hit back

at the european union for imposing new sanctions over the jailing of the opposition activists alexina valmy claims the moon is in an attempt to interfere in russia's internal affairs when the family 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 as you do a should move to another alley. we read to your political that we're going to impose grist to give measures against those chris principle for his suppressed and sentencing and put a question and at the same time we must define a moderate be then did to avoid to permanent confront they shouldn't with a neighbor. call 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 the measures include travel bans and freezing the assets of those involved in the bounty jailing although the names have been made public yet last week russia's foreign minister playing to brussels for the deterioration of moscow it's. got a class of 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. what we spoke to europe expert and academic john locke and about this and 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 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 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

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 affairs of 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 have done fertilizer and tires and side government buildings in the french they are protesting against the removal of maint from school many. thank you for. what they also brought cows and goats to set up many farms and protests at the move by the city mayor however the authorities do claim scrapping meat from school meals will help in the fight against the 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 over fuming at the move forming their families for more deprived communities in particular will 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 worst so 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. while farmers save

decision is 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. but there look. at the city hall now because they can't impose their ideas workforce in particular burning meat in schools supposedly because of coronavirus. but everything from work relations to family ties are showing signs apparently of breaking down as u.s. political divides begin to affect effects practically every section of society taking a closer look is on 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. 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 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 family over politics it. but 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 a key to the men in the front with

a 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 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. podcast who's just an robot young to say that the situation refracts the fact that there is now 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 difference is

that now the the barbarian at the gate to use 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 asked to lead the german i am british governments are under attack for easing to be prescription but whilst pleasing many people in both countries are also worrying that the move could undo the good work that's being done to halt the spread of the

fire and still have a look at this just off the bright. seemed wrong. just don't. let me. get to shape out. active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person those.

who dares thinks. we dare to ask. it again now britain's prime minister has announced plans to ease restrictions and is also sending out op to mystic messages to you about the end of the lockdown however shadi admits to reports not 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 lockdown

saying and describing as a one way road to freedom we're able to take the steps this is the resolve of the british public extraordinary 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 a measure 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 now the

government the u.k. government is not a land 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 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 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 as. green we 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 or all the rather than all the schools schools indeed contribute to 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 look for there when it's more than fashion rates are in the community there are more there is than we might have and there will be and and we should you know we had an excellent job with bricks nation excellent job of execution so we should not you know through everything that we have given just by being a little bit impatient. now a nurse faces a suspended sentence for throwing projectiles at police during a parish rally by health workers but he does say that the message she was trying to get across is more important than her court case. peter ford i am here for the

difficulties that health care workers encounter and i'm here for the city can no longer be treated as they wish hospitals are everybody's business so if we continue at this rate we won't be able to get treatment in public hospitals in the summer 43 days arrest went viral her group of heavily armed riot police can be seen slamming her face into the ground before dragging her away as she begged for her inhaler the incident has split opinion with some saying that she's 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 judges will decide on her case in may and it is certainly dividing public opinion supporters of the nurse gathered at the court building in the capital calling for an end to what they call her persecution but there are also those who want to see her punished. also since what

we want is a sanction as sanction that will moorcock the reality of justice and that that feeling of impunity can no longer take place because otherwise to morrow 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 others to act this way is despair it's contempt is the ransacking of public services so it's these destructive policies. enough of the repression enough ok we weren't trained for this for their actions you had it was human i'm sorry but every human every human who feels in danger to act in self-defense that's it i don't condone it

but i understand it. the rally she attended to call for better conditions and pay for health care workers on the front line of the pandemic and lloyd does say that the protesters had little choice but to take drastic action. we're not attempting to establish what was done but rather what the reason was for it and the reason that the dreadful work of changing members of the government in particular with an environmental macross ministration i'm talking about the actions regarding hospitals health care workers and patients during the pandemic and before the again you young. un report you to be published next month is expected to accuse the top u.s. private military of illegally sending fighters and arms to a libyan warlord r.t. america's alec's mail of its reports now on the notorious company called blackwater which is since been renamed academy. it's been called

a hit and run military campaign in 2011 a nato led regime change operation helped dismantle libya's government leading to the brutal killing of the country's leader moammar gadhafi after that many say the country was abandoned by the western military coalition dividing libya and leading to a civil war between 2 factions both declaring themselves the legitimate government of the nation but 2 groups use local militias and foreign powers to their advantage of perpetuating the chaos in libya however earlier this month in geneva a un brokered compromise saw the political rivals agree to form an interim government which includes representation from both sides have been a. 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 appears fatty bashaw got and 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 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 what erik prince blackwater's founder said foreign mercenaries and weapons to support 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 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 t.-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 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 air 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 possibilities means that the u.s. had turned a blind eye to them. and that brings up tonight with the uneasy safe today or not international time to get them we've got a website for that story staying on you can find that as ever i don't.
