the dearest thing. we dare to ask. the headlines an hour to the israelis face being banned from public places in the even their jobs unless they've been vaccinated against 19 but the so-called green passes are raising concerns over human rights. choices at the consequence that it shouldn't be that everybody. because some people make a bad choice i think it's absurd that think it's ridiculous basic human rights will be ignored pressure accuses the e.u. of meddling in its internal affairs is the block imposes sanctions over the jailing of the opposition figure alexina valmy for parole violations also to come.

angry french farmers 1st allies or an old. government buildings to protest against the removal of meat from school menus and everything from work relations to family ties appear to be showing signs of breaking down as u.s. political divides begin to affect practically every section of society. well i welcome you watching r.t. international worse just gone 5 o'clock here in the russian capital that was released who refused to get vaccinated against it could be banned from their jobs a most public places but the new regulations have faced fierce criticism as poor slip reports. this is high a corn 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 coast as we can go assuming you want to enter it you have to have what is called a green possible it's issued off to persons received 2 facts 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 and least 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

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 even 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 foresman so juiced in 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 describing on telegram we 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 in for a job a certain document i wouldn't do it personally but i can completely understand this is a growing very thing that the way it was so this gobies 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 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 thank you ladies and gentlemen we are very happy to

host you in the world's 1st ever thank you nation bar. thank you thank you. thank. you thank you i think it's a good idea i think there are a lot of people that are just. lazy. thank. you thank you. for putting up more people come because of kind of faith and i hope everyone will come and will keep themselves safe. thank you. but we spoke about new measures with the israeli political analyst yes again he

also warns that they do breach fundamental freedoms. 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 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 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 boot 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 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 that the moves in the attempt to interfere in russia's internal affairs valmy was imprisoned for just under 3 years after breaking the terms of his parole but he missed demanding his release. in response. to revenge around as you do ational wish to not only. we reach a political agreement to impose grist to give 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 unfortunately seems to have decided to act as an atrocity 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 human rights to promote its own concept of a world order based on rules or the sanctions do include travel bans and freezing the assets of those involved in the valleys jailing although no name to be made public yet last week russia's foreign minister blamed brussels for the deterioration of moscow ties. got a class of it 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 experts and academic john locke and about this he does believe 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 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

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 one item of this stands up it is all a load of rubbish. farmers have done and old tires that sigh government buildings in the french city they are protesting against the removal of meat from school many. thank you for. what they also brought with them cows and goats to set up many farms in protests move by the sitting there however the authorities clue you claim that scrapping meat from school meals will actually help in the fight against coronavirus. then you 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 for many parents are fuming at the move a warning that families for more deprived 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 bees can intervene in questions of diet the way they do and if we have to respect their ideology they must respect 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. meanwhile pharma say that the decision is just the latest méribel it 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. and there look. at the city well now because they can't impose their ideas workforce in particular burning meat in schools supposedly because of coronavirus. that everything from work relations to family ties in the united states seem to be feeling this strain as a result of growing political divisions in the country taking a closer look at this story his on court. 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 bearers the kings and 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 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 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

a man in the style of clothing and i think they 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. so that will the podcast just and youngest situation could actually reflect the fact that there is now more communication across political defines. 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 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 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 our conservative ecosystem they are on top of each other in a digital way that simply didn't exist until this moment. that he saffron professes want the minister of higher education after her course to draw a clear line between academic research activism and the pain the end and universities will have the details on this in

a couple of them. join me every thursday on the alex salmond short and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. 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 peer you are there the relationship with russia and iran is there you know other than the relationship all over africa is also there. when almost seemed wrong. just don't hold. any

belief yet to shape out this day. and engagement because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. follow again you without international now hundreds of tall academics have signed an open letter demanding that a french minister quits after she called for an investigation into so-called islamic leftism in education the term has become an increasingly popular way to describe an alliance between progressives muslims that some believe we can society . i think that islam leftism is eating away dollars society as a whole and universities are not immune and

a part of our society she also highlighted that the investigation aim to determine the difference between academic research and militant activism and opinion in universities the minister's remarks come on the back of legislation that critics say is anti islamic including a new law against radicalism that allows greater oversight of mosques and religious schools in october another french minister claimed islam i left ism is wreaking havoc on the country's higher education facilities but we asked people in paris what they thought about the proposed inquiry. more. we have to i think the government is open least one month old because 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 comprehensible 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 serious or extremist and it is not great. 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 to school 3rd row i don't want this concert i think it's the wrong word and by the wrong movement but i don't really like that confusion. but what we heard from one of the 600 academics who backed the open letter and she told us that ministers ministers outburst is just the government's latest onslaught on academia . don't view. this as for those who signed the letter there were over 600 at the beginning now there are over 13000 from the university sphere who demand the mr quits because we know mostly thing that she must understand the consequences of

such her positions and of her actions during for years all the loss of project were aimed at limiting higher education grants i think the students have the right to choose theories to study at university i'm teaching the theory of colonialism the theory of young the theory of intersexuality and to have a group of students who are absolutely capable of recessing all the information they're given and if understanding it they are also capable of seeing the reasonable things in regards to life in france particularly in regards of the phenomena of structural racism or the phenomena of discrimination are sexism this theories are very useful and there is no need at all to regulate any of these areas . because the news now in crowds have rallied in georgia in the caucasus region after the rest of the opposition m.p. camillia his detention comes hours after parliament named a new prime minister is pretty surprised melis arrest over phase of the political crisis of the am paying who's the leader of the united national movement is accused

of inciting violence dating back to protests in 2019 back then he was released on bail but had to wear a tracking bracelet as well in november he refused to wear the device and bail was increased by $12000.00 and he refused to pay. another world news the killing of a 16 year old protester has sparked protests in the mind maher city of young gone demonstrators there were repeatedly stepping on a photo of a sniper who allegedly shot the protester. later on saturday police opened fire on demonstrators in mandalay killing 2 people and injuring more than 20. and italy's mount etna continues to erupt this monday night fide lover. a kilometer sorry into the air with smoke plume rising high sea it's the peak of europe's most active volcano eruption also spewed out the lava flows however now evacuation

alerts have been issued this is the volcano is faith eruption over the past week. a u.n. report due to be published next month is expected to accuse the top u.s. private military of illegally sending fighters and arms to the libyan warlord lottie's america's alec's mail of its reports now in the notorious company called blackwater which has 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 violations 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 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 erik 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. and that wraps up the news that facade here not international thanks me company today i would have morphine shortly in about 730 minutes time. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being
