headlines in our to israelis face being banned from public places in the even their jobs unless they've been vaccinated against code 19 but the so-called green passes are raising concerns over human rights always that choice has a consequence and it shouldn't be that everybody but it's because some people make a bad choice i think it's a sort of i think it's ridiculous basic human rights are being ignored here russia accuses the u.s. 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 this hour. angry french farmers dumb lies and old tires outside government buildings to

protest against the removal of meat from school menus and everything from work relations to family ties to feel the strain it seems as u.s. political divides begin to affect practically every section of society. on 6 o'clock in the moscow you're watching r.t. international now our top story tonight israelis who refuse to get vaccinated against could be banned from their jobs most public places but the new regulations have faced criticism as poor sleep reports this is higher 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 choice 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 past. it's issued off to persons received to fax summations $21.00 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 so 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 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 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 is for having on telegram we already 100000 uses have joined groups that promote forgeries i think that the government should not 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 is 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 growing i think that the waivers so do this go please or make them or buy them should be punished tech scene 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 thank you ladies and gentlemen we are very happy to

host you in the world's 1st ever thank you nation. thank you thank you. thank you thank you thank. you i did say i think there are a lot of people that are just. gravy. 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. thank you. thank you. but we spoke about the new measures that everything is right the political analyst victor askin he also warns that they didn't 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 begins to. basic idea of freedom of choice if somebody wants to get facts 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 says right not to be discriminated not to be a victim of. public belief which it should get back on moma lives keeping in mind there are certain groups of people whose house should be especially protected. and not our everybody not 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 valley in claims the move is an attempt to interfere in russia's internal affairs the valley was imprisoned for just under 3 years after breaking the terms of his parole but the e.u. is demanding his release. in response to events around us who do ation of wish to not only. we reach a political ribbon to impose to give measures against those crisp principle for hits of arrest and sentencing and persecution and at the same time we must define a more good be then did to avoid to permanent go through an asian with a neighbor. who are unfortunately seems to have decided to act and senator shelby 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 the sanctions include travel bans and freezing. assets of those involved in the families jailing of the no names have been made public yet last week russia's foreign minister claimed brussels they for the deterioration of moscow types got accustomed to the framework of the relations between russia and the u. 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 burst we will also be ready for. what we spoke here of experts in the academic john locke learned about this and he police and 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 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. that farmers have dumped 30 and old tires at side government buildings in the french they are protesting against the removal of mates from school many. thank. you but they also brought cows and goats with them and set up a mini farm in protest of the move by the city mayor however the authorities do claim that scrapping meat from school meals will actually 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 however many parents they were fuming at this move forming 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 off on our children are growing and we're depriving them of dietary diversity from 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 our worse so i'm 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 say

that the 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. the city will 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 the strain as a result of growing political divisions in the country taking a closer look at the situation has drawn 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 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 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 in 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 that went ahead but that's the thing that i made in the style of clothing that i think everything you say that is the things

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 praise 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 those don't cool will cast just enough that young to say that the situation could actually reflect the fact there is no communication across political to. 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 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 genus lifestyle now the person that is very very conservative sees the 1st 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 had this french professes when the minister of higher education i should draw a clear line between academic research activism and opinion in universities one of the details on the story puts on the state and

a couple of things. welcome

back hundreds of top 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 well the term has become an increasingly popular way to describe an alliance between progressives and muslims that some believe we can society i think that islam and leftism is eating away dollars society as a whole and universities are not immune and up to sightsee she also highlighted that the investigation and to determine the difference between academic research of 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 islamic leftism was wreaking havoc on the country's higher education facilities but we asked people in paris what they thought about the proposed inquiry. but you know. 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 overreaction 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 extremist 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. on 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 read both course that i don't like this concept i think it's the wrong word and by the want to be movement but i don't really like that confusion. we heard from one of the 600 academics who backed the open letter she told us that the minister's outburst is just the government's latest onslaught on academia. 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 and projects 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're 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 this area's. by crowds have rallied in georgia in the caucasus region after the arrest of the opposition m.p. . his attention does come hours after parliament named a new prime minister his predecessor opposed many years arrest of the political crisis pay union leader of the hugh $900.00 national movement that was accused of inciting violence dating back to protests in 2019 back then he was released on bail but house where the truckie place this will go in november is the fuse to where the device was increased by $12000.00 although he refused to pay. in other world news tonight the killing of a 16 year old protester sparked further rallies in the mine maher city of young demonstrators were replaced and stepping on a photo of

a sniper who allegedly shot the boy last saturday police opened fire on antique demonstrators in mandalay killing 2 and injuring more than 20. and italy's mount etna continues to erupt his 5 kilometer into the air and the huge prima's smoke hangs above the peak of europe's most active volcano eruption also. flows although local authorities did say that there is no need. it is the 5th time that has erupted in the last 7. now a u.n. report due to be published next month is expected to accuse the top u.s. private military firm of illegally sending fighters and arms to the libyan warlord party america's live it reports now on the notorious 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 a treaty you know it is an american centric outcome 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 shifty 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 their presence 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. and that brings you up to date that sneeze that finance here not international just coming up to hamas takes a mosque i would have no feeling at the top of the.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

greetings and salutations welcome to 2020 season 2 or 2022 k one of your video game player. yes it appears the 2021 is looking to build on the roller coaster of tragedy and brutal strangeness of 2020 with a host of new plot twists and villains and one of those villains is wonder storm yury 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 of the lone star state to the grim meat hook reality of u.s.

infrastructure you see in texas a staggering mix of deregulation hubris and greed combined with mother nature's freezing temperatures led to the large scale failure of the state's power grid strain gas fired nuclear power plants and frozen wind turbines left more than $4000000.00 without power in the storm's immediate aftermath including some who had been in the dark for more than 24 hours and now with pipes still bursting water gushing power fluctuating and more than 50 to 70 dead and counting many citizens of texas are now facing true insult to injury no i'm not talking about their political leaders from senators to mayors ducking out to old can coon or declaring that texans need to stop asking for booze handouts like well you know running water or electricity no i'm talking about that most american of insults receiving a bill for your tragedy yes the new york times vox and others are now reporting

that quote some texans have been hit with power bills totaling as much as $17000.00 for only a few days of electricity. but thankfully while the people of texas in the rest of the united states were desperately trying to stay warm one news organization was there to keep them informed with one of the most important political news stories and facts of our day president joe biden's dog take it away greg kelly of newsmax did you see the dog let's get i want to show you something i noticed there's the look a little a little rough i love dogs but this dog needs a bath and a comb and all kinds of love and care i've never seen a dog in the white house like this i remember buddy i remember millie i remember lots of dogs but not a dog who seems don't know i don't know how much love and kerry is getting let's bring in the historic.
