headlining this hour russia slams the u.s. for undermining free trade unfair competition after washington boasts about european companies pulling out of the north stream to pipeline project in the face of u.s. sanctions. also ahead us democrats to ban cable and satellite providers justify hosting right wing media outlets a move republicans say is an attack on freedom of speech. israelis face being banned from public places and even their jobs unless they've been vaccinated against covert 19 of the so-called green passes or raising concerns over human rights. always a choice has a consequence and it shouldn't be that everybody suffers 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.
12:01 pm
and i agree french farmers dumb fertilizer and old tires outside government buildings to protest against the removal of meat from school dinner menu. either choose to die today here in moscow my name's colleen bray welcome to your world views for a martini international 1st new for you this hour russia's accusing washington of undermining free trade and putting its geopolitical interests above fair competition itself to reports on u.s. sanctions against the north stream to gas pipeline project revealed that a total of 18 european companies have dropped out due to u.s. pressure across this force is correspondent you. take us through moscow's reaction well essentially calling the united states they have been from the very good. go
12:02 pm
they have been a hell bent on dealing this nordstrom to project a very ambitious project to and basically the u.s. state department the have submitted a report to the congress kind of world going through and detailing the measures that this body has taken to well stop this to prevent nord stream to from happening to prevent it from coming to fruition and that world this report which is not available to the public. it comes against the backdrop of criticism that the biden administration has been facing over what the critics are calling a lack of action or rather inaction when it comes to stopping nord stream too and so essentially in that that report it comes. after an added layer of sanctions on the russian companies involved in this involved in nordstrom too and so basically this report is not available to the public just yet but no price
12:03 pm
a spokesman for the state department he revealed that during the long course of the state department's work the total of 18 companies have decided to pull out to cut ties with with north stream 2 but because why they did that is effectively the united states so far they have been sanctioning they've only been sanctioning the russians but this threat of sanctions have been hanging over the european partners so effectively they've been scared out of this project kind of bullied out of it and when it comes to moscow moscow has always been saying that this thing that north stream too is something that none of america's business and something strictly between russia and europe and germany in particular because that's where the pipe is going is heading right now and the reaction to this report has been more or less the same the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman marie as a horror of our she said that basically it's part of america's geopolitical warfare . the u.s.
12:04 pm
state department has acknowledged that america is undermining the principles of free trade and competition subjugating market laws to its own geopolitical interests and acting inspired of the will of so ever nations but there's an added layer of irony to this story because remember how they said that well 18 companies have decided to cut ties with north stream to write and the way this information was delivered to the media by ned price the spokesman for the state department one might you might be misled into thinking that all of that was achieved under the under the biden administration which turns out is not the case and it only came to light when price was confronted by a peace matley over the issue have a listen to. strategy including the legislative strategy of the strategy of course congress is has been behind has been working to good effect the genuineness of the plane credit for the companies winding down all of this work was done of the
12:05 pm
previous administration and out of all the been months mabyn all the been in office for a month right are you telling me that i am well we use these 18 thought that is all the sort of all why they are you going to not know anything when i am speaking for it. guys or to in credit for stuff that that man is administrator i am not no i also being for the department of state ok the people who have been working miss ok are the people who are working this now where the same people a month ago or the same people 3 months ago 3 months ago so i. so essentially what happened there could easily be interpreted as the state department kind of trying and taking credit for what was achieved when donald trump was still president here world net price effectively confirming just that and again quite ironically because this is something that happened with the trumpet ministration at the very start of his presidency when basically the democrat leaning media they
12:06 pm
were just trying to pin all successes of his administration on the legacy of obama and his cabinet and so on and so forth but basically now this is this all is revolving now around the nordstrom to project which is by the way 97 percent complete so out of about $1200.00 of 1200 kilometers of the pipeline only a few dozen kilometers of this pipeline is left to world to be laid on the seabed and now with germany being world very interested in adamantly saying that the have a focus on finishing this project it kind of pitches the united states against germany in this whole in this whole scenario so we'll see who comes out who comes out victorious in this even at this late stage just before looking the on switch or a thanks for that. next us democrats are calling on cable and satellite t.v. providers to justify hosting channels labeled by them spreading this information
12:07 pm
some to pollute to news outlets longer than this information rumor mill some conspiracy theory hold but that produce can't and that leads to real harm to our knowledge the cable satellite and over the top companies that disseminate these media outlets to american viewers have done nothing in response to misinformation. among the channels mentioned of fox news the one america news network and news max the allegations are made over coverage of the 2020 presidential elections and the coronavirus pandemic republicans on their part condemn the democrats for attacking free speech. the democrats are sending a message that is as clear as it is troubling these regulated entities will pay a price if the targeted newsrooms do not conform to democrats preferred political narratives this is a chilling transgression of the free speech rights that every media outlet in this
12:08 pm
country enjoys on r.t. last hour legal or media analysts lying or claim that it's nonsense and it's not up to the democrats to decides what should be broadcast since when is this a cunt shirted who like. what if they say something bad thrower to live with it. there's always something wrong who says it's wrong who says it's misinformation that is trying new or a spouse or a partner or a lover or relative if they said listen i want to talk to you as he knelt i don't want to talk to you why because you spout misinformation when you listen to that so why the name of god do we put up with this nonsense we are looking at it complete and total disintegration of the 1st amendment and freedom of speech because now we're saying oh no no no we want you to speak we just don't want to hear misinformation disinformation dad information conspiracy theories
12:09 pm
unfounded who decides that since one is that a disqualifier and the dissemination of information my god i'm telling you right now you're not going to believe this but i hope bet you somewhere some place somebody might think that what you and i are saying. is to send for me should surely be to shut us down if you don't like it go someplace else or clarify it this is the most frightening i have ever seen after. well perhaps some of the fallout from all this a bit later in the program everything from work relations to family ties are feeling the strain as us political divides and practically every part of society will get on with out a bit later in the birth of a positive for the. next though israelis who refuse to get vaccinated against covert could be banned from jobs and most public places but the new regulations are
12:10 pm
facing fierce criticism in our 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 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 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
12:11 pm
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 jerusalem plans to ban on vaccinated people from certain jobs and as well meant that anyone found forging vaccine certificates will be jailed a black market for counterfeit certificates for having on telegram we already
12:12 pm
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 is 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 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
12:13 pm
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. thank you thank you 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 move lazy. thank. you. for putting up more people come because of kind of faith and i hope everyone will
12:14 pm
come and will keep themselves safe. thank you. thank you thank you. i always spoke about the new measures with the israeli political analyst at the door asking me who also warns that they breach fundamental freedoms. green passport is not a good idea we should leave the people and 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 it's a good idea to do it i did and the most of my family members also but if someone chooses not to do many it's his rights not to be discriminated not to be a victim of. public bullying for that which it should get back on normal lives keeping
12:15 pm
in mind there are certain groups of people whose house should be especially protected and not to harm everybody not to harm our children not to harm our future not to harm my common. french farmers have done 1st allies or the old tires outside government buildings in the city of over the removal of meat from school many as. they also broader cows and goats to set up many farms in protest of the move by the city's mayor however the authorities claim that scrapping meat from school males will actually help in the fight against the coronavirus. the new health protocol cools what to me to social distancing in school canteens a single meat free menu will serve students faster and streamlined meals many parents are fuming at the move warning that families from more deprived communities in particular are going to suffer. so you see in this is i think that unfortunately
12:16 pm
it's a very political decision which could have been made with more consultation and in particular with the participation of parents for some families it is the only possibility to eat to have meat in their diet at least a few times a week off. and we're depriving them of dietary diversity from 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 ours so i am absolutely against it. poor families who relied on canteens on schools to provide meat in meals to children will now have no more so we can say that the mayor of leone has absolutely no solidarity with less well off residents with working class families and that worries us and for the farmers they say the decision is just the latest assault on their ability to living and farming is again targeted by what
12:17 pm
a minority of french people are saying and unfortunately for us it's another blow in our heads. we're at the city hall now because they can't impose their ideas workforce in particular burning meat in schools supposedly because of coronavirus. hundreds of top academics have signed an open letter demanding that a french minister quit of the she called for an investigation into so-called islamic leftism in education the terms become increasingly popular way to describe it alliance between progressives and muslims that believe we can society i think that islam leftism is eating away dollars society as a whole and universities are not immune and society. also highlighted that the investigation aim to determine the difference between academic research and militant activism in 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
12:18 pm
schools in october another french minister claimed islam or leftism was wreaking havoc on the country's higher education facilities we asked people in paris what they thought about the proposed inquiry. and more. we have to i think the government is open least lama folded 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 serbs 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 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
12:19 pm
makes me sick if you. don't like this concert i think it's the wrong word and by the growing movement but i don't really like that confusion. but one of the 600 academics who backed the open letter told us that the minister's outburst is just the government's latest oms lot 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 are not a mostly thing that she must understand the consequences of such her positions and of her actions during 4 years all the loss of project were aimed at limiting higher education france 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
12:20 pm
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 . everything from work relations to family tell you said the united states is feeling the strain as a result of the country's growing political divisions taking a closer look has done a quarter. if you take joe biden's words 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.
12:21 pm
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 bearish the kings and family name ok as a politician his family cannot get around political talk at the dinner table but divorces parents disowning their children this is happening in ordinary american families it's tough my husband's trumper has such strive daily feel like i want
12:22 pm
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 i woulda had but i had stated that i made in the style of clothing that i think everything they say it is that 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 your 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
12:23 pm
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. politics podcast adjusted robert young says the situation might reflect the fact that there's 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 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
12:24 pm

wrong but old rules just don't hold. any. get to shape out just they become educated and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race in a. very dramatic development only closely and. i don't see how. very critical time to sit down and talk. we're more politicized than ever or more polarized than ever the 21st century when
