for grown children well you know hope for the best parents. russia slams the u.s. for undermining free trade and 5 competition off the washington post about european companies putting out of the nordstrom to pipeline project in the face of u.s. sanctions. u.s. democrats demand cable and satellite providers justified hosting right wing media outlets move republican say is an attack on the freedom of speech. is raised face being found from public places and even job unless they've been fascinated against coke 19 by the so-called green pulses all raising concerns over human rights. always a choice has a consequence and it shouldn't be that everybody in israel suffers because some people make a bad choice but think it's up so they think it's ridiculous basic human rights.
9:01 pm
ignored. angry french farmers don't flock to lies or an old tires outside government buildings to protest against the removal of meat from school menus. to bring you news this is all it international as always thanks for stopping by. while stopping us off this hour russia's accusing washington of undermining free trade and putting it to do political interests above competition on soft to report on u.s. sanctions against the nordstrom to gas pipeline project revealed a total of 18 european companies had dropped out due to u.s. pressure across the developments frost's its equals donald. from the very outset
9:02 pm
the us has been hell burned on do you really ignored stream to me so this time the us state department has compiled and submitted a report to us congress kind of the taking the measures they have taken so far in this direction and how effective these measures have been this report by the way also comes at a very sensitive timing because the biden administration has been accused of well in the action of not being keen enough on preventing nordstrom too from coming to fruition this report is not yet available to the public but ned price the spokesman for the u.s. state department has revealed or that some 18 companies european companies have decided to pull out of the nord stream to a mid u.s. pressure and when i say pressure i mean sanctions so far the united states have been sanctioning the russians while the e.u. firms have remained sort of in the clear but that's only so far this constant
9:03 pm
threat of sanctions coming from washington while it has always been and is still hanging over european firms so well 18 of them have decided that better safe than sorry and while they decided to cut ties with the project now when it comes to russia moscow has always been saying that the north that north stream too has nothing to do with with the united states that it is strictly a matter of relations between russia and europe and germany in particular because that's where the pipeline is going and all these efforts that the u.s. has been taking russia views it as world geo political warfare here is the latest reaction that we have on this the u.s. 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 wheel of silver nations but there's an added layer of irony to this story because remember how they said that 18 companies have
9:04 pm
. sided to cut ties with nordstrom to the right and the way this information was delivered to the media by 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 piece of matley over the issue of how to listen. strategy including the legislative strategy of the strategies of course congress is has been behind has been working to good effect the credit is winding down all this work was done of the previous administration and out of all they didn't want all the money. are you telling me that i am all we. really is all of a sudden of all while you are only thing i am speaking for is.
9:05 pm
the man. i am not oh i are studying for the department of state ok the people who have been working miss the people who are working this now where the same people a month ago or the same people. 3 months ago. 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 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 were just trying to pin all the successes of his administration on the legacy of obama and his cabinet and so on and so forth but basically now this is all is revolver now around the nordstrom to project which is by the way 97 percent complete out of the total of
9:06 pm
1200 kilometers of the. by playing only a few dozen are left to be well laid on the seabed so there is that and basically this whole thing germany for instance is very keen on finishing this project it has repeatedly said that they are very much interested in world flicking the on switch on the on the north stream to pipeline so effectively it pitches the u.s. against its ally in europe germany and we'll see who will come out of this victorious. us democrats are calling on cable and satellite t.v. providers to justify hosting channels that are labeled by them as spreading disinformation some to put to news outlets of longer than this information rumor mill some conspiracy theory hot birds that produce content 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 the
9:07 pm
misinformation. and long the channels mentioned are fox news the one american news network and news max the allegations are over that coverage of the 2020 presidential election and the coronavirus pandemic republicans for their part condemned 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 country enjoys while legal and media analysts line all claims and all nonsense are not up to the democrats to decide what should and should not be broadcast. since when is this a cunt shirted who. what if they say something that thrower to live with
9:08 pm
it. there's always something wrong who says it's wrong who says it's misinformation the next time you are a spouse or a partner or a lover or relative if they say listen i want to talk to you say no i don't want to talk to you why because you spout misinformation wouldn't 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 unfounded. decides that since one is had a disqualifier on the dissemination of information my god i'm telling you right now you're not going to believe this but i'll bet you somewhere some place somebody
9:09 pm
might think that what you and i are saying is dissent from a 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 ever. israelis who refuse to get vaccinated against it could keep on from jobs on most public places but the new regulations are facing fast criticism 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 tourists 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 it you have to have what is called a green possible it's issued off to persons received to thank summations 21 days
9:10 pm
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 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
9:11 pm
it's very easy to slide when you start even with the good intentions to do things like. too much government. in 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 it's having on telegram 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
9:12 pm
understand if people take this this road in in for just a certain document i wouldn't do it personally but i can completely understand this is a growing right thing that the ever so lives 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 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 back to nation car. thank you thank you thank.
9:13 pm
you thank you i think it's a good idea i think there are a lot of people that are just. gravy. thank you 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. well we spoke about the new measures with israeli political analysts out the door who also warns that they do breach fundamental freedoms. green pass through it is not a good idea we should leave the people of their freedom of choice as long as they don't harm others it's really begins to the basic idea of freedom of choice if
9:14 pm
somebody wants to get vaccinated i mean it's a good idea to do it i did 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 abuse victim of. public duty for that we just should get back on normal lives keeping in mind there are certain groups of people whose house should be especially protected. and not to harm everybody not to harm our children not to harm our future not to harm my common. french farmers have dumped on old tires outside government buildings in the city of. the removal of me from school menus.
9:15 pm
well they also brought cows and goats to set up many farms and protest at the move by the city mayor how are they all forty's claim scrapping meat from school meals will actually help in the fight against the coronavirus the new health protocol cool to me to social distancing in school canteens a single meat free menu will serve students foster and streamlined meals when many parents are fuming about the move warning that families for more deprived communities in particular will suffer. you see in this is i think that unfortunately 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 the diet at least a few times a week off and on sick 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 and peace can intervene in questions of does the way they do and if we have to respect their ideology they
9:16 pm
must respect so i am absolutely against it. all refer milly's who relied on canteens on schools to provide meat in meals to children will now have no more so we can say that the move leader has absolutely no solidarity with less well off residents with working class families and that worries us as the farmers while they say their 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. at the city and now because they can't impose their ideas workforce in particular burning meat in schools supposedly because of coronavirus. amnesty international has changed its mind over describing jerry jailed russian opposition for galaxian of army as a prisoner of conscience it's how the human rights organization labeled him what he was arrested in moscow last while on his return from germany quarter picks up the
9:17 pm
story. well it was through a leaked email on twitter that we 1st heard of amnesty international's decision to revoke russian opposition activist aleksei of all the status as a prisoner of conscience and r.t. has asked for confirmation from amnesty international with regards to this move but before we go any further let's take a look at what exactly that e-mail said amnesty international is no longer able to consider the lexan of only a prisoner of conscience given the fact that he advocated violence and discrimination and he has not retracted such statements of all he was arrested last month the immediately upon his return to moscow from germany where he was receiving medical treatment to russia says that he violated a probationary sentence that was given to him back in 2014 and now he's facing 2 and a half years in a penal colony because of it now it's interesting that amnesty international decided to label the opposition activist a prisoner of conscience in the 1st place back in january because he doesn't
9:18 pm
exactly have a clean track record when it comes to conscientious acts i mean just last week a moscow court gave the man a nearly $12000.00 fine for insulting the 94 year old veteran of the 2nd world war he called him a traitor to the country we also know that he's never never made a secret about his feelings about the caucasus for example he said that russia needs to stop quote stop feeding the caucuses and there was another video that he came out with years ago in which he compared people from the caucasus to cockroaches in the video what if the cockroach is too big and the fly is too aggressive. well in this case i recommend a gun. and that video actually is still up of all these official you tube channel so for those who know that information they can make their own judgment as to
9:19 pm
whether or not amnesty international's decision was correct or not. hundreds of top academics have signed an open letter to demanding that a french minister quit after she called for an investigation into so-called islamic leftism in education the time has become an increasingly popular way to describe an alliance between progressives and muslims but some believe weakens society i think that islam will lift his muse it's a new widow societies or who and universities are not immune and the boys don't follow society well she also highlighted that the investigation aimed to determine the difference between academic research on minutes not to visit mount opinion in universities the minister's remarks come on the back of legislation that critics say is anti islamic including a new law or against radicalism that allows greater oversight of mosques on religious schools in october another french minister claimed islam. was wreaking
9:20 pm
havoc on the country's higher education facilities we also people in paris what they thought about the proposed inquiry. we will. have to i think the government is open least lama phobic the media all say the same bitterness towards muslims i think it's nonsense i believe that such aggression against muslims is an overreaction and it is completely comprehensible i have a feeling that muslims have no right to live freely in france there is a confusion between that 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. this is just 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 miss sick if you are a bus school said i don't like this concept i think is the wrong word and by the
9:21 pm
going movement but i don't really like that confusion. or one of the 600 academics who bacteria panetta told us the minister's outpassed is just the government's latest on this front 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 mislead thing that she must understand the consequences of such her positions and of her actions during 4 years of the loss of project were aimed at limiting higher education friends 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 and friends particularly in regards of the phenomena of
9:22 pm
structural racism or the phenomena of discrimination or sexism this theories are very useful and there is no need at all to regulate any of the areas while crowds have rallied in the caucasus country of georgia after the arrest of opposition m.p. nick melia his detention columns i was often part of a name to the new prime minister his predecessor opposed to merely as a resto for physically political crisis. has the need of the united national movement is accused of inciting violence dating back to protests in 2019 back then he was released on bail but how to wire trucking bracelet but in november he refused to have a device of bail was increased by $12000.00 which he refused to pay. and all the while the news the killing of a 16 year old protester has sparked father rallies in the myanmar city of young dog demonstrators walk to posters of a sniper who allegedly shot the boy last saturday police opened fire on an demonstrators and run to lay killing 2 and ensuring more than 20. 2
9:23 pm
these mount etna continues to rob it's far too long of a kilometer into the and a huge plume of smoke now hangs above the peak of europe's most act. folk a know their option also spewed out to lava flows and say that was no need for an evacuation it's the 5th time at night has erupted in the last 7 days. and finally a u.n. report due to be published next month is expected to accuse a top us private military of illegally sending fighters on dom's to a libyan rule out of america's heart of the reports on the notorious company called block 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
9:24 pm
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 by the. power great libyan people our victory today goes beyond the issue of a standalone victory to something greater than that it has it represents a symbol of the victory of national unity reunification peace building and 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
9:25 pm
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
9:26 pm
when erik prince blackwater's founder said foreign mercenaries and weapons to support libyan warlord khalifa haftar are against the tripoli based government 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 a in american centric outcome we know that the us supported of violations of the arms embargo in supporting croatia back during t.-o. balkans conflict the us was at the forefront of 'd should feed weapons from
9:27 pm
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 france that the united states government is not aware of the fact that these these these activities are allowed to you know at least be considered as is is possibilities means that the u.s. had turned a blind eye to them was goodbye for one of us here and moscow i hope you can stop by staring coming away now watching the hoax.
9:28 pm
it's seemed wrong. to me to get to shape out just because to educate and in. equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. the british and american governments have often been accused of destroying lives in their own interests well you see in this these techniques is the state devising methods to and to essentially destroy the personality of an individual. by scientific. this is how one dumped his theories with allegedly used in
9:29 pm
psychological warfare against prisoners deemed a danger to the state that was the foundation of the method of psychological interrogation psychological torture of this disseminated within the us intelligence community and worldwide among our allies for the next 30 years and the victims say they still live with the consequences today. greetings and salutation well well well my friends it appears our freedom of speech is under attack. yes working in the world of independent news media for just over 10 years now i have lost count of how many times i have heard that phrase get thrown around our freedom of speech is under
9:30 pm
attack. tragically most of the time it's used as quick bait the way to lure independent thinkers and activists to a site or article by appealing to their very real fears of losing our very precious 1st amendment rights of free speech and assembly to an overbearing government it's also been used quite quite often as a tool of the ego test you know how many times have we seen the pampered and privileged claim that their free speech is under attack whenever they've been forced to face the real world consequences for their actions and words yeah everybody loves to claim censorship when suddenly for. faced with you know having to take responsibility for the idiotic and cruel things they say often times in situations or conversations that any logical caring and tactful person would realize it's best to keep the 1st shut or choose your words wisely if you're going to say something stupid tragically these instances watered down actually.
