france and that's been known for a long time because there are many types of poor inhabitants lots of immigrants that's cousin in crisis in the town and during the coverage pandemic has worsened many have lost their jobs and many students have found themselves without resources without help without anything at all and she says the problems here getting out of control. it's a social catastrophe because poverty is growing people have difficulties to make it to the end of the month there's also criminality that pushes young people to worse bad things very more and more problems here there is aids in cooking me a number of associations offer help to those who are struggling through distribution as well as moral support is being doled out but more and more people all finding themselves in need people hey feel isolated forgotten. it's been very very difficult for many families because they haven't
12:04 am
been able to work because they've lost jobs or they had temporary contracts i had problems finding a job it's a catastrophe i have been looking everywhere so. it's become almost with a pandemic in every sense if i try to find a job i won't be able to do it at my age but it also effects our children they have nothing to do here they're struggling to find a job for many you know the key issue is how to survive but so to have to crawl out from the poverty trap jobs have been lost has been lost too and without either residents like at lima see no future here i don't want my children to stay here in france in green particularly and in france in general graf you are in fewer opportunities to find a job yet they have education that elsewhere could give them a stable future what chance they have remains to be seen so much evil ski
12:05 am
r t 20 s. or. the talks between e.u. leaders brussels has threatened legal action against 6 member states if they don't reopen their borders the countries including germany the big powerhouse the show the stop the spread of a pandemic but it's brought some trade to a standstill in the process is our europe correspondent reports. the e.u. commission currently at all do with 6 member states who have unilaterally put in place border restrictions of one type or and other in order to try and stop the spread of covert 19 whether that's the spread of the virus in general or the stop of the spread of mutated versions particularly here in germany that's been a top issue e.u. commission buying up though they're not happy with the situation the commission has been clearer to coordinate that approach among 27 member states we risk fragmentation and disruptions to free movement into supply chains something we have
12:06 am
witnessed again in the past 2 weeks. so who's on the naughty list belgium germany denmark hungry finland and sweden have all been given 10 days to provide a good reason why they put these restrictions on freedom of movement in place or to relax the restrictions that have been put there the e.u. commission's unlikely to win easily on this one we've heard from the german side who've defended their move these measures obviously put a massive strain on border regions commuters and the transport of goods and the single market but the protection of our citizens aspire amount finland has also issued a statement saying that yes they recognize this is far from ideal but they deem it necessary the recalcitrant member states of all received letters this week saying that a means that they're trying to achieve can be reached through different means we
12:07 am
believe that the objective justifiably pursued by germany the protection of public health during the pandemic could be attained by less restrictive measures here in germany any travelers coming from the czech republic from 'd slovakia or from the terrel region of austria we've got to provide on arrival at the border a negative covert test that resulted in these huge tailbacks of traffic causing real disruption on the on the border with germany brussels is essentially fighting a battle now with the member states over their. national interest they want to keep covert out of their countries but the e.u. has a duty as it sees it to keep freedom of movement going within the block and those 2 things coming together over this pandemic you know people over there we've got to reactionary disappeared from political experts to. in the eatery and house to our.
12:08 am
lawn there were 40 kilometers in line between some trucks and that are waiting to head to front he tell you to house to have because. he wanted to have all of the trucks and to have a negative test i mean we are inside a european union so if we are inside a human where all the states saying. i don't understand why there are subsidies big problems and if you want to be in the united states europe. sometimes explains this is not the. correct way and it seems to me that the e.u. is only as usual that people have been to live in europe people out of the geneva new habit of being the lead in what they think yes to distil. and that's why the best is to be in elections and usually there were elections and they will be those
12:09 am
how much the power of the you have been you know has a well their lives including for this question well at least in principle because you can does a big deal with see what happens but it didn't again they were there when they do there is a village a budget of god the guns will do their own seeing so you can do anything little freedom with. israel's offer to send covert shots to states that it of back to an internationally criticize move such as recognition of jerusalem as its capital with more on this new diplomatic tactic when our middle east correspondent. israelis say to share with stock effect scenes with a countries including with palestinian doctors a generous mean few might think about but. we are talking about symbolic numbers of vaccines that were given to maris countries i took the decision in return for many things that we already received through many contacts in various areas that i will no detail here. but ports came trade off sought being made with countries which is
12:10 am
well at least some people stood relations. soft pala at its finest the often appears quite clear we will give you vaccines and in return you give us all diplomatic support if this is the chick embassy in tel aviv not so long ago paul promised to open a diplomatic office in jerusalem and in return the people of the czech republic would receive thousands of corona virus vaccinations from israel or somalia has moved its embassy to jerusalem 100 page the same hungary has also set up a trade mission in jerusalem and many of those think it's simply wrong to trade
12:11 am
medicine for political influence the reason being that any always doing it is to promote himself and to try and win the elections so in that sense of course the it's not done purely out of the right multi-verse he use us. diplomatic relationships he use us for anything he has to report to people in israel why he's doing it and to which countries he's doing it to you has to be transparent about it but there's nothing wrong with it we need to give to all of our citizens here in israel the vaccine. speak for we think couple offering it to any other country is regardless of what they are doing for us the ideal thing would be that these vaccines would get directly to these countries and not through israel and the original prize to get to all the countries that need it and we shouldn't make any profit out of it i do agree it should help other countries and the 3rd world as
12:12 am
well to get vaccinated. not to use it cynically just to gain for politico gain our loyalty and our government's loyalist ca should be to its citizens 1st and foremost like most of our population i think you should quit israel doesn't manufacture the vaccines itself and the idea was to stand thousands of left of the shots to other countries inside the country ms and yahoos main rival in governing patna defense minister binney guns has harshly criticized the arrangements saying they had been reached without any governmental deliberation the fact that netanyahu trades in vaccines of israeli citizens that were paid for from their tax money without any accountability shows that he thinks he is running a kingdom and not a state next month hundreds of thousands of medina vaccines are expected to arrive in israel once the country has finished inoculating its own population the surplus
12:13 am
supplies might be used to help normalize relations with new countries who knows how many more of these embassies might be springing up in jerusalem. tel aviv. to find some political i'm are or and defended israel's move other units in everyone's interest. both humanitarian and directed. to keep these vaccines. of 5 or 6000000 palestinians living next to eat because that make knows no borders it is going to work be a boomerang effect if these people are infected and. infect israelis in peace not for israel to to meet just to buy it for almost no more fights or and then if you do something that you know american rulers and you know then numbers one thing these are being talked about very small
12:14 am
several 1000 vaccines each case which means that they are not going to go to the population they are going to go only to the rulers their elites who does security services to get regular citizens of these countries are not going to enjoy the benefits of these vaccines all the communities are living together there are he's really just living in settlements in the west bank next to arab villages and towns. of religious intolerance so yes after israel palestinian should get the 1st and not dos regimes who have been helpful to me tell me how and perhaps how it worked against the israeli interest. to 50 minutes post if you haven't to watch the clock this morning oh this is so bring the world health organization special envoy in covert 19 as told that the world should prepare for
12:15 am
a new post pandemic reality whatever that is going to be dr david nabarro also warned we should expect the dangerous strains to spread to. yes some who say we should be striving towards eliminating the virus completely others and i'm in this 2nd group say that we must strive towards being able to live with the virus as a constant threat but putting in place a mix of defenses in our societies that mean that we hold the virus at bay at the center of that is vaccination which can protect people from getting seriously ill and dying but there's also how we behave and there's also how governments create the conditions in which we can behave in a really helpful way but we're going to avoiding the virus and this international
12:16 am
cooperation because if one country is brilliant and the neighbor is not so good that's not helpful to the people who specially if they were to move between the countries so that last point about international cooperation is absolutely vital. i want to be clear you always need to have traction nations to get so that's good practice or even just for many years i've carried a little yellow book next to my passport which 'd indicates that i've had yellow fever vaccinations it includes being toes of the data i've received the vaccination who vaccinated me and very importantly will number a vaccine i received i really think that's good practice now how the significance it used as possible for being able to get on a plane or get into a hotel or go into a building or go to a festival that's
12:17 am
a different story and right now i don't think anybody is in a position to start saying. now vaccinations if it gets will be used in practice it's early days on that but what matters is that there is good international cooperation between countries to really work out what the protocols for using vaccinations to their kids when enabling people to travel or enabling people to benefit from going to a particular event that needs to be discussed internationally. there's been as as most of your viewers will know a recent investigation into how this virus appeared true independence scientific group that was set up under the auspices of the world health organization a joint independent group together with the chinese authorities and they are in the process of producing their report looking for hypotheses about the origins and
12:18 am
their report will detail where they've got to in relation to each of these hypotheses finding out the origins of any kind of pathogen whether it's the one causing this corona virus or other perfect james for example like it or particular kinds of influenza these investigations are difficult to do and as far as i'm concerned this is a process it's on track where it's very political and a lot of people are watching it and we have to wait until the report appears before any further judgments could be made. donald trump's quote concentration camps or joe biden's facilities for kids that appears to be the message from u.s. media reporting on the president reopening the site migrant things with disturbing elements more reminiscent of prison cells cages and even guantanamo bay the
12:19 am
administration claims it will only operate during a pandemic but in a pretend connex asks why the coverage is so different this time round. the same famous outlet reporting on essentially the same controversial issue of how children who are legally cross america's southern border are treated by the u.s. government the general practice is that they're put in camps after being separated from their parents different dates under the articles and very different titles the one from a tobar 20 reads the american tradition of caging children the one from this week is 1st migron facility for children opens under biden and the told in these 2 unmistakably different i'm not the one to judge but it seems under biden are the words that make the difference this is though how the dems were destroying trump not so long ago for oh they couldn't stop repeating. in cages
12:20 am
there is a very clear intent and they are carrying out the intent which is to separate these families and put these children in cages they watch in horror as children are torn from their families and thrown into cages but make no mistake what's opened or reopened after joe biden took charge is spelled f.a.a. c i l i t y facility that we're being. told is under fire this is not kids being kept in cages this is this is this is a facility that was opened that's going to follow the same standards as other h.h.s. facilities ok i get partisan solidarity but there must be someone in the democrat camp with the ballast vision who would say guys this isn't right these double standards in how you look at treating young migrants bingo here's what
12:21 am
congresswoman alexandria ocasio cortez tweeted. this is not a kid never has been or can never really be a king no matter the administration or party only to backpedal in less than an hour after being struck by a hail storm of replies her next twitter post slammed the fundamentals of the immigration system putting the blame on the previous administration oh yeah under the old administration ms ocasio cortez had been much more adamant in her fight against what she wasn't just calling cages but full on concentration camps i flew to the concentration camp planted the terms with ministration must keep and they still from their parents joe biden steam and left leaning commentators are defending the decision not only to maintain but to reopen camps for children by saying it's a necessity in the times of covert or cabs extra room but the head of a u.s. border patrol union says it doesn't feel like any improvement is on the way instead
12:22 am
though he claims the biden team holds unaccompanied migrant children in border patrol custody longer than legally allowed all in the very same cages the hypocrisy from the left in the mainstream media truly shows they care nothing for the children they used as pawns to attack president trump the ironic thing is that the camps or facilities or whatever you choose to call them appeared while barack obama was in charge along with vice president joe biden mr biden didn't even shy away from admitting responsibility it was a major mistake made to took too long to get it right took too long to get it right i'll be president of station and vice pres united states hoops is he still not getting it right speaking of vice presidents once in 29 cavalera scored political points by protesting outside a cab and homestead florida where teens detained at the border were being held well
12:23 am
there's now plans to reopen that homestead facility to. now the news this morning security officials have a paid to give contradictory evidence that the u.s. senate's 1st public hearings into last month's capitol riot the office has blamed each other and other agencies for mistakes that led to the assault that also seems the no contingency measures for such an attack and many came out of the chamber at the end of it all with more questions announces the assessment indicated that members of the proud boys white supremacist groups. and other extremist groups were expected to participate on january 6th and that they may be inclined to become violent police officers were not trained on how to respond to an infiltration of the capitol building is that correct this was and when you talk about infiltration you talk about
12:24 am
a large insurrection like we saw in the january 6 know anyone from the department of homeland security contact you about a potential national special security event designation no i'm not aware of anybody from a d h s reaching out no. thank you and stay with me senator no contact with me or my office are all capitol police officers out there with right here no they're not sir. well my faithful day journey the 6 a crowd of trump supporters stormed the capitol building in washington d.c. many were angry with the results of the presidential election claiming that vote had been stolen and that donald trump out in fact won but the mob faced little resistance from security as they then broke in.
12:25 am
we discussed the senate hearing with experts who agree that showed a clear lack of coordination in the security response to that. i have some very very strong reforms and acted in place specially here to protect and secure the capital where there is not only bit of threat from 911 but post 911 biological attacks other threats to lawmakers shootings with lawmakers across the country and it is just a really really bizarre situation to try to fathom why there was not a contingency plan in place solid coordination between the police the f.b.i.
12:26 am
homeland security as well as national guard which was available from 3 different locations right here in virginia and maryland and the d.c. national guard as well that could have been there within minutes if they were activated and there were proper protocols put into place congress has always had very broad authority not only over capitol police capitol law enforcement but over d.c. laws itself and so all that's come out from the testimony is that the d.c. mayor ordered some minimal national guard troops just to protect me the street closures and things like that that were seen nothing come out about any requests from around the capitol of course if you're looking at the capitol building itself you'd be looking at the speaker of the house nancy pelosi looking at democratic majority leadership here so it has been confusing and they still don't have the answers to that but especially if the f.b.i. had intelligence and again intelligence showing that multiple agencies showed that
12:27 am
even and he thought he was planning to disguise themselves as john said this. new website is calling to name and shame anyone who voted for the no trump in the presidential election. my reaction to including promoting think it is so outrageous it must be a republican set up caleb opens on it. the election is over the new president has been inaugurated but americans are far far from over the trump years that's evidenced by the fact that there was a website created urging americans to track and report from supporters now the web site has been taken down but the internet remembers everything. we're a diverse group of patriots and people of color looking to make a positive difference in america by unmasking donald trump voters we believe that the majority of trump voters only supported his presidency and not a mostly it's clear that the true majority of americans oppose donald trump in
12:28 am
public but it's our duty to expose those who actually supported him in private now the website urged people to provide the names of trump supporters unmasking them so they could eventually be handed over to law enforcement to officials and to the public not surprisingly the website caused quite a stir on top of being also written aaron an obsessive this is a weird mission if you have anyone in your life who backs trump chances are they're not shy about telling you why great detail i didn't vote for don't trump but this is pretty pathetic this isn't how you treat fellow american voters in a democratic republic but through it's now some looked at the website with a bit of cynicism and said this looks like possibly a p.r. stunt started by the trial supporters themselves but it's all the reason to not instantly draw attention to trump voter list is it's just as easily be some sort of right wing performance of votes liberal intolerance or an attempt to call this email addresses or any of
12:29 am
a 1000000 other things than what people think it is. that's. wrong but it's more believable if you realize it's not the 1st time obama administration official hari sub again actually started the accountability project archiving the names of everyone who worked in the trumpet ministration calling for them to be blacklisted employees considering them should know there are consequences for hiring anyone who helped trump american values congresswoman alexandria cortez of new york has called for archiving the posts of people she refers to as trump sycophants so they cannot downplay their complicity later is anyone having those trump cyc offense for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future i foresee decent probability of many deleted tweets writings photos in the future it's worth noting that critics of twitter say it's anti hate policies often lead to the removal of pro trump comments but not into trump ones that violate its
12:30 am
policies joe biden has continued to call for unity but it seems that hate is alive and well among his supporters america is anything but unified in these 1st months of the post trump era caleb r.t. new york. thanks for watching the food with it from the start. much more that we're talking about today or any of us social about with more in half an hour thank you for watching out international. it's been decades since the fall of spain's fascist regime but old wounds still haven't healed.
