a trump era facility for migrant children similar to those concentration camps we look at just how different mainstream media reporting is on the much criticized facility now under this new administration. good morning from moscow this 25th of february watching r t international with me kevin our 1st undocumented migrants jobless families penniless pensioners they're just some of the groups struggling to survive in a paris suburb branded a ticking time bomb by its may. skew reports from the town where food charities warn they can no longer cope. the tongue of the given year is just 30 kilometers south of paris and it's already infamous in france as being one of the country's poorest areas and home to one of europe's biggest housing complexes now
1:02 am
nearly hall off of the residents who live in that complex behind me live below the poverty line things would already be bad before kovac 19 ravaged through this community now the mayor is sounding the alarm saying the pandemic is causing a social tsunami between last march and december the number of unpaid charges including for water and heating has practically doubled and if we can't pay for the water and heating that means we also can't pay for upkeep and emergency repairs with no money coming in local authorities will struggle to keep things afloat meaning the problems in this town could spiral we spoke to one resident you didn't want to show her face on camera but told us people were getting poorer the basics that we needed for life even out of reach greenies one of the poorest towns in
1:03 am
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 are 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 aid 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 are finding themselves in it people here feel isolated
1:04 am
forgotten that it's been very very difficult for many families because they haven't 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 to 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 there are fewer and fewer opportunities to find a job yet they have indications that elsewhere could give them
1:05 am
a stable future what chance they have remains to be seen so much even ski altie greatly. israel has offered to send covert shots to states that have back to an internationally criticized moves such as recognition of jerusalem as its capital with more on this new diplomatic tactic and reaction to it paula slew. israelis say to share that stock effect scenes with other 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 various 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. reports came tradeoffs sought being made with countries which is well listen people stood relations.
1:06 am
soft at its finest the often appears quite clear we will give you vaccines and in mattoon you give as well diplomatic support this is the czech 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 coronavirus 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 many of those think it's simply wrong to trade 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
1:07 am
course the it's not done purely out of the right multi-verse he used. diplomatic relationships to 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 there in 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 well to get vaccinated. not to use it cynically just to
1:08 am
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 send thousands of left of the shots to other countries inside the country nissen ya whose main rival in governing partner 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 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 well the
1:09 am
reviews on both sides of this to friends a political commentator a mentor and defended israel's move a good sin that everyone's interests. both human tarion and directed. to keep these vaccines. 5 or 6000000 palestinians living next to eat because the dead make knows no borders it is going to work be a boomerang effect 2 if these people are infected and. infect israelis not for israel to to eat just to buy it for almost no more fights or and then if to some that you know american rulers all the community is only going to get there or there are easier these living in settlements in the west bank next to arab villages and towns. of religious intolerance
1:10 am
so yes after israel palestinian should get the 1st and not dos regimes who have been helpful to me tell me how. it worked against the israeli interest. on a thursday morning 10 past the next donald trump's quote concentration camps a joe biden's facilities for kids that appears to be the message from the us media reporting on the president reopening a site for migrant teens the disturbing elements more reminiscent of prisons the new administration claims it will only operate during the pandemic but in the us why the coverage is so different this time round. this 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 practices that they're put in camps after being separated
1:11 am
from their parents there for and dates under the articles and the very different titles the one from tobar 20 reads the american tradition of caging children the one from this week is the 1st migrant facility for children opens under biden and 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 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.
1:12 am
c i l i t y facility that we're being. told that this is not kids being kept in cages this is this is this is silly 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 democratic camp with the ballast vision who would say guys this isn't right these double standards in how you look at treating young migrants being go here's what congresswoman alexandria ocasio cortez tweeted. this is not ok never has been ok never will be ok no matter the ministration a 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 but under the old administration is ocasio cortez had been much more adamant in her
1:13 am
fight against what she wasn't just calling cage's but full on concentration camps i flew to the concentration camp where the trumpet ministration was keeping children 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 though he claims the biden team holds unaccompanied migrant children in border patrol custody a longer than legally allowed all in the very same cages the hypocrisy from the left and 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
1:14 am
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 made a mistake made to took too long to get it right took too long to get it right i'll be present united states not vice president on stage hoops is he still not getting it right speaking of vice presidents once in 29. scored political points by protesting outside a cab and homestead florida where teens detained at the border were being held well there's now plans to reopen that homestead facility to. its international broadcast around the world this is great that you're watching thank you for it because stick around for a bit still ahead the world health organization special envoy say you want to hear this tells us the we may not be near the end game yet when it comes to the
1:15 am
pandemic. when a trauma happens it changes us literally it causes a chemical change in our d.n.a. and this changes the way our genes function. sometimes for generations. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being
1:16 am
led. by. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maid in the shallows. 20 again this is out international the big names talk to us talking of which the world health organization special envoy on covert 19 has told r.t. that the world should prepare for a new post pandemic reality whatever that's going to be dr david nabarro also warned that we should expect other dangerous strains to spread to. as some who say we should be striving towards eliminating the virus completely
1:17 am
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 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.
1:18 am
i want to be clear you always need to have traction nations to good so that's good practice or even just for many years i've carried a little yellow book next to my passport which 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 of vaccine i received i really think that's good practice now how decent to get so used as possible as 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 a different story and right now i don't think anybody is in a position to start saying to our 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 the kids when enabling people to travel or enabling people to
1:19 am
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 through an 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 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 pathogens for example like it or particular kinds of influenza these investigations are difficult to do and as
1:20 am
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 dr david nabarro there from the w.h.o. good to have him on the program now talking of the affects of covert ahead of talks between e.u. leaders brussels has threatened legal action against 6 member states now if they don't reopen their borders any time soon the countries including germany are shut down to try to stop the spread of the pandemic but has bought some trade in the process to a standstill as a result is our europe correspondent. the e.u. commission currently after 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
1:21 am
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 a supply chain is something we have 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
1:22 am
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 are trying to achieve can be reached through different means we 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 travel is 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 border with germany brussels is essentially fighting a battle now with the member states over their. national interest they want to
1:23 am
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 in that border which we eat only and asked you to. meet and i know. some tracks and we think you had. therefrom he tell you to house whoever because it wants to hold trucks and to have a negative test i mean if we are inside a european union if we are inside the euro where all this is the scene. i don't understand why there are sets of these big problems and if you want it to be in the united states europe starts to lead us sometimes it explains disease not the. correct way. security officials have appeared to give
1:24 am
contradictory evidence that the u.s. senate's 1st public hearings into last month's capital riot the officers blame each other and other agencies too for mistakes that led to the assault it also seems there were no contingency measures for such an attack many came out of the chamber with more questions than answers the assessment indicated that members of the proud boy's 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. when you talk about infiltration you talk about a large insurrection like we saw on the january 6th no anyone from the department of homeland security contact you about a potential national special security event designation no i am not aware of anybody from h.s. reaching out no one contacted me thank you and stayed with me senator no contact
1:25 am
with me or my office are all capitol police officers out there with right here no they're not sir. as was witnessed on january the 6th a crowd of trump supporters stormed that capitol building in washington d.c. many were angry with the results of the presidential election claiming the vote have been stolen they said that donald trump had in fact won but the mob faced little resistance from security as they broke in.
1:26 am
or we talked about the senate hearing with experts who agreed it showed a clear lack of coordination in the security response to the riot. they 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 with solid coordination between the police the f.b.i. homeland security as well as national guard which was available from 3 different locations right here in virginia and maryland and the d.c.
1:27 am
national guard as well they 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. was 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 answers that fit especially if the f.b.i. had intelligence and again intelligence showing that multiple agencies showed that even antitheft was planning to disguise themselves as transit routes. as a web site calling to name and shame anyone who voted for donald trump in the presidential election just told me reaction including from those who thought it was
1:28 am
so just that it must have been a republican sets up kellam 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 evidence 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 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's supporters unmasking them so they could eventually be handed over to law enforcement officials and to the public not surprisingly the website caused quite a stir on top of being also
1:29 am
a tear in an obsessive this is a weird admission if you have anyone in your life who backed trump chances are they're not shy about telling you why in great detail i didn't vote for dawn trump but this is pretty pathetic this isn't how you treat fellow american voters in a democratic republic but through its 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 so the reason to not instantly draw attention to trump voter lists is it could just as easily be some sort of right wing performance of boats liberal intolerance or an attempt to call this email addresses for 1000000 other things than would people think it is. it's likely some trump supporters who run that site but it's more believable if you realize it's not the 1st time obama administration official hari sub again actually started the trump accountability project archiving the names of everyone who worked
1:30 am
in the trumpet ministration calling for them to be blacklisted employees considering them should know there are consequences for hiring anyone who held true 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 those trump sika fans 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 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.
