3:01 am
suburb containing one of europe's biggest and poorest housing estate t.v. for want to part by the pandemic its economy at the moment. good morning from moscow as i say it's 11 am here now this 25th of february you're watching out international with me kevin i mean for the next half hour i hope 1st and exercising soft power through vaccine diplomacy is our top story with jobs currently worth their weight in gold amid chronic shortage is israel's negotiating political favors from countries in exchange for giving shots 1st off is our correspondent paula slater with more on its new diplomatic strategy. 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
3:02 am
vaccines that were given to mary's 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 least some people stood relations. sauce paula at its finest he often appears quite clear we will give you vaccines and in mattoon you give us all diplomatic support this is the check 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
3:03 am
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 course the it's not done purely out of the right multi-verse he use us. 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 about offering it to any other countries regardless of what they are doing for us the ideal thing would be that these
3:04 am
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 gain politico gain our loyalty and our government's loyals see 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 nice and yahoos 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
3:05 am
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 let's get a view live on this from tel aviv delighted to say we're joined from israel by m.p. to mazar what do you think about this already is being dubbed jobs for diplomatic favors maybe that some kind maybe this was more to it than seems what do you think of this. first of all i think. and preliminary and obligation. both morally and. in terms of man. and that is that the palestinians that close by and then are under our control and
3:06 am
they're still waiting on millions of her folks seniors are that can you know israel and the west bank and gaza street the line. is why now you need them united you why i think that sending don't look seems far away might be a kind that you did. not make sure we were only geishas to our neighbors nearby that are on their own were our responsibility israel has given a couple of 1000 doses to the palestinian authorities promise what 3000 more but ok that's a long way off what lead us not to say yes yes but that we shall complete this operation 1st oh boy you know. faraway country. no matter what and you know the diplomatic best. it can be a very humanitarian gesture at me and be very kind from us read it does not come
3:07 am
before our moral and put you god and human and help you know in hell. aspect and we're going to follow israeli's i mean israel's doing really really well with the rollout of vaccine will you. will be to really least one shot of the 2 dose 5 is a vaccine has been given to just over half the population but you look at it is a glass half full or half empty here what about the rest of the population should they be getting it 1st before sending it overseas now actually right now over a ph it has been a vaccine but the other half about 2 thirds of them are children under 16 that cannot stand in another almost. approximately over half a 1000000 are people that god and there are so he's going to screw it so we go but you've got plenty of spare why not look after your friends around the world maybe even your friendly means if you like you know it's nothing new for countries around the world to try and develop your political influence with favors like this
3:08 am
especially at a time you could say that israel's being really kind and human here reaching out to people around the world that need it desperately i agree i'm just saying that you know 1st of all as an israeli and very proud of this operation and the fact that every israeli that wants to get a vaccine has one waiting for us and their health. i call in oh it's when the 2nd in line are the finest hour our boat on a bird and people aren't there our responsibility because we control their land and their fate and after that i think many gestures owners are welcome but i think that is something you just didn't go into you know waiting . to send them a few 1000 and so and then see the palestinians meet while i wait here just around the corner from our you know neighborhood and i think this is also for the better
3:09 am
because i said you know if you look at their epidemiology side on the palestinians working here they come here so for the sake of their health. it would be wise there are 2 books in the palestinian sure a lot of people agree here sure a lot of people disagree with you but thank you for your thoughts live on the program to must love to see you have a good day you. know the news had a talk between the leaders brussels has threatened legal action against 6 member states if they don't reopen the borders again and so for the pandemic the countries including germany have had to shut down to try to stop the spread of it but the closures have brought trade to a standstill in the pro. says what you're seeing here rows of italian trucks trying to get into austria on their way into germany but there's much red tape they can't get through because they need coronavirus test to enter next than our europe correspondent reporting. the e.u.
3:10 am
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 it's the spread of the virus in general 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 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
3:11 am
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 believe that the objective justifiably pursued by germany the protection of public health during the pandemic could be attained by less restrictive measures brussels is essentially fighting a battle now with the member states over their. national interests 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
3:12 am
things coming together over this pandemic in that border which we eat only and those 2 are. there. for a meeting. between some trucks an hour waiting to head to from heat to house because. we want to all of you have even tested i mean if we are inside a european union if we are inside all this the scene. i don't understand why there are. these big problems. if you want it to be the united states or so europe. sometimes it's plain to see is not the. correct way. donald trump's quote concentration camps for joe biden's facilities for kids than it appears it appears to be the message from the us media reporting anyway on the
3:13 am
president reopening a site for migrant teens with disturbing elements more reminiscent of prisons the new administration claims of lonely operate during a pandemic but it connects asks why the coverage is so different this time around. 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 practices that they're put in camps after being separated from their parents different dates under the articles and very different titles the one from tobar 20 reads the american tradition of caging children the one from this week is 1st migron 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
3:14 am
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. 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. 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 democrat camp with the balanced vision who would say guys this isn't right bs double
3:15 am
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 fight against what she wasn't just calling cage's but full on concentration camps i flew to the concentration camp with a trumpet ministration it 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.
3:16 am
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 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 there's 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 president of state's hoops is he still not getting it right speaking of vice presidents once in 29 cavalera scored political
3:17 am
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. this is a see the global for all costs to live from moscow to you watch makes it only worth while thank you for it still ahead former security officials testify in the u.s. senate about failure is in handling the capital but they end up. who's to blame. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on spearing dramatic they're probably the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful
3:18 am
very critical time time to sit down and talk.
3:19 am
why again undocumented migrants joe blow's families penniless pension is just some of the groups struggling to survive in one paris suburb branded a ticking time bomb bites man. he reports next one from the town where food aid charities warn they can't cope any longer. the time 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 complex is now nearly hall full of the residents who live in that complex behind me live below the poverty line things would already be bad before 19 ravaged through this community now the mayor is sounding the alarm saying the pandemic is cool seeing 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
3:20 am
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 as people were getting poor the basics that we needed for life even out of reach greenies one of the poorest towns in 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
3:21 am
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 of 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 need people hey feel isolated forgotten so to speak it is been very very difficult for many families because they haven't been able to walk because they've closed jobs but they had temporary contracts and i had problems finding a job it's a catastrophe i have been looking everywhere so. it's become immersed with the pandemic in never sense if i tried to find a job i was. be able to do it at my age but it also effects our children they have
3:22 am
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 a stable future what chance they have remains to be seen so that even ski. or not too far away belgians have reacted with fury to the fact they won't be told which covert job they'll be getting so this is where either the pfizer or us presented reports about the negative effect. has got people shying away.
3:23 am
we hear about different create urea for different vaccines that one is better than they are there and reports to that effect if people aren't informed and if the information is withheld i understand why some people are refusing to make their own choice it's understandable i think we don't know much where we are being given a little information but there are certainly people who are suspicious and the lack of information doesn't help. the situation is very strange is we don't know what we're being inoculated with if it's good that's another question it's not a problem for me but i can understand it could deter some people. or the head of one of the country's intensive care units telling us the failure to give people a choice is hurting the inoculation campaign. thing that works in issues important but it's also something you have to choose just self and this is a personal decision to move to the vaccination so therefore i think that it's quite important to get inform of the vaccine now the big concern over the last couple of
3:24 am
weeks was that the information spread all over the media and even in the scientific world question whether some backseats were more effective than others some victims were inducing more reaction than others and therefore i think that information spreads all over the community and therefore people are questioning whether they can select the type of vaccine they want to choose for their future so it's understandable that people want to know exactly what they get for we noticing it is a rush towards getting those one vaccine but who defied the vaccine and many people question whether they would accept the other one meaning you know astra zeneca vaccine and therefore it seems that it's slowing the number of people getting been vaccinated elsewhere security officials have appeared to give contradictory evidence and think u.s.
3:25 am
senate 1st public hearings into last month's capital riot the officers blamed each other and other agencies for mistakes that led to the assault it also seems that no contingency measures for such an attack either and many came out of the chamber with more questions than and says the assessment indicated that members of the proud voice 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 mr zandi when you talk about infiltration you talk about 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 one contacted me thank you and stay with me senator no contact
3:26 am
with me or my office are all capitol police officers out there with riot gear no they're not sir. on the 6th of january that crowd or trump supporters stormed the capitol building in washington d.c. many angry with the results of the presidential election they claimed the vote have been stolen didn't they and that donald trump had in fact won but the mob faced little resistance as we saw from security after they broke in.
3:27 am
we talked about the senate hearing with experts who agreed it showed a clear lack of coordination than the security response to what happened. 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 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. national guard as well they could have been there within minutes if they were
3:28 am
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 we've 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 even antitheft was planning to get disguised themselves as strong supporters you know the soul searching about it all goes on doesn't it that's the way things look in so far compared to 29 minutes past the hour of having to watch the clock go and do something today that which way thank you for watching. don't comb my sign.
3:29 am
we're more politicized than ever we're more polarized than ever the 21st century when speed is measured in megabytes per 2nd. electronic mail electronic money electronic media infinite possibilities for exchanging information i mean. freedom of speech and social media bends censorship of double standards who should judge what can be said online. the internet audience now totals almost 4500000000 almost all of them active social network users put one wrong move on their pages deleted digital.
3:30 am
not who runs the show on the web how can anyone stand up to the tech giants if even heads of state face the threat of being banned is there any limits to hold. but i was reading one way. when a traumatic changes literally it causes a chemical change. and this changes the wear jeans function sometimes for generations. the energy of the avalanche is stored on the side of the mountain. to release that catastrophic energy so here you have.
