czech republic all of the european countries worst affected by current virus turns to russia. faxing. giants giving up their censorship crusade against donald trump limits access to his 1st presidential speech repeating claims of 2020 election for. these agencies these platforms. are places to people to get. a death sentence for yemenis that's how the un described this year's drastic fall in donations for its aid program we speak to a refugee council spokesperson. entire generation of children will know nothing

about what's coming to you. by their very good afternoon thanks for joining us here on r.t. international 1st this hour the czech republic has turned to russia's v. corona virus vaccine to help tackle its crisis the country's 1st step the prime minister has proposed going registration for the job to get its vaccination campaign off the ground. the story now goes the of our correspondent following this story it's no secret i don't think that there is a serious problem in the czech republic with the virus it seems that they've turned to russia for help while the czech republic isn't alone so there's 3 european nations that have a green light at the sputnik despite the european medicines agency taking its start

really taking its time to approve these 3 nations have already sidelined the european union and of the said look the situation is. incredibly desperate. czech republic hungry and now slovakia which has just received its 1st batch. vaccines there's going to be millions more that are going to be delivered by summer but the situation in slovakia for example is desperate it's a tiny nation and it has one of the highest death rates from. seed in the world so 111 people per 1000000 dying from covert. a fraction 6 percent of the population has been able to get to get a vaccine a jab so the prime minister's obviously very happy that he's managed to secure more vaccines for the people with the situation this desperate especially given that 71 percent of vaccines. voiced willingness to get vaccinated with putin once it

becomes available of those who want to get vaccinated nevertheless there's now a scandal there's a scandal because the president of slovakia has come out she paid lip service to people's lives but already she's she said that vaccination shouldn't be carried out at the expense of political stability. of course saving lives goes beyond any political controversy but even exceptional actions can be taken in such a way so as not to destroy the ruling coalition humiliate opponents or question people's confidence in vaccinations and cause further conflict in society it is remarkable coming out in front of your people in the middle of a pandemic and telling them. you know your health is important but what is even more important is the stability of the ruling coalition. you know it just goes to highlight the deep divisions in europe and there are incredibly deep divisions in

europe over the way the pandemic vaccination in the rule out of the vaccines has been handled it isn't the russian vaccine that is undermining people's faith in the european union it is their handling of this crisis in germany for example 51 percent of people asked in a recent poll whether you know the the vaccination has been handled well or badly by the european union 51 percent more than half of germans have said it's been shambles the way the european union has handled it so initially the european union came out and said look let's let's all do it together so give up your power new nation needs to buy vaccines by themselves we'll handle it all so we'll get you vaccines but the vaccines and what ultimately happened is they bungled it 1st they were too expensive then they were too late because the united states britain snatched up all the vaccines look at the statistics only 5 percent of europeans

have been able to get a single job that is compared to 14 percent in the united states already 30 percent in the united kingdom so europe is lagging far far behind the european nations understand that this is a catastrophe this is a catastrophe in a huge number of levels of a political level or the health care level and ultimately what has happened is. all these nations have said look we're going to do this ourselves obviously the europeans the european agencies the euro kratz they have fumbled this so we'll have that ourselves you have poland running to the chinese with hands outstretched begging for that scene quotas you have austria. going out and saying that you know we're going to now cooperate with israel to develop 2nd generation 2nd generation vaccines then mark as well saying that will work with israel and 2nd generations vaccine to target all the strains and all that and all typically the

austrian chancellor so this is a leader of a european nation coming out and saying they've lost hope in europe the way that europe handles vaccine rollouts we must prepare for further mutations and should no longer be dependent solely on the e.u. in the production of 2nd generation vaccines look brussels understands that what has happened has been a catastrophe you have. officials the european union coming out and saying we're sort of apologizing to citizens all over europe for the way they've handled things but saying that you know it isn't it is a do over yet we can still recover we'll get your vaccines there's no need to run around and make shady deals and you know buy up vaccines that were. supposed to be received by other european nations you have a situation where it's a free for all now nevertheless the europeans assure that they can fix things and

they're now saying that perhaps perhaps we'll try to speed up the whole bureaucratic process that has caused all of this and get you a merge and see approval for vaccines now it could be an emergency authorization of vaccines that you level was shared liability among member states. but the situation is such that it is a free for all like you remember in the early days of the pandemic when countries all over the world and nato allies are good neighbors board put up supplies from each other so we're talking about mosques ventilators we all we all remember the diplomatic crises that that caused this situation now is remarkably similar so so there is no united front you know it's what you can get your hands on you get your hands on and this is a situation that obviously isn't optimal for europe in these difficult times

especially economically politically all over the world nevertheless european bureaucrats aren't giving up hope they believe that they can still fix things the problem is of course that member states don't believe that they can run thanks very much against the bring is the analysis here. now onto the news and in a clear sign of censorship you cheap is blocked donald trump's 1st 'd major speech since he left the white house this was on channels that included reuters a.b.c. and r.t. all because of a lack of content warnings. in terms address was widely criticized in liberal media the washington post for example labeled it a quote stream of delusion depravity malevolence and megalomania but given that you cheap blogs speech on many of its channels you may find it difficult to actually make up your own mind from a pennsylvania senator bruce marks he represented trump in the supreme court

believes the former president still has a right to express his opinion whatever it might be. he hasn't brought it upon himself because he's doing what he's allowed to do under the us constitution we have the 1st amendment it protects freedom of speech doesn't protect speech simply because it's right it doesn't protect speech just because it's popular it protects all speech so i don't think he's brought it upon himself at all i think he's absolutely entitled to his opinion well there's no doubt that there's a double standard and they can kill 2 birds or even more than 2 birds with one stone you tube is been biased against president trump obviously against r.t.d. it what's ludicrous is nobody was telling you to take down all the false statements that adam schiff and nancy pelosi and chuck schumer made about the russia hoax investigation i mean if there's anything that has been demonstrated to be absolutely untrue over the last 4 years is that donald trump didn't conspire with

russia to win the 2016 election and where is you tube taking down you know videos that have to do with the infamous steal you know gossip it was just made up absolutely scandalous allegations about donald trump and his hotel room at the ritz carlton in moscow but there is a liberal organization who will structure in america that wants to suffocate free speech and sadly enough you tube and facebook and twitter are part of. when we asked for clarification from you chief they said the video lacked in of context and information for what it called trumps violet of speech as been no response from the platform on how this information should be provided odd that during a live feed. content that advances false claims that voice press fraud errors or glitches change the outcome of 220 presidential election is not allowed in youtube however the video is still up on a number of western outlets with 0 warning messages that include the independent

c.b.s. and none of the video descriptions contain information about false claims a poll last year by the pew research census found that most americans think social media senses political views but also found many republicans believe big tech companies are the left leaning legal or media analysts lionel thinks that you choose ladies movies in attempt to silence political opponents. google and you tube and other other platforms like this are of such in the main nature had there almost like utilities today imagine if you're on the phone almost and your phone drops because you dared mention hydroxy chloroquine or said something in favor of donald trump you wouldn't have it and if the utility said well maybe you should start your own phone company would say that's ridiculous so it's time for us to recalibrate and redefine what these platforms are they're not they're not the union platform this is you tube this is international it's more than that and these distinctions

have to change and what it is is these agencies these platforms are if you will agencies or instruments of whatever the shadow government the ruling class the deep state i don't know but you're being used as clenching devices to punish people to get in line and people love these platforms so much that they will not talk about or think about anything in fear of losing their beloved you to were facebook or whatever actually know exactly what they're doing. the controversy surrounding the c.p. conference does not end there if you choose blocking of trump space the hotel chain that hosted the event is now facing boycott calls over stage design some thought that it bore a resemblance to a nazi symbol eliminating explains it was the hyatt hotel that hosted the event and now it's getting it in the neck such a stupid and short sighted business decision by her yet i've stayed in that hotel

chain countless times over the years never again. in other words how you had to simply find hosts nonces hate high out hotels highly inclusive does not mean hosting people who are not highly inclusive hosting a fascist nazi convention is the antithesis of inclusiveness you have made a grave error in judgment the imminent boycotts you're going to feel for years to come some fact checking websites are now even questioning whether it was done on purpose the shape of the nazi symbol is eerily similar to the shape of the stage at sea pink however we are presently unable to confirm whether this was a deliberate choice made by the event organizers the moments we rate this claim is unproven. the theory is that the sea pack stage resembled the odal room used in the archaic norse an anglo-saxon alphabets as the equivalent of the modern letter o and also meaning estate or heritage the nazis used this symbol during their rule

in germany and many groups that track anti-semitism and white supremacy is a classify it as a hate symbol now the hyatt hotel has denounced the symbol and said they had no power over how the stage was designed at the c. pac conference however the organizers of c. pac say this is all a conspiracy stage design conspiracy is outrageous and slanderous we have a long standing commitment to the jewish community council culture extremists must address don't assume it isn't within their own ranks broadly stands with jewish allies including those speaking from the stage moreover some jewish people have even mocked the attacks on c. pak as the grandson of holocaust survivors and as a proud american marine and jew i find these types and see parts to be outrageous and grotesque so as to destroy a narrative but he was a friday night. critics of the liberal narrative of pointed out that nazis are far

from the only people to use old norse rooms for example the symbol of bluetooth is derived from ancient european writings symbols that were also appropriated by fascists and the lord of the rings books and movies also contain similar symbols i was at sea pack and i you know eve anyone who told me that sea pact was an anti sematic event i would have just actually laughed in their face 1st of all the stage would at this stage would have been an upside down version of the overall room so if they were really trying to put it in a position of saying that that's part of their sensibilities then why would they put it upside down secondly as a member of the audience i didn't even know what the stage looked like until i saw it on twitter you couldn't even see it from the audience perspective so who designed the stage was an intentional is see pac responsible is hyatt hotel responsible we may never really know the answer but one thing that is for sure is that this controversy is certainly

a sign of the times in the united states of america caleb up an artsy new york political blogger antony brown logan believes the hoto might not have been in this position if it hadn't hosted a conservative event. the conspiracies are there just to conservatives and people believe in it because there's already a bias against conservatives anyway so the mainstream media has placed it to seed ok conservatives are bad they're racist they're hateful so when we say and now legace think about them well we can just make it so we believe it because you are to believe they're bad anyway so is that really a big stretch to think they would do something else days bad because it's already thing got there about them being bay to begin with and maybe the whole thing about the rune is there but it does mean it was intended to be that they tension doesn't matter all that matters is they can link it some kind of way and have regular people believe it because there was already preprogramming to exist. the

international community may have signed a death sentence for millions of people in yemen that's what the united nations is said after it received less than half the amount needed for this is a program he spoke to no we counsel spokes person silt on the back of. it's shocking that at a time when we have warning about a potential historic famine in yemen that countries like saudi arabia which i think pledged 430000000 that's a fraction of the 1000000000 they pledged in 2019 the u.a.e. as well as another country which is directly responsible for the situation of hunger in yemen through its role in the war i mean he pledged 230000000 in the u.k. that hostages aid to yemen. and again the u.k. it's irresponsible for what's going on because of its sounds of weapon what this means for young children in yemen is that an entire generation of children will

know nothing of how much and disease what they will see will see a generation whose development is time to. view and raise less than the hoff of the $3900000000.00 needed for his 2021 aid program with a number of countries giving less than last year thus situation stems from the conflict in yemen that has led to the world's worst humanitarian crisis.

yemenis themselves are helping themselves all the time and you know aid isn't the only thing that was keeping families afloat i'm not families with guilt when they could they were going to get. to work trying to get. you know families in yemen help or has been going on to 6 the communities themselves they've been taking in families who've been displaced and they've been sharing that very little that they have but the problem is yemenis they are an incredibly resilient population but they've run out of options because it 19 means more people have lost their jobs it means that yemenis who are working abroad and helping their needs are longer able to do so so there's very little resources that yemenis have planned so that's why the international community just step in with the money and support but

ultimately as well what we need is an end to this war we need a nationwide scenes because the conflict is that is at the root cause of the hunger in this country stay with our team or use after a short break. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the dares thinks. we dare to ask.

there is a growing consensus the biden ministration is off to a slow start to date the new president has relied on executive orders this is not unusual but what does set this president apart is the emphasis on what could be called weaponized empathy visit ministration has embraced the wealthiest agenda and all of their visions become with this agenda. welcome back we're going to start acting now that's what joe biden senior adviser said about paying reparations to african-americans for centuries of systemic racism and slavery the comment comes as congress is considering forming

a special commission to study the issue. we don't want to wait on the study we're going to act now we have to start breaking down systemic racism and barriers that have killed people of color and especially african-americans there's a reason why the founders of free was created our government the way that they did there's a reason why the united states senate is supposed to be there as suppose that upper house of our congress to make sure that just because people's passions are inflamed at the moment that new laws are not created just because people are passionate about something at the moment it's supposed to deal with the more deliberative body and that's what need this needs to be deliberate if we want to have a conversation great go ahead and create commission and put it through and let it be let it be rammed through whether it's the u.s. congress or state legislatures but don't say oh we're excited about this let's make it happen there is a price to pay for. the special commission supported by democratic lawmakers

expected to examine slavery passed discriminatory policies and measures to tackle racism today these can include changes to how history is taught in america and compensation payments the bill to set up the commission was 1st put forward in 1909 then repeatedly reintroduced but never passed the executive director of an hyphenated america believes that the bill could appeal to some voters. it sounds like a great idea it doesn't really but i'll just if we go with it it sounds like a great idea now let's see how you actually make it work cindy because you know one of the trysting things to say in place is that with the $23.00 and me application they did genetic test everything what you're finding is there's a whole lot of black folks out there who aren't all black right there there's a whole lot of white folks they're not quite as white as they like to think that there's been some so ethnic mixing along the way but then here check this out in

united states a population that has a population of about 330000000 people roughly one 3rd about 100000000 people united states of america have at least one ancestor who came through ellis island and so you have people whose ancestors came to the united states long after slavery was abolished and outlawed united states so you're going to tell me that someone for example whose 'd family came from charles of aki of poland or italy or whatever like that we're going to hold them accountable for slavery when their families were not even here so do i say do i expect this to go through where 'd there is reparations in the amount that it would really be necessary in order for it to make any difference you know in no way shape or form do i believe that there's 'd going to be multiple trillions of dollars added to the federal deficit federal debt in order to give reparations to black voters but they'll form this commission this blue rope ribbon panel to give that impression and it's basically virtue signaling to black voters. u.k.

children under the age of 16 have been able to want a powerful sex change whole months online without the parents' knowledge and investigation found an easy transgender clinic was issuing prescriptions after just a few online consultations. i made a brash decision as a teenager as a lot of teenagers do trying to find confidence and happiness except now the rest of my life will be negatively affected the rules for prescribing cross sex hormones to minors in britain were tightened by the high court last year that must now be approved by 2 specialist doctors and a court order but the loophole means prescriptions issued in the e.u. are accepted in u.k. pharmacies will gender g.p.'s said it prescribe sex hormones to more than 1800 patients around one in 6 of whom are under 16 years old including a child of just 10 the founder of the clinic has been suspended since 2018 after she prescribed hormones to a 12 year old and a g.p.

defended its practices saying that not all parents supported their child's decision to change sex or psychotherapists who evans fears the long term consequences for children. we all kind of tend to on the easy answers all this in quick carcasses and so they come across this information and on the websites and transition is who sort of talk about the positive aspects of it and how great it is but but actually there isn't any kind of the longer term picture it doesn't really provide a full picture for these young people this is a medication pathway that leads to irreversible damage and it's also experimental and you know there are some serious harms that might occur. to people in their later life there is a certain politicized element to this and that i think that there isn't misinformation provided by some of the organizations. and it's been very difficult

to to speak. you know more openly about you know what is going on in the area people get afraid to comment about the situation and certainly medics clinicians get very worried about speaking out. and i bring you right up to that thanks so much for your company stick around by calling jacqueline vega will have all the latest for you in half an hour. during the vietnam war u.s. forces also bombs in neighboring laos there was a secret war. and for years the american people did not know. how fell my skin is

a. heavily bombed country per capita. human history millions of unexploded bombs still in danger lives in this small agricultural country. even today kids in laos full victims of bombs dropped decades ago is the us making amends for that tragedy and what help do the people need in that little land of mine. hello and welcome to crossfire where all things are considered on peter lavelle there is a growing consensus the biden ministration is off to

a slow start to date the new president has relied upon executive orders this is not unusual but what does set this president apart is the emphasis on what could be called weaponized empathy this administrator who has been braced awoke is the gender and all of the divisions that come up with this agenda. the discuss these issues and more i'm joined by my guests michael johns in philadelphia he has a co-founder of the u.s. tea party movement and a former white house speechwriter to president george h.w. bush in los angeles we have jamie right she is founder of the right employment lawyers and a political pundit and in oakland we have justin robert young he's host of the politics politics politics pod cast are across up rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it ok let's go to philadelphia

1st michael i think it's widely held that you know that the biden ministration has gotten off to a slow start hasn't got a lot of its appointments and they did go through the the senate was time was taken up with the impeachment the 2nd one promises like $2000.00 checks materialize but the there's been a lot of commentary about the kind of woke us that gender that's coming out of this administration it's more important about someone's background than their abilities and there's a real stress on that and playing with words no longer using illegal alien which is a legal term ok it's a legal term to a non-citizen is this a substitute for policy michel it certainly seems i think you're correct in the sense that it's been driving the agenda of the personnel on the culture of the ministration which is unfortunate because you know. we're below the methodology is a natural well you know it was nonetheless.
