go ahead. germany imposes yet another round of polish. political profiteering from face sales. with the health minister himself in the firing line. protesters hit the streets across europe against painful new lockdown measures on the program people tell us why they just take it anymore. we no longer know which flew to stand on the little lost soul of the. district's life so much we are here in castle today because all the measures being taken here in germany no longer serve the people. no longer has any relations with the e.u. as an organization. makes

a stunning revelation in the wake of snobs. also. until now u.s. faces journalists. in another country. happening in the united states journalists warn the biden administration is stopping them from filming the migrant crisis as the u.s. grapples with the biggest. decades. well a very warm welcome to you from all of us here at the international in moscow was just after 3 pm on the. german chancellor angela merkel has warned the situation in the country is very serious and she announced a new round of nationwide restrictions told the middle of april that includes a ban on all gatherings the closure of shops effectively shutting down the public activity over the easter holiday. even used in

a situation which is very serious the number of cases is rising exponentially and intensive care the bad not again. it comes after a german research is there to confirm the country had and today a 3rd wave of infections last week saw the highest number of daily coronavirus cases in 2 months and now a massive corruption scandal over face mosques has reached the very top with the health minister himself facing serious questions. peter all of a. the federal government here in berlin has extended covert 19 restrictions across the whole country but that is amid a mask crisis which is ensnared a new face the german health minister a report over the weekend in the online version of news magazine dish claimed again spawn authorized the purchase of more than half a 1000000 masks from a company called bird bird as berlin boss mr spawn's husband himself down your

phone care the company insists mr frewen care had nothing to do with this transaction that no commission was paid and denies any wrongdoing whatsoever and 1st on to work toward a media that the board of hooper birds and media over the health ministry of justice systems mask perhaps you are mad when the german government wants an urgent need for this the c.e.o. of the minister directing that kind of act and the minister defends it all but that means that the board a representative in berlin mr from was not informed about the mask business neither by his company nor his husband who had been the direct contact person that contradicts common sense. and i can only repeat that according to bird there mr spawn's husband was not informed or involved in the transaction at any time but earlier version of the article had claimed the bird it was owned by the health ministers husband that was later corrected to reflect mr frewen his role as an

employee but that hasn't stopped lawmakers from seeking clarification from the health minister this salami tactic with the bit by bit information from the ministry of health about the procurement of masks undermines the trust in the institutions of our democracy it has to stop we now need an independent transparency officer to shed light on what is going on the health minister himself is biased mr spawn's allies have dismissed the article as thin soup but open. parties are circling and can smell blood the bird a publishing house owns papers leg 110 bird house a deal half a 1000000 went to spawn's health ministry burgess beilin of representatives spawn's husband birth like to attend bird parties because somehow the villar has to be paid what does one actually have to do in the merkel cabinet to be dismissed of course procurement have to be done quickly during the crisis but the wording of 4600000000

euro suave out a call for tenders is under considerable suspicion in view of the corruption scandals to a ruling coalition politicians of already fall into to personal business dealings in mosques for profit scandals but what started out as a probe into a pandemic profiteering now morphed into a wider investigation into what money german politicians have been making aside from their ministerial salaries the scandal has caused real damage to the ruling conservative union's reputation they suffered for huge historic losses in recent local elections with the green party taking up the slack in one of those areas and nationally when it comes to polling they were emerging as a real potential challenger in this september's bundestag elections in what's being called the super election year here in germany that couldn't be a worse time to have the whiff of corruption surrounding you peter all over r.t.

earlier. we discussed the situation in germany with a member of the ruling party which is embroiled in the mosques scandal it told us the country is more divided than ever and to make things worse people are pretty fed up with contradictory locked on rules from the government. germany has never been as polarized as this and in post-war history we have a gap between rich and rich and poor country and city young and old left and right nationalist and patriotic people are fed up or see a lockdowns i've just heard reports from from a different source from russia that pretty much life is back to normal it's it's tough it's one of the toughest countries in germany some of the european countries too but germany politicians are basically toppling over each other to raise the bar to make it even more difficult for people plus the vaccination council germans if they used to one thing are used to an orderly state orderly administrative

procedures and we don't see any of this and we see contradictory. administered orders we see contradictory and failing state policies so germans are fed up but they don't or all of the requisite and appropriate conclusions in the right numbers that this government has failed but the germans aren't the only ones in the e.u. increasingly frustrated with the handling of the pandemic our correspondent in paris to charlotte gave the mood of other europeans as they too want they'll no longer take economically damaging restrictions with the following images now from the weekend certainly reflecting a heavy dose of anger. on

the streets of europe these are all the scenes that have been playing out those countries what's again are announcing a fresh wave of restrictions as the 3rd wave hit rallies protesting against what they've branded health dictatorships were held from austria to sweden serbia to switzerland from poland to france demonstrators say they simply have had enough we don't know we are fed up we no longer know which flew to stand on a little lost the soul of blur we have the impression of being muzzled we're not free. we no longer have a social life this restrictions are totally useless i don't feel like i'm in logged we can go out like we want as long as we have our sophisticate so should we change the restrictions maybe. in germany more than 20000 troops to the streets in the city of care so one must protest is to cry to recent reversal on the easing the

destruction was a threat to freedoms. we are here in castle today because all the measures that are being taken here in germany no longer serve the people. i consider coronavirus to be a serious disease just like the flu which can also be very serious but to make a pandemic out of it as we are experiencing now with many restrictions on our basic rights i don't think that is justified. we want to cameron said pepper spray we used to disperse protest is the tactic was also used in the lytton's protests as was left wet but they were made. undeterred across in the u.k. in the capital of london protesters to fight a current baron on public demonstrations they demanded the rules can change the pool echoed by more than 60 news they've written to the who are so true say

formalizing people for protesting was no to acceptable or if you believe it was no proof dozens were arrested this tempers for 8. in most different turku was taken into flames just health regulations house news groups forget the place called the pull apart yes it is shut down play officials as it descended into destruction. nothing justifies destroying collective halfords to contain the virus nothing justifies desecrating the side of the root of bind building collapse nothing justifies attacking children's games and public facilities while the e.u.

is trying to tackle vaccine shortages it's admitted to making mistakes during the pandemic but have lessons been learned and i think this is a still being made on the go ahead no a very thought free. i think they're not doing a very good job at it even if it's working but by luck not really by design i think that. extends it is a lamb to bed sick of it but i think that. is the most important thing is that 0 is a new consent to say europe and a little bit i think we have learned some and we took action. the thing is you can restrict life so much easier citizens oh once again feeling the pain of tightening restrictions but often more than a year of living by the rules it seems now that more and more people believe that they are deflate do you damned if they don't. see paris.

however not every country is cracking down. 19 freedom index ranking the states territories and countries from least to most restrictions you can check it out on our home for all of your news and analysis you will be surprised by some of the places on the list. so russia's foreign minister has warned that relations with the e.u. as an institution are essentially dead speaking at a news conference with his chinese counterpart sergey lavrov off to brussels has killed off all cooperation. we don't have any relations with the european union as an organization the infrastructure of further relations was destroyed by unilateral decisions from brussels well it certainly isn't business as usual business as usual has been dead since 2014 foreign minister sergey lavrov specified

because that's when all these new all meetings annual consultation summits between senior our profile russian officials and european commissioners and leaders that is when they ended ever since then it's been a steep it wasn't a gradual it's been a steep decline but it is important to draw the distinction he said the relations between the european union as a as a huge bureaucratic machine soulless bureaucratic machine those are dead the relations between various european states and russia there are a lot of it in some cases very healthy but sergey lavrov did say there are there is hope because if the european union changes its outlook changes its approach decides that it wants to improve mend relations russia russia will be there but that has to happen as equals on equal footing to mutual benefit so russia isn't about to bend

over backwards to do something that europe wants especially not after not after everything that has happened in china shares much the same opinion. against china and russia but they know it's the invented pretends it is an attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of china russia a long gone result to uphold international justice remains undiminished. 'd was in beijing making a statement as he was talking to his chinese counterpart let's talk for a minute then about russia chinese relations or is that going to becoming closer and closer and they're being driven closer and closer because look at the. european union's policy towards russia for the better half of a decade the united states to it was sanctioned everything that they feasibly could it was to try and contain russia to coerce it into doing into behaving in a way that europe wants that suits european or american interest and hours of work

nothing's changed i mean they're the 1st to admit it that it hasn't worked so far but they believe it will work for some reason in the future and that is the approach they're increasingly taking towards china because we've heard multiple times in recent years that from european from american officials that it's china not russia that's the potential big threat of the future china's g.d.p. its economy its military spending its population all clips that of russia and lately the biggest scandal was that the european union has now put into effect sanctions against china for its treatment of the we good people who are violating apparently their rights the chinese have protested this they have summoned the european ambassador told him in writing in word but nevertheless there is little or hope that europe will change its attitude in the immediate future and to say lavrov commenting on russian sino russian relations he says

there's a whole lot more chance an opportunity in the east than there is in the west. the european union destroyed all mechanisms to re have been trying to build over many years we have us partners individual european countries guided by their national interests and that objective leads to the fact that our relations with china are developing faster than what is left of relations with european countries both countries of course insist on loosening getting rid of this sanctions regime that has blown up in europe in the united states over the last decade or so but they also. said that you know looking looking into the future when in the future some european commission drafts yet another report about potential threats in the future and says it's incredibly worried about russia and china growing very close politically militarily that it should look back to this moment to this moment when

it sanctioned both countries and drew them together but what i what i see are speaking to my colleague kevin now in just a bit earlier in the program in the meantime the. more so western hostility is only hurting its own population. the eulogy used to deal with russia just after it and he's got. the policy of the european union is going to do as you say you know from our point of view you see there is a problem in the united states it's in their d.n.a. to look for enemies they only need to find enemies now is china. they're not enemies they have they're more their enemies you know as we see as the postman between china and russia now the european union or you look in counties of new he's until sort of the united states there is no we that you can do something from the german french italian or interview you have to do it from the european union are you looking noonan says b c which is blinded by. she's the one of the. who are still up and coming on the

program here on our see us judge warns practically the entire media now echoed democratic party narratives as a poll reveals trust outlets is plummeting for that story after a short break. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the day. we. ask.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. theory dramatic. only really. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down in. 20 posture in the russian capital the u.s. is struggling with an unprecedented migrant crisis on the southwestern border a record $5000.00 unaccompanied children alone are reportedly being held in border patrol custody investigative journalism group project veritas has released shocking

images from a migrant facility in texas 3000 immigrants have been kept and wrapped in space blankets 50 of the refugees are believed to have tested positive for covert in the last few days alone the managing editor of project told us more. there is a major influx of illegal immigrants and that according to the source mind you 50 of them are coded positive that sexual assaults in physical assault take place daily our sources told us that there is many as 3000 migrants in this facility and donna texas at one time they're very cramped from the photographs you can see it's very spartan living there's not a lot of mats or beds or cots they are living in a difficult very tight spot it looks like a nightmare it looks like like something out of a fiction novel you can look back as far as comments from this administration encouraging people to rush to the border encouraging people to climb any barriers

just any way you can over it under it get in and we will take care of you a plain and simple people are coming over sick or not legal or not and they're being processed and it's being done in an awful matter now that we've uncovered the conditions here but it just seems like mass chaos and yes there is a kind of a carrot and it seems gearing up. the democratic party know america has also released images from the same city in texas migrants including youngsters are being held in overflow facilities and cramped into conditions hundreds of children have allegedly been stranded in patrol custody across the area for more than 10 days ultimately breaking old guidelines and border crossings from mexico face a 20 year high record presenting a difficult challenge for the by the administration however by the white house as play down the emergency. children presenting at our border who are

fleeing violence or flaying prosecution who are fleeing terrible situations is not a crisis well it just points we've got washington d.c. officials going back and forth about whether or not what's happening at the border is really a crisis we've got biden promising that he will visit the border meanwhile we've got the border officials and leaders of the democratic party in congress urging the administration to get back to reality take their share of the blame for the policies that seem to have the momentum this crisis and really get a grip on what is happening you have a breach on national security levels that have never before been seen in modern history it just blows my mind how disconnected from reality they are or maybe they do know maybe they just don't want to call a spade a spade you know because it's uncomfortable it's a slap in the face i think they're you just want to let you know what's going on we

need to get a handle on this before against out of hand even within a week i was already calling the white house to say hey guys you've got to take a look at it it's when you create a system that incentivizes people to come across and they're released that immediately sends a message to central america that if you come across you can stay while there are big calls for the administration to get things under control and start responding to what many are calling a crisis it seems like the biden administration. does not want there to be media access to what is happening on the border and the us facilities that have been set up one journalist was quite outraged about the fact that he had to go to another country just to take photographs of what was happening here in the united states he had to stand on one side of the border i respectfully ask u.s. customs and border protection to stop blocking media access to their border operations i have photographed c.b.p. under bush a bomb and trump but now 0 access is granted to media these long lens images taken

from the mexican side until now u.s. faces journalists have needed to stand in another country to photograph what's happening in the united states how many will recall that while donald trump was president photographs of children held in facilities detention facilities that were set up during the obama administration were widely circulated and there was mass discussion and outrage about you know what they referred to in the media as kids in cages and there was widespread visiting of the facilities your recall congresswoman alexandria because you know cortez had a well publicized visit to the detention facility and there was widespread coverage but the biden administration seems to be rather adamant that it is simply not appropriate to give the media access and to publicize what is going on at the u.s. borders i don't necessarily think that it's appropriate for a journalist to be inside centers that are at that aren't are not permanent place

places for children that children are not placed there permanently now white house spokesperson jen psaki says that the biden ministration is very committed to what she calls trans parents sick but it seems like when it comes to the situation at the border it's much better to divert people's eyes and change the subject and try to avoid bringing attention to something that is to resolve a situation that many are referring to as a crisis. it is r.t. a senior us federal judge has accused practically the country's entire media from t.v. to newspapers and radio of being puppets of the democratic party the public appears to agree with most now saying outlets support political positions rather than inform. the increased power of the press is so dangerous today because with very close to one party control of these institutions the new york times and washington post virtually democratic party broadsheets nearly all television network in cable

is a democratic party trumpet a democratic party trumpet i mean what to make saturation it's not like they treated his inauguration as the 2nd coming of christ well they were just excited once i was actually in the white house they saw this throwing the tough questions at him. out of them or not to my current crisis that me just not all that but they did go wild of those weird c.g.i. hands or maybe they were just expecting the other president and president harrison i took a virtual tour of vaccination centers on a i will admit though that seldom that's what great in times of timing because remember that bombshell recording with donald trump pressuring elections investigated georgia to find him ballots so you wouldn't have to move out of the white house while the recording revealed that the post misquoted trump's comments on the cool based on information provided by

a source did not tell the investigator to find the frauds or say she would be a national hero if she did so instead transferred to the investigates to scrutinize ballots as in she would find dishonesty there. you will notice that establishment media errors missions mistakes and outright lies always slanted one way against me and against republicans meanwhile stories that heard democrats or undermined their narratives are buried ignored or delayed until they can do the least harm media outlets should be regarded as political entities not journalistic enterprise us but that's just an exception because when it came to trump the washington post was very sad and honest and objective unbalanced and anyway trump had fox news on his side always share leading yes i have heard how some democrats want cable companies to drop fox news one american news network on newsmax but maybe they shouldn't spread conspiracy theories no i'm not interested in what silberman said he should be borne

in mind that the 1st step taken by any potential tarion or dictatorial regime has to gain control of communications particularly the delivery of news it is fair to conclude therefore that one party control of the press and media is a threat to a viable democracy well that's a huge saturation no one watches the news anymore anyway it's all about social media just that one twitter not a democrat party trump it to be seen silicon valley also has an enormous influence over the distribution of news and it simply filters news delivery in ways favorable to the democratic party and although upstart conservative networks have emerged in recent years their visibility has been decidedly tailed boys social media he that by direct bans or content based censorship well that's not true what about paula what do you mean apple amazon and google while i'm sure it was for a good reason and as the censoring content yes that was the one time that twitter

brought that one link to the new york post article about hunter biden's business dealings but it's a little like it was a big story that could've i don't know sladen. lection and anyway there are all the hard hitting stories to report on. some media pundits warn that that could trigger an assassination attempt so anyway it's a 10 told mystery to me why faith in the u.s. media is an all time low thanks for joining us here on this tuesday we are back syria with more.

i am max ties or this is the kaiser report you know the jig is up station yeah you know on the last episode when you were talk to michael plant he and stan brock and miller have radically different views on the dollar and bonds and stuff like that and ray deleo was also mentions and i have this quote from him that i think is interesting and it's kind of what we've already said for a while now kaiser for em in a very very poor way he said it investing and bongs has become stupid says ray dahlia oh the suspect.
