1st attack and least war on the country triggering what the u.n. describes as the world's worst humanitarian catastrophe. a 21 more time for good morning from russia them review to noodle around the world this is r.t. international my name is kevin owen 1st principles over trade washington tells e.u. are lies they must be russia's nord stream to energy pipeline to europe the yet figures show when it comes to america itself importing oil from the designated enemy it's far less with the u.s. now russia's 3rd biggest crude customer even eclipsing saudi arabia his constant risk of reports. well well well look who's shopping on the russian oil
1:02 am
market the u.s. purchased record breaking volumes of russian crude in 2020 make in moscow its 3rd largest oil supplier even saudi arabia longstanding the american ally and one of the world's largest oil exporters who's left behind while this can't be true you would say the u.s. is increasingly buying a valuable commodity filling the coffers of a country it deems to be one of the most formidable foes i mean where is the logic maybe it's a mistake you know a one time thing well not really according to the u.s. energy information administration america has been renting up its oil imports from russia for the last 5 years until they finally broke a decade old record and that's despite all the hostility tension harsh rhetoric and even this you know vladimir putin you think he's a killer. or do so what prince must he pay the price he's going to pay well you'll
1:03 am
see shortly well you would say trade is above politics but wasn't the u.s. the country that bashed europeans for doing the same thing wanting to buy say gas from russia remember what they said and are still saying about north stream to the pipeline is a bad idea. bad for bad for europe or bad for the united states ultimately it's in contradiction to the use own energy security goals so let me get this straight it's a bad idea when you're a buys russian energy buy for the u.s. it's fine washington is just trying to be responsible and protect its weak european allies from russia's political leverage and its malicious energy ambitious by fearlessly grab it themselves and it's not just fossil fuel america still buys rocket engines. and pays russia to send its astronauts to the international space
1:04 am
station and also gas russian titanium for boeing plays there too but jokes aside at the end of the day oil is something that millions rely on in their day to day life electricity transportation you name it and if the u.s. so desperately needs extra fuel for its people it and ready to buy it from its perceived enemy there is probably a good reason for it at least that's what i thought but it appears that the u.s. had to turn to the russian energy market largely because their own sanctions had suffocated oil production in venezuela its historic trading partner u.s. refineries in the gulf of mexico are some of the most sophisticated plants in the world having lost venezuelan crude and facing a less and more expensive feedstock from the traditional opec suppliers they have become a major customer for russian fuel oil as a substitute so to recap the u.s.
1:05 am
shuts down one oil producer says it was a bad guy realizes it now doesn't have enough or oil turns to another producer says well you're a bad guy too but i'm going to buy stuff from you anyway at the same time it tries to intimidate all other customers for doing exactly what they are doing so much for trademark american diplomacy that as joe biden says is now back. well mixed messages on energy on the only thing raising eyebrows by the way to see the right now after 2 months in office joe budden finally held his 1st news conference than diddly but many were left on the well with critics noting that i understand why aides were loath to put him in front of the cameras we're going to take a check on that later in the program but this next. to covert again. in the sentence say they're catching dozens of queue jumpers fraudulently trying to get the job every day the scammers often pretend to be from health workers although
1:06 am
official proof is needed when they arrive before that anyone can book a slot one pharmacist 2 runs one of the london centers described the problem in a bit more detail to us. this is very scary small percentage of people doing this but. if you take taken us all sites he's going on at the demands to more people i suppose at the moment straining about 10 or 12 people a week because effectively they're taking up their booking in and claiming to be and then when they come they have no they all have no idea with them or no relevant i.d. . and they can sometimes make claims about what they do or who they are which are. incorrect and someone who came in last week. when i asked him for what he did he said he was a pharmacist. which i am so it was a bit of a strange thing to choose but when i asked him where he works he wasn't overly clear and then when i asked him for his registration number he couldn't give me the
1:07 am
registration number that he would that he would have as an as a rich pharmacist in here in the u.k. so he's really apparent that he was trying to jump the queue wouldn't you financially we told him straight away that i'm afraid that you didn't qualify and he left she left a pharmacy the number of people booking appointments has doubled after authorities predicted to the shot shortages of than a month they blame production problems on a surge in covert cases in india which is now keeping more supplies sonny says queue jumpers are hurting others and themselves at the same time. well it just means that unfortunately we're wasting slots that could be used by those that are retired to vaccine and just slows down the vaccine program because if people are using or booking slots that they're not entitle to they say it stops other people from booking their slots and that just slightly slows down the the whole vaccination program and actually delays the time by which they will be vaccinated because obviously the fact they've used that's not the factor has meaning is just
1:08 am
on the appropriate means that those people that have to wait longer to have their vaccine the best thing that could happen is that ideally that the national cookie system as part of the checks when you book keane is to ask for some form of proof which would very far in the identity of the person seeking to make the booking and verify their entitle meant under health or social care because that would make my life a lot easier because i wouldn't have to spend my time watching rechecking that that eligibility because it would have been done on my behalf before they got to me. there's been a sharp rise in french students forced to turn to free or subsidized food from support groups restaurants and supermarkets holding on that this morning charlotte dubinsky from one paris help center where they can buy cheap meals. every day this canteen is packed with students all coming in here to pick up
1:09 am
a hot meal as the covert crisis continues to point to groups have been hit hard by the pandemic many are now without work and the means to support themselves demand for financial help from a public service the student life which also runs services like this canteen has increased sharply every week around 40000 meals are being distributed to students in paris by this organization meals they can take home and heat up later or meals that they can take out now and eat because they're horton ready all at the price of one euro now that's been in place since january as a system to help those students who are really in need demand is so high that cruise has partnered with other organizations in a bid to reach more students in trouble. we have 0 of many students turn into words different types of aid wonderfully social services deliveries for example for
1:10 am
buying food essential things needed in the supermarket and that is effectively increasing at enormous rate the demand is there it's not just help with filling their bellies that's needed many students feel isolated with some 60 percent saying that they're suffering with mental health issues well it's hard to be in your room . in front of your computer you don't see anything else than your own computer and your small room for 1st year students they were not necessarily able to meet people they found themselves alone they don't have the motivation to go to college they say to themselves well what am i going to go there for it is very hard to. to come here to live alone or. if you don't know anyone who lives in the same house as. alone for. now it's like 11 hours of the day off
1:11 am
in my room in the evening and i just start crying who has also put in services to assist those students who feel alone we do a lot to fight against isolation we have put in place student mentors in every residents who work with us and who know the residents they go door to door make phone calls and take in the new students it's much more efficient if it is done by they peers and not by ours because they're dropped more easily they're able to speak freely to find out if they are not doing well or even have difficulties but we also work with partners for psychological support for example the sessions that are prepared by a cruise with a psychologist via telecontrol taishan student please for 8 have seen many rally around the restauranteurs have been offering free meals while in supermarkets shoppers are being asked to donate an item towards a solidarity bag but there is still a feeling that they have been left aside by those in authorities and after
1:12 am
a year of living of the strain through cove it and with still no end in sight there are now fears that entire generation of students could be lost charlotte even r.t. paris. yemen is marking 6 years now since the coalition airstrikes. the world's most disastrous humanitarian crisis correspondent orgasm reports. one of the most surreal experiences i've ever had in it was owed was when we flew to yemen's capital sanaa as we were lending we were greeted looking out the window with rules and rules kilometers of destroyed the aircraft passenger jets locker room a bleed to rated where they stood by the saudi led coalition not a sight you wouldn't see when you were coming into lad and that was in the early days of the war before the death toll spiraled into the hundreds of thousands.
1:13 am
1:14 am
ask them to invade his own country to get him back into power hundreds of thousands of dead later it's a blood soaked stalemate and desperation for the victory the sides have resorted to desperate measures fighting forces on both sides have suffered heavy losses in this unnecessary battle i see shocking reports as i am sure we all do of children increasingly getting drawn into the war effort and deprived of their few. yemen is the battleground between saudi arabia and iran both support different sides buth desperate to win in fact the coalition led by saudi arabia has an active blockade of yemen vessels with food and medicine has seized and the arrested starvation is rife nice year more than 2000000 children will go hungry about a quarter of them are projected to starve to death 400000 under the age of
1:15 am
5 will die this year famine like conditions are emerging across yemen and the answer is simple we have a vaccine for this it's called food so we need to save lives this funding you need only a couple of things to stop this about 2000000000 dollars in funding just peanuts when you consider how many lives could be saved and at least a temporary peace to get the food to the people so the saudis of proposed with with a lot of fire and print which the who the rebels rejected. that we announced to succeed you can issue to address all current problems and move towards a comprehensive political solution to the yemeni crisis in hostilities resolve humanitarian issues and instill hope for all yemeni people across the country. saudi arabia is our number one enemy here and there are for won't serve the
1:16 am
interests of the yemeni people they are only trying to use media propaganda to get what they were not able to acquire with arms and no doubt we are not accepting this offer given the depths that the belligerence of sunk to gain any advantage in this war had stiff a call to imagine peace said need time soon armies of saudi mercenaries would have to be removed bombs and mines that will take decades to clear the legions of child soldiers that would have to. be disarmed and we have billets hated vast parts of the country that would have to be rebuilt the humanitarian crisis prices in yemen has been photographed and for a. time now a war has destroyed public infrastructure disrupted life. and public service. and immediate needs mission right since i meet the international community to come together and push the conflict it
1:17 am
to a common ground because yemenis have endured at the unbearable conditions over the past 6 years and this this needs to end yemen is without a doubt the most talked about humanitarian catastrophe unfolding today oh sure once in a while some leader pays lip service to what's happening pretty words that sound good to home camera this war has to end. and to underscore our commitment we are in need all american support for offensive operations in the war in yemen including relevant arms sales pretty words after 6 years of arming the devising it assisting saudi arabia in yemen the us has decided to pull out of offensive operations the us navy is and will continue to be part of the naval blockade that's condemning hundreds of thousands of kids to death by manmade starvation this is the worst
1:18 am
kind of war the kind you can't win you card lose and you current and. the people watch this president biden's finally face the media them but after months of waiting for his 1st formal news conference many journalists are left disappointed with even copious reams of cheat sheet apparently failing to save his performance to be true. finally after 2 long months biden has finally given us something that can actually be described as a press conference he heroically spends a whole hour talking to actual live reporters on a range of subjects like vaccinations the it's all trump's fault migrant crisis getting out of afghanistan eventually the north korean threat and so on but unfortunately much of the events was either mind numbingly dull or well went as
1:19 am
well as you would expect. who. were in my hear. you know those awkward family dinners where their creepy uncle goes off on an incoherent rants well judging by biden's public appearances that's what white house staff go through every day as soon as it was great to be here and there. was no use for. you know we tried it is not in iraq is not workers are not going to try i mean in iran and choose me for drugs in ukraine my physical mental my physical as well as my mental so fitness no wonder they try to keep him in the basement as much as possible every time he goes out in public it's either another me more of the gaff or the almost classic at this point the truest approach i think it's time for those of us to leave but i guess they figured they can't hide him
1:20 am
forever hence the press conference with quotation marks because c'mon if this was any more scripted it would be a hollywood movie biden was literally reading his answers off a gigantic stack of papers he kept flipping through them and still got lost all the time is the reason why a lot of immigrants are coming to live. with the country i see while many are beginning to see this whole presidency as a form of elder abuse biden himself seems really confidence he even said he's going to go for a 2nd term he also just made some news by saying that you are going to run for reelection in pursuit of that as my expectation yeah share. historian gerald holmes says he's more worried anyway about the content of the u.s. president's notes and the fact he had to read them as is well known are biden is a gaffe machine he does not have a gift of gab he oftentimes twists his sentences and of course he did the same
1:21 am
thing at this particular press conference so i think that his handlers would like to keep him as far away from the press and this kind of structured environment as possible i would salute the most worrisome aspect is foreign policy in a fact that came up during this press conference where once again mr bitin saw fit to insult the chinese president saying that he does not have a democratic bone in his body and has also managed to threaten sanctions against not only germany because of its importing natural gas from russia but threatening sanctions against india because it supposedly plans to buy defense materiel from russia even though mr biden and the u.s. will be relying upon india as part of this and circumvent plan against china so i think that the most worrisome aspect of this and coming by the ministration is foreign policy and let's hope that he can improve the. thousands of

people most of need to care in the u.k. are being let down by the health care system according to damning report by the national load it all face the challenges presented by the pandemic have only made things worse suppose. high quality care is critical to the well being of some of the most vulnerable adults in society yet levels of unpaid care remain high to many of us have unmet needs and forecasts predicts growing demand for care the report finds the covert crisis has further exposed deficiencies in the health care system while it was underfunded even before the pandemic 20 years of delayed reforms are now contributing to a critical situation. yet the u.k. department of health promises to deal with current obstacles and come up with a care system suitable for the future it will provide more funding to support the sector in the coming years some experts say though many families have been neglected by the government during the pandemic by saying what we have to do now is understand why the u.k.
1:23 am
has on his debt right in europe and we've got to thank you 2 mistakes from from happening again if they should happen again we we have seen in our presidential mount stanley's care blacks and managers counter mustering is and yet and they maintain old thanks leszek injury to the n.h.s. right at the start. and. we get many charities contrast. specially during the 1st 2nd. way we also had. really serious decision all this challenging patient strong hospitals in chip care how do. we read that text. schoolteacher in northern england has been suspended after showing pupils a cartoon of the prophet muhammad during a lesson protests are gathered outside the school calling for the teacher to be sacked nice rally. a religious studies teacher at a school in west yorkshire in the north of england has been suspended after showing
1:24 am
his pupils a picture of the prophet mohammed during class now of course when it comes to the islamic religion any depictions of the prophet mohammed is considered to be. due to a backlash by a number of parents of some children in that class the school took action and the head teacher gary kimball releasing a statement apologizing to the local community for any offense caused the school unequivocally apologizes for using a totally inappropriate resource in a recent lesson the member of staff has also given their most sincere apologies we have immediately withdrawn teaching on this part of the course and we are reviewing how we go forward with the support of all the communities represented in our school . letter didn't deter least 100 protesters from turning up at the school when it was due to open in the morning now those protesters stood outside the
1:25 am
school they called for an investigation in to the teachers some of them calling for him to be sacked but they were also addressed by a local a man who said that he was in contact with the school and dialogue with them and calling for an investigation to be carried out what happened here we are disgusted what has happened is totally unacceptable and we have made sure they are aware the teacher has been suspended they can't just sack him they need to do their due process we've asked for an investigation and investigation to be independent we are going to work with the school to make sure things like these don't happen of course those protests by those parents peaceful but of course disruptive but in the past we have seen the issue of the cartoons of the prophet mohammed sparking wide debate particularly in the wake of the charlie hebdo attack and so. like these will only serve to continue to spark that debate whether one does have free speech to draw
1:26 am
pictures of anyone offensive as they may be or whether there is a line that can be crossed when it comes to not offending people not just in terms of religion but also the wider sense of safe spaces and other issues to do with free speech that we've seen rising up not just in the u.k. but also across europe and the west. the founder of a purposeful life charity told us the teacher should apologize. we should not be hurting abusing people and hiding behind freedom of speech we have seen at the teacher has been in question has been suspended and has been a an apology from the headmaster however we've not had an apology from the teacher which speaks volumes. and as far as i'm concerned you know suspension isn't enough and in this type of sadistic behavior in a castle which children should not be accepted as quite simply logic here had it
1:27 am
been a mistake i think the teacher in question would have apologized but he signed up and apologized the fact that he still silent or not apologized i screen shows it wasn't a mistake and he stands by what he's done so speaking with the with the with the parents of the context was there was a cartoon shown. of the prophet peace be upon him with a point on his turban and i think the teacher was trying to reckon example of teaching blasphemy and ridiculous we are teaching a subject by insulting to women in 2000000000 muslims around the world. so far thanks watch it as he took home right of a social strike the day for anything else we're talking about already breaking news as well of course it's 27 hours minutes past the hour of a great that. an
