2 eyes 2 ears and one mouth. so you should be seen here and a whole lot more than you're saying if you don't take that advice easy going to dig yourself. reduced to one meal a day and a growing mental health crisis stuck in isolation students in france and in vast numbers aid groups offering free or subsidized food. nation centers fight surging numbers of fraudsters and queue jumpers is britain braces for a job drugs. they're wasting slots that could be used by those that are in charge of vaccine and just slows down the vaccine program. is grim anniversary it's 6 years to the day now since the 1st saudi led attack and least war on my country

triggering what the u.n. describes as the world's worst humanitarian catastrophe still. do as i say not as i do but washington is principle as it tries to stymie russian energy sales to europe yet at the same time makes the country's biggest oil partner. from moscow just turned 11 am here kevin owen at artie's world news center for the next hour thanks for checking in with us so 1st as you heard in those headlines has been a sharp rise in french students forced to turn to free or subsidized food from support groups restaurants and supermarkets. reports from one paris health center where they offer help to buy cheap meals. every day this canteen is packed with students all coming in here to pick up

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 their 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

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. if you don't know anyone who lives in the same house as. alone. now it's 11 hours of the day off

in my room in the evening and i just start crying has also put in service is to assist those students who feel alone we do a lot to fight against isolation we have put in place student mentors in every residence 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 the peers and not by ours because they're dept 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 teleconference. student pleas for aid 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 in all 3 year of living of the string 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. while birthparent in mind france's buckling under a 3rd wave of coronavirus the highest rate hospitalizations this year the health minister has imposed limits on outdoor gathering some pledged even tough measures if necessary government suspension of the astra zeneca vaccines also been criticised for a slogan inoculation campaign meantime over the channel british inoculations their coaching dozens of queue jumpers for allegedly trying to get the job every day the scammers often pretend to be frontline health workers or the official proof needed when they arrive anyone can book a slot online in advance a pharmacist who runs one of the london centers described the problem to us. it's

very small percentage of people doing this but. if you take take your source science is going on at it amounts to more people i suppose at the moment running 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 and she. 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 were he wasn't overly clear and then when i asked him for his registration number he couldn't give me the 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 didn't effectively we

told him straightaway there are afraid that you don't qualify and he left she left a pharmacy as the number of people booking appointments has doubled after authorities predicted shot shortages within a month or blaming that on production problems and a surge in covert cases in india which is now keeping more supplies but for itself he says queue jumpers are hurting others and themselves. 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 looking for 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 outs not the factor has meaning is just 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 in 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 in title meant under health or social care because that would make my life a lot easier because i wouldn't have to spend my time rechecking that that eligibility because it would have been done on my behalf before they got to me. principles over trade washington tells a u.i. lies than they must to d.h. rush's nord stream to energy pipeline to europe yet in the same time figures show when it comes to america itself importing oil from the designated enemy is far less discerning with the u.s. now importing record amounts of russian crude artie's constantine rushkoff reports . well well well look who's shopping on the russian oil market the u.s. purchased record breaking volumes of russian crude in 2020 make in moscow its 3rd

largest oil supplier even saudi arabia a longstanding american ally and one of the world's largest oil exporters is left behind while this can 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 price must he pay the price he's going to pay will you'll see shortly well you would say trade is above politics but wasn't the us 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 by 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 engine. and pays russia to send its astronauts to the international space 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 x. roof you will for its people if it were ready to buy it from its perceived enemy there is probably a good reason for it at least that's what i thought by it appears that the us had to turn to the russian energy market largely because their own sanctions had suffocated oil production and 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. shuts down one oil producer says he 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 meantime another news up the mobile mentioning of the poultice president biden's finally face the media after months of waiting for his 1st full news conference many journalists were left bit disappointed with even copious reams of cheat sheets apparently failing to save the day and his performance to be to poke checked in. 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 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 because soon this is going to be. pleased. you know we tried it over in iraq is not workers are not going to try i mean in iran and choose me for drugs in ukraine my physical mental. 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 the gaff

or the almost classic at this point i think through exposed i think it's time for those of us to leave a say. but i guess they figured they can't hide him forever hence the press conference with quotation marks because 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 rent i see while many are beginning to see this. presidency as a form of elder abuse by 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 and i said that is my expectation yeah cher as is well known of our 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 thing at this particular press conference so i think that his handlers would like to keep him as far away from the press kind of structured environment as possible i would salute the most worrisome aspect is foreign policy in effect 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 that the most worrisome aspect of this and coming by the ministration is foreign policy and let's hope that he can improve. international hello happy days going good at 16 now because to amongst the stories

that were ahead this one on screen u.k. teacher has suspended for showing pupils a cartoon of the prophet muhammad it's prompted protests and even threats from parents coming up. when we watch movies i think they typically make us worry about the wrong thing they make us worry about robots turning evil but the real threat of a vast artificial intelligence is not that it turns evil but just at a time. very competent but has goals that are not aligned with our goals. is you'll media a reflection of reality. in

a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation full community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maid in the shallows. yemen is marking 6 years since saudi led coalition airstrikes war on the world's most disastrous humanitarian crisis the senior correspondent were gassed if 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 latin day and we were greeted looking out the window with rules and rules kilometers of destroyed and croft passenger jets locker room a bleed to rated where they stood by the saudi led coalition not a sight you want to see when you're coming into lad and that was in the early days of the war but for the death toll spiraled into the hundreds of thousands.

like cool wars the war in yemen is complicated the gist of it is after the arab spring told build a dictator who had ruled for 3 decades his replacement was his vice president who happened to be very pro saudi people revolted again so he rattled to saudi arabia and asked 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 at the arrested starvation is rife these year more than 2000000 children will go hungry about a quarter of them are projected to starve to death 400000 under the age of 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 says 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 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 i just difficult 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 billet 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 looking for a structure disrupted likelihoods and public service needs an immediate new mission right since i meet the international community to come together and push the conflict it 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

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 u.s. has decided to pull out of offensive operations the u.s. 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 kind of war the kind you can't when you card lose and you current and. place to temporarily closed the road outside the u.k. school where parents protested against their religion teaches showing images by and then there is. a rally reports. a religious studies teacher at a school in west yorkshire in the north of england has been suspended after showing 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 muslim 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 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 mom 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 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 incidents like these will only serve to continue to spark that debates whether one does have free speech to draw pictures of anyone offensive as they may be or whether there is a line that can't be crossed. but which way the school's decision to suspend the

teacher with controversy is what our experts have. i think what we're saying is an extremely wiring capitulation on behalf of establishments in the west both schools governments and the international courts as well capitulate. to the need not to offend islam and it's extremely worrying you know islam should be no different from the other religions we are a democratic society that embraces freedom of expression embraces free speech and these schools really need to start standing up for those values they need to start saying that freedom of expression only really matters when it is pushing up against what is offensive to some people we should not be hurting abusing people and hiding behind freedom of speech we have seen up to the teacher has been to question has been suspended and there's been. an apology from the headmaster however we've not had an apology from the teacher quite simply not to hear how could be

a mistake i think to teach encroaches would have apologized put his hand up and apologized the fact that he still silence or not apologize clearly shows it wasn't a mistake it kind of stands by what he's delicate so speaking with the with the with the parents that the context was that was a cartoon show or. of the prophet peace be upon him which is appalling on his temperament and i think the teacher was trying to make an example of teaching blasphemy and ridiculously or teaching a subject like assaulting 2 men in 2000000000 muslims around the world. they had to facebook twitter and google a face to 5 a grilling from lawmakers for selling political discord and failing to tackle misinformation is a 1st such hearing that under the by administration. your platform bears some responsibility for disseminating disinter mation yes or no do you bear some responsibility for what happened congressman our responsibility is to make sure

that we build effective systems to maybe. not the answer the question today our laws give these companies and their leaders a blank check to do nothing rather than limit the spread of this information facebook google and twitter have created a business models that exploit the human brain preference instead we woke up tomorrow and decided to ask the government to tell us what content to take down or leave up we may end up with a service that can be used to question the government it facebook we do a lot to fight misinformation we remove content that could lead to imminent real world harm you have the meets but time after time you are picking engagement and profit over the health and safety of your users our nation and our democracy the system isn't perfect but it's the best approach that we've found to address misinformation in line with our country's values you can fix this but you choose not to that people often say things that are verifiably true but that speak to their lived experiences i think we have to be careful restricting that if you think

the back scenes work one of your companies a lot of accounts that repeatedly offend your back seem to assume promotion policies commissioner yes we do have a policy against allowing the i don't have the smallest aside stumped to date you still have 12 people on your site doing this when you take them down congressman i want you to look at the good and have our team look at the exact examples we need rules regulations technical experts in government. congress members say they may finally change a key u.s. internet law then called section 230 which shields big tech from responsibility for what people post on the platforms on the giants are the single biggest spenders on political lobbying in the united states with varying amounts of factual pale rasmussen is the aeration center expert group told us and therefore inevitably makes it hard for politicians to reform the sector it's the political theater it's basically pieces the pieces every want to make it look like they're doing something

i mean maybe they maybe they will do something but i doubt it i don't see them doing away with section 230 which gives basically immunity and gives big check the right to do almost anything they want without any liability right now that big checks are not really in support of freedom of speech and that and the truth that it's it's their agenda that's that's basically driving the train right now both on the political side and and the information side to the public hearings going to continue because hearings are attention grabbers a lot of this stuff this is targeted for for political me big tech needs to be reined in the some degree. what what could be done one i think looking at section $230.00 and the relevance of that perhaps looking at regulatory action like we did with like we do with a lot of energy companies will let you know the proposal gets over that's it for now check it out to the.
