you know our top stories of the last week little money for food and a growing mental health crisis a stark isolation from it's turned into vast numbers of groups offering free subsidized meals. a drug called. the washington post ridiculed for parents of so-called. toddlers. we have to do something for me instead of being naive. talking about. baby each just. as i say not as i do trying to force europe to stop a major russian energy project makes moscow one of its biggest partners. and

thousands of migrants a film that overcrowded camps on the u.s. . president to refugee crisis. live from moscow with me. today welcome to the program. first up this week we reported there's been a sharp rise in french students forced to tons of free or subsidized food from support groups restaurants and supermarkets. was one paris health center where they can buy cheaper 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 we have preserved 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 increase in 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 but 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 for. now it's like 11 hours of the day 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 dept more easily they're able to speak freely they find out if they are not doing well or even have difficulty this student pleas for aid have seen many rally around them 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 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. arty paris the cobra the crisis that sparked the student's difficulties shows no sign of ending and they use at loggerheads with britain after attempting to block a vaccine exports the french president waded into the dispute support the export control mechanism sits up by the european commission i support the fact that we

must block produced exports on to look their commitments to europeans i don't think that blockades. either vaccines or. medicines are. sensible. versions reportedly close to a deal with brussels the sun later moved the threat of the block cutting off shot supplies into the u.k. would forgo some long term deliveries of the astra zeneca job from the e.u. this comes after earlier this week u.s. regulators forced astra zeneca to admit its vaccine was less effective than it claimed microbiologist simon clark told us it will hit confidence in the pharmaceutical giant. fundamental tenet in science that you don't pick and choose which day to you chris but it appears that for some reason that's what's happened we don't know why they found that but it. always raises suspicions

when people try to ignore the data gets perhaps not so good in favor of good data that is that we should remember that it's only a 3 percent difference for mild moderate and no difference at all for the most serious life threatening conditions not everybody and i would say relatively few people pick up on the fact that the difference is small they pick up on the fact there is a difference and that astra zeneca have essentially been accused of cherry picking data so that's what people hear is a confidence it may put confidence in the company and i think it's highly likely that it will. cause people to question the efficacy of the vaccine. meanwhile several e.u. states such as germany are waiting for the lox medicines watchdog to approve the sputnik leave axing some members including slovakia and czech republic and hungary have jumped the gun low before the regulators green line already vaccinated more than a 1000000 citizens with the russians shot among them is hungary's foreign minister

in an interview with r.t. in the week he explained why his country was the 1st e.u. nation to approve the vaccine. vaccine is not a question of ideology for us is a matter of saving lives and if we had mark on track. the chinese and russian vaccine have saved the health care and their health and the lives of many hungry and the hungry a national regulator has approved the emergency use authorization for so i have no concern i was the one. that asked by our government to negotiate with the russians on the ration of our purchasing. i have started going to going to be the minister. back at the end of october before i got to actually and after a long series of negotiations of we were able to sign our contract we share our

house a lot in accelerating the vaccination in hungary you said it's rightly more than 1400000 now today this morning even more than 1500000 have already been vaccinated. i. and meanwhile skeptics are right across europe this weekend a modern entity with frictions u.k. and he looked on protests clashed with officers and tried to break through a police line in the danish capital activists stressed them blacklists flares and fireworks to protest the government's virus reaction hundreds also came out against the government's response in the german city of new york but. all german chancellor angela merkel took just the day to make a complete u. turn on deeply unpopular plans for a strict lockdown over into. says day the fast of april as well as the set of

april should be defined as calm days with extensive contact restrictions and a ban on gatherings from the 1st to the 5th of april. the idea was a mistake this mistake is my mistake alone a mistake must be called a mistake and above all it must be corrected at the same time of course i know that this whole matter trygaeus more incessant i regret that deeply and apologize to all citizens. original proposal had been panned by both the business and scientific community and was reversed the author of crisis meeting a member of merkel's ruling party told us people are tired of the government's contradictions in the pandemic. people are fed up with c a lockdown as 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's 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 policies so germans are fed up but they don't draw the requisite and appropriate conclusions in the right numbers that this government has failed. parity your never young to be progressive the washington post has guided parents to books websites and companies offering material for very young children the future title social justice for toddlers heights the importance of equality racial and gender education for kids and the report materials like a drag queen website books like anti racist baby and baby and the firm selling toys and learning materials to dismantle. many of the advice divisive and even harmful.

can we just teach children to walk talk or play before we start hoisting our deal to near office on them indoctrination is wrong washington post this conversation is one that divides us universal identity is what should be centered not race not gender this generation of kids is going to need decades of therapy after going through this critical race theory one half of them will just crumble under the white guilt pushed into them and turn into fragile ghosts barely resembling human beings the other half will just get radicalized. we got reaction to the washington post article from talk radio host john gaunt and the way when bennett of unite against fascism. can i just check the calendar is a prove the 1st this is a complete and utter joke listen when kids are through for they want to play with each other and they should be encouraged how we as modern parents or

grandparents should not be reinforcing prejudice our prejudices if we have them on to the children of course it's important to show kids by example that you're not racist or homophobic or sexist i would agree with all of that but produce him pokes for 3 year olds talking about arm awoke baby it's just absolute nonsense the whole of america has laughed at the washington post 3 year olds don't buy books john parents are books because what we're trying to do is to try and develop human beings to respect each other it's not automatic and what with the what the washington post are trying to do is have a discussion about how we develop people and that included parents so parents can be parenting but don't fear it alone they label it start to try and bring up a better generation the previous generation that we have to do something. instead of being naive about that happens as moses tried to instill and key races where

equality treatment or nonsexist behavior whatever it's not society is going to be very very difficult job we have to start somewhere you don't started 3 years old with a drag queen or have a huge new termes read in them bedtime stories at 3 years old the washington post have been ridiculed this is the wont sector the work sector trying to push their agenda on to 3 year olds well i'm sorry it's not needed it's not necessary if you come from racism if if you come across and sexism and if there's a problem in schools let's address that but please for goodness sake let. heartless be toddlers actually trying to teach our children to be legal equality of only age it's never too early yet we normalize this is our human being's behavior and actually we can probably have a better generation that doesn't carry the previous sins of the previous other

generation since the 16th so true this whole idea that i should feel guilty for the sins of previous generations well no i'm not going to pass that guilt on to the next generation i'm sorry i disagree completely. principles overtrained washington tells the allies they must detour russia is not string to energy problem to europe yet figures show when it comes to america itself importing from the designated enemy is far less the signing with the u.s. now importing record amounts of russian crude artie's constant iraq off 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 longstanding the 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 that really according to the u.s. energy information administration america has been ramping 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 at 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 station and also gas russian titanium for boring plays there too but jokes aside at the end of the day or 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 it already did 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 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. 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. u.s. is struggling with an unprecedented moderate crisis on its southern border a group of republican senators visited the frontier with mexico on friday ordering media coverage of overwhelmed facilities is restrictive and the situation now resembles a humanitarian crisis this is what is from inside a facility in the city of dawn the texas senators say up to 4000 people were held at a placement for 250 and many of those are children people are held in severely overcrowded palls most even without beds earlier in the week convinced they could have journalism group project released images of the site it's all the cases had also been registered the location. there is a major influx of illegal immigrants and that is according to the source might you 50 of them are coded posit that sexual assaults he does it will 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 again other care and it seems gearing up a democratic possible mike has also released images from the same city in texas

under the children have allegedly been stranded in patrol custody across the area of a fall moment allowed by god lines border crossings from mexico another 20 year high presenting a serious challenge to the bottom ministration so far the white house though has played down the emotion sick. children presenting at our border who are fleeing violence or fleeing prosecution who are fleeing terrible situations is not a crisis washington d.c. officials going back and forth about whether or not what's happening at the border is really a crisis meanwhile we've got the border officials and leaders of the democratic party in congress urging the administration to get back to reality 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 i just want to let you know what's going on we need to get a humble 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 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 it seems like the biden administration does not want there to be media access to what is happening on the border and the u.s. facilities that have been set up i respectfully ask us customs and border protection to stop blocking media access to their border operations i have photographed c.b.p. under a 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. forces journalists have needed to stand in another country to face off what's happening in the united states how many will recall that while donald trump was

president photographs of children held in facilities are widely circulated and there was mass discussion and outrage about you know what they referred to in the media as kids in cages but the biden administration seems to be rather adamant that it is simply not. 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 that are are not permanent place places for children and children are not placed there permanently now white house spokesperson jen psaki says that the biden ministration is very committed to what she calls transparency 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 than it is to resolve the situation that many are referring to as a crisis. senior u.s.

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 promote political positions relevant inform. the increased power of the press is so dangerous today because we're very close to one party control of these institutions the new york times and washington post virtually democratic party broadsheets nearly all television network and 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 while they were just excited once it was actually in the white house they saw this throwing the tough questions at him. not to michael in crisis that me just not all that but they did go wild of those where did c.g.i. hands or maybe they were just expecting the other president and our president

harrison i took a virtual tour of vaccination centers on a i will admit though that seldom is what great in times of timing because remember that bombshell recording with donald trump pressuring elections investigated georgia to find him ballots they 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 yes

but that's just an exception because when it came to trump the washington post was very sad and honest and objective and balanced and anyway trump at 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 twice 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 either 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 could trigger an assassination attempt so anyway it's a total mystery to me why faith in the us media is an all time low.

in this week's headlines america containership has been jammed across the suez canal since tuesday with hundreds of cargo ships stuck on the side attempts to disclose the vessel have so far failed. salvage teams have been hoping to free it using tugs and without unloading any of its cargo that seems less feasible though when egypt's president has stepped in and ordered preparations for the vessel about 12 percent of all global trade policies through the suez canal which is the shortest between asia and europe. there's growing concern over international supply chains in case the blockage isn't results so. those are the headlines this hour do check out our social media as well for more on any of those week's headlines that's when i return all for our the latest to join us again that.
