we will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. in our top stories of the last week a little money for food on the growing mental health crisis stuck in isolation from the turn of the vast aid groups offering free subsidized meals. and drag queen size at a book called. the washington post's ridiculed for offering parents so-called book materials for toddlers. we have to. meet instead of being naive. producing books for 3 year olds talking about. baby age just absolutely. do as i say not as i do washington tries to force you. your russian energy project to get makes moscow one of its biggest oil partners.

and thousands of migrants are filmed in overcrowded camps on the u.s. southern border adding to the president refusing a crisis. live from moscow thanks for joining us on the weekly here in r.t. international this evening. welcome to the program. first in the weekly rundown we reported that there's been a sharp rise in french students for the turn for free or subsidized food from support groups restaurants and supermarkets. he was at one paris help sounds where they can 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 bite did once 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 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 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 holding you 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 or. if you don't know anyone who lives in the same house as the. alone for. now it's like 11 hours of the day cruz 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

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 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 charlotte even ski r.t. paris the covert crisis that sparked the student's difficulties shows no sign of ending and they use at loggerheads with britain after attempting to block vaccine exports the french president has now waded into the dispute for support the export control mechanism sits up by the european commission i support the fact that we

must block produced exports and to look at their commitments to europeans i don't think that blockades. either back scenes or. medicines. sensible. or virgins reportedly close to a deal with brussels this sunday to remove the threat of the block cutting off shot supplies in return the u.k. would forgo some long term deliveries of the astra zeneca from the e.u. this comes after earlier this week u.s. regulators force astra zeneca to admit its vaccine was less effective than it claimed barbara just silent laughter all this that it will hit confidence in the pharmaceutical giant. fundamental tenet in science that you don't pick and choose which they to you chris but it appears that for some reason that's what's happened when you 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 the great

through the we should remember it's only a 3 percent difference for mild moderate these and no difference at all for the most serious life threatening condition not everybody i would say relatively few people pick up on the fact but with different small they pick up on the fact there is a difference so that astra zeneca have essentially been accused of cherry picking data so that's what people here in effect contradicts 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 awaiting for the rocks medicines watchdog to approve the sport like the vaccine some of his own to slovakia etc public and hungary have jumped the gun before the regulators greenlight would have us so many of us and excited the more than a 1000000 citizens with the russians among them is hungary's foreign minister in an

interview with r.t. this week he explained why his country was the 1st the united nation to approve the jap. vaccine is not a question of ideology for us is a matter of saving lives and if we had not contract the chinese and russian vaccine we would have saved the health care and the health and the lives of many hungry and the hungry a national regulator has approved the emergency use authorization for use so i have no concern i was the one. that asked by our government to negotiate. in the russian federation of our 3rd. i have started going to go she shows with minister mom to roland mused back at the end of october before i got real actually and after a long series of negotiations only were able to sign our contract we share

a lot in accelerating the vaccination in hungary you said it's rightly more than 1400000 today this morning even more than 1500000 of the areas have already been vaccinated that's. covert skeptics are running across europe this weekend devoting an end to restrictions u.k. and he looks out today clashed with officers and tried to break through police lies in the danish capital activists dressed in black elite flares and fireworks to protest the government's coronavirus reaction hundreds also came out against the government's response in the german city but. all german chancellor angela merkel took just one days of make a complete u. turn and all deeply unpopular plans for a strict looked all over easter. says day the festive april as well as the said 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 and says until i regret that deeply and apologize to all citizens. original proposal had been panned by both the business and scientific community and was reversed after a crisis meeting a member of merkel's ruling party told us people are tired of the government's contradictions and the pandemic. people are fed up with c a locked arms 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 other 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 germans if they're

used to one thing they're 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. apparently you are never too young to be progressive the washington post is godparents to books websites and companies offering a book material for very young children the future titles social justice for toddlers hypes the importance of equality racial and gender education for kids and the report on its materials like a drag queen website books like anti-racist baby and work baby and a firm selling toys and learning materials to dismantle bias many of the advice divisive and even harmful. can we just teach children to walk talk play

before we set hoisting our delta 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 without reaction to the washington post article from talk radio strong gaunt and wayman benefits 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 and 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 pox for 3 year olds talking about arm awoke baby age 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 i will 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 they don't fear alone they label it start to try and bring up a better generation in the previous generation that we have to do something. instead of be naive a lot 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 confront 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 toddlers 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 beings behave 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 over trade washington tells allies they must dish russia is not stream to any republican to europe yet biggest show when it comes to america itself importing from the designated enemy is far less discerning with the us there are 14 record amounts of russian crude artie's constant iraq off report. 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'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 those 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 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 gets russian titanium for boeing 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 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 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 of the customers for doing exactly what they are doing so much

for trademark american diplomacy that as joe biden says is now back. to us judge says pretty much the whole media in the country has become a democratic polity bullhorns with the details will be back after this short break . is you'll be a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being. direct. what is true what is. in the

world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the. forum made in the shallows. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development the only move really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. welcome back to the program the us is struggling with an unprecedented modern crisis on its southern border a group of republican senators visited the fronts here with mexico on friday warning media coverage of overwhelmed facilities is restricted the situation now

resembles a humanitarian crisis. but this is footage from inside a facility in the city of texas senators say up to 4000 people were being held in a placement for 250 many of those are children people held in severely overcrowded paul's most without even beds earlier that we can best they could have joined this group project veritas words the images of the site itself was coronavirus 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 covered the conditions here but it just seems like mass chaos and yes there is again other care and it seems gearing up democratic thought it only has also released images from the same city in texas hundreds of children have it as you know been stranded in patrol custody across the area for fall along with it allowed by godless border crossings from mexico to 28 year presenting a serious challenge to the budget administration so far the white house has played down the emergency. children presenting at our border who are fleeing

violence or fleeing prosecution who are fleeing terrible situations is not a crisis in 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 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 haven't 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 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 a pro. brit 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 and 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. the newspapers and radio of being puppets of the democratic party the public appears to agree with most now saying outlets from a political positions rather than informing. 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 in cable is a democratic party trumpet a democratic party trumpet i mean what an exaggeration it's not like they treated his inauguration as the 2nd coming of christ well they were just excited once he was actually in the white house they saw this throwing the tough questions at him. not to michael in crisis the media's not about 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 terms of timing because remember that bombshell recording with donald trump pressuring elections investigated georgia to find him ballots he 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 fraud 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 admissions 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 by 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 there was that 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 kind of i don't know swayed in. lection and anyway there are other hard hitting stories to report on. some media pundits warn 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. also this week a mega containership has been jammed across the suez canal since tuesday with hundreds of cargo ships stuck on either side to dislodge the versal of so far failed. miserably hoping to free it using tugs without unloading any of its cargo

but that seems less feasible than egypt's president has stepped in and ordered preparations for loitering there are still about 12 percent of all global trade passes through the suez canal which is that short of. europe as growing concerns over international supply chains in case the blockage isn't results are. just going to moscow that's the headlines for this hour to get in 30 minutes for the latest.

humanity has never seen such strange natural phenomena before giant coming to us appearing in the peninsula. one off or another. but never dull to pick up again you through your. future your boy you know them died lowboy goes over to the point here. and this one appeared in 2020. how often and where will new creases appear as i described how dangerous own day for humans.
