that was the year of war and were part of the 1st for. a not so happy easter in europe last sunday you states expand others or else the partial closure of vaccination centers. with many americans losing their jobs and small businesses having to close during the pandemic it's revealed that some of the biggest u.s. companies paid no federal corporate tax last year. the hollywood film depicts the story of the man of widely regarded to be the most tortured detainee in guantanamo bay r.t. speaks to the director of the film and the prisoners of war. there was no evidence of journalist still to this day means you wouldn't struggle against one television

there is always pressure against casey. more than a mile. from the international with me daniel hawkins wherever you are today welcome to the program. comes around again but it's not looking too festive germany's introduced strict night time curfews in several states while france has banned booze in public spaces to slow the spread of the coronavirus well this of course comes as some states in the you have announced the partial closure of vaccination centers over the easter weekend show that they had the details. after an agonizingly slow start to the vaccination campaign it was supposed to be following only picking up speed effects innocently completing this from the fact the nation is a national priority there's no bank holiday there's no weekends vaccination so we

must all vaccination centers that are opened across the country fully vaccinated that cool came as the world health organization criticised europe's vaccine rollout is being fully inadequate vaccines present our best way out of this pandemic however the rollout of these vaccines is an acceptably slow we must speed up the process by ramping up manufacturing reducing barriers to administering vaccines and using every single vial we haven't stuck now but as europe celebrates the spring holidays the inoculation rate at least in some regions is actually growing thing to a standstill in madrid spain vaccinations have actually been a whole team for 4 days the plan is to allow medical staff to rest but that's in direct opposition to calls from the country's health minister who has demanded that they keep the ruling out that jobs now in germany to some states are shutting up

shop prompting anger and mockery at the sluggish rollout. some vaccination centers in germany are going to be shot over the easter weekend but that's ok because it's not like this is an emergency or anything german leaders pummeled by press for this because everyone knows covered 900 takes the holidays off. if it doesn't have holidays we're still recovering from the ludicrous christmas meet up and that usual stereotype of an efficiency took even more of a battering as chancellor angela merkel flip flopped over the idea of extending the restrictions instead she's. a bit of rest. so what does this mean for the next few days it means 1st and foremost that it should be a quiet easter one in a small circle with a very reduced context i also urge you to refrain from all non urgent travel and

that we all consist in the fall all the rules herein francaise a new nation wide lockdown begins many getting ready to obscure and rolled with the city's a sort of weekend truce is being allowed for people to get away for the break but the 2 came with this warning either you go for weeks or you do not go but the boy is hoping to take advantage of the nicer weather with a tourist quencher where drinking alcohol outside in public spaces or even the parks has become the latest pope are no longer allowed tighter controls will also be in place with authorities clamping down on groups of more than 6 measures put in place as france struggles to get a grip on rising infection rates for many in europe it was hoped that this weekend would be a bit of a break from the monotony of prove it instead the virus continues to be the biggest

party pooper in. seoul if you can ski r.t. paris. suburb of sing song the knee doctors are struggling to find enough intensive care beds for patients. we are being overwhelmed with cases serious covert cases are intensive care unit is almost full the flow of patients increases every day there are more covert positive tests negative the situation is grave. sundanese the poorest region in mainland france and has about 800 coronavirus cases per 100000 people that's more than twice the national average there are also reports that teachers are walking out due to the high number of infections in schools. it was only lockdown gathering in a park in the building capital with the spurs by mounted police. and water cannon unleashed to put

a damper on the event while right officers broke up groups of stragglers in the name of social distancing a few days ago thousands in brussels turned out for what was billed as an anti lockdown concert at the gig itself turned out to be an april fool's joke. meanwhile a prominent psychiatrist has been detained in serbia for allegedly supporting anti vaccine propaganda you're also leads a small far right party is one of several people being questioned in a government crackdown officials accuse them of creating fear and panic and putting lives at risk all the perpetrators of criminal acts must be dealt with especially when they threaten public health will serve as the 3rd highest vaccination rate in europe with more than 2300000 citizens receiving at least a 1st shot other european countries are trying to pick up the pace with isn't even becoming the 1st to introduce compulsory jobs for health workers the u.k. too has interviews to monitor jobs but so far only care home staff earlier my

colleague discussed the issues raised for europe's vaccination rollout with a panel of guests. well when we talk about the mandate for the common 1000 vaccine i think we need to look into a broader perspective the 1st thing is that a lot of the vaccine is safe secondly the gravity of the situation and thirdly if anything else is working and in full put all these 3 things together for me i think it is really important and i think it is a cloud from a community responsibility that this vaccine would be a mandate for everybody who had the possibility to pick up an thingy if money tree just for health workers is going to save the lives of vulnerable people it's the right thing to do business it no i don't agree mostly dance class and school or i think there will be a company who places are going to be going sure stross who are really discriminate against our staff and in a very which is being described we have to burn my own book it's just the

vulnerable who are politically perplexing why currently no i don't see the facts of the matter of the vast majority of the population actually do not need this fascination you know how to workers are actually sent home if they are symptomatic with any infection it's not discrimination and if they refuse to take back scenes or have because of police not taking taxi ins. we've let them work with a little patience because patients who are vulnerable and is not discrimination is just protection of patients that you work with and talking about the mandate of the vaccine i think if we talk about any individual person there might be still in fact after vaccination or can still transmit the infection but if this were actually is applied on a broader community then the transmission would certainly be stopped and we haven't witnessed this one in israel so in community level the impact of the vaccine is a lot more than what you see any individual level and 20 from what we know in the

past that they're helping us examples of on t.v. is being blamed for the resurgence of preventable diseases measles. it's being one such example considering where in the middle of a pandemic does does more need to be done to counter the more extreme versions of of these protesters well of course repeat what exactly are the 'd root servers are obvious to produce. are not purchased to debate the issue of the selling something outlandish. proved wrong what we really eat is a tool to be good we go through promotions going right through all the stations of our public the truth nancy that she is going. to reveal that over 50 big american companies including fed ex and ny can manage to dance paying any federal corporate income taxes in the last fiscal year as amid

widespread job losses blamed on the pandemic artie's caleb maupin looks at how the us system appears to favor the wealthy. paycheck to paycheck that's how more than half of been living especially since the pandemic and they're also paying taxes but what would those americans say when they found out that $55.00 of the largest corporations in the united states paid no taxes last year that includes fedex and nike after deduction exemptions they ended up paying net 0 but they were supposed to pay $8500000000.00 quite a big difference sounds like a joke especially for america's small businesses that have been devastated by the pandemic and still had to pay the rent after earning nothing and surprisingly they now might be hit again now that biden is planning to raise personal income taxes that hit 95 percent of small businesses like a hurricane a strange decision it is letting big corporations off the hook while burying small

business owners even deeper i do not think it's the right time especially that we're in a pandemic and small businesses and we've done enough to to survive this pandemic and i mean it's a troubling time for everyone now and then for people to tax small business owners who are in a struggling be perfect finding creative ways to stay in business over the last 40 years that is roughly since 1080 there has been a systematic redistribution of wealth and income from the poorer and the middle class to those at the very top there are men be more lobbyists in washington then there are senators and congressmen and women you know the words of the johnnie of people working on legislation in the capital of washington d.c. are paid agents of large corporations so you see that the control of the big

businesses by giving donations to a candidate and to parties and by paying these armies and not be used. they have the influence to make sure that the tax system favors that but don't go rushing to say the world is unfair biden is also promising a tax increase on the very rich i have nothing against millionaires and billionaires but here's the deal we're going to raise the corporate tax. it was 35 percent which is too high we all agreed 5 years ago it should go down to 28 percent . with the reduced to 21 percent raise it back to up to 20 percent ironically though is there really any point in doing this when companies are already failing to pay the current rate even when taxes on the rich were much higher 18 of america's top $258.00 corporations still managed to pay only some of it seems like loopholes are quite friendly to the rich and powerful all tax problem

a bit of the theory because behind it the reality is that the bigger the corporation the easier it is for them to pay for the lawyers the accountants the economists like me who will help them escape taxation the reality is that around the world today large corporations have the ability to move their profits to wherever the tax rate is the lowest so they don't have to pay higher rates of taxation if the united states has tax rates higher than other countries they'll move their profits to other countries some observers say that the biden planned attacks corporations is just a farce and they don't really have any intention of making them pay however small businesses will continue to struggle and r.t. new york. the story of the detainee he's widely regarded as the most tortured man in guantanamo bay is the picture in the hollywood film the more russian

internet is episode of going on the ground afshin rattansi speaks to the director of the movie and the lawyer of old slahi who was held in the notorious prison for 14 years without charge arrested him or shown here by u.s. forces following that on 11 attacks mr slahi was accused of being an al qaeda member the film is based on his diary published in january 25th was exposed the horrors of life in the detention center the full interview can be watched on r.t. throughout the day but in the meantime here's a quick teaser. you want to represent the head recruiter for 911 constitution doesn't have an asterisk yet. they kidnap me from my house probably here over the back of my head and chains around my body. they seem to be a lot of pressure going to class pressure i don't know for you to drop the case all through well that there is always pressure against cases in more in guantanamo or cases involving alleged terrorists and we tried did make that point when joni

talks about that she's taking the words right out of an op ed i did in 2010 where i said i was a terrorist lawyer and proud of it people thought whatever that is saying about how bad it was they were grounds for the us authorities to. lock him up my understanding from talking to nancy talking to your cat shoes the letter the prosecution lawyer for the government in america that everybody else is that there are playing to the stories there were new grounds for having him there there were suspicions and he was still to associate with some people who may have done some bad things but there was no evidence at all in the still to this day remains no evidence at all against clinton that he was an innocent man who was locked up for more than 14 years and there are many many other people in one time in the same situation as even to date obama put him back in jail after he wins that doesn't

happen in an innocent man narrative plot to a film that's a terrible twist on the end of the movie and we shouldn't really be giving it away it's actually the part that more people have said to me oh my dogs because you've been through this incredible and sometimes harrowing journey and you think you're coming out the other side because there's been this courtroom victory. and then the ravi's tooled for monday you and you get a small sense of what it must have been like to be a mum of 2 or nancy i think some people. would like to see obama the same today. completely absent from any responsibility that you did getting away from the fact that he continued he continued to use the policies it was recess. how did that feel after winning and then as firm i would do today i understand he cannot easily travel is a kind of prisoner today well he is a kind of prisoner didn't get a passport for 3 years after he got out that was the deal the us made with

mauritania they wouldn't give him the passport and now he has not been able to get a visa so far to 2 european only got a visa to south africa we are hoping he and his american wife and baby can someday find a country that will give to give him citizenship and no allow them to allow him to travel he's a free man he should be allowed to travel. still ahead steve mannix takes terror group of us had a he had control of a key town in mozambique for over a week but the international community seems a little bald it's more of a story after the break. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person or those with.

no dares thinks. we dare to ask. any. all became the bottleneck is a valid excuse you remove it and you know full well you see there is a government to some little food we call to do this vision we said action on this levy from. the ends and social east then. at least those so-called peace with the palestinian solutions between so you or anyone and you know those who say only.

welcome back to the program just under 3 months after the shock siege of the u.s. capitol a call running outside the building is left d.c. reeling with one police officer dead and another in hospital and security in washington has been ratcheted up again in the wake of the attack the suspect was shot dead after stepping out of his vehicle brandishing a knife the officer who died in the attack has been identified as william evans a capitol policeman of 18 years president joe biden has sent his heartfelt condolences to the office family of former pentagon or lists of michael maloof says the latest incident will result in an even larger security presence in washington d.c. well into the future. the initial concern was this could have been a decoys and immediately the rest of the capitol went under further lockdown and

also has they've also done the same thing for government buildings just in case this might have been a decoys but so far nothing else has happened it could have been just a test if people who had been tensions of it in the capitol will look upon this as a lesson learned what to do or what not to do and how to go about this but i think that this latest episode just reinforces especially if it was done by a lone a lone wolf that the they're going to have to maintain their their security pres. and actually beef up security because of the sensitivities of what's going on in the in the capitol area especially on capitol hill and the vulnerability of congressmen and senators are going to maintain security for an indefinite period of time. friendship and as your company in total has been forced to withdraw all its staff from assad in mozambique following clashes between the military and harvests and group linked to islamic state has been in control of

a key town in the area for over a week now this is led to dozens of victims and a mass exodus within and outside mozambique where the international community though is doing little to help beyond making statements suggesting that africa is not a priority for major powers auntie's poorest leah reports. i'm here in downtown johannesburg both of heading to mozambique leaf from last week insurgents affiliated with islamic state launched a raid on the northernmost big town of palma ransacking buildings and murdering a beheading civilians.

the latest attack is the biggest escalation by flemister where poles who have been waiting villages and towns in northern mozambique for the past 4 years leaving hundreds of thousands of people displaced and at least 2000 dead half of them civilians according to the united nations the model that we had at the hotel which was besieged by militants after 4 days without eating we decided to leave an escape into the forest but some of my white colleagues lost their lives again i get it for she i can't go back to palma i don't believe there will be peace there that we'll be able to leave there the way we used to. ok let's go not to hurt people were killed on the beach where i was some minister on the way but others stayed and militants took women boys and children with them. among one night we heard gunshots so there was nothing else to do than flee into the woods and we spent 7 days there

without anything to eat there were many children and no food. mostly because the hub of a gas industry with billions of dollars following the awful discovery of one to be the largest natural gas fields in africa francis. total which paid for the multi-billion dollar gas project in the area earlier the same didn't work because of rebel attacks this was not the 1st time that we've seen on this let me state attacking was a big in fact they have actually taken control of. the port which is a key port for region i treat in the region so. presence in mozambique not longer. it is huge it is destructive and it is dangerous to believe that. we've known this is going to happen and that has the word has the backing definitely of countries from from up north east and i think

this is a it's a worldwide problem i think it's something that the u.n. will have to step into and i think it's something that the direct countries of the u.n. will have to assist in and this is something that should have been done in this very little more than 2 years ago. but the response so for has been lacking in a region that has become the latest frontline in the global war being waged by militant islamist mozambique is turning into yet another african hotspot with world powers remaining mostly silent policy our team. stop africa. this week or kansas became the 1st state to possible making it illegal for doctors to provide gender affirming health care to transgender minors civil rights activists were quick to slam the law as unconstitutional and violating human rights . through polk takes a closer look. the all knowing corporations and celebrities are at it again

spreading their wisdom to us lowly humans who just don't understand anything at all wisdom of the day the new arkansas law preventing minors from getting gender reassignment surgery is practically murder and is killing children arkansas legislates a seemly have nothing better to do during a global pandemic an economic meltdown than to pass hateful discriminatory laws denying health care to people trans rights a human rights trance kids are under attack across the country arkansas has just banned them from accessing health care this is ted to man to my kids who will tell us who they are it's our job to support them not demonize or harm them don't bother looking any of this up though because these people who are saying this have definitely done their research they've weighed the pros and the cons of this bill and have come to the undeniable conclusion that this bill is really bad just

retreat spread the message and enjoy the feeling of moral superiority but if for some reason you decide to look past the veil of vacuous virtue signaling you might discover that there's a bit more to the issue see what these people mean by health care is the practice of injecting confused kids with a bunch of hormones and irreversibly mutilating their bodies because you know that's apparently a basic human right and 12 year old kids definitely know what they want to do with their life and if they want to whole new body well who's to stop them and the people who will be calling that aren't necessarily the ones who have gone through the treatments or lives with the consequences no they're the wall internet crowd who is using a complex issue to further their agenda and show everybody just how virtuous and compassionate they are the people who actually did get their gender changed with little to no questions asked haven't found themselves. to be any happier while

others are suing the clinics that encourage them as teenagers to change their gender basically equating it's a child abuse and despite all the propaganda about how wonderful it is to receive hormone injections actual research studies have shown that most people with gender dysphoria see no improvement in their mental state after the transition and suicide rates among trance people which are unfortunately very high don't seem to be affected at all by any of the procedures so what's the solution well politicizing virtue signaling and mutilating kids don't seem to be working that well gender dysphoria is a disorder and should be studied and treated as such not glorified or used for clout you don't tell a person who believes that he's napoleon that he is an actual french general why well because sooner or later reality will come crashing around him and when that

happens they will be left alone confused abused probably suicidal and that's exactly the path that these kids are being pushed on by these always woken benevolent corporations and celebrities. to documentary follows the laws of african-americans moved to the soviet union to escape discrimination back home for u.k. views sputnik up next and we would turn off with the latest headlines to join us again but. humanity has never seen such strange natural phenomena befall giant coming to appearing in the peninsula. one off or another. but never doubt about the venue if you. get to it but you know whom does.

this one appeared in 2020. how often and where will new creases appear. how dangerous own day for humans. is and 2021 russian scientists came quite close to working out what's going on. they built a full scale 3 d. model of the black hole.

problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies too in every state in the united states who seem very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids and invaded america under the banner of medicine the. persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she did those after dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer so who's to blame patients doctors manufacturers all the governments of. what started my interest i should say and black americans in the soviet union in

the thirty's was.
