for helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. are not so happy he's 30 in europe past some e.u. states expand. others or else the partial closure of vaccination centers. with millions of americans losing their jobs and small businesses shuttered during the pandemic it's revealed that some of the country's biggest companies paid no federal tax last year and. the hollywood film depicts the story of them out of widely regarded to be the most tortured butane in guantanamo bay he talks to the director of the film the prisoner's lawyer and. there was no evidence at all this still to this day remains no evidence against one. there is always

pressure against cases in more. live from moscow thanks for joining us today here on our team's rash on daniel who cleans welcome to the program. comes around again in the europe it's not looking too festive germany's introduced strict not time curfews in several states while france has banned booze in public spaces to slow the spread of the coronavirus when it comes as some states in the e.u. have announced the partial closure of vaccination centers over the easter weekend charlotte has the latest. off and i get the rise in the 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 open across the country fully vaccinated the

cool came as the world health organization criticised europe's vaccine road like this 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 have in stock 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 vaccinations

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 $900.00 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. fish and sea 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 also energy to refrain from all known urgent travel and that we all consist in the fall all the rules herein france is a

a new nation wide lockdown begins many getting ready to obscure on 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 through weeks or you do not go but the boy is hoping to take advantage of the noise so whether with 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. staying in france an impoverished parisian suburb of singsong don't need doctors are struggling to find enough intensive care beds for patients. we are being overwhelmed with cases serious cases our intensive care unit is almost full the flow of patients increases every day there are more closed positive tests negative the situation is grave so and so on the new year is the poorest region in mainland france and has about 800 coronavirus cases per 100000 people that's more than twice the national average there's also been reports that teachers are walking out due to the high number of infections in school. now across the border and the lock down gathering in a park in the belgian capital was the spurs by mounted police. water cannons we used to put

a damper on the event riot officers broke up groups of strugglers in the name of social distancing a few days ago thousands in brussels for what was billed as an anti lockdown concert gig itself not to be. a problem of psychiatrists has been detained in serbia for apparently spreading anti vaccine propaganda you want to look at it she also leads a small far right parties 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 or serbia has the 3rd high as the vaccination rate in europe with more than 2300000 citizens receiving at least one shot other european countries are trying to pick up the pace with its only becoming the 1st to introduce compulsory jobs for health workers the u.k. too has introduced monetary jobs but so far only for home stuff my colleague you

only will discuss the issues raised by europe's about the nation roll out. 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 i think is a cloud from a community responsibility that this vaccine would be a mandate for everybody who had the possibility to pick up an fanie 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 in school or i think there will be a company who traces are going to be a great show stross who are really discriminates against our staff and which is

being described we have to burn my own book it's just the vulnerable who are politically perplexing why didn't i would say to. 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 and it's not discrimination and if they refuse to take back scenes who have because of police not taking taxi ins. we've let them work with little patience because on oscar all vulnerable is not discrimination is just protection of patients that you work with and talking about the mandate to offer them 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. being blamed for the resurgence of preventable diseases measles. it's being one such example considering where in the middle of a pandemic does there's more need to be done to counter the more extreme versions of of these protesters well of course repeat what exactly are the roots. are obvious the pros. are not prepared to debate the issue or somebody is sending something outlandish. proved wrong what we really eat is a tool to be getting the flu promotions going right into the stations or out with the truth nancy but it seems. it's been revealed that over 50 large american companies including fedex and nike managed to dodge paying any federal corporate income taxes in the last fiscal year that's amid widespread job

losses blamed on the pandemic artie's kayleigh more than 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 for the 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 attack small business owners who are 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 shaded areas and congressmen and women you know the wordage the jayanti 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 candidate and to parties and by painting these armies of 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 . but they're 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 high 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 one of regarded as the most tortured man in guantanamo bay's the pics in the hollywood film the mauritanian in today's

episode of going underground in the terms he speaks to the director of the movie and the noir of my old. held in the tourist prison for 14 years without charge arrested in mauritania by u.s. forces following the 911 attacks mr slahi was accused of being an al qaeda member the film is based on his diary published in january 25th in which exposed the horrors of life in the detention center the full interview can be watched on r.t. throughout the day in the meantime here's a quick preview. you want to represent the head recruiter for 911 constitution doesn't have an asterisk at the end. they kidnapped me from my home prop me 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 didn't 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 what him and that is saying about how bad it was there 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 but 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 is 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 or do or nancy i think some people. like to see obama the same today i'm completely i'm still not from any responsibility that there's no getting away from the fact that if he continued he continued the policies of his greatest us. how did that feel after winning and then as for mamadou 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 more cheney and 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 allow them to allow him to travel he's a free man he should be allowed to travel. still to come the islamic state terror group was held for all of a key town in mozambique for over a week now the international community seems a little bothered more on that after the break.

and you know became the bottleneck is a valid excuse your movement and you know all of the sick boy that is a government who said let yourself a week or 2 to this vision when he said action on this lead before is not to go out today if things socially stand they can copy it at least go so-called peace with the palestinians solution and between so you want about me and you know it those who say only. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. the deer's thinks. we should ask.

welcome back to the program a less than 3 months off of the shock siege of the u.s. capitol a car running outside the building has left washington reeling once again with one police officer dead and the other in hospital security has been rushed up again in the wake of the attack and the suspect was shot dead off just stepping out of his vehicle and brandishing a knife the officer who died in the attack has been identified as william evans a capitol police when all 18 years president joe biden has sent his heartfelt condolences to the officers family former pentagon list 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 presence and actually beef up security because of the sensitivities of what's going on in the in the capital area especially on capitol hill and the vulnerability of congressmen and senators are going to maintain security for an indefinite period of time. french energy company in total has withdrawn all of its thoughts from mozambique as the country faces a terror campaign with the islamic state group holding control over to tout it

seized there over a week ago well this is led to dozens of victims while the u.n. world food program warns that almost a 1000000 in mozambique require food aid because of the crisis the international community though is doing little to help beyond making statements that suggest africa is not a priority for major powers artie's paula slayer reports. i'm here in downtown johannesburg both of heading to mozambique me from last week insurgents affiliated with islamic state launched a raid on the northernmost big town of palma ransacking buildings and murdering and to hitting civilians.

the latest attack is the biggest escalation by flemister where bulls who have been waiting villages in 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. and that we had at the hotel which was besieged by militants after 4 days without eating we decided to leave and escape into the forest but some of my white colleagues lost their lives. i can't go back to palma i don't believe there will be peace there that we will be able to leave there the way we used to. ok let's go. people were killed on the beach where i was some minister run away but others stayed and militants took women boys and children with them. 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 help of the gas industry with billions of dollars is following the shortest path and we want to be the largest natural gas fields in africa francisco told which paid for the multi-billion dollar gas project to me area earlier the same didn't work because of the politics this was not the 1st time that we have seen my misled me state was 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. it is huge it is destructive and it is dangerous to believe that. we've known this was 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 countries of the u.n. will have to. this is something that should have been done in this very little bit more than 2 years ago. but the response so for being there in a region that has become the latest frontline in the global war being waged part with world powers remaining mostly silent policy our team. stop africa. the controversial russian blogger and pranks is part of self at the center of a criminal investigation of his alleged reckless driving in central moscow letterhead of crashed. wallace cross a lot of shorty's on course if you get the latest updates at all but thanks for staying across the story what exactly happened here and was this you should blogger in the public eye well 1st
