more. just after 8 in the evening on this the 1st saturday of april wherever you're catching us from today welcome to the news hour. easter is fast approaching but things aren't looking too festive in europe germany introduced strict nighttime curfews in several states. in public spaces to slow the spread of the coronavirus that comes some states in the e.u. have announced a partial closure nation centers this weekend charlotte can tell us more. off. to the vaccination campaign it was some place to be finally 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 that 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 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. have been told 3 days the plan is to allow medical staff to rest but that's in direct opposition to

the country's health minister who has demanded that they keep the ruling out the jobs now in germany to some states 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 leader is pummeled by press for this because everyone knows covered 900 takes the holidays off. it doesn't have holidays we're still recovering from the ludicrous christmas meetup and that usual stereotype of truman efficiency took even more of a battering as chancellor angela merkel flip flopped over the idea of extending the restrictions instead she's urging for a bit of rest. so what does this mean for the next few days it means 1st and foremost that it should be what easter one in a small circle with

a very reduced context also known as you to refrain from all non urgent travel and that we are all consistent if all the rules herein france is a new nationwide lockdown begins many were getting ready to upscale and rolled with the city's assault of the weekend truce is being allowed people to get away for the break but the 2 came with this warning to either you go. or you do not go but the boy is hoping to take advantage of the new nicer weather with scripture he was wearing the ring king alcohol outside spaces or even the park has become the latest. it's 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. so let's even ski r.t. paris. in the impoverished parisians. doctors are struggling to find enough intensive care beds for patients. but we are being overwhelmed with cases serious case the cases are intensity. it is almost full the flow of patients increases every day there are more covert positive tests negative the situation is grave. is the poorest region in mainland france 800 coronavirus cases per 100000 people that is more than twice the national average there have also been reports that teachers are walking 2 to the number of infections in schools. yet another anti lockdown

gathering in a park in the belgian capital has been dispersed by mounted police. water cannon was also unleashed to put adult lawyer on the vents while riot 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 the big gig itself turned out to be an april fool's joke by pranksters. a prominent tryst has been detained in serbia for allegedly spreading. propaganda. of it should also lead to the 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. serbia has the 3rd highest vaccination rate in

europe with more than 2300000 citizens having received at least the 1st shot other european countries are trying to pick up the pace with italy becoming the 1st to introduce controversial compulsory jobs for health workers the u.k. to introduce mandatory jobs but so far only for care home staff discuss the issues raised by europe's vaccination roll out 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 about that the vaccine is safe secondly the gravity of the situation and thirdly if anything else is working and if will put all of 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 anybody who had the possibility to take 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 firstly phosphorescent school amdo i think there will be a number who traces are going to be going to show a strong us who are really just going to go off and in the lorry which is being described we have to burn my own book it's just the bottle of which are actually kind of you know i'm cheating i'm going the facts of the month were of the vast majority of the population actually did not need those facts nation know how to workers are actually sent home if they are symptomatic of any infection and it's not discrimination and if they refuse to back seems to have because of police not taking taxi ins. and we've let them work with little patience because honestly all vulnerable is not discrimination is just protection of patients that you work with and talking about the mandate of the valley. seen i think if we talk about

individual person they 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 unfunny 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 being one such example considering where in the middle of a pandemic does this more need to be done to counter the more extreme versions of of these protesters well of course repeats what exactly are the roots. are obvious to produce or are not proponents of the debate the issue of these phones pumping out round goes through commute proved wrong what we really need is a 2 to be given we go through promotions right fool decisions are probably true

nancy but it seems going last. it's been revealed that over 50 big american companies including fedex and nike managed to dodge paying federal corporate income taxes in the last fiscal year that's amid widespread job losses blamed on the pandemic artie's killam up and looks at how the us system appears to favor the rich. 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 deductions 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 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 in other words 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 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 theater because behind it the reality is 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 that 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 artsy new york. the story of the detainee who is widely regarded as the most tortured man in kuantan them obey is the pick to in the hollywood film the mauritanian in today's episode of going underground. speaks to the director of the movie. on the lawyer of . slight who was held in the notorious 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 day in which expose the horrors of life in the detention center the full interview can be watched throughout the day but here's a quick teacher. do you want to represent the head recruiter for 911 constitution

doesn't have an asterisk yet. they kidnap 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 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 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 this still to this day remains no evidence at all against clinton 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 or do or nancy i think some people. would like to see obama the same today

i'm completely absent from any responsibility that you just need to get away from the fact that if he continued to use the policies it was treatises. how did that feel after winning and then as far mamadou today i understand he cannot easily travel is a kind of president today well he is a kind of prisoner he 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 a 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 and in the

program be a slum explained tara prepares had control of a key town in mozambique for over a week but the international community seems not overly bothered or not something. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. let it be an arms race. very dramatic. very critical. talk.

a look at french energy company total has withdrawn all its stuff from the country faces a terror campaign with the islamic state group holding control of a key town it sees there over a week ago fatalities among civilians have been mounting the u.n. world food program warns that almost a 1000000 people in mozambique require food aid because of the crisis but the

international community is seemingly reluctant to help. us through. 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 and be hitting civilians. the latest attack is the biggest escalation by islamist web olds 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 and escape into the forest but some of my white colleagues lost their lives again i get it for 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 not 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 the gap came to speak with billions of dollars following be sure just cover

we want to be the largest natural gas field in africa france with total which paid for the multi-billion dollar gas project in the area earlier the same didn't work because of their politics this was not the 1st time that we've seen this state 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 so it 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 very little bit 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 power was remaining mostly silent policy our team. stop africa. a controversial russian blogger prankster has found himself at the center of a criminal investigation after his alleged reckless driving in central moscow led to a head on crash archies from those more than. edward bill is a video blogger with more than 4000000 subscribers on his you tube channel in fact it's about 4.3 at the moment and say he is known for recording pranks where he threatens and insults people in various situations but said now he's on the wrong

side of the law and he's been charged with causing a multiple car pileup in the central moscow according to c.c.t.v. footage his car suddenly switch lanes and drove into oncoming traffic one woman was seriously injured and she is now in a coma in the immediate aftermath edward bill said that he was not at the wheel of the time of the accident but later changed his tune and admitted his guilt is what you feel me as if it'd been a behind the wheel when i arrived here just now as it was indeed my car i lent it to a friend who ended up in a crash i don't know what's happening with me now you assaulting me would be a cameras a new cool would be for you to drive in your own car is that correct know who you behind the wheel really do don't know who want whether you were hired to where you know no i was behind you will moscow authorities claim that his car violated the city's speed limit at least $400.00 times this year alone the blogger faces 2 years

behind bars and awaits trial at home though with some limitations he is under a nightly curfew and he's been prevented from using the internet and calling people on his telephone however representatives of the people affected by his actions don't agree with the limited curfew imposed on edward bill and they have asked authorities to place him under house arrest now edward bill said that say he is very more full about what happened and he's ready to pay compensation to everyone affected by the accident. this week arkansas became the. first us state to pass a bill making it illegal for doctors to provide gender affirming health care to transgender children civil rights activists were quick to slum the laws on constitutional and violating human rights here to take over old dimitry. 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 its 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 tend to mad to mad 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. quinces know there are the will 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 to 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 vulcan benevolent corporations and celebrities well that is our lot for another from the newsroom but our programs are only just beginning to see what's enough for where you are season.
