in europe. curbs while others are sold closure of vaccination centers. also ahead on the program with millions of americans losing their jobs and small businesses shuttered during that it's revealed that some of the country's biggest companies paid no federal tax last year. current hollywood release. depicts the story of the widely regarded to be the most tortured . r.t. talks to the director of the film on the prisoners. there was no evidence at all of the still to this day. there was always pressure.

around the clock across the world this is r.t. pleasure to have your company my names you know the top story. easter weekend has arrived in europe but things are looking to festive there germany has introduced strict curfews in several states. public spaces to slow the spread of the coronavirus well this comes as some other e.u. states have announced the partial closure of vaccination centers charlotte can tell us more. after an agonizingly slow start to the vaccination campaign it was supposed to be following early 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 vaccinations 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're 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 leader is 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. 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 known as you to refrain from all non urgent travel and that we all consist in the fall all the rules herein francaise a a new nationwide lockdown begins many are 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 for 4 weeks or you do not go but the boy is hoping to take advantage of the noise so whether with a tourist quencher where drinking alcohol outside in public spaces or even the parks 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. charlotte even ski party paris. while in the hard hit prison suburb of. 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 covert positive tests negative the situation is great. sound to me is the poorest region in mainland from about $800.00 coronavirus cases per 100000 people that's more than twice the national average there have also been reports that teachers are walking out you to the high number of infections in school. there's been yet another anti lockdown gathering in

a park in the belgian capital and it's also been dispersed once more by mounted police. water kalin was also on leash to put a damper on the event 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 over the big itself turned out to be an april fool's joke. oh. staying in europe a problem in psychiatry as those being detained in serbia for allegedly spreading anti vaccine propaganda talk of it should also lead to a small far right party is one of several people being questioned in a government crackdown officials accuse them of creating fear in public and putting lives at risk. all the pep strangeness of criminal acts must be dealt with

especially when they threaten public health serbia is the 3rd highest vaccination rate in europe with more than $2300000.00 citizens having received at least the 1st shot of the european countries are trying to pick up the pace with italy becoming the 1st to introduce the controversial measure of compulsory jobs for health workers in the u.k. to introduce monetary jobs but so far only for care home stuff and here i discuss the issues raised by europe's vaccination rollout with the public it. well when we talk about the mandate for the overnight in a 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 if we put all of these 3 things together for me i think it is really important that i think is a cloud for the community responsibility that this vaccine would be a mandate for everybody who had the possibility to pick up something 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 transfer absence rule i think there will be a company who faces again it's only going to show a strong us who are really discriminates against us far off and in the lorry which is being described we have to burn on the beach just the vulnerable of which you are actually kind of you know i'm cheating the facts of the mantra 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 accede and so have because the police are not taking taxi ins. i refuse unselect and work with little patience because actually on. is not discrimination is just protection of patients that you work with and talking about the mandate of the 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 a 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 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 prepared to debate the issue or somebody sending something out ram goes through proved wrong what we really eat is to be getting the

flu promotions right tool decisions are probably true nancy but it seems going on. 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 admit of course widespread job losses blamed on the pandemic artie's caleb maupin 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 frederick's 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 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 the 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 you 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 by 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 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 artsy new york. the story of the detainee who is widely regarded as the most tortured man in kuantan him obey is the pick to in the hollywood film the mauritanian. in today's episode of going under and option return z. speaks to the director of the movie the lawyer muhammadu. who was held in the notorious prison for 14 years without charge arrested in mauritania by u.s. forces following the 911 attacks mr sly he was accused of being allowed to member the film is based on his diary published in january 25th which exposed the horrors of life in the detention center the full interview can be watched on our t.v. throughout the day but 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 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 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 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 has it 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 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's actually the part that more people have said to me oh my god 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 a day or nancy i think some people. would like to see obama the same today i'm

completely absent from any responsibility that there's no getting away from the fact that if he continued to continue the policies of his recess. 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 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 allow them to allow him to travel he's a free man he should be allowed to travel. go ahead on the program be a slum expat terrorist group has had control of

a key town in mozambique for over a week but the international community seems not overly bothered or not after the break. and you know became the bottleneck is a valid excuse your movement and you know full of the sick boy that is a government to some little for a week or 2 it is vision we set action on this lead before is not to go like that in a sense socialist then they can copy it at least go so-called peace with the palestinians all against you between so you or anyone about me and you know it those who say only. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be

an arms race is also a spear in dramatic development only mostly 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 french energy company total withdraw all its stuff from mozambique the african nation faces a terror campaign but 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 mourns that almost a 1000000 people in mozambique require food aid because of the crisis but the

international community is seemingly reluctant to help sorties paulus lear takes us through. and here in downtown johannesburg heading to mozambique. last week insurgents affiliated with islamic state launched a raid on the northernmost town of palma ransacking buildings and murdering into hitting civilians. but because of. the latest attack is the biggest it's place in 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 did half of them civilians according to be united nations. 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 to get a good deal for you can go bananas i don't believe there will be people that will be able to leave there is the way we used to. ok like the billboard not to hurt people who were killed on the beach where i was some minister on the way but other state and military took women boys and children with them. you 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 gas industry with billions of dollars following the offshore

discover we are one of the largest natural gas fields in africa france with total which paid for the multi-billion dollar gas project in the area earlier the same did work because of rebel attacks this was not the 1st time that we're seeing on this state was a big in fact they have actually taken control of. the port which is a key port for region i traded 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 and 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 still response so far has been. 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 r.t. johannesburg south africa. a controversial russian blogger and prankster has found him at the center of a criminal investigation after his alleged reckless driving in central moscow led to a head on crash or teach for a long war in that. 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 me as if it'd been a behind the wheel when i arrived here just now as you can see is my car i lent it to friends who ended up in the crash i don't know what did happen to people when i was sold to me would be a camera some of them will generally be for you if you do driving your own car is that crackles know who you behind the wheel really doing snow you want whether you would hire it when you know i was behind the wheel moscow authorities claim that

his car violated the city's speed limit at least $400.00 times and this year alone the blogger faces 2 years behind bars and awaits trial at home though with some limitations he's under a nightly curfew and he's being 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 garcon sole became the 1st you. state 2 possibile making it illegal for doctors to provide gender affirming health care to transgender minors civil rights activists were quick to slam the laws on constitutional and violating human rights here's the take of our own dmitri polk.

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 supposed 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 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 that 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 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 while 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 gen y.

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 volkan benevolent corporations and celebrities. well for a deeper dive into the earth or indeed any of this our stories you'll find the latest news and views on our website always fresh content being on it there are 2. things.
