their very good morning thanks for joining us here on r.t. . italian restaurant demanding an exit from the covert lot down they said it could no longer afford to remain closed clashes broke out on authorized protest in rome. and that rally was organized by the open movement which advocates for loosening down restrictions on reopening businesses but it was also joined by a far right group whose members 3 smoke bombs at the police on protesters injured another arrested at least covert restrictions in most regions after an east along down restaurants will remain closed at least until the end of. only takeout or

delivery services are currently permitted we spoke to some of the protesting business so this m.o. not the fear the anger of the people but the people are angry for a reason there are serious reasons not enough attention is being paid to water issues affecting the sector they have been hit by wrong and unfair decisions resources have not been allocated in a supportive or equitable way for restaurant owners. to start the state owes me but no help is coming i don't know how to make ends meet not each month the expenses are fixed each month there are more expenses than benefits we are desperate. to but we are in the square because we have the right to demonstrate this is a dictatorship maybe it's fine for brussels but not for us we are workers not criminals with. regional sicily locals there are showing a high level of distrust in the astra zeneca vaccine according to the region's president about 80 percent to syrians refused to be in or kill

a to with the job out of fears over safety public confidence in the endless swedish jobs been badly shaken by reports linking it to rare potentially fatal blood clots and by conflicting recommendations overseas we hit the island streets to get people's opinions but i turned down the astra zeneca vaccine because i don't think it's safe they have been several suspicious cases in sicily and for that reason i preferred not to risk my health. from what i've heard so far i do not trust it heard about the thrombosis cases but the percentage is minimal but given a choice i would feel more protected with the vaccine with fewer side effects. the result was the possibility of a narrow set of the virus is more dangerous than the vaccination i would prefer to get vaccinated you know that there have been many deaths we don't know this is related to the vaccine or not we are all free at the moment i don't want to take the astra zeneca shot you probably wait for the you know i growing distrust in

western jabs among europeans is led to a rise in vaccine tourism to moscow to be inoculated here. micha do flow is a lawyer from leon and he has his own opinion about the vaccine situation of holes will mean there are currently enough vaccines in france and not everyone can get vaccinated where they want to without waiting we 1st of all i don't trust the vaccines offered to us whether it's the american vaccine all britains astra zeneca they don't fill me with confidence so why chose the russian sport like the jab which i think is much safer and more effective. the russian vaccine has not yet been approved by the european medicines agency so it's not in france and that's something to float is not too happy about what our stores or good could be live regret but my country france is denying its citizens access to the sputnik vaccine for reasons unrelated to health or medicine so if support like doesn't fly to me i'll fly to get it. while on

a business trip to moscow to flow decided to get inoculated against corona virus he didn't seem nervous before getting his long awaited job you. know i'm not concerned i might have been more worried if it was a different vaccine i would name it but in france it's being heavily criticized now in this case i might have been more afraid however maître do flow things it's still a long way to travel for an injection but all men can force. the fact that there is a vaccine shortage in prague they have to decide who should get vaccinated 1st which also shows that we don't have enough though says even though there is a vaccine available it is their choice and i think but this is a criminal choice because it despite its technology and experience france has not developed its own vaccine never really i really regret that we're in this situation but i think it's because france no longer has the scientific potential to develop such things we are the country of the scientists past and how may and you're on the

really changed the health situation in the world for the better and today we're lagging behind. france is the only member of the un security council but has not developed its own vaccine. do flu will get the 2nd sputnik 3 job in 3 weeks during his next trip then he can go home with one less thing to worry about. so the government german based vaccine manufacturer says u.s. export restrictions are putting vaccine production risk that's coming up. the 2nd day of the race riots in minneapolis is seen in the u.s. city flooded with national guard troops from the state of emergency declared in the rest follows the fatal shooting of a black man by a police officer. if you get pulled over. pulled them over. taken from the our.

i. rocks. thrown at the police department there were reports of shots fired in the area of the police department. but i don't want all of my. people also took to the streets of new york on monday to demand justice for the

rights thank march chanting his name was banished leaving driving while black. be a death sentence for him or officer dominic is a told his incident as there are serious problems with the police because. this is either bad training or this is a scared police officer and a story the problem i'm going to have for me personally as you're going to see a lot of blue live supporters who are going to be jumping to the aid of this police officer saying that it's a high stress circumstance we don't know what she was thinking we'll you can you cue can mistake this was this was this was a point this was absurd to go to a pistol have it in your hands. obviously had tunnel vision on the suspects how you can mistaken mistakenly grab your pistol instead of your taser after you have had training that makes no sense to me whatsoever you use your hands usually at that taser has been proven over and over and over again to be not

a complete tool in totality is going to wind up helping the scene out and it is just done this is put more cops under the false a false security that a tool is going to replace words and physicality and this is a problem. washington secure the agreements with the mexican hunters and what tamala to boost its troop presence and the borders thought in a bid to slow migration to america the move comes amid reports the buddah ministration is also considering handing cash to central american states to stem the flow of critics say the president should be direct that money to help america's own innate in them open house more details. with 170000 people picked up along the u.s. border just last month the migrant crisis is rapidly spinning out of control and the biden administration is scrambling to deal with it and the current plan dollars and lots of them in the form of foreign aid president biden wants to try and buy a way out of his border crisis with taxpayer money the administration is spending

$60000000.00 a week and now wants to launch a cash transfer program in central america this insults millions of americans who are out of work in our country the plan is for billions of dollars to go to guatemala honduras and el salvador now it's not exactly clear how this is going to work but the white house insists it won't be just direct cash payments to potential migrants let's not forget that back in 2009 the usa worked to topple the government of honduras ushering in a decade of instability and chaos let's also remember that wot amala has had various u.s. backed military regimes so what exactly led to this stampede toward the u.s. border the trail goes straight back to the white house the united states says moral leadership on refugee issues was a poor in a bipartisan consensus for so many decades when i 1st got here we shine a light into lamp a lot of liberty an oppressed people were offered safe havens for those fleeing

violence or persecution and our example pushed other nations to open wide their doors as well it's not exactly clear what the end goal is and there is not really a record of success here foreign aid to us aligned regimes in central america that have free market economies is certainly not a new concept in fact the u.s. state department has been showering the region with money for decades 750000000 dollars was provided to central american countries between 20142017 now the stated goals of all that foreign aid was roughly the same as what biden is proposing and people. remained poor desperate and they continued fleeing 2019 donald trump took the dramatic move of halting u.s. aid so can we continue to just throw money at a problem and expect it to eventually be solved biden will soon be celebrating his 100th day in office and he's got a major crisis on his hands with no end in sight up and artsy new york.

students at the university in the united kingdom will not be marked down for making spelling mistakes because that could be treated as elitist the uni has decided lecturers of been told to ignore bad english and some subjects to ensure people from different backgrounds are equal opportunities as part of a growing trend the university of the arts london recently told not to impose correct english on students was to university says students should only be judged on their knowledge of the subject people on twitter were quick to give low marks to the new grading policies.

english the english language is a living language so of course one's going to recognise there's going to be new words new terms which we should in a multi-cultural society embrace but the basics of english have to still be there the basics of grammar have to be taught the major problem is that we're sending too many people to university who haven't got the basics the basics need to be taught at junior school and at secondary school that's where we're going wrong we've moved from teaching the basics i mean for goodness sake those even suggestions that people should be able to answer exam questions at g.c.s.e. g.c.s.e. level with text speech no they shouldn't that doesn't mean you can't use dialect that doesn't mean you can't use some of the language of the street but within the whole structure it has to be english recognised in that we should not lower the

standards of the modern majority to help the minority but we should put in place for that monarchy you know we need to have extra classes or whatever our own and standing but in the end you have to be able to read and write the queen's english surely. this in america enter 3rd week of a hunger strike demanding washington stop supporting the saudi closure in yemen which led to a severe famine details after the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. let it be an arms race. theory dramatic. only move. will be

very critical. to sit. in. the truth of what's happening in america you've got these tens of trillions of dollars worth of debt. 50 trillion dollars worth of debt which is just another way to say u.s. treasury bonds. which are currently 30 years are roughly 2 percent now out of the coupon or the interest on those 30 year paid they're paid from taxes collected from taxpayers taxpayers pay those taxes to the federal government who in turn pay off the bondholders who own those bonds just 110th of one percent so while transfer mechanism so it's not inflation deflation.

welcome back a group of bank in america are entering the week of a hunger strike over the saudi blockade of yemen the u.s. based yemeni liberation movements urging the body to ministration to make good on its promise to end support to the saudi campaign in yemen it is now in the grip of a full blown. military onslaught by saudi arabia those operations are aimed at propping up yemen's government against shia who. claims to be terrorists the was directly or indirectly claimed almost a quarter of a 1000000 lives that's according to the u.n. and the crisis appears to be getting even worse with the saudi blockade preventing vital supplies from entering yemeni ports.

according to the united nations 2000000 children under the age of 5 will suffer acute malnutrition in yemen this year if the blockade continues and that could result in 400000 deaths we heard from one of the leading activists involved in the hunger strike who thinks that a global response is needed to end this war. we're not talking about just the united states who is involved although they are a vital supporter and a key supporter in this and this role i mean you know you have to involve the united nations france. spain and in so many other countries who are also involved in in supplying arms to the saudi coalition but absolutely you know there should be

a huge uproar i mean we are literally day by day watching the worst humanitarian crisis in the world you know these are people that struggle to find water and and struggle to be able to afford food just imagine that this is a constant daily life and why are we not hearing from these world leaders why are we not hearing from from the from other nations who should be extremely outraged that this could be this could happen to any other country and we should all equally be as enraged and absolutely that the world needs to talk more about what's going on in yemen. some news in brief a student at a high school in knoxville tennessee has been killed by police after he opened fire the suspect a barricaded himself in a bathroom and officer was injured in the exchange of fire. locals in a village in georgia broke through a police cordon surrounding the construction site of a new hydro power plant they are furious that they were excluded from talks on the

the so-called defense production act this was introduced during the cold war and it grants washington emergency powers to secure vital resources by prioritizing its orders the move has led to u.s. supplies struggling to fulfill contracts outside of the country often professor of medicine not to read off well and to explain the possible implications of the me. one thing we know who sure used so many old school who are your trans materials that we need to research in for producing great scenes of course applied to exit rows and many of them of course look you can see all night it states. they were going to. many important items in t. if indeed they are there will be a list which will sum this up lol for the materials of course chemicals and many other. that are necessary to good use that work seems. to be it's

a good talk however. i have to see you stirred into color closely. many people have learned things you mean time also a lot just remember though if you would be talking when you call we would be short on the think masks secret people masks it is time to go lucky leave while the austin people are at least came from china and i think we just have to think it all to the alternative suppliers b.d. located cause in other parts of civil world chose to consider trying not but also a shop so i think that there will be alternatives to it to choose to secure the sort of supply that is necessary. several mines have subzero temperatures in france have decimated the country's great crop spelling disaster

for many of the countries winemakers promise or having to get creative in a desperate bid to salvage what they can of their harvest. ready ready. france has lost a significant amount of his harvest it's estimated that we have possibly lost around 30 percent nationwide we're talking about $12.00 to $15000000.00 hits a liters at least that's roughly equivalent to what france explores almost every

year but there are also people who have lost 90 or even 100 percent of certain types of vines some of my friends are living in a real nightmare for those like me a modern lucky underwent affected so badly when you look at the situation on the whole it's a really big problem look at the same time there's also been other problems especially covert and the shutdown of our main markets especially for winemakers small why make it work a lot with restaurants the sector is closed restaurants are closed and it's not clear when they'll be open. again or who posed as a reporter for a nonexistent outlet has managed to infiltrate the white house cause she managed to get some of her questions but jen psaki is dmitri pound has a story. have you ever wondered who gets to ask the questions at the white house well for channels like r t or independent journalists it's practically impossible instantly you get accusations of being propaganda fake news and so on bake news that's being spread

by russia or to you which is a hulu supported. funded by the russian or the russian government fake means has dominated the true had lines fake news spread by russia fake news fake news kremlin spread misleading or otherwise fake news of course they explain it as holding up journalistic standards or something like that well ok so just how high are these standards well judge for yourself in online game or manage to get in for questions to jen psaki biden's press secretary by just pretending to be a white house reporter a few fake twitter handles that's all it took the gamer who is real identity is still unknown created a profile as casey lego montagu who pretended to be a reporter for a non-existing news agency called white house news several white house officials even followed her on twitter montague then asked credentialed reporters in the white house press room so

a pass on her questions because she couldn't make it there to code the regulations and stuff like that and they did no credentials no background check nothing and this laziness or incompetence or whatever you want to call it on the part of the white house press team is exactly what led montague to do all this in the 1st place i love journalism and i think the press corps is doing a pretty bad job at the moment so i decided i would ensure some transparency and ask questions me and some friends wanted the answer to and she's not the only one fed up with real journalists ever since biden circa office the pres briefings in the white house have turned into a game of softball at least compared to the way the media behaved during the trump administrator. back then everyone suddenly had a sense of journalistic duty so i ask the hard questions and grill the administration over everything and anything this president like go ahead you think candidates are going to question bill comes in like can you give us a closer view or don't thing us can you give us

a question don't be ridiculous but why should you not going to give you can use to you can you speak out of your fake news but you know if i may ask one of the course of this president for me i should have a horse are you worried i should know that sort of president i think that's an ask one of the other folks that stood up for you that's enough put down the mike mr president are you worried about indictments coming down in the supposed. but with biden's team it's a snooze fest screened questions scripted answers no accountability and a lot of circling back we will circle back with you if there's more to update you on that we'll have to take that question to you and circle back with you circle back on that one that's an excellent question i don't have any information in front of me both are excellent questions and the 1st one i should have information on but i'll have to follow up with you on both of them i don't fool leave that we have outlined that yet let me we can follow up with you if there's a specific timeline that we're putting out publicly at this point go ahead. so it's no surprise that even regular people are getting tired of this all and even going

as far as getting their own questions into the white house because hey if you have the proper twitter angle that's apparently all it takes to become a white house approved journalist these days if we show you company but with the dates on the top stories and how often are. no look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the 1st law show your identification for should be very careful about official intelligence and the point of view screen is to create trusts. conflict on various shots and with artificial intelligence will summon the demon. the obama's protect its own existence as the excuse for the.

same wrong. rowles just don't hold. any belief yet to shape out of disdain becomes agitated and indeed from an equal to trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the national guard has a once again been deployed in the state of minnesota this is a violent protest and the looting has erupted following the shooting of a dante right but is the anger justified we're going to bring you the facts of the situation as well as our expert analyst weighs in. on has just crashed an effort to

unionize its workers in alabama we're going to take a look at this vote and compared to how another company owned by jeff bezos of the washington post has covered unions in voting xin other situations does hypocrisy exist well we're going to debate and president biden is considering expanding the supreme court but even members of his own party are very cautious there's more justice happen when there's more justice is what we're going to break it down with our legal analyst lionel and our favorite gun toting political panel is back to give you the 360 view of the president's executive orders on gun control i am scardino hughes this is an idiot use and you're watching r t america. thank you for joining us you know we're going to start this week with turmoil once again in the state of minnesota as

a nother police involved shooting involving an african-american male is causing anger in the community of brooklyn center now this is the derrick shot and trial continues just 10 miles right down the road and the people of minneapolis are already on edge hoping they will not see a recurrence of the riots and violent protest of last summer the details of this event involving the shooting which happened on sunday night are still being released but here's actually what we know around 2 pm central police said they were trying to take mr wright into custody after learning during a traffic stop of an outstanding warrants the man got back in his vehicle and of sir shot him with a single bullet and mr wright then was able to drive several blocks before striking another vehicle the officer who was involved in the shooting has been put on leave and body cam has been released to discuss the situation what happens next we bring in dominick is the author of before the.
