5:06 am
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 is one thing i can promise you is the u.s. government isn't going to be handing out money checks to people 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 white 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 is 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 a lamp a lot of liberty an oppressed people were offered safe havens for those slain violence or persecution and our example pushed other nations to open wide their doors as well it's not exact. clear what the end goal is and there's 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 $750000000.00 is 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 us aid so can we continue to just throw money at a problem and expect it to eventually be solved by will soon be celebrating his 100th day in office and he's got a major crisis on his hands with no end in sight they look up and are to see new york. second fun and race riots in the state of minnesota receive the city of brooklyn santa flooded with national guard troops from the state of

rocks and other objects thrown at the police department there were reports of shots fired in the area of the police department. the little wad all of the all of the right of whom i believe all the while i want them to know the. people also took to the streets of new york and washington d.c. on monday to demand justice for them to write a march 29 some have been as fleeting driving while black should not be a death sentence former officer dominick is told us the incident shows there are serious problems within the police force. 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 owe you can you
5:10 am
cue can mistake this was this was this was a or if this was absurd to go to a pistol have it in your hands you had she 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 and otality 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. mosco has branded the a use latest sanctions on iran is worse than criminal i come amid talks to try resurrect the iran nuclear deal it's good moon this now for montes it's a trend he joins me live good afternoon to extremely strong sounding words coming from moscow what has got them so annoyed. neal hello there well let's look at the
5:11 am
context 1st of all donald trump who once room to landmark so-called iran nuclear deal is gone and america is back along with its diplomacy as they're putting it the negotiators are in vienna to try and correct the mistakes of the past so it seems that all the gradients to fix the agreement are there and there are no issues on the horizon but then all of a sudden comes extra trouble the european union decides to sanction senior iranian officials for their role in a crackdown on protests that happened 2 years ago and that happens for the 1st time since 2013 iran immediately fights back by cutting cooperation with the european union halting all of its human rights talks and also when it comes to
5:12 am
dealing with terrorism fighting drugs and also dealing with the issues of refugees and during his talks with the russian foreign minister in iran the iranian foreign minister jawad zarif was very critical of what he called an act of his still a t. by the european union bloc. the americans have to realize that if they carry on with their policies the result will be the same they have to get rid of this mindset they have to wake up to the fact that sanctions don't work and that they have force us into negotiations about supporting terrorism genius if they change the way they think and lift sanctions and we will again consume with their obligations under the nuclear deal. now i can tell you that the latest decisions by the calm as real disappointed for terror on because we can remember when donald trump began destroying the iran nuclear deal step by
5:13 am
step we heard voices from europe who were very critical of that they were saying that it's very dangerous to somehow reverse the peace process and now we see that they are doing something that will now serve as clearly even more than a stumbling block because there were positive signals from vienna the state department officials were saying that they're ready for some kind of concessions when it comes to sanctions against iran and in response the president of iran said that they are ready to comply with their commitments to the deal if some sanctions are lifted by the u.s. and its partners but clearly something has gone wrong now and surrogate the russian foreign minister is definitely calling the actions by the european union a big mistake in this case. if the e.u.
5:14 am
lacks coordination if the left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing that's a problem but if the decision was reached consciously as part of an ongoing negotiations in vienna to save the joint comprehensive plan of action that's not just a problem is it's worse than criminal. to ship now all of this is happening after a very serious incident at one of iran's nuclear facilities there was an explosion that led to a power cut and iran has already called this an act of terrorism and blame it on israel and definitely this is another factor that harms the talks and establishes the situation so really if there are those who want to continue bearing the iran nuclear deal perhaps they can be happy with the latest developments. bring is the story thank you. moving on
5:15 am
a group of activists in america are entering the 3rd week of a hunger strike it's over the saudi blockade of yemen the u.s. based yemeni liberation movement is by demonstration to make good on its promise to end support to the saudi campaign yemen is now in the grip of a full blown famine after a 6 year military onslaught by saudi arabia those operations around propping up yemen's government are going to sheer who think fighters claims to be terrorists the war has directly or indirectly claimed almost a quarter of a 1000000 lives 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.
5:16 am
according to the u.n. $2000000.00 children under the age of 5 will suffer acute malnutrition in yemen this year if the blockade continues and that could result they save 400000 deaths we heard from one of the leading activists involved in the hunger strike she thinks a global response is needed to end the war. we're not talking about just the united states who is involved although they are 'd a vital supporter and a key supporter in this in 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 that you know there should be a huge uproar i mean we are literally day by day watching the worst humanitarian
5:17 am
crisis in the world you know these are people that struggle to find water and and struggle to of be able to afford food in 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 we 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. so vermont's of subzero temperatures in france have decimated the country's great crop swelling disaster for many of the countries winemakers farmers a having to get creative in a desperate bid to salvage what they come of the harvest.
5:18 am
france has lost a significant amount of its harvest it's estimated that we have possibly lost around 30 percent nationwide to talking about the $12.00 to $15000000.00 accelerators 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 others like me a modern looking underwent effect so badly when you look at the situation on the whole it's a really big problem look at the same time we have also been other problems
5:19 am
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. so the company allan thank german based in vaccine manufacturers says u.s. export restrictions are putting vaccine production at risk and the full story after this short break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. and spearing dramatic development the only move really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.
5:20 am
let me explain it the ugly truth of what's happening in america so you've got these tens of trillions of dollars worth of debt and having to 50 trillion dollars worth of debt which is just another way to say u.s. government 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 and they taxpayers pay those taxes to the federal government who in turn pay off the bondholders who own those bonds the richest 110th of one percent so wealth transfer mechanism so it's not inflation deflation feudalism. anyone cannot get on so in the want house least that's the impression given after
5:21 am
an online imposter months to journalists and putting her questions joe biden spokesperson these to me to power explains what happened to me was it shows have you ever wondered who gets to ask the questions at the white house well for channels like artsy or independent journalists it's practically impossible instantly you get accusations of being propaganda fake news and so on big news that's being spread by russia or to you which is supported. by. the russian government fake news has dominated the. true you 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 just for yourself an online game or manage to get in for questions to jen psaki biden's
5:22 am
press secretary by just pretending to be a white house reporter a few fake created a profile as casey leggo 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 montagu then asked credentialed reporters in the white house press room so a pass on her questions because she couldn't make it there to call 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 wouldn't show us some transparency and ask some questions me and some friends wanted the answer to and she's not the only one fed up with the real journalists ever since biden circa office the prez briefings in the white house have turned into
5:23 am
a game of softball at least compared to the way the media behaved during the trumpet ministration back then everyone suddenly had a sense of journalistic duty to ask the hard questions and grill the administration over everything and anything this president like go ahead you say candidates get a question because of the like can you give us are closer to your knitting us can you give us a question don't be ridiculous for the question i mean i've got to give you can use that you can use a kind of your fake dues but you know if i may ask one of the course of this president but maybe 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 out for you that's enough. on the mike was 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
5:24 am
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 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. 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 and all that's apparently all it takes to become a white house approved journalist these days. germany based pharmaceutical company says it's having trouble producing its new vaccine because of u.s. export restrictions both the u.k. and the preordered almost half a 1000000000 says the firm now warms those orders or risk. global supply chains are disrupted be it chemical sequent meant filters or hoses u.s. manufacturers are obliged 1st to meet american demand and that means we are
5:25 am
slipping down the list the concern comes out of the bind the ministration in by the so-called defense production act introduced during the cold war and grants washington emergency powers to secure vital resources by prioritizing its orders the made those led to u.s. supply struggling to fulfill contracts outside the country professor of medicine dr rudolph alone to explain the possible implications of the me. 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 supplied by 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 low for the materials will cost chemicals and
5:26 am
many other. that are necessary to good use that work seems these would be a good talk however. has to see you through your color closely. many people here sir learn things you mean time also a lot just remember if you would be talking when you call we would be short on who think masks super people masks their time go lucky leave while the last 2 people are at least came from china and i think we just have to think it all to the alternative suppliers bt located of course in other parts of the world chose to consider trying not to and also our shop so i think that there will be alternatives to it the trees to secure the sorts of programs necessary. stalling vaccination programs and doubts about some of the jobs on offer have led to
5:27 am
a rise in vaccine tourism among europeans with some travelling as far afield as russia to be inoculated here. micha do flow is a lawyer from leon and he has his own opinion about the vaccine situation. 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 britons ask for the seneca they don't fill me with confidence so why i chose the russian sputnik 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 flow is not too happy about stores or good could be i regret that my country france is denying its citizens access to the sport make a vaccine for reasons unrelated to health or medicine so if support nick doesn't fly to me i'll fly to get it out of access while on
5:28 am
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. no i'm not concerned i might have been more worried if it was a different vaccine i won't 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 is still a long way to travel for an injection but all men can force a new monkey despite the fact that there is a vaccine shortage in france they have to decide who should get vaccinated 1st it was also shows that we don't have enough those says even though there is a vaccine available it is their choice and i think that this is a criminal choice this was it despite his 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 with the country of the scientists past and the how may and go wrong
5:29 am
with the really change the health situation in the world for the better and today we're lagging behind france is the only and so how would a member of the u.n. security council but has not developed its own vaccine mortal to 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. that with updates for you in half an hour. when else seems wrong but all just don't call. me world yet to shape out this day become educated and in gains from it because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
