because we also still if you believe the chief. business owners in rowing and square up to riot police demanding that the law down there is east we spoke to some of the. stuff. we are workers you know criminals full to this joe biden reportedly considers giving cash to central american states in the big dislike the influx of migrants a move slammed by critics at home as an insult to americans in need and this state of emergency is declared in minnesota where rice is flying to you for a 2nd night running for a police officer shot dead

a black man. and a good afternoon just gone 3 o'clock here in moscow you watching r t international now italian business owners demanding an exit from the comfort and saying they can't afford to stay any longer clashes broke out at a protest in right. i really. really good.

but the rally there was organized by the eye open movement which advocates for loosening lockdown restrictions and reopening businesses however it was also joined by a far right group whose members 3 smoke bombs police and protesters injured and another arrested italy's ease cobra frictions in most regions after the lock down but pressure on this will remain closed at least until the end of the month and take out a new piece of seeds are permitted but we spoke to some of the business owners who were protesting. them or know they fear the anger of the people but the people are angry for a reason there are serious reasons not enough attention has been paid to important 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. the state owes me but no help is coming i don't know how to make ends meet each month the expenses are fixed each

month there are more expenses than benefits we're desperate. 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. meanwhile pandemic concerns of a different kind of emerge from the entirely an island of sicily where low cost is showing a high level of distrust in the astra zeneca vaccine according to the region's president up to 80 percent of sicilians refuse to get inoculated with the jab over safety faces public confidence in the anglo swedish jabbers been badly shaken by reports linking it to read but potentially fatal blood clots and by conflicting recommendations to you on it she says we are stylin this is for their views. i turned down the astra zeneca vaccine because i don't think it's safe there 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 i heard about the thrombosis cases the percentage is minimal but given a choice i would feel more protected with a vaccine with fewer side effects the result was the possibility of an error but a virus is more dangerous than the vaccinate i would prefer to get vaccinated. there have been many deaths we don't know this is related to the vaccine or not we're all free at the moment i don't want to take the astra zeneca shot i'll probably wait for the. now washington has secured agreements with mexico honduras and guatemala to boost its troop presence at their borders in a bid to slow migration to the united states the move comes amid reports by the ministration is also considering handing cash to central american states to stop the flow critics though do say that the president should direct that money to help

america's own in need this kind of market explains. 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. 8 8 8 on the of the. earth. 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 what can

a 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 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 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 slain violence or persecution and our example pushed other nations to open wide their

doors as well it's not. 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 art see new york . so much that with america today because the 2nd day of race riots in the u.s.

state of minnesota the scene the city of brooklyn sent to flooded with the national guard young restless all of the fatal shooting of a black man by a police officer. they call them over who killed or probably north taken from the earth. my brother in law who lied because they were. known to the right.

rocky objects 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 the all of the above the moment we will have all of them all about it no one will know the. full paper which i took to the streets of new york and washington d.c. on monday to demand justice put on tell you right much chanting his name and some had banners that read driving while black should not be a death sentence former officer dominic isaac tell us that the incident now does show there are serious problems with 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 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 ality 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. now revenues that today moscow as national activity leaves latest sanctions on iran saying that my decision to impose them is worse than a crime. do you go to so user if the e.u.

lacks coordination and if the left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing that's unfortunate but if the decision was reached consciously i mean the only going to go shish ns in vienna to save the joint comprehensive plan of action then this is a mistake that is worse than the crime. donald trump who once did everything to room the landmark iran nuclear deal or the joint comprehensive plan of action is gone america's back with its diplomacy as they're putting it and the negotiators are back in vienna to try and correct the mistakes of the past few years so it looks like all the ingredients are there to fix the egremont but then all of a sudden comes extra trouble from the european union for the 1st time since 2013 the blog decides to sanction a group of senior iranian officials for their role and a crackdown on the protests that happened 2 years ago and iran immediately fights

back by cutting all talks with the european union on human rights and also by halting cooperation in dealing with such issues as terrorism drugs and refugees and all that is happening despite some initial positive signals from the capital of austria that is the state department coming back to the go sheeting table in the 1st place and also hinting at the possibility of easing some of the sanctions or the iranian president promising to restore full compliance if the sanctions are lifted the iranian top diplomat jawad zarif during talks whether it's colleagues in iran blame the european union for dancing to washington's tune and also said that there is no way that the iran could be forced into compliance through means of pressure such as unilateral. restrictions. 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 won't force us into negotiations with supporting terrorist regimes if they change the way they think and lift sanctions then we will again comply with their obligations under the nuclear deal so tensions are indeed running high and the process is in jeopardy but that's not the only thing that could worsen the situation because only a couple of days ago there was a very serious incident at one of iran's nuclear facilities it was a major explosion that led to a power card iran has already called that act of terrorism and blamed it on israel so like i said it seemed that the road to saving the rare nuclear deal was clear but something always seems to go wrong and this brings me to the question whether actually there are still more enemies of the joint comprehensive where in the west

rather than people who want to was stored anyway the talks in vienna are resuming on wednesday. frank reporting that now a group of activists in the us are entering their 3rd week of hunger strike over the saudi blockade of yemen the american base yemeni liberation movement is the biden ministration to make good on its promise to end support to the saudi campaign yemen is now him the grip of a full blown famine after a 6 year military onslaught by saudi arabia those operations arraigned propping up here saudi government again she the fight is which riyadh claims 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.

well according to the united nations 2000000 children under the age of 54 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 she thinks that a global response is needed to end the 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 in this role i mean you know you have to involve the united

nations france spain and so many other countries who are also involved 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 worse humanitarian crisis in the world you know these are people that struggle to find water and and struggle to be able to afford food and 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 yeah man. you're watching out international going to take a quick break and i will be back with more stories just after this.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be

an arms race. spearing dramatic development only mostly exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. again that the swedish government is facing flak for it all which potentially will potentially recognize polygamy a new bill meant to ban the recognition of polygamist marriages carried broad will allow exceptions in special cases. the government is the actions through the prohibition shall be possible only if there are exceptional reasons the part of it is clearly stated that no polygamy should be recognised in sweden nevertheless the government now has a bill recognize in polygamy in some cases when was it ok for patriarchal meant to

be married to several wives or current swedish law does ban polygamy but the issue does run into complications when coupled with the migrant crisis because immigrants into sweden paid thin 2016 but last year 80000 still entered the country and some of the migrants from the middle east travelled with multiple wives and issue sweden to would tressa let's get more discussion on this a speech in which the chief executive of the ramadan foundation in the u.k. north of kandahar is a member of the democratic party and former member of parliament you very both very welcome ken if i got to start with you please assaf the name. some members of your party concerned that exceptions are being made here is an array of you you share and you think this should be a complete ban. or do you share that view the problem with sweden in many cases in

many 'd. law is we have a lot of exceptions and those exceptions you know are being widely used maybe more than they should have. in essence obviously i don't think we should recognise polygamy at all if we don't think that's multicultural emotion the way you do it it's. just like the side where that should be allowed or ma'am let's bring you in here. there's a case there for a complete ban but obviously the swedish government looked at and said actually we're not going to name the exceptions but just in case there are exceptions we'll have this clause in there what's your view is this a sensible take or have they gone too far already. i think it's really difficult if you're going to ban something and say we're not going to introduce this in the way that we have then for you to make exceptions to the rules i think it's entirely proper for people. you know i'm happy married i'm more than happy to have one wife

. ever think about having more than one wife and i just don't think that the policy that has been introduced i get is part of a culture of demonization of muslims and islam across europe that we see in particularly some of those kundan a big countries the to the right this is not about polygamy it's about a handful of people who might partake in that practice this is a white context in which this time a 4 b.n. demonization of muslim is becoming mainstream and i think you're going to see it in that context can. you see the not context just reply to what mohammed has said. yeah well the thing is the whole notion what what what what he's saying is that we should accept this and if we don't we're you know racist or whatever and i didn't say i didn't say the summer for because i did not say that all i did and

said what i did and what it would be respected mischaracterizing what i actually said i said that if the government wants to die and it should go all the way and they should be exceptions but i'm saying that why did context in which this is being introduced is in an anti muslim agenda that's why i actually said that i was a muslim agenda and most of them a call it what you like but here's the thing. i am against the whole notion of multicultural society and what's sweet i'm a large parts of europe have done in the last many decades is introducing ways alights cultures way how you view women religious opinions that the new mix and should not mix with the swedish or for that matter you peel away allies it's not 'd. it's not it's home to be in europe to have all of these kinds of cultural phenomenon and it's as i said it weight has due dates to do

something about it the problem with swedish social democratic government is that they always leave the door open for misuse of the law which this exception might very well be you can't just come in there just quickly i'll give you an example of why this exception is put forward based on the basis that migrants have come into sweden and for example maybe many children there's one husband one father and he says look i've got a wife and you split up the family and you potentially if you don't have an exception in. well it doesn't matter in my case because we cannot adapt our society is to the ways of the people coming here it must obviously be the other way around that's what you do you take the custom to where you go i mean that's what you do you move to a country and then you adapt to the country and for a country to do the other way to adapt to whatever people we are welcoming it's

obviously the totally wrong way to go and i think western europe for example has proven that this idea has been wrong from the start ok ma'am and i can see shaking your head just respond to that i mean where do you start with that i mean people like kent and his ideology will be very happy not to have any refugees or have any people in the sims within europe that's the reality they're just not brave enough to say it's you know muslims have been a part of the fabric of european society for centuries many others like myself you know born in the united kingdom tony proud to be british subscribe to democracy you know human rights and equality and the idea that the responsibility to to make inclusive societies is just the responsibility of those commuting to a particular country or doors being from a particular minority i think is laughable and insulting responsibility to build an inclusive society where people's faith and cultures are respected within the

confines of the law that is more has make europe very very strong that's what makes britain a strong as it could treat it well you know what we see. your or your politics. in the politics has now driven by hate and actually what you will see there is actually a shortage of people accusing the judge and smaller hammett and well let me finish this 100 point and then you can come in are i think the vast majority of muslims who couldn't. europe who were born in europe have a way of contributing and be in power of european society i think not something to celebrate not to denigrate and the politics of division the politics of the far right which we read in this interview is on the way to our sure i can come in place it's an obvious fact we can see from the last decade in country after country in

europe that the notion of multiculturalism and immigration from these parts of the world is proven lee been a disaster and you're talking about this is a party to hate no it's actually the opposite we actually love our own culture and we want to protect our own people from the onslaught of meth immigration and multiculturalism and that has so many effect it has on a section gender and why when one is a little bit of a gender where you are a wimp of course you were an eyelash sr gen donna. and speak for 15 seconds and will come to you please carry on can't when violence is directed to the original populations when it's a sex thing the economy is in the worst way which is all research in area after area this has significantly damaged and continues to damage the original inhabitants of our european nations so what you're saying is provably wrong in as been so for 3040 years at least miami. well that's just rhetoric that you hear from

the far right it's not about what your opinion is it's about the fact that people like me and born in this country in the united kingdom i see myself as british as anybody else in this country i defend the norms the democracy the human rights as do so many millions of immigrants what this is about the reality is it's about hate it's about division not by the language that brings people together and you claimed these. culturalism has failed but actually i would successfully argue that people like me people like millions of british asians and muslims and people who've come and made the united kingdom have strength in the united kingdom in terms of the economy contributed to jobs building in terms of the n.h.s. for example they help also have with us that's been did over which i should like deming well well actually if you know i can insert a slur 6 people the 1st 6 people that died serving the people who were suffering

from the pandemic or the muslim. you know we're told. there are right. stream istar the point is wants to be running out of time here. and we're never going to show i know it's something if i just let you in coming just talk just get back to the issue of why we're here and this law and the proposal that the should be exceptions to this law when it comes to polygamy just to the 1st final to the 20 or so in the final 20 seconds to you ken. yeah well as i said we should adapt our society 'd their ways and customs of those people and there's a clear and present danger these exceptions will be used excessively as they often are in sweden so to leave that door open it's just a recipe for for something that's probably going to be. ok look we've run out of time we're going to leave it there but appreciate both your time this afternoon time's coming on to our tables mohammed fake chief executive of the ramadan

foundation in the united clunks only i can't say he's a member of the sweden democrats party thanks to you but thank you. thank you for watching just commit to half past 3 in moscow more from us to the topic. when else seems wrong. but all wrong just don't. let me. get to sleep out this day after. and in detroit equals the trade. went on any find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
