it will create more growth so i don't see why we shouldn't also fight for the interest something into st paul except that we are british and we want regulation i was an industry and if we don't behave when you spin or 2 you must fight. fighting for their livelihoods desperate business owners in rome clash with police as they demand their businesses are released from down we spoke to some of the. real work criminals. joe biden reportedly considers handing cash to central american states in a bid to stem the influx of migrants the idea catches some flak though at home with critics dubbing it's an insult to americans in. the state of emergency. where

rioters flighted a curfew for a 2nd night running after another they are shooting of a black man by pulling. away their good afternoon just gone for hockey in the russian capital watching r.t. international i look down and destroying lives not saving them that's the cry from business owners in rome who are demanding an immediate end to the restrictions tensions boiled over during a protest in the italian capital. i think right. now that. would be good. if you.

have an underground bunker. that. the rally was organized by the i open movement which is calling for the rules to be relaxed however it was also joined by a far right creep whose members 3 smoke bombs at police one protester was injured and another was arrested italy has eased restrictions in most regions after an easter lockdown but fresh strong still remain closed at least until the end of the month i mean takeout food delivery services will be permitted we spoke to some of those protesting them oh no 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 affixed 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 with. pandemic concerns of a different kind of a merged on the italian island of sicily well of course there is sharing a high level of distrust to the astra zeneca vaccine according to the region surprises. and 80 percent of severe sicilians are refusing to get inoculated with the jab over safety fears public confidence in the anglo swedish jab has been badly shaken by reports linking it to rare but potentially fatal blood clots we asked our lenders 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 but 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 if the virus is more dangerous than the vaccine 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 sputnik the. but also to come back to tourism is on the rise at the moment i'm a faltering rollouts and distrust in certain jobs later on in the program we follow one french street all the way to moscow here to get the sputnik. that washington has secured agreements with mexico honduras and guatemala to boost

its troop presence at the borders in a bid to slow migration to the united states the move comes amid reports the biden administration is also considering handing out catch to central american states to stop the influx critics though argue that the money would be spector spent at home to help america's own people in need this kind of market expects. 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 with a lot of political power. 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 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 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 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. will stay with america because the 2nd day of race riots in the u.s. state of minnesota has seen national guard troops to pull to the streets of brooklyn sent. thank you i don't know how. i. hundreds gathered outside the local police station in violation of a curfew which had been imposed due to the bottom private says police dispersed the crowd firing tear gas and flash grenades the state of emergency has also been declared people are also took to the streets today with new york and washington d.c. on monday to demand justice for don't take right he was fatally shot by police on sunday sparking the anger.

they call them over get more problematic hanging from the war or. was. cut my brother in law why because they were under attack nobody knew but from the right. the 2. i. rocks here and other objects thrown at the police department

there were reports of shots fired in the area of the police department. was i don't want all of them all of those but at the moment let me hold out i want to i want you know. my former officer dominic isaac to tell us that the instant those show that there are serious problems with the police folks. scared of police officer and 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. obviously have 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 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. no honeys today moscow has nashton to the slightest sanctions on iran saying the decision to impose them is worse than a crime. do you want to so use or if he you 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 and with the own doing negotiations 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 is 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 her on 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 by 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 there was a major explosion that led to a power card tehran has already called that an act of terrorism and blamed it on israel so like i said it seemed that the road to saving the iran 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 plan in the west rather than people who 12 with stuart anyway the talks in vienna are resuming on wednesday. thank you reports still to come here this hour the white house says that red faced after an impostor tricks their way into the media briefing and he manages to get that questions fired off to the press secretary but have a look at how they did that she's tough. 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 probably 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. some explaining the truth of what's happening in america so you've got these tens of trillions of dollars worth of debt heading 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 taxpayers pay those taxes to the federal government who in turn pay off the bomb holders who own those bonds the richest 110th of one percent so wealth transfer mechanism so it's not inflation deflation feudalism. again not japan's government has announced it's going to dump contaminated water from the fukushima nuclear power plant into the pacific ocean within a 1000000 tons will be released this way the process will only begin in 2 years' time and is expected to take decades to complete as the water will be filtered and diluted to safe levels 1st the move has already provides anger from neighboring countries. despite doubts and opposition from home and abroad japan

has unilaterally decided to release the fukushima nuclear waste water into the sea before exhausting all safe ways of disposal and without fully consulting with neighboring countries and the international community this is highly irresponsible and will severely affect human health and the immediate interests of people in neighboring countries. you have been on the japanese government's decision is absolutely unacceptable the decision to release the fukushima tank water into the scene not only threatens the safety of neighboring countries and the marine environment but also as a measure unilaterally decided without sufficient discussion agreement with our country which is the nearest neighboring country. or disaster at the fukushima nuclear power plant struck back in march of 2011 when a powerful earthquake hit japan's east coast that led to a massive tsunami which triggered one of the worst nuclear disasters on record so far the plant hasn't been completely decamped decontaminated the government's plans

to tackle the issue have of course some flak including at home people have rallied outside the prime minister's office calling on the government to reverse its decision among those strongly opposed to taking his plans to dump waste water into the sea is the japanese fishing industry which phase of trace radioactivity contaminating fish and then being up on people's plates that i am in shock i'm originally from fukushima and so i think i feel it more very shocked i do not wish a tool for it to be released into the sea logical to look at and when the disaster happened you had to act to treat the area through decontamination but then don't for this to spread the contamination further after the disaster. people buy are stupid products to eat and some products they eat raw without cooking or processing these raw products will become very dangerous as japan dumps nuclear. into this japan's decision hit us hard our business has already hit rock bottom due to the

covert $1000.00 pandemic and we are struggling to survive every day this will be true even more so if we separate this double whammy. we used to often by squeak to it but now we only buy a little of the nuclear waste water is discharged into the sea the not only japanese products but also our south korean products will be affected i thought that sickens me i think the government should strongly protest against japan. and the japanese government stands by its decision claiming that it's the only feasible way to tackle the consequences of the 2011 disaster the us is back japan's plans to calling them quote transparent the international atomic energy agency has come to take the fence stressing that the wastewater will be decontaminated using internationally accepted technology so let's get more on this now and speak with dr sharon george she's lecturer in environmental sustainability and green technology

at kiel university in the united kingdom you very welcome thanks for coming on today what are your thoughts see i mean we've heard assurances from japan international organizations say look don't worry about this but then we hear great concerns from china and also science career all those fears legitimate do you think . i think what when it comes to radiation the danger is that we're scattered radiation it's an invisible thing we know it's toxic we know it can hama that the key thing here is the is is the strengths about radiation and that the treatment that this was has already gone through before would be released into the disaster house and. if it was it was horrendous and since then the waters have to be used to stop back that contamination and keep everything cool but this was a house to go somewhere so in the meantime been stored it been decontaminated took

point now where he's safe as long as the guy lives in the law and the quantities to tend to the ocean where he really dilutes to age and it will be. safe levels in terms of human life and a foot of course the issue is that any way they shouldn't that isn't natural in the environment tension is not ok so i suppose the fear is there could be unforseen consequences here. well that some of the concessions all things like when we when we put anything into the environment should be that as the lender can the wrong place i mean when we think about toxicity of things you know it's only talk sic if we shouldn't be and when it can cause harm and the problem is that we've you know we've created this problem it's the man made problem and now we would put this substance in standby meant to want to consider things like you know we've heard people concerned about fish and they might buy accumulates in the tissue of

organisms well that the type of that one of the component the one of the one of the . chemicals that people worries are to is tritium that doesn't stay toxic very long in. tissue and the risk that posed to humans is very very low for me the likelihood of cause a serious harm is low but then you know there's all the harm this perception i think that one of the failings here is that in the communication we had countries we really anxious about what happened about the lack of communication and discussion about things and you know that there people's livelihoods as well that we just thought if this isn't handled properly will there be any monitoring a machine that would be but as this is being released as it is planned to do. will the ocean be monitored to check his impact and will it be staggered. yeah well the

plan is not to just release all all of the water and want it's going to be you know a gradual release and the action has been really money to own and thanks court in the area been monitored since the accidents of course after the accidents there were high levels of radiation that happened to our you know this that and so compared to. that initial where they stay so it isn't really going to cause the same of that so any any significant harm and but i think one of the the main things that need to be done now is communicating that risk and reassuring people and being transparent during those tests and showing those results and showing people that it's safe it's one thing saying it is quite another showing it to the think you know scientists and governments have got a lot to do to test and make sure it's safe and show they say

interesting cheryl even there but really good to get your thoughts on this afternoon let's talk to sharon george she's a lecturer in environmental sustainability and green technology a care university thanks for coming up. how many body can get answers from the white house it seems that after an online impostor did manage to keep journalists into putting her questions to joe biden spokes person auntie's dmitri powell explains what happened. 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 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 just for yourself an 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 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 a game of softball a police compared to the way the media behaved during the trial. but 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 present like good you think candidates are going to question bill president like can you give us a closer view or did anything else can you give us a question don't be ridiculous or why should i not get to give you can use to you can you speak out or you are fake but you know if i mean one of the course of this president for me i shouldn't know 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

put down 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 of me full there excellent questions in the 1st one i should have information on but 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 angle that's apparently all it takes to become a white house approved journalist these days. storming vaccination programs and

that's about some of the jobs on offer have led to a rise in so-called vaccine tourism among your of pains with some troubling as far afield as russia to be inoculated. micha do flow is a lawyer from leon and he has his own opinion about the vaccine situation of holes who will mean there aren't currently enough vaccines in france and not everyone can get vaccinated where they want to without waiting 1st of all i don't trust the vaccines offered to us whether it's the american vaccine or britain's astra zeneca they don't fill me with confidence so why i chose the russian sport nick v. 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 front and that's something to flo is not too happy about stores or great could be i regret that my country france is denying its citizens access to the sport make 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 a business trip to moscow to flow decided to get inoculated against coronavirus 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 it's still a long way to travel for an injection but all men can force despite the fact that there is a vaccine shortage in france they have to decide who should get vaccinated 1st which also shows that we don't have enough doses even though there is a vaccine available it's their choice and i think that this is a criminal choice because despite its technology and experience france has not developed its own vaccine never i really regret that we're in this situation i

think it's because france no longer has the scientific potential to develop such things we are the country of the scientists past how may and go on really change the health situation in the world for the better and today we're lagging behind france is the only power wouldn't member of the un security council that has not developed its own vaccine. do flu will get a 2nd sputnik 3 job in 3 weeks during his next trip then he can go home with one less thing to worry about. so that's how the news is looking at seyfarth today here not international good to have you company will be back with more stories in about half an hour.
