fatal shooting of a black man likely. follow there you watching r.t. international this cheese day afternoon she's gone 5 o'clock am in moscow i looked at 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 would like. to be.

an example baghdad. where the rally there was organized by the eye open movement which is calling for the rules to be relaxed however he was also joined by a far right greenpeace members 3 smoke bombs at police one protester was injured and another was arrested it easy restrictions in most regions after and he said wrote down but russia will remain closed until at least at the end of the month i mean take a total of resurfaces are permitted we spoke to some of those who were protesting. 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. 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 emerged on the head talian island of sicily while a cause is showing a high level of distrust in the astra zeneca vaccine according to the region's. isn't up to 80 percent of sicilians are refusing to get inoculated with the jab over safety phase public confidence in the anglo swedish jabbers being badly shaken by reports linking it to rare but potentially fatal blood clots we got the views of locals. 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 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. meanwhile u.s. health authorities are advising against the gates of the johnson and johnson vaccine after 6 recipients in the country developed blood clots for food and drug administration as well as the centers for disease control so they will stop using the vaccine federal sites although it's still up to individual states and whether to follow suit and the 7000000 americans have received that jab so far 9000000 more

doses have been exported johnson and johnson insists though no clear link has been made between these rare clots and the vaccine. the vaccine tourism is on the rise amid faltering rollouts and distrust in certain jabs we follow the french ministry all the way to moscow to get this but jap story to come in a few minutes time. 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 the biden ministration is also considering handing out cash to central american states to try to stop the influx critics though argue that the money would be better spent at home to help america's own people in need. reports. 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 that a lot of the. in 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 did ministration 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 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. actually 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 the 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 . second day of race riots in the u.s. state of minnesota see 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 as demonstrations preval and several area areas were looted and according to police protesters threw concrete blocks and offices reported leaving at least one injured police dispersed the crowd firing tear gas and flash grenades the state of emergency has also been declared people also took to the streets when you go from washington d.c. portland on monday to demand justice for dante writes he was fatally shot by police on sunday sparking the anger. they call them over who got it or problem or opinion from the war or. was. cut my brother in law why because they were under attack nobody knew about her

little. touch. i. rocks here and other objects out thrown at the police department there were reports of shots fired in the area of the police department. was that i don't want all of them all of it was almost let me order out of the wall because i want you know my. former officer dominic issac to tell us that the instant does show there are serious problems with the police force. this is either

bad training or this is a scared police officer 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 bore if this was absurd to go to a pistol have it in your hands. obviously have tunnel vision on the suspect 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. that government has announced that is going to dump contaminated water from the fukushima nuclear power plant into the pacific ocean where than a 1000000 tons will be released this way and the process will begin in about 2 years time and is expected to take a decade to complaint is that water will be filtered and looted to safe levels move has already provided 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. 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 disaster at the fukushima nuclear power plant struck in march of 2011 when a powerful earthquake hit your pan'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 decontaminated the government's plans to tackle you have caught 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 plans to dump waste water into the sea is the japanese fishing industry with fears of trace radioactivity contaminating fish and ending up on paypal's plates. my 3 sons will followed in my footsteps

and a fisherman if they contaminated water is discharged into the sea how can they make a living in the future i strongly oppose the decision to dump the waste water into the ocean. i am in shock i'm originally from fukushima and so i think i feel it more very shocked i do not wish at all for it to be released into the sea logical. when the disaster happened you had to act to treat the area through a decontamination. but then don't fully spread the contamination further after the disaster. the japanese government though 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 calling them quote transparent international atomic agency energy agency 2 has come to take defense stressing that the waste water will be decontaminated using internationally accepted technologies.

of use moscow has lashed out at the latest sanctions on iran saying the decision to impose them is worse than a crime. you are so used to if the e.u. lacks coordination 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 ongoing 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 block decides to sanction a group of senior iranian officials for their role and a crackdown on the protests that happened 2 years ago in 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 the iranian top diplomat jawad zarif during talks with these colleagues in iran blamed 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 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 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 one to restore it anyway the talks in vienna are resuming on wednesday. trying to reporting now anybody can get answers from the white house it seems after an online impostor managed to listen to putting questions to joe biden spokesperson artes to me to poke 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 speaking spread by russia or to you which is a hulu supported. funded by the russian 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 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 was 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 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 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 want 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

a police compared to the way the media behaved during the trying. 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 don't thing us can you give us a question don't be ridiculous or the question i mean i've got to give you an illustration you speak out of your fake news but you know if i mean one of the horse mispresent right for me i should have are you worried i should off 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 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 up 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. now the germany based pharmacy to company cure vax says it is having trouble producing its new vaccine because if u.s. export restrictions but if you can and the you have preordered almost half a 1000000000 but the wounds that 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

slipping down the list well the concerns to come after the biden administration and the so-called defense production act this was introduced during the cold war and it grants washington emergency powers to secure vital resources by prioritising its own orders has led to u.s. supplies struggling now to fill contracts at side the country professor of medicine dr rudolf the enter explained the possible ramifications. one think we know who sure used so many old school where were your transom materials that we need for research and for producing great scenes of course supplied by exit rows and many of them of course located in c. all night it states. they were going to. treat many important items in t. if indeed they are there will be a list which will sum this up low for the materials will cause chemicals and

many other. unnecessary to good use that work seems these would be a good talk however. i have to see you stare into color closely this. many people here for learning to mean time also a lot just remember that if you would be talking when you call we would be short on hitting masks seen people masks it time go lucky leap while it was 2 people or at least came from china and i think we just have to think it bold or do not use a pro years b.d. located of course in other parts of the world chose to consider trying not but also a shop so i think they will be able to not use twitter trees to secure the certs upload it is necessary. while stalling vaccination programs and that's about

some of the jabs on offer have led to a rise in so-called vaccine tourism among your a pain space i'm travelling as far failed 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 all britain's astra zeneca they don't fill me with confidence so why i chose the russian sport and 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 fronts and that's something to flow is not too happy about stores or great could be i regret that my country france is denying its citizens access to the sputnik 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 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 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. despite his 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 plus 30 cal may and you're on really change 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 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. now the biggest lobbying scandal in a generation has come to light in k. with the government there announcing an investigation into the former prime minister david cameron that after he held secret talks with ministers in a bid to get them to support a company he was working for with more details from london his. the british government announcing a review into green silk capital amid the david cameron lobbying groud former prime minister who worked as advise

a full green silk off the leaving number 10 as prime minister and he had contacted a number of government ministers to try to secure code funding loans for the company which had been struggling like many others over the course of the postes year it david cameron admitting that perhaps he hadn't handled the situation in the best way possible but denying that he had broken any rules i ever fled to. there are important lessons to be learned as a former prime minister i accept that communications with the government need to be done through only the most formal of china so there could be no room for misinterpretation the rouse dragged in a number of current ministers including the chancellor soon that cameron had sent him a text message and had replied saying that his team were working on it and also that he had pushed his team to explore if there were any funding alternatives that could be reached with banks for green silk capital it was also a phone call held between david cameron and. on the question of green so and also

a private drink held between lex green silk the founder of green silk capital amount how the health secretary to discuss a new payment scheme for n.h.s. stuff which one of his companies had been working on we understand that mr hancock wasn't in favor of green so capital being given any contracts is saying that it should be put out to competition and also we understand that he wanted to leave the decision to local n.h.s. managers as to whether to use that particular piece of technology now david cameron has also a welcomed that review and we look forward to seeing exactly what the findings will be. he serai reporting from london there so that's how the news is looking so far today here on r.t. don't forget they've got a website full of stories as always and you can find that at r.t. talk.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy you can foundation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic to follow only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by shaped by. the day or thinks. we dared to ask.

some explaining the truth of what's happening in america 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 bond yeah which are currently 30 years are roughly 2 percent now out of the coupon or the interest on those 30 year paid their pain from taxes collected from taxpayers and they 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 transfer mechanism so it's not inflation deflation feudalism. the national guard has

a once again been deployed in the state of minnesota this is a violent.
