no jerry thinks. we dare to ask. anglo merkel is accused of attacking german democracy she pleads with parliament to grant a more powers to impose sanctions all over the country. now is the time to deal with. washington sends a mixed message to russia which joe biden calls for a stable relationship while imposing more sanctions. washington has to understand that there will be a price for the degradation of bilateral relations and it is the u.s.

that is entirely responsible for war it's happening on twitter bans the founder of the investigative journalist group project or a task that after its latest expose a in which a c.n.n. executive let slip the channels coverage is biased in favor of the black lives matter movement and words can kill the both forget it is now officially part of the british army but one regiment has been told to use basic language to avoid causing . that afternoon just gone 4 o'clock in moscow you're watching r.t. international now the german chancellor has been accused of attacking the country's democracy that after angela merkel pleaded with lawmakers to pass a bill that would allow the federal government to impose regional curfews and lock downs without the consent of local authorities it does come as the country grapples

with the spiraling covert situation. we're slamming on the brakes nationwide i'm convinced a nationwide imagine see stop is overdue and urgently needed a lauren measures have a single goal to lead our country ad of this terrible phase of managing infections ultimately what i'm going to merkel wants is changes to the infection protection act that would allow her to not just to say this is what you should be doing but to be able to say this is what is going to happen the way it works here in germany with their federal system is all those things can be decided from the federal government in berlin how they're implemented on the ground particularly when it comes to covert 19 restrictions are left up to the interpretations of the governments of the 16 states that make up germany now what angle america wants to do is take some of those powers from the states and have them for herself well as you can imagine not everybody is happy with that outside of the bundestag there was

a small but vocal demonstration against what the chancellor is trying to do and inside the chamber there was well hackles from the opposition when the chancellor was speaking it got to the point whereby president of the border started of going show a how to stop things and say everybody calm down and let anglo merkel proceed the opposition from the alternative for germany party though and making the argument that these powers already exist that they don't need to be given to the to the federal government and that the chancellor should let the states decide what's best for the states to fix the infection protection act is an alarming document all sorts here in thinking never before has a federal government dare to include so many attacks on the basic freedoms of citizens on the rule of law and a democratic principles in so few sentences as in this traffic law we've been here before though with anglo merkel's saying she wanted to implement national measures

national lockdowns and things like curfews when it comes to. the fight against covert 19 just before easter we heard the chancellor announce this was going to happen over the easter break only for her to have to make one of the biggest u. turns of her political career when just over 24 hours later she said actually that's not going to happen because technically i don't have the powers to be able to tell you to do that. in mali says day the fast of april as well as the surge of april should be defined as calm days with extensive contact restrictions and a ban on gatherings from the fast to the 5th of april. it isn't going on the idea was a mistake this mistake is my mistake alone a mistake must be called a mistake and above all it must be corrected at the same time of course i know that this whole matter trygaeus more uncertainty i regret that deeply and apologized to all citizens and this brings us today and the facts of the matter on the ground when it comes to covert 19 is that germany is being gripped particularly hard by

this wave there was just under 26000 new cases of covert 19 across the country in the last 24 hours we've also heard from intensive care units here in berlin that a quarter of their beds are currently filled with covert 90 patients the robert cock institute which handles germany's public health affairs is warning that unless something is done that april could well be a record breaking month for germany when it comes to covert 19 infections what angle are merkel is seeking the power to be able to do is that when cases reach a number of 100 new infections per 100000 of a population that an emergency brake can be pulled nationally that this would allow her to put in place a nighttime curfew from 9 pm until 5 am which is being discussed and widely debated also the closure of non essential retail as well the thing is is there's

a lot of pushback against this despite that pushback it does seem likely that these changes to the infection protection act will be made by some point next week we expect them to be signed into law by german president frank. through all of our reporting there now the russian foreign ministry says that the us bears full responsibility for the deterioration in relations that's after washington impose new sanctions against moscow russia says it has no choice but to retaliate but they're against you there but such aggressive behavior will undoubtedly meet family assistance every sponsor the sanctions will be inevitable washington has to understand that there will be a price for the degradation of bilateral relations and it is the u.s. that is entirely responsible for what is happening. for president joe biden signed an executive order on punitive measures targeting moscow right after calling for

a deescalation in tensions between the 2 states now is the time to deescalate worry for all of. us tempus an elf in the russian diplomatic mission more be expelled while $32.00 entities and individuals have been sanctioned for quote government directed attempts to influence the 2020 us presidential election the document also targets a range of financial institutions to as well as 6 technology companies for alleged cyber attacks dan of looks now at what the impact could be. big politics is all about big p.r. political marketing of trump america transitioned from sourcing nicknames for his opponents into the biden age which spearheads now shameless self promotion america is back america is back diplomacy is

back biden diplomacy sounds like a classic personal brand to so what is it well for russia it apparently means a sanctions sledgehammer you know i've been through several steps including the expulsion of several russian officials as a consequence of their actions i've also signed an executive order authorizing new measures including sanctions to address specific harmful actions that russia has taken against u.s. interests well the man seems to be abundantly clear at least for ones right well he would have been had he not led into these sanctions announcement with this. united states is not looking to kick off a cycle of skule she in conflict with russia we want a stable predictable relationship these signals are not just mixed in terms of consistency they're on par with noises from space joe biden was joe biden said

he's interested in the normalization of russia u.s. relations but the actions of his administration show us the opposite the u.s. is not ready to deal with the reality of the multipolar world which shuts out the possibility of american has the money instead they can sanctions and interference in our internal affairs just this week biden and putin talked over the phone to during the conversation the u.s. president and a new batch of sanctions in putin's face only to express hope later for a stable and predictable way forward and the white house sees no problem here no discrepancy forget proof for good reason forget who's president even biden strategy is to bully a country out of geopolitical relevance and it seems that's the only predictable thing about america left after all trumps anti russia sanctions galore that appears to his whole term didn't save the ex-president from being shamed for being soft on

russia so maybe biden is resorting to nuclear options right away desperately trying to keep one foot in the door though the door leading to that positive trajectory. but we discussed the issue with the chairman of the russian public council for international cooperation and public policy he also served as the director general of the united nations office at geneva from 2002 to 2011 and he calls the american sanctions illegal. it's very healthy. or what the important is the same thing i don't sleep completely completely signals in your work in the world of course mostly what russia this is not because europe for all of us on the part of the sort we're brought sentients they're completely

illegal if they are brought adopted by the security council otherwise it's use or. well the dico or with the force it is really difficult to. tolerate such searches. i do think that you have to build bridges with the you know use these because we have a lot of interest in. the digits that will. and while i'm failing the latest raft of sanctions that the u.s. also cited sensational claims made last year a fresh air offering banty's to the taliban on american troops in afghanistan the white house it's though it has very little to back up these claims and yet still it demands answers from the kremlin we felt the reports were enough of a cause of concern they assessed with low to moderate confidence as you alluded to that russian intelligence officers start to encourage taliban attacks against u.s.

and coalition personnel in afghanistan so while there's a lot of moderate assessment of these reports we felt it was important for our intelligence community to look into it this information really puts the burden on russia and the russian government to explain their engagement here in june last year it was reported that russian intelligence offered taliban linked militants bang tease to kill american troops in afghanistan in 2019 the allegations they were never proven and the pentagon itself said that it could not cooperate those reports but that didn't stop the mainstream media from going to town with the story. vladimir putin is offering boaties for the scalps of american soldiers in afghanistan and the european intelligence official called this callous shocking and reprehensible overnight president trump dismissed the intelligence denied being briefed on it as new reports emerged saying those payments did in fact lead to the death of americans meanwhile the u.s. president has decided to end america's double decade military presence in

afghanistan by mid september we will have a closer look at the details on that in a few minutes time. social media giant twitter has banned the founder of the investigative journalist group project very task for alleged violations of its policies it does come over half the group published another undercover sting video involving cnn's technical director. a strain of using these eternally the engine heat located. people are getting exactly as you say just a picture that you made sure to protect patients. and someone. who was trying to like help like me to be alive like rene like i mean it's individuals it's not a you know. that's like that of the opposite of good plot video doesn't pay to show the c.n.n. executive admitting that b.l.m.

coverage biased does exist and is the 3rd undercover scoop published by portrait parents asked this week what if you want to find out sabbat the other 2 on high c.n.n. missed that it's a few ways to get ratings and it's not my staying to bring down don't trump head to our web site you don't call me and we discuss the revelations with part it hurts us newsroom thank you typically vastly says it is time that people started to ask questions. we can speak to the fact that this technical director charlie chester he was certainly part of the culture he was speaking as if they were an advocacy group and this is a network that uses the tagline the most trusted name in news does the most trusted name in news you know collude directly or indirectly with black lives matter that's a question for the american public to ask it seems that the rules that as a society that we all thought were in place are no longer in place there is no more roebuck this is you know this is concerning this is something that the american people should be looking into this is something they should be studying and this is

something that they should know about because anything this big that means people make value decisions that affect their lives every day based on the news and if you're telling them you're real and in you know we're off hours you're saying that you're completely fake your propaganda that needs to be investigated that needs to be looked at further still ahead he's our moscow cancer specialist becomes the 1st ever russian to be inducted into the pit. did use american surgical association but have the story plus of the state to stop its.

nose and the speculators and those are now the a grueling elites of the world are the speculators. they can create bubbles it could be used cars this week it could be. next week it could be islands somewhere in the pacific the week after that those are bubbles within a secular collapse and ultimately when the everything bubble collapses then we have the realisation that the economy died in 2008 we just haven't buried yet.

it was now you've probably heard of the pregame heat and in the u.k. it's become a reality because soldiers in the british army's royal engineers regiment have been told to mind their language in case to defend somebody simon right throws a few grenades at his own now home the front line of the culture war. so the main dangers of being in the military is you can be shot at blown up. or fall victim to non gender neutral language well $22.00 engineer regiment of the british army is doing something about it the language not the horrible bad stuff don't call each other lads soldiers are told to be more inclusive and avoid using words such as mankind and sportsmanship over fears that they could cause offense to regiment

sergeant major reportedly told his men. people that they need to try harder to hold regiments v. and s. v. and s. down to values and standards do not mix it up with b. and s. he also said that everyone has to remember d. and on that diversity and inclusion and gents men lads other phrases like that are not to be used and this is my favorite he said it should be made sure that people are getting paid the correct compliments we don't always says no you know what. you are. right. or what this story has caused some our rage among friends or gods like please move with of course daschle there's nothing new about these directions they came out in 2017 released by the british army's joint equality diversity and inclusion unit or jeddah as it's known. who are inclusive most important so some poles from the

guidance from the u.k. military's jet i war is include suggesting sportsmanship be replaced with fairness or good humor and the word mankind be replaced with humanity whew mankind human race people as had residual some of those of man in as well were british war heroes to tim collins back in 2017 describe to listeners the ludicrous and dangerous morass into which obsequious and p.c. addled senior officers have led the british army which means he doesn't like it. so we can conclude from this is a. 4 years on after about the voice was originally given soldiers are still not quite ready to have their language policed probably because of uni army got a few other things to worry about let's not forget but the army has been at the forefront of the quality they've been teaching mentor on their own trousers for centuries washed on one side return over. to the book about dropping bombs on middle eastern villages is the absolute definition of inclusive ety they'll kill everyone without prejudice. probably

a long time for we see scenes like this on the front line. sword. oh my god did i say glad it's. now a cancer specialist from moscow has become the 1st ever russian to be officially inducted into the prestigious american surgical association he broke out of is currently moscow's leading on college just he's a pioneer of keyhole surgery the cancer treatment in the country and during his 30 year career the renowned doctor has published 7 major studies and almost 300 papers he told us what this latest recognition make. we don't because undoubtedly it is a happy and significant moment in a professional life of any person when colleagues highly appreciate your professional skills and it is very pleasant and honorable for me on the other hand

it is a great responsibility as you have to keep proving your worth but of course it is also an opportunity to establish closer and more interesting contacts with professionals from all over the world an opportunity to hear and be heard as well as to help young colleagues surgeons to develop the number of people diagnosed with cancer for the 1st time is increasing every year it happens all over the world and is a reflection of many factors but the main one is the increase in life expectancy at the same time treatment strategies have been developing very quickly to this applies to both surgical treatment and drug therapy it became possible to stabilize processes even in the most severe stages and surgeons today to perform complex operations that were previously considered impossible even non-specialists today have already heard about targeting therapy immunotherapy there have been real breakthroughs in the field of drug treatment opportunities have opened up for

stabilizing tumors and reducing their size this makes it possible to ensure a good quality of life for patients and sometimes to cure even the most advanced stages of course we cannot say that we can heal everyone and it is unlikely that this will ever happen but the phrase cancer is not a death sentence is the real truth author and historian martin according to simply news is particularly significant given the current political climate. the top russian specialists are among the best in the world and if i could resist same in the soviet union talk soviet doctors and specialists were among the best in the world russian specialists have always had this high reputation and know this is normally important is prestigious because he's the 1st russian with me to do this very important surgical association but also at a time of enormous tension between russia and the united states should prove that if you put politics aside when you go to medicine or science or literature or

anything else there is really quite a lot of common ground between russia and the united states they can come together and you don't have the conflict you have in politics indefensible hers. president joe biden has announced that all with u.s. and nato troops will have quit afghanistan by september the 11th saying it is time to end the forever war however that has angered the taliban which does say it had to create an earlier exit date with donald trump at his murder against the f. has been looking at what the future holds for the country after 2 decades of war. joe biden says this is it the end of the afghan war new more extensions apart from well these last one until september we cannot continue the cycle of extending or expanding our military presence in afghanistan hoping to create ideal conditions

for the drawn and expecting a different result according to the deal struck between trump and the taliban america was supposed to be gone in a couple of weeks time by may 1st but the president the new president claimed that didn't give him enough time the new date is symbolically september 11th and the thousands of u.s. and nato troops on that date will have left in light of this and recognizing that there is no military solution to the challenges of ganesan faces elyse have determined that we will start their withdrawal of the residents are told mission full says by may fast new d.n.a. 2 wants to be in afghanistan nobody but they went to do a job to make sure that al qaida and its ilk never make it home again and the only thing worse than staying in afghanistan is leaving before that job is done which has the potential to cost 20 years of war and bloodshed and effort to the when

our common goal is clear afghanistan should never again service a haven for terrorists to attack our old man's. so our presence is conditions based while no our ally wants to stay in afghanistan longer than necessary we will not leave before the time is right it's the us government itself is divided and i'm on a to germany for example which previously opposed the withdrawal the czech republic came out and said that this is the wrong decision but the bell pull out in solidarity leaving behind a vast dangerous and uncertain ballot vacuum the war isn't over almost 2000 people have been killed in afghanistan in the 1st 3 months of this year but now that's a problem for others it will ask other countries of the countries in the region to

do more to support and against it especially pakistan as well as russia china india in turkey. you know you have a significant stake in the stable future for afghanistan under stab at the taliban and now is believed to be more powerful than at any point in 20 years they control a contest more than half the country and that's with thousands of nato troops keeping them at bay with those foreign troops gone what's to stop them taking law but siege in kabul and doing decades of humanitarian and human rights progress would they still feel obligated to root out hard line terrorists. which the us never came here for the benefit of afghanistan no one was happy with the us coming here and i don't think many people will be sad to see them leave the us came to afghanistan for its own interests and that includes nato and all other foreign troops which are under the orders of washington when the us came in 2001 they vowed

to deliver peace in afghanistan but they failed we can never trust american promises i guess if the us soldiers leave afghanistan i think the situation will become worse because our country's security forces are not equipped well enough to fight against the taliban who have had the weaponry the us promised many times in recent years about withdrawing its troops but nothing happened we help for peace let's see what will happen. as you know the us came to ensure security in afghanistan and as you know the situation has become worse day by day conflicts increased and now the americans are leaving i don't think the americans want afghanistan to prosper they're just seeking a way to flee from the mess they made and they are thinking about the afghan people around us and i think it could be good if we get peace the afghan people want peace it's a good idea that america leaves of ghana stand we the afghan people are tired of war the taliban are also angry they feel cheated again by this withdrawal deal

a already field commanders are promising nightmare for foreign troops until they pull out. and on that note the american and european taxpayers who lost trillions of dollars in this war a left to hope for the best that's it no guarantees no clear progress the result of the afghan war is that everyone's been left to hoop for the best. but again step with that report just coming up to half possible in the afternoon in moscow good to have you company back again as usual and how. the industry prefers to spend millions of euros in you know being. a regulations i will be sniffy is all about making money making profits in some of the corporations international markets import export do you imagine the number of

printing diseases that are in every community today it is not due to new viruses all new microbes that's not true so it is due to environment. not going to say you know the moment of disability of this sort of muscles are really just accumulate could only come into the scene move to. the legacy of the sky if the so food industry is successful it will create more jobs it will create more value added it will create more growth so i don't see why we shouldn't also fight for the interest something into street not accept that we have regulation we want regulation i was even just a leaf reading be very serious criminal to just find. a

visionary. social media once created to bring millions of people together how to control what we think and how will leave without us. i'm joined today by tim kandel former facebook director of monetization ex-president and the c.e.o. of moment at. tim kandel former facebook director of former president contrasts and. at great to have you with us i mean i have so many questions for you where do we start. right so obviously during this pandemic radar screen time on social media is way.
