you need to descend. to join us on the death. or inmate in the shallowest. be a. afghan translators who worked shoulder to shoulder with western forces in afghanistan are fearful for their lives the planned exit from u.s. of u.s. and nato troops from the water in country leaves them vulnerable to taliban retribution we hear from a former interpreter for the british army. they are not aware of their future they are living in trauma and fear every day not knowing what could happen tomorrow or next the to them so the situation is very risky for and with us in afghanistan.

it's part of washington we're imposing tit for tat sanctions on a number of us individuals including key players. so that holidays with a difference travel agencies began to offer vaccine vacation so going to give the pandemic back to the tourism industry a booster shot one of the top destinations is russia. today we have around 80 people in moscow who if they want to be vaccinated one fly back on sunday i would probably give my turn at the end of the year and i don't want to wait that long. very good morning to you thanks for joining us here on r.t. . afghan interpreters who put their lives on the line and helped western forces in afghanistan feared they might be abandoned and left to the mercy of taliban terrorists this is u.s. and nato troops from perth to exit the country by mid september

a former afghan translator who works for the british army told us why their concerns are real if there isn't an offer shall recognition by the government so far. and the process soft treatment often terp there's or not very much at the top priority of the ministry of defense i think minister of defense under u.k. government as a whole are forgetting. that interpreters or key assets off the the. long combat military mission in afghanistan and leaving them behind and forgetting them is this putting them at risk over the years the u.k.'s like hundreds of interpreters who work for the british army settle for the critics say that many ought to be eligible for the scheme being denied that chance you are u.s. president joe biden announced the withdrawal of u.s. and nato troops just a couple of days ago the reason the translators to help them are so scared is that the taliban which is resurgent in the country has branded them national traitors

and considers them legitimate targets as here i mean again says that interpreters have been left traumatized. i am regularly in touch with afghan interpreters who are searched for the british army and there are still a psych in afghanistan and they are not aware of their future they are living in trauma and fare every day not knowing what could happen tomorrow or next they didn't so the situation is very risky for and with us in afghanistan unless the british government acts quickly and introduces an inclusive scheme that allows all interpreters to relocate to the u.k. the situation will not be resolved our part of the international. mission subjective in afghanistan was to secure europe and american borders from the threat of terrorism so afghans who joined the international forces and worked as interpreters alongside these forces they are actually the core of the ends of the

safety and security of europe and america leaving them behind is not a way of morality. and human. russia's foreign ministry is published a sanctions list that targets senior joe biden ministration officials it's a direct response to the new u.s. restrictions imposed earlier on moscow over alleged harmful activities russia's measures also include the expulsion of 10 u.s. diplomats and possible reduction of washington's diplomatic mission in the capital the state department's called the response escalatory and regrettable earlier saskia taylor joined my colleague in an eel to assess russia's response but 1st is what the foreign minister had to say. the latest attack country by dubai didn't ministration cannot. it seems that washington does not want to accept the fact that in the new geo political realities there is no place for unilateral dictatorship

and the broken scenarios of containing moscow which the u.s. short sightedly continues to deploy on new risk for the degrading russia u.s. relations we knew that this was coming in one form or another it was just a matter of time and on friday russia very demonstrative retaliated against those punitive measures that washington once against moscow earlier this week perhaps the most interesting part is that 8 top level washington officials have been banned from entering russian territory and when i say top level i mean highlight reel you know we're talking the head of the f.b.i. the director of national intelligence the secretary of homeland security to i people who are powerful decision makers in washington also a lot less to susan rice and john bolton historically to politicians who are you know and who are. russian rhetoric alongside the names moscow explained that these individuals have been chosen precisely because they all bear responsibility for

promoting america's anti russian policy direction i have to say this is a really strong move because usually such bans are done on the low down in the quiet that are not announced publicly so clearly the kremlin here is so frustrated by what's going on that it wants to make a really bold korea statement of not 10 american diplomats have been expelled a number of american organizations suspected of interfering in russia's internal affairs have been told that they need to stop their activity and it was also made clear that if the u.s. continues to behave this way the more can and will be done including reducing the diplomatic mission here to just $300.00 and taking action that would be harmful to u.s. business interests so very loud to various. pensive announcement leaving the door open for an improvement of relations but at the same time being practical and preparing for the worst and as you see it it comes not long after what. they were going to do as regards sanctions what was said on thursday well you have to look at

the fact up to this hostile undiplomatic rhetoric coming from the white house of course now the infamous interview joe biden calling president putin the killer on international television and then this final blow out by joe biden signing what can only be called a sanction spree so that package includes a $32.00 russian and an individual sanction for allegedly interference in last year's presidential election stateside a range of financial and technology firms targeted for power and cyber attacks on federal agencies 10 russian diplomats expelled borrowing money international made more difficult for russia to and why anyone reasonable would look at this and say well this is pretty extensive apparently joe biden claims that this was his take it easy on russia set of sanctions and that ultimately all he really wants is to be friendly and the pressure dial down united states is not looking to. school is she

in conflict with russia we want a stable predictable relationship now is the time to deescalate well saying that after announcing a slew of sanctions is mixed messages it's illogical it's very confusing i mean generally punishment and deescalation don't go hand in hand so you can see why the russian side pointed out that that moment there's a huge disconnect between what russia says rather what washington says and what washington does. to refrain from escalation sound hypocritical in essence to trying to talk to us from a position of strength we have repeatedly warned and proved in practice that sanctions and other pressures are not only futile but will also result of disastrous consequences for the. to decide in such provocations so clearly normalized relations between the u.s. and russia are going to require a serious shift and care but at the moment it does definitely sound that while small scope of course doesn't want it to terrorists and relations and it's tried

everything it can to avoid that at the moment it feels that that might be the only option left. journalist and author daniel is our belief that by the ministrations behaving without restraint in this moves against russia america's behavior is out of control i mean the by the by mr ration is well spent the last 4 years accusing trump of being soft on russia and now is what has got into office it is trying to show that it is going to be as confrontational and our school as a possibly there is no charge why did this russian woodward level against the moscow biden has been absolutely unrestrained he's determined to show that he's a tough guy tougher than than donald trump and so therefore he's being very aggressive with regard to both russia and and china and and there are no restraints that's that that's the amazing thing and the u.s.

is just it's rampaging or around with these charges. global tourism crippled by the pandemic is scrambling for ways to get travel started again and some agencies are hoping to turn a crisis into an opportunity by offering vaccine vacations with russia among the most popular destinations. it's doing today we have around 80 people in moscow who if they want to can be vaccinated tomorrow and fly back on sunday we expect now every week the same quantity so long as the vaccines in germany escape this. now that i have noticed is because it's a recommended vaccination from the w h o u does a good international reputation so if i'm not well i have no concerns. operatives

bookmaker paul i'm going to i want to receive the vaccine myself quicker than we would get it enjoy the 19 year old i would receive it to postulate home and my father is an interesting patient just do need to feel he might actually lead to war because i want to protect my family and i don't want to promote this morris home body i think i would probably get my turn at the end of the year and i don't want to wait that long i had other options i was right with iraq and the united states but all fell away for various reasons this was the best offer of. the bottled drinking water brand has made a splash for all the wrong reasons sping accused of islamophobia over

a tweet that encouraged people to drink more water on the shelf explains do you mean to me this is perhaps nothing more than a little. something to cling to destroy it but the ground and the endless found itself in so very hopeful to hear your friends being accused of they were thinking full is a lot of phobia to being a victim of intellectual terrorism and it is still to do with treats it seems and this isn't a no throwing retreat if you handily to abort i don't necessarily even say water i mean you're supposed to drink to me to sit day but new this reminder of a staple for human life was put on 1st day of ramadan a festival with muslims full go thinking during daylight hours the reaction king and false. i have to explain to my mother how it is normal for everyone to tweet about water even during ramadan because she thinks they are islamophobia yo it's

ramadan you're abusing it here and issued an apology coming to coors in the offense inside the post mosque controversy but that any saw it in sinking even deeper into controversy. i would never buy every and again inadmissible to apologize it's basically a cool health message and yet you have to apologize if in 2021 asking for drinks water since provoke it if you should have a consultation. every umbrella under tax for advertising water on ramadan day for some islamists muslim festival should be imposed on everyone well no let's stop this madness soon was a means tree to exult it is a long way off through here in paris people read the battlefield boy that allegation. for me no i saw the controversy i saw the to eat frankly i think it could be quincy adams in my opinion there was no bad intention and they deleted the

tweet to avoid necessary control the city but not at all because they felt guilty. for me it's not a slam a for the i don't understand it like that for me would denigrate a strong one who say look at her she still veiled for me that's islam a full get. him or madonna when i'm doing my ramadan i know where start in the morning and it goes on until the evening i don't eat i don't drink it has nothing to do with business or anyone else if someone tweets like this i don't care how many muslims also took to twitter to say that they didn't think that tweet by everyone was is a little bit leading so to question it with any muslim had indeed been left insulted by evian or if somehow this whole story was the result of a when. they were playing it rather see so much even ski paris. french prosecutors of urban decay sattar the photos of more than

20 police officers were plastered on walls in the paris suburbs misled to fears the policeman's families may be identified even threatened greg peel from a french police union says the stunt was meant as a threat. initial report these are blatant threats intended to intimidate police officers we're all troubled and concerned for the officers identified their families are worried and we're concerned for their families you may think it's the 1st time but it's not the 1st time this has happened to me we've also seen officers being named in other areas it's scary enough that we no longer have boundaries and there are people who name officers families without hesitation and it seems to me that matthew like behavior and intimidation is encroaching into our private lives because we're the police. well into the gums french lawmakers passed a controversial global security bill that penalizes the spread of images of police

officers in operation those found guilty could face a sentence of up to 5 years in prison or a 75000 euro fine the bill has been slammed by civil rights groups and n.g.o.s and the french public's been angrily protesting against it for months i. i. i. i i. i. i. however france's police organizations insists the law is needed to protect police officers and their families. as we try to protect ourselves but it's true there are limits the police have to protect the general population but who defends the police

article 24 some things are progressing well but it's not enough we are now waiting for the restrictions to be introduced to soon as possible the alliance police union are demanding that the faces of police officers are blurred it's not to hide what happens during the arrest because the i.g.p. n police watchdog receives the body count footage everyone is worried about the police making a mistake we want the police to have their faces blurred to protect officers and their families because as we've seen some people don't hesitate to identify officers wives children their addresses and this is a big problem that we want to avoid. your bonds infrastructure baggage is gone is relatively little public support part of the problem thing apparently but everyone's short the plan is actually about to take a closer look after the break. the

speculators and those are now the ruling elites of the world are the speculators. they can create bubbles it could be used cars this week it could be. next week they could be island somewhere in the pacific the week after that those are bubbles of the secular collapse and. when the everything collapses then we have the realisation that the economy die in 2008 we just haven't buried yet. 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 developments only. exist i don't see how. very critical time to sit down and

talk. welcome back joe biden has unveiled a new infrastructure package has left many people confused in part because it's a mixed bag containing measures that appeared to have little to do with infrastructure for example on jobs and environmental issues to unpick it all is caleb open. joe biden's infrastructure plan is getting a fair amount of criticism polls show the country is pretty divided when it comes to the plan itself but overwhelmingly americans do agree that infrastructure should be a priority joe biden is selling the plan as a jobs creator then american jobs plan is an investment in america that will create

millions of good jobs rebuilt our country's infrastructure and position the united states to compute china public domestic investment as a share of the economy has fallen by more than 40 percent since the 1960 s. then merican jumps but he will invest in america in a way we have not invested since we built the interstate highways and won the space race. a plan to get america moving again and get those cast aside by the pandemic back into the workplace has certainly got america talking with the word infrastructure very much on everyone's lips a sweeping new infrastructure plan to rebuild roads and bridges across this country biden vowed infrastructure investments could create 5000000 new jobs and bring back the pandemic jobs lost president biden in pits her yesterday promising to create jobs in 5 climate change with a sweeping 2 trillion dollars infrastructure plan infrastructure means roads bridges highways it cetera however there seem to be some other items thrown in

there too such as health care and benefits for business now democrats are not exactly clarifying the confusion paid leave is infrastructure childcare is infrastructure ok given is infrastructure supreme court expansion is infrastructure are you feeling confused well you're not alone many are starting to wonder if this is just a democratic party spending bill with all kinds of items thrown in as they are now considered to be infrastructure democrats infrastructure proposal goes way beyond what's working americans would call infrastructure it tries to use a bipartisan issue as the children horse for tax hikes miscellaneous liberal policies we need to tackle infrastructure in a more targeted way so what exactly is infrastructure 2 trillion dollars after all is quite a bit of money $1.00 thing is pretty clear while americans don't care much for red tape and bureaucracy they do want better roads and bridges caleb mop and artsy new york. google misled users in australia about collecting

a person location data the ruling of the country's federal courts and could learn the tech giant with a huge fine australia's fair trade for stock which had followed the lawsuit to close the ruling a world 1st and said that it sends a very clear message to all digital platforms. what the court found was that google misled consumers into thinking that if they turned off location history then that would stop google storing and keeping or collecting and keeping the personally identifiable location data when in fact that was not the case. the judge in the case ruled that some new users were misled during the initial set up process of android devices users weren't informed even if they had the location history button disabled and debating another tab called web an app activity would mean google could still collect their location data it's not the 1st time it's trailing

competition regulator in the tech behavior of plast last year google along with facebook were obliged to pay news organizations if their content was posted on the platforms well google said it rejects this latest ruling on location data stating the claims by the watchdog were too broad and the judge's findings only concerned a narrow class of uses the company said it's considering an appeal internet lore expert and social media solicitor cohen assess the impact of the country's ruling. google doesn't care the company's far too big for too monopolistic google doesn't care about reputation because there is no real competition out there google also doesn't care about a small a relatively small financial penalty because it's got plenty of money so the only way we can have google starting to care about those sort of things is by either forcing the company to break up and start creating some real competition or and imposing huge penalties the reality is that

now they got caught again the australian court found them guilty of effectively cheating on their own customers. the question is what's going to happen next the question is where google is likely to be detailed by these finding. of a new war in east ukraine a high pressure in ukraine redeploy ever more military units and comes amid reports of increased shelling in the region and local civilians have been living in fear for much longer as artist and culture of experience as one of the key cities in the conflict between ukraine and the self-proclaimed donetsk republic seen a lot of bloodshed over the past 7 years shelling and fierce fighting between the korean army and the people's militia have scar the people here both physically and

a kilometer away from this school this particular classroom was hit by 120 millimeter rocket as you can see is. been destroyed from what i can gather here this was a music room you can see the piano here it's destroyed as well naturally the school right now is out of commission it's not open for students and kids have been distributed to other schools in the area but still shelling continues daily and the kids are in danger each day they travel to and from their schools vera joined the militia at the very beginning of the conflict shortly after she was wounded and lost her leg unable to continue fighting ship found her calling elsewhere vera is now one of the most well known volunteers in coral of. the little funding that flows her way comes from private donors today she spends about $300.00 u.s. dollars sent from germany to give these women and their kids basic necessities like

was so close to me that i laid on the ground coast my ears and cowered my head with my hands. the frequency sound of explosions and the constant threat of shelling means that war look because children can't let their guard down and do what kids their age should be doing but despite all this logic and their friends haven't given up hope that a better more peaceful future is just around the corner room on culture of art see . in the den that screeching. brings you right up to date from now if you are hungry for more news you can get it on our website check out more stories we have covered at all to dot com. the world is driven by shaped by.
