international focus of the timea putin knows the west i'm powerless to stop trying to provoke russia and warn of an asymmetrical response. some countries have adopted the highly indecent habit of blaming russia with any excuse and usually without any reason it's turned into a kind of sporting competition a new sport who speaks louder than we react to that with the highest restraint and you could say without any irony with modesty often we don't even respond to unfriendly actions or even to open rudeness we want to keep good relations with all participants in the international community which we see what's happening in real life as i already said they're picking on russia all over the place without reason and of course immediately around them all sorts of little jackals run around like with shear just like in the kipling story howling to gain favor with their ruler kipling is a great writer but we really don't want to burn bridges but if someone mistakes are

good intentions for indifference or weakness and is determined to completely burn or even blow up these bridges that person must know the brushes and so will be as symmetrical fast and hard most of his speech was a devoted to international affairs it was about domestic affairs it was about the pandemic it it's ravages and how it has made life that much harder for so many people he also came out and said that russia simply wasn't ready by the pandemic they gathered its institutions and the the medical field wasn't ready for a crisis of such proportions but it was thanks to frontline medics and doctors who he thanked as well as. to the applause of all the attendant he said it was thanks to them that russia emerged out of this crisis stronger than many other countries with many fewer deaths many fewer infections and with 3 vaccines something really

isn't the issue it's just the vaccination is of immense importance right now i'm asking the government and regional heads to terkel this everywhere people should have the chance to get vaccinated which will allow us to have. herd immunity by the autumn and once again call on all us citizens get vaccinated we've made a breakthrough things to all scientists and now we have 3 reliable vaccines. the president also spoke at length about health care about the need to overhaul russia's health care system with a revolution happening in medicine with all sorts of new systems diagnostic equipment and procedures scientific breakthroughs making the current healthcare system almost obsolete despite all of its excesses during during the pandemic he also spoke about the environment saying that it is paramount that companies which exploited the environment for profit such as all companies and coal extraction mineral extraction that they then clean up after themselves he said that within the

next 30 years the emissions of the russian federation will be less than those of the us the european union was a spoke about supporting single parents about encouraging birth rates in russia it's no secret that it has undergone a major demographic process and that many government plans and initiatives to help both parents both schools of the social sphere as well as as well as businesses recover from the ravages the good of the pandemic a correspondent reporting that he wasn't alone on a boycott the host of r.t. is worlds apart was also closely following a lot of effort and speech she thinks there are different ways to interpret what the russian president had to say. actually very interesting on how our interpretation of the speech depends on who is listening because my take on it this totally different from a bout of rather i didn't think that the russian president was stern in fact i

thought that that was. an address about reflection and value trying to motivate and inspire people about learning lessons from the pandemic and finally about outreach and making sure that people understand your intentions well because you and i it's true that for the most fire that he focused on the pandemic but what i took from it was not just the ravages or the pain of the pandemic he actually sad because of it 900 provided a very useful. strategy to us to the russian government which in the past has also you often been criticized for being. slow to figure out. beleaguered by red tape and he sat there during a very. real learning how to provide services fast and efficiently and this is something that we are going to take into the future making sure that was next time people have to interact with the government services they don't have to wait in

line to all are going to wade pools thought are going to the international side of the speech i thought that that was indeed putin's response to joe biden and if you listen calculated that speech it really shows how do you how russia different from the united states because he talked about there much of value is bad that russia has been able to establish and maintain good relations with most nations around the world based on the principles of mutual respect track or differences. that we approach to things not abstractly but in a very practical manner we look at what we can do and how we can. be and how our citizens. it's an obvious rather than going to fix meeting about what's good what's bad in the world we didn't mean it harry clear and that he sees russia as an absolute leader in terms of strategic armaments around the world he

actually sad that russia has the qualitative advantage over the united states and russia has a new generation of weapons which the united states cannot counter at this point and as a leader of these kind of armaments in the world he proposed to hold a summit that's not just a russian americans but all p 5 permanent members of the security council one of the things that putin always like to talk about is tipping is how to our professional partners around the world showing and exercising a mutual respect with professional partners around the world as well or so on to do you think that putin's federal assembly address today was any different than any other outstanding ways to previous years we had a very challenging and very unusual year and in this sense it couldn't have been the same i think many russians believe that the way any given nation. managed to. do with this major challenge actually demonstrates the strength

of its their respective government governing system as well as its efficiency but it wasn't particularly touching actually when the sector of society actually. you know could still get people through this. morning for what how to get people working in the cultural sector thanking everybody for what they have done for the country almost reminded me of john f. kennedy address not ask what the government can do for you but what you can do for the for your country he said that we absolutely sure of our professionalism we base our policies on common sense and that applies to domestic affairs as well as international affairs. sex assaults destruction of life on the appalling scale including of children this is the how rowing testimony exposed in a new report finding frons enabled the genocide of hundreds of thousands of

rwandans in 1904 the document commissioned by the african states government says paris quote did nothing to stop the slaughter of ethnic tutsi the latest witness accounts paint a terrifying portrait. even today that sadness does not end the thought that someone came raped you destroyed you and killed your child it is an extreme strain on my heart that will never end i only have survived. one woman died after hutus hacked off her arms and forced them into her mouth her 2

small children aged $1.54 then slaughtered. they came in a great crowd shouting like crazy people the whole place was littered with bodies. the report alleges that france kept giving military support to its rwanda allies even after the atrocities were well known more than a 1000000 people lost their lives the scale and brutality of the killings reverberated all around the world but france still insists it doesn't bear responsibility for failing to intervene as artie's. investigates. morning close to 600 pages and based on interviews with hundreds of witnesses this damning report due to the recent findings by a french commission that said paris was a quote lying to the hutu resume genocidal agenda. to not have acted to prevent the genocide that was

a fact but another fact is that the government of france at that time accompanied the rwandan government that was committing massacres preparing a genocide the french government at the time was close to that rwandan government and supported them in various ways draining the diplomatic and political support that's what we call the responsibility of france in 1904 france led operation turquoise a military humanitarian starting to back. it went under. but this is moving it seems to being a front for collaboration with the extremist is that allegation of being too close to the to regime was also leveled in the report to the genocide commission by from really just this. is the french authorities who in this case bear a grave responsibility because every 3 years instead of supporting democracy in peace in rwanda they supported the rwandan government's policy of radical action of

division under the leadership of a dictator who is very close to the hutu extremists however senior officials from the french government. at the time of. still refuse to accept the blame i disagree because i did my utmost to ensure that france would not be blamed for being passive and indifferent my concern was not to commit our army in a civil war where it would necessarily have appeared as supporting the hutu government that was being criticized for the genocide france need not apologize although you know. the report says that they found any evidence that french officials all. directly participated in the killing seize this latest investigation horrifying lights rule in rwanda relations between the 2 countries have been straight. and. with these new reports that

this. can finally. see. germany now where police have resorted to brute force to disperse crowds of lockdown demonstrators in the capital more than 100 arrests have been made pepper spray deployed there are reports we understand of injuries on both sides. according to police as many as $8000.00 tourists turned out for a protest in the german capital they were demonstrating against a so-called infection protection act which has now been passed by the bundestag and

gives the central government the right to impose a nationwide lockdown rules over ruling the regional authorities now police moved in though to break up the rally as many of the attendants want wearing face masks or abiding by the hold up social distancing rules let's take this a little bit further we can speak with. a member of the parliament from the left party thanks for coming on today this whole new law allowing tough restrictions to be enforced across germany well it does appear to be rather popular why is the government resorting to this do you think. yes i think we have to see the ambulance and in the one we want to have it is that at least decides on. a law now before it was just a group of presidents of the federal states and the chances are now it's a parliament that is good about the measures that it says they are contradictionary and in itself you have on the one hand reasonable things that for example you have

to. measure since you have reasonable things like. that if there is a high incidence of security measures they have to win but on the other hand it's no scientific condiment or green you cough you from 10 o'clock in the you that is. abusing the basic right of freedom of movement too much and there is still a friend things which are not done for. comp and he's not earch. through the security measures of the civil society is. restricted in a way which mustn't be so all of course there is many people who are against this law but the demonstrators who demonstrate in an bohun mostly right wing and they

didn't take security measures in the demonstration so i see that there was a thought so i'm some sort of jump in there but isn't this one of the main issues of a democracy that you're allowed to step outside and and voice your discontent have a demonstration have a protest or is it just down to the line we've all heard before that laws adjust for the little people. no it is just that we have the freedom of. organization and freedom of assembly and that has to be taken full serious and i am i agree with you of course anyone has to have the right to protest. in the times of go to take some measures of security like wearing a mask we often do protest non-book as well we do protest for peace and we do protest for human rights in in different areas of the world in our area as well but you always keep to the clean to even. measure see grandma and take like one and

a half meter and then there is no risk of infecting each other but if you don't keep this measure it's a bit a bit of a problem but i don't like that as well but i don't like the brutality of generals traitors and parts and so i think if you do demonstration it should be peaceful and it should be in respect of each other and times of day you can have security measures even when you know you talk you talk about having respect for each other mr adults but you don't think the police are perhaps being a little heavy handed as you said it's a constitutional democratic right to get outside and and voice your discontent the police are they being balanced in their response. i was not there so i can sit see anything new about the single situations i know that in

general. when there is an escalation many times the police is the route as well as the demonstrators as now so long but i think it's a problem of demonstrators at the door keeps the measures and i think. the problem incest police brutality so we have to have a balance between off the right sadly but those who are certainly shouldn't take. respect for matters to each other and keep a distance but i see as well that there is a lot of. let's see insecurity and secure and some of the measures which are taken still not all the people all around nice and. right we are organized like we who want to make. some kind of aggression as well as just long to general street so i think of course and some cases the police.

overreacted as well in other cases of the demonstrators violence what i don't like and appreciate it on this when you think i mean do you think do you think there's any. any of this resistance or there's a sense that people the fed up because there's been a bit of a dropout really with the vaccine rollout across europe there have been many cases of not enough vaccines to get to all the different people but also the other side of it is is that we're seeing small and medium businesses all go under people don't make money now they can't pay their debts they can't pay their bills there seems to be a very fine line between people trying to do what the lord is telling them but what ching and witnessing their businesses and their livelihoods are going down the drain. yes you're right the politics of the german government and the federal governments is that if you see these measures are not consistent if you would really like to stop the pandemic you sure don't follow all the

lines of infection and stop the lines of infection more than closing down soon society if you do measures you should go to measures in the same time on big companies and not only on small companies and against those who are in any way the working so of course the people are unsatisfied and people are slowly slowly we have fear for their existence and that of course cause us to discount that and it causes a smell that people are frustrated so the government has to see if you want to fight a pandemic you have to take measures which are consistent and you don't have to do some kind of model police station of good big capital to. overcome over vides an economical crisis with the measures of corona so that people feel this sort of that there is no consistency in the measures and some are

organized and that demonstration of this are organized right wings who want to see start leet society. so i think i don't like if the people take coronato grim for. their own ends instead of seeing ok we have to see that as a world economy crisis that is cruel now if the measures the government has to take then clearly on scientific fundament that it's a very difficult decision about your own government to be in as you say they've got to take the scientific and medical side of it into consideration but also they cannot ignore the complaints and the worries of their own populace martin bolts a member of the. parliament from the left body many thanks for your time today thank you thank you to. form a minneapolis police officer derek chopin has been found guilty of the murder of george floyd crowds celebrated the verdict outside the court on tuesday evening.

but while some celebrated others took to the streets to demand tougher action over police killings of african-americans some protesters in new york called for the abolition of the city's entire police department saying the whole system is fundamentally racist. and was convicted on 3 charges 2nd degree on the 3rd degree murder and 2nd degree manslaughter he faces up to 40 years in prison with the official sentence to be decided on in 8 weeks that america of course was swamped by protests off the george floyd's death in may last year.

well tempers were so fired up around the trial that at one point the presiding judge warned the entire process could be derailed that was off to congresswoman maxine waters encouraged crowds to get more confrontational if shogun was acquitted but the mainstream media was very happy to embrace those comments. not. that. i don't think what she said in in any way should we should criticize her for of course we should be more confrontational do you really think she's calling for violence and most people know that that's not true. and the people who are speaking out against her or using it politically i don't think that maxine meant anything by that except to say you have to stick with a you know you have to be there she is she's fine as far as i'm concerned well 1st off they've got the mainstream american media in their back pocket but this is by

any means necessary you know this is rules for radicals this is whatever it takes to get the job done what maxine waters did is tantamount to a mafia intimidation during the trial i mean it really is you know now these jurors if they catch wind of this in any way shape or form are going to think that hey you know we saw dozens of people die in last year is the blood of those people going to be in our hands if we don't return a guilty verdict against child and you know who wants to live with that on their conscience it's completely thrown the legal process in the due process and the constitutional right of this police officer into question. after the jury concluded that george floyd was murdered by the officer house speaker nancy pelosi applauded the decision she even thanked floyd for sacrificing his life it's a comment that certainly true some were action we saw it happen and thank god

the jury. dated what we. what we saw so again thank you. for sacrificing your life or do you. think you murdered person without your horrific killing we would have never known that it's not ok to kill people for no reason nancy pelosi in a nutshell the word 2nd 5 simplifies it was necessary this is how liberals will read produced a logic that labeled his life expendable in the 1st place no no no no what the 2nd fight in your life is something people have to do on their own floyd was murders we just had the whole trial. well there have been suddenly different reactions to the case from our guests some thinking police have changed their tactics this time others saying no which is because they're getting caught and i think is most unusual about this case is that virtual vamos pretty much thrown under the bus by the police department is on the police chief justified against

them normally emmy's trials in these cases were police officers are accused of misconduct that go on trial policemen fill the room to intimidate the witnesses to intimidate the system itself correct and we didn't see any of that in this case we didn't see the police department supporting chauvin we didn't see the the cops in the or room we also didn't see a lot of his family members that look or threw me there so that was kind of unusual probably because very much because of the publicity both local national and international the case got there was some pressure on the state to prosecute show on and i think this the results of it i don't see this as a race issue. i know a lot of people do but foot on the ground finger on the poles of the community trying cases day in and day out there is no longer me and very frustrating lee not so obvious presence of police officers who abuse their authority against black

white indian asian american or whatever it may be that they're dealing with and you know it shouldn't be that way we should trust law enforcement officers many people including myself some for good law enforcement officers but it's the bad apples that contaminate the entire bowl of minestrone soup as justice oliver wendell holmes would say and let's hope there's an extraordinary amount of change that's going to be weaved in the community and to the nation for real use of force implementation not just showing up to a class and signing off to say hey i let it do this for half an hour we need real change. around the time of the show and trial verdict an african-american teen was fatally shot by police in columbus ohio i should warn you you might find the following video disturbing in a body count footage an officer can be seen approaching a group of people one of whom appears to attack another with a knife the officer fired his gun at the alleged assailant a black 16 year old girl who dies of her injuries protesters took to the streets

following this police say use of force was justified but they will investigate the case. well after allegations of sexual misconduct on mismanaging the pandemic the governor of new york has another scandal on his hands andrew cuomo who is now being investigated for using state funds to write his new book it's called american crisis leadership lessons from the pandemic and much of the work in compiling the memoir was done by his stuff as well receiving state salaries of team denies any wrongdoing the idea that there was criminality involved . certainly it's facing this just the furthering of a political pile on any state official who volunteered to system this project did so on his own time and without the use of state resources earlier this year i was accused of downplaying the true death toll in new york state homes he's not accepted the blame but he has been.
