please post to us all the. headlines this tuesday in r.t. after a year of isolation the us seeking to open its doors to tourists but only for those who receive jobs approved by brussels also to come in the u.s. government marks world press freedom day by attacking other countries records on journalism rights and freedoms and finds the imprisonment a way to straighten citizens returning home from it india we hear from some who feel though they've been abandoned by their government. over 2 or 3 disappointed. with someone who's losing their family members losing jobs like think this is an extra stress putting on people.
8:01 am
like good afternoon watching r.t. international she's gone 3 o'clock in the sky now the e.u. is looking to open its borders after more than a year of pandemic isolation it does come as the european commission on monday proposed easing travel restrictions on foreign citizens but only for those who've been fully vaccinated against 19 with authorised jabs with more details his piece or all of. all things ever is easy as it may seem when it comes to getting a unified e.u. proposal passed all 27 member states on monday the european commission put forward their proposals for what essentially amounts to a e.u. vaccine passport they'll be discussing that further on choose day but it's an attempt to open up the 27 member states to non-essential travel and to tourism tourism of course the absolute lifeblood of many of these southern european
8:02 am
countries economies that the e.u. commission are suggesting is that it's anybody who's been fully vaccinated with a job that's approved by both the european medicines agency and the world health organization they should be allowed to come into the e.u. until the digital green certificate is operational member states should be able to accept it if it is from noni you can cheat based on national or taken into account the ability to verify the authenticity validity and integrity of this it if it and whether it contains all relevant data well since it was announced it's raised an awful lot of questions with some critics pointing out there well some of the points are pretty vague particularly when it comes to the fact that we don't know how long somebody who's been vaccinated is amusing to the covert virus for we just simply haven't helped about the data on that right now there's also the risks of creating
8:03 am
a 2 tier society between those that have had the vaccine those that are waiting for the vaccine and those that for any number of medical reasons can't have those particular vaccines now there's also the world health organization chipping in on this saying they don't think these type of passports are a good idea because as far as the w.h.o. are concerned it gives a false sense of security at the present time as the world health organizations position but national forest should not introduce requirements of proof of covert 19 vaccination for international travel as a condition for departure or entry. considering that there is limited availability of vaccines preferential vaccination of travelers could result in another quote supplies of vaccines for priority populations considered a high risk of severe covert 19 disease well earlier this year the idea of vaccine passports didn't prove all that popular with people in france and denmark we saw protests against the plan and then. this also questions over what this will mean
8:04 am
for those who have been vaccinated with jobs that haven't already been approved by the european medicines agency the russian sputnik vaccine for example we are expecting sputnik to get e.m.e.a. approval sometime in may but what does that mean for those that have already received that also what does that mean for the millions and millions of doses of sputnik that have been purchased by e.u. member states ready for use now the european commission doesn't have the power to be able to tell a member state who can come in and who can't come in to their country what they're looking to try and do at the moment is get a unified grievance throughout the $27.00 and they certainly isn't one of those just get so until there is it does seem like each individual e.u. member state will continue to have their their own systems in place for example right now if you wanted to fly into greece it wouldn't have to be fully vaccinated
8:05 am
but as long as you could provide say a test result that showed that you hadn't tested positive for covert then you'd be allowed to arrive still a lot of legs to run on whether we'll get a unified covert passport across europe just yet though. it's all over there now monday's freedom of the press day has been marked by u.s. authorities he focused on the rights of journalists in other countries meanwhile over the past year though the united states is a more than 400 journalists assaulted there are also 139 arrests and over 100 cases of reporters equipment being damaged and a 2021 tracker shows to more and more incidents every single day r.t. as you put it down of takes a look now at press freedom in the united states. if there's one thing entrenched in the d.n.a. of us democracy that would be putting america on the pedestal of righteousness at every given opportunity like here we're seeing every day. the work that journalists
8:06 am
are doing around the world in increasingly difficult and challenging conditions nothing is more fundamental to the good functioning of our democracies they advocate they seek safety they celebrate the us knows how to throw one hell of a party for a truth teller look no further than julian asuncion he's published so many u.s. secrets america's justice department is captivated by the man they just won't take no for an answer if extradited a son it will be celebrating his accomplishments like the guantanamo bay files or the iraq war logs for up to 175 years likely in a maximum security prison the ruling in his case leaves open the possibility for the u.s. government to pursue journalists and publishers around the world if their report and noise the washington establishment that is santa remains in prison underlines
8:07 am
the grievous threats to unfettered journalese that these u.s. legislation poses and of course there's no big a custodian of journalists safety than the modern day america it is incumbent on all of us to counter these threats to a free and independent media including physical risk and arbitrary detention for one saudi journalist physical risk and arbitrary detention escalated into horrible suffering and death in a matter of minutes jamal khashoggi fell out of favor with the saudi royal family and in 2018 was killed inside their consulate in istanbul reports suggest he was tortured before meeting his death beheaded and dismembered. as his killer as go to way on private jets the u.s. could not stand idle in the face of such an atrocity that's one reason we announced in response to the brutal murder of jamal khashoggi the shoji bam to help deter
8:08 am
threatening behavior against the media i beg your pardon all this crucial g. band is it is a visa restriction policy that doesn't even target the saudi crown prince despite the cia itself saying he personally ordered the hit we held accountable all the people in that organization but not the crown prince because we have never that i'm aware of when we have an alliance with a country gone to the acting head of state and punished that person and ostracized him and a cherry on top of this towering pile of hypocrisy is this promise of joe biden to show he was in fact murdered and dismembered and i believe in the order of the crown prince and i would make it very clear we were not going to interact to sell more weapons to them we were going to in fact make them pay the price and make it and in fact the pariah that they are the ban is cosmetic. we know or the
8:09 am
murder and then the person who did order their murders not going to be elder cannibal it remains untouched because washington doesn't want to disrupt that relationship and because the saudi government by the billions of dollars worth of us are in the same way that we hear them talk about freedom of the prestes or rather hollow empty gestures that our attempt to. a sensually massage public opinion but aren't in any real way attempting to hold people accountable us politicians love to float amid the smoke of virtue and mirrors of morality but then things come into sharp focus and we see just how little. integrity the ridge left. now at least 20 people are dead after a metro overpass collapsed in mexico overnight a train split into sending carriages and passages plummeting on to the cars below
8:10 am
or that train was left hanging and a crane was then brought in to stabilize it amid fears it could fall further on to the road several children among the victims and another 70 people were injured rescue workers and firefighters have been searching through the carriages for survivors and at least one car is believed to be buried there under the rubble the mayor said to support being given way as the train passed those were. some 10000 people have been left in limbo after a stray effectively banned its citizens from returning home from india which is being battered by the pandemic anyone trying to get back faces fines in even a prison sentence but we spoke to some who say that they feel they've been abandoned. i do feel abandoned oh do for you were extremely disappointed with that rule that they have come up with because there have been similar type of spikes or more than that in some other countries but not going off restriction was not impose
8:11 am
i think this is an overreaction but in this situation this hour of distress we were expecting that we will have more sympathy coming our way i don't think it's difficult to manage warranty an anagram tree like australia which is a developed country with a sophisticated health care system so i think that there will be able to deal with it it's just fear factor that was very shocked economy to know that you will be jailed and there is a fine i think there is a fear in people people mind that they don't want to get jailed for 5 years or be a heavy fine because they're already stressed that someone is losing their family members are losing jobs so i think this is an extra stress reading on people as a bigger than off the same country i do feel i have within their right to be there and they do expect from a government to help those in you can train them because they are people in very
8:12 am
stressful situation belo with health problems by nature. problems or the controversial measure has been heavily criticised by the director of human rights watch a mistrial and as mentioned under the temporary ban strains he returned home to risk a hefty fine and even up to 5 years in jail area camber suspended flights to and from india and officials defended the entry banting citing a hazard to public health it's a high risk situation india there has been no doubt in any of the commonwealth advice about this measure or other measures american human rights attorney general covered it does point out the camera doesn't treat his citizens coming from other covert hotspots in the same way. i think what they're so doing is yeah raising the bar so high that people just won't even try to go to australia. but again why not do what a lot of countries are doing and quarantine people i mean there is
8:13 am
a basis for i'm not saying it's without basis and i do understand australia's health concerns but you know when you look at any type of restrictions or any type of government regulations you look at whether they are reasonable and rational enough and part of that is are they treating like situations like obviously india has a very big strain kovac problem but yeah. i think the us where i live of course still has the highest numbers in the world of people who've been infected and died from it so why aren't they charging people $66000.00 to travel from the us to. marry in brazil local governments that are commanding that the country's health authority thanks again now for the failed to approve for us to support an increase in japanese i claimed the decision wasn't based on objective grounds. don't be shy woman studies sputnik be and realised that it is one
8:14 am
of the most effective vaccines available with an efficiency of more than 90 percent and without any significant side effects this was one of the main reasons why our state and 17 others out of 27 brazilian states signed preliminary contracts for vaccine delivery and we all want to resolve the issue with the reluctance of visa so a lot of the back seem to be used in the count treat myself and other governors who requested permission to import the vaccine hoped for a positive decision by these organization brazil is now at a critical point of the pandemic we have reached 400000 deaths and we expected to resume to show objectivity. we have already bought 37000000 doses and we are waiting for the decision in order to distribute the vaccine is.
8:15 am
our main task at the moment is to ensure the implementation of the law which was recently adopted by the brazilian parliament this law specifically recognizes 16 national regulators of other countries including russia as valid on the territory of brazil so the correct action of un visa will be to validate the decision that has already taken place in russia the approval of the sputnik vaccine but the regulator hasn't done this but approach the issue as if it were to completely fall in the forestry and it is necessary to reproduce the entire process here unfortunately that's what's happened and the process has been prolonged or lost weight brazil's regulator said it wasn't confident in the jap safety and said among other things there were flaws in its production it also claimed that one of the components of sputnik they might pose a risk to paypal we immunity well the vaccines developers hit back at all of this and says that the decision to delay approval was political and had nothing to do with signs of gamma less center says it's a. cleaning and filtration system does make sure the job is highly purified and
8:16 am
that existing quality controls do guarantee no harmful components exist in sputnik 3 and also claims to its product is almost 98 percent effective brazilian governor again wellington diaz does say though it may be possible to use legal means to force through the approval of the jap. how long this bureaucratic process has dragged on is a matter of big concern actually at the level of the brazilian states there are at least 2 plans the 1st is to us the russian manufacturer the camel a institute the russian direct investment fund the russian ministry of health as well as of a country such as argentina mexico and others that already have experience using this vaccine to provide them visa the brazilian regulator of complete information so they can finally get permission and the 2nd way is the supreme court where there is also a possibility to legally applied and visa to accept the russian vaccine since we're
8:17 am
talking about the fact that this vaccine has been approved by regulators in many countries at least 3 of the vaccines were officially approved in brazil so if it does not work out of and these are the next pass through the supreme court is the one we will follow us still to come ph advises america back on track towards getting less attention in those by the former president after the break we'll have a look at how the media's long time favorite has slumped in the writings. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy one foundation of let it be an arms race is on all sides very dramatic development only i'm going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.
8:18 am
to what males have tended to do and still do is we tend to we certainly have empathy all of that but we also tend to do nurture through aggression so we create things like soccer and football in. you know all of the various hundreds of games that involve aggression now women are aggressive and play those games no doubt very well but when you go back to why they were created those jobs were created for males to nurture other males through aggression to teach them how to fix through aggression. flow again joe biden is traveling in the united states at the moment as part of his
8:19 am
getting america back on track till now your sister of enthusiasm to you for plans to boost employment and help families but he's not getting the same media coverage as his predecessor khaled market us why. joe biden is on a road trip to promote his new infrastructure plan he's got a slogan america is back on track and he says the usa needs to surge forward to victory we're way behind the rest of the role right now we need to remember we're in competition with the rest of the world now it's a rather ambitious schedule for the traveling woke white house extravaganza and it's coming to a city near you so many this looks like joe biden has started campaigning for 2024 now donald trump did that but not as early in his term however he caught a lot of flak for it at the time breaking news out of phoenix arizona where president trump held a raucous unscripted rally he's on hinged. it's embarrassing and i don't mean for
8:20 am
us the media because he went after us but for the country you could hear there is a chorus of boos and other cheers it was proud here in tampa florida they're saying things like see the sox go home big news now to be fair there's a lot to criticize about donald trump's rallies you can talk about coded restrictions or the anti immigrant anti islamic rhetoric or the presence of cuban on conspiracists but if it's not ok for donald trump to go on the campaign trail long before the campaigning actually starts shouldn't biden be held to the same standards however you'll notice that this critique is noticeably absent from the mainstream media at this point they're not even bothering to fact check biden's claims about what trump actually did sense trump left office c.n.n. viewership has tanks to roughly half of what it was when they were castigating the donald and is it any surprise fluffy coverage is not as much fun to watch furthermore biden is just not the entertainer that his predecessor was but regardless he is planning to pack him in at his rallies around the country as much
8:21 am
as code restrictions will allow sale of mopp and artsy new york. generous and. mainstream media hates to admit the fact that the former president boosted their ratings. isn't the same how the media is always treated the 2 different politicians of course anything trump does is evil wrong dangerous and when joe biden does it it's perfectly fine donald trump would even have the post-election rallies are still drawing tens of thousands of people joe biden can't get more than 4 journalists to show up sitting in their little circle taking notes that optics does have an interest in events and he's traveling around the country whereas for president trump it was great optics it looked like he had an amazing amount of support of grassroots support and the media really hated that they had to think of anything they could to try to demonize what the president was doing present that is to try to make it look like it was irresponsible or what have you one thing that
8:22 am
they really hate to admit is that donald trump was incredible ratings he was amazing for not only c.n.n. the liberal media that made her twitter all the liberal 'd. tech companies and you know now that he's gone they've got a big problem. the u.s. secretary of state townsend think in his will and washington should be prepared for any eventuality in afghanistan that u.s. troops the drone from the country last month president biden once the stasi may be finished by the symbolic the end of september the 11th. just because our troops are coming home doesn't mean we're leaving we're not our embassy staying the support that we're going to afghanistan that remains and not only from us meanwhile is the deadline for a u.s. troop pullout in afghanistan past on may the 1st the group has warned it may take action against american forces the taliban says its leadership will make a decision in light of the sovereignty values and higher interests of the country
8:23 am
and elsewhere in afghanistan the taliban reportedly attacked an army base in the country's west on sunday night with militants digging tunnels to gain access to it local sources claim that over 20 soldiers were killed michael maloof a former senior security policy analyst at the pentagon says there's more instability ahead but i don't know where blinken is getting his position of strength from in dealing with tell about the taleban war even talk to the government and how the u.s. once it's out is going to make the taliban talk to the government is beyond me already the taliban has announced that it's going to create its own emirates in afghanistan and as i pointed out that is going to put it in direct conflict with the other tribes such as particularly northern alliance so that what the u.s. possibly could do is is cozy up more with the northern alliance elements pretty much like what we did leading up to 2001 so it's there maybe history repeating
8:24 am
itself after spending 2 trillion dollars there's costing more than $2500.00 american lives not to mention that the afghans who have been killed. now a popular children's show in the u.k. is taking inspiration from america's black lives matter movement one of the creators of the b.b.c.'s horrible histories explains now why he wants to give kids a new perspective on history. with the events of last summer black lives matter the murder of george freud the calls and statue it felt like the whole world had a moment to re-evaluate what we thought about the past we thought it was a good moment to think about how horrible histories might tackle the whole area of black history for the next episode as feature a song highlighting that black people have been in britain from the start and cites recent findings to that claim the 1st modern britons had dark skin or were histories which doesn't joy a vast global following also plans to feature an animation about the transatlantic
8:25 am
slave trade however the new perspective has drawn a mixed response on life. rewriting british history in accordance with the walker gender the white freights on show here your fake history is being blown apart i don't let my kids watch the b.b.c. anymore anyway because of this world nonsense this is actually true that i don't understand how people can be upset that all our ancestors were african grow up we talk further about this with the social commentator making ambrose and also with a journalist and historian at all dali very old. is to let children live go to childhood notably in war so you start by teaching them critical thinking which actually no longer being put at risk or adding layers of history who ignored history and let them explore and learn how to explore new but to have an orwellian the writing of history is actually
8:26 am
scary and chilling the national curriculum which is being too in schools or that it's good enough in terms of black history. academies don't have to teach it some schools juicer modules it is very important to for young not just lectures but all children children are impressionable now get things from social media and through to e t v they'll be steamy careful that we actually not to reprogram their minds with the current accent or orthodoxy of that day as dictated by a loud minority not by the silent majority we live in a multicultural society. you know young people you know what all asian or whatever should all be. educated and be told the truth you know you know england within to colonise. that you know different search areas or saw
8:27 am
a little british empire so it's all you know so in the word thieves and invaders as well and it is that talk to me in schools are going to be quite clear you can just sort it can choose you know young people need to know the truth i don't mind adding . information and mayors and they as of information has as crimes out as documents come along because i think a longer view i do not take an emotional leisure to react. to some. call for killing like the. the black activist or like the person behind the police and so on you're right it is a kneejerk summit come from 0 and that we go this happened because because of the terrible tragedy and murder of to slow it you know it should be that way because it is the usual thing is that you know something happens and then we'll do our job we should have been going to that what would happen if the other another accident
8:28 am
happened and it can immediate that we no longer have control of reshapes public opinion is absolutely chilling that's why we have to take a longer view of history and it shouldn't be should teach them screens them how to accept everybody as one culture and evaluate events of the see them young people should be taught the correct evidence and should be fair you know it's all lies matzoh the so should be just like out who these things are happening well on with the larger a far larger ticket so i go 5 books now young people go google find that so much about history and young people should get over to to be told this or if. nations are conquered and get banned and destroyed not when we lose a war but when they lose an identity and that's very important. that we at the history we explain history the value of history but no not do not rewrite history.
8:29 am
