the medical and scientific establishment. so what's driving the obesity epidemic it's. the top stories in r.t. nato starts its largest military exercise in decades right on russia's doorstep with the alliance claiming that the drills in albania are transparent and defensive tempers fry in the waters off jersey with britain sending its navy is a dispute over fishing rights with france boils over and parents in the u.k. is sounding the alarm about their government's approach to long we speak to a mother whose son has been ill since last autumn. as a mom when you see your son really factoring and there is no why. you still help us no dogs really know what to do. i'm not sure ridge says a one shot for. vaccine. lights is said to have an efficacy rate of

nearly 80 percent. below their nice to have you company this are you watching r t international where it's just gone 5 o'clock in moscow no major nato military exercises have kicked off in albania defend europe is an annual event this year the supposed to be the largest in decades our senior correspondent says the reasons for it are not hard to get. nato immediately after coming down and russia with the propaganda equivalent of 5 and brimstone for daring to stage a snap military exercise has followed suit with the biggest nato war games the

continent that seen in 3 decades but it's different they say you just don't understand i'm going to continually talk about what we're doing it's called transparency it's a wonderful thing and we're not getting that at a mosque alan and we and we have it so that's a big difference right there and it's a defensive exercise which is you know a lie straight and in you'll face they don't really takes a cursory look at the brochure or a visit to a u.s. embassy website for all their talk of russian aggression it isn't russian paratroopers practicing offensive operations in mexico along the border with texas it's american paratroopers dropping deep into simulated enemy territory and alice drive from russia's very real border has.

the scoop that this exercise is lost they were announced well ahead across 16 nations near enough 30000 nato troops thousands of vehicles ships and jets will pound away at targets and dummies to send a message usually you don't say to who it's understood but again ukrainian officials to the rescue ukraine by the way also taking part in these war games with the purpose of the exercises from the baltic to the black sea is to train and let us speak plainly for. war with russia most the thing is every year these nato war games get bigger and bigger more hardware more countries more american troops somehow defending themselves closer and closer to russia's borders drills are

getting bigger too and we know how irritable nato gets when someone outs there is hold large military exercises for all who are concerned about a massive military buildup on. russia are a must and this military buildup per. person provocations to deescalate the level of hysteria that followed the crimean military exercises was deafening it was everywhere and on everything how bare russia do this in the general vicinity of nato countries and not for a moment since all before has nato even considered how other countries feel when american troops are practicing invasion scenarios kilometers from their borders jonathan steele an international affairs commentator told us that the continued expansion of nato 1st and foremost benefits america's huge military industrial

complex. i think it's going to sure is a meter is able to bring in all of the countries that are directly on the border of russia or former members of the warsaw pact the military is trying to larger itself and get more and more members trying justify its existence it's part of this american imperial germany to try and get as many countries into an agent or and you know the next stage because once they're good everybody in major in europe will be to push around to the north and north africa and middle east and try to get countries to join from the so it's clearly an organization which should have ended at the end of the cold war in the words it also gained it but it hasn't in its lorillard units all its course also advice was selling american weapons to countries and getting them to spend money on defense not nearly always means buying weapons from america not from anybody else so it's part of the corporate industrial

complex of the united states. now the u.k. sent in its royal navy as opposed to brics it spat with france over fishing rights intensifies the gun boats are being deployed to the waters off jersey after paris threatened to leave the island without power that's all because french fishermen claim that they've been denied licenses to fish in the area where the waters between france and jersey have been shed fishing territory for hundreds of years the island belongs to the u.k. but relies on france for some of its amenities however you case divorce from the scuppered the status quo i am french fisherman a sailing to jersey to protest delays in getting licenses to fish from the islands authorities you can see their boats arriving at the port of st helena here they are angry too about new limits on how long they can spend in shared waters and in the last couple of days too it is a dispute that scott really hated as charlotte devinsky explains. with paris

london heads over fishing rights in british waters the noises are out of french minister has now threatened to plunge the u.k. island of jersey into darkness unless french trawlers continue to have access. to government provides free tell you term measures and these measures of retaliation we are ready to use europe france has means they're inscribed in the agreement and so far as jersey's concerned al remind you for example of electricity transportation by undersea cable so we have the means and even if i regret that we could get to this point it will get there if we must move with france supplying almost all of the island's electricity this is a see you use warning the electricity for our travels through iran to go and see as well so that. you know hospitals etc would be less this is

a really really. sort of threat to my it's a very draconian. measure and it's not the only threat coming from france the u.k. is expecting a number of authorizations from us on financial services we will not give any and so we have guarantees that's one fisheries and other issues the u.k. respects its commitments its give and take each side should respect its commitments otherwise we will be as brutal and difficult as necessary until the brig's it deal french vessels have the right to continue fishing in british waters if they had done so before the u.k. left the e.u. what's causing problems now is the required proof to show that french official in claim that they are having problems obtaining licenses. were discovered that they had given a number of authorize

a sense but even more so they have. place conditions for the right of fishing conditions that limit us to today's conditions that limit the number of days we can fish in the year limitations and fishing gear for the fishing. they have been created all of a sudden without saying anything without warning and one and without going through the small channels with this thing measures suddenly everyone discovers the drop on except a bull fishing conditions economic bearable french norman breton fishing company to complicate matters while jersey is a u.k. crown dependency it's responsible for its own waters and the island's fishermen think that they are the ones getting the rough end of the deal you know that he reports to stand by the. regulation controlled fishing and protection of indigenous fishermen and you know we've had a massive fleet of really big fishing you know waters at the same time that have

boats have been prevented from landing there catch back into the you just change. it's almost all these are the principles that we stand by but it doesn't really matter so much. a little i would like to see tensions have been rising for some time now with claims that only 22 from 120 boats that were from or to france region have been given access leading to a blockade in the port of born knowing so matt the u.k. denies these claims saying the licenses have been issued to all 87 french vessels that have applied for them and met the criteria well more than 40 boats have been specifically authorized to fish in jews these routes is. as the realities of brigs it's juicy islanders and french fishermen alike it seems have been left

trawling for answers jollity been ski artsy paris for. months of stomach pains and headaches have left a mother terrified for the welfare of her son born is just one parent currently sounding the alarm about the british government's approach to long. everything back. on the k. 2. so i don't want his getting. unsure they're looking and i know how and that may have. the issue maybe not such a degree of my son's got or some other kids i mean there's a lot worth the my father the government of 2 children get one virus and that we need and or children venters that we can take

our children to get the or and i know you think they need. and the support they need physically mentally and emotionally and that is what we need here in the u.k. . it does involve a range of symptoms and complications that still occur several months after the initial infection among as we heard there are 30 headaches difficulties thinking coughs skin rashes and also insomnia each patient has their own set of problems and for the moment it is unclear how long it lasts for now according to the office for national statistics over a 1000000 people in the u.k. reported long coded symptoms in march with many experiencing at least one for 12 weeks but the percentage of children is comparatively low compared to other age groups already born again says though the main problem is that nobody seems to know what to do. he was really ill up until october and now he he has.

you know i got back so since january i would say he has more good faith and bad but we have equal attack for example he just had an attack if we can't. with the week with my son's attacks you always do think they have a oil mess. but. you know at this time he looked him up all learn. he gets headache. and stomach perry but then it could be another time it might be late and he has had to prevent this honest wow go through a wave of different from him and he whine for now he's fine can be fine for wait and then it will come back as a mom when you see your son really suffering and there is no way of him getting better you still help us no dots really knows what the crop in you have in

we've long cut it is that it's not one system that affects it it's various systems they need to your heart specialist you need. a fast phone ensure that if you need to. you know you need to do is see a long russian is in all these different people and the problem you have is the one you get everything you can all go in but it can play poor and it's like you want them to join up the door but they're not an achievement it will fit. in well rushers i just had a new covert vaccine called sputnik light is a one shot job with high ethical sea according to the russian defense direct investment fund that is behind its developments with more details is. well 1st off the single shot put make light has already been called a younger sibling to make the now the let me give you some details that was put

out today nearly 97 percent of all those of vaccinated with the sputnik allies have developed antibodies and its efficacy level at the moment stands at 79.4 percent and apparently it's effective against all of the coronavirus that exist in the world today and today that there hasn't been any side effects any serious side effects whatsoever now during a meeting with russian president vladimir putin the deputy prime minister in charge of health said that sputnik lights will be administered to people aged aged 18 to 60 years old and also will bed ministered to those who had already had called it but at the moment there and see what is level are a very low russian president so welcomed the news and he brought up a very interesting comparison you see when you should be doing at the moment this is you know them you will now includes. them be used to camilla juice and blood

horns this has been the use with the kids would move them leave the most reliable and the seat was just as long european experts as reliable as a kalashnikov rifle and yes we did not see a european expert did and he was right i believe he would seem to like a kalashnikov rifle now due to its single shot design that sputnik light could be crucial in mass vaccinations during the most critical phases of the pandemic around the world and also doesn't cost an arm and a leg up errant manufacturers have put it at below $10.00 u.s. dollars per shot now meanwhile via 2 jav sputnik v will remain the. exene of choice for people here in russia and sputnik light will be exported around the world. twitter has suspended an account of donald trump's new web site just

a day after it was created it was made by the former president's communications team to share his statements trump is also found out see that he won't be pasting on instagram or facebook either any time soon because their oversight board up held the ban it imposed on the former president after the capitol hill riots in january triggering quite an outburst from trump himself. the boards fall into the 2 posed by mr trump on general with the 6th so really violate the facebook's community standards and instagram's community guidelines given the seriousness of the violations and the ongoing risk of violence facebook was justified even suspending mr trump's accounts on jenner of the 6 and extended that suspension on generally the 7th however it was not appropriate for facebook to impose an indefinite suspension what facebook twitter and google have done is a total disgrace and an embarrassment to old country these corrupt social media companies must be

a political price and must never again be allowed to destroy and decimate electoral process well the tech giants to claim attach on file a to their incitement of violence policies we discuss the implications of all of this with a foreigner trying to campaign advisor karen joel and i will say with the r.t. america heyst chris hedges. they have created these digital monopolies which should be broken up if they can do it to a head of state like trump they can do it to a head of state like merkel or somebody else that they don't like what they really want to shut down or any critics on the right or the left of neo liberalism of corporate capitalism of the crimes of imperialism and. we just it's not a world that we want to enter because it essentially snuffs out the free flow of information we must remember they know everything about us we know nothing about them and it sets a very dangerous precedent now it's

a whole new paradigm and one that i find very terrified i think this should actually terrify every single american any single citizen in the free world because we're looking at. a private corporation who is operating as a platform and one day and a publisher the next day we can have have it both ways but the. only they are right now these individuals whether they are the c.e.o. of the company or a board were representative of of the company itself to make these decisions to silence americans or elected officials and not only becomes. a question of free speech we have a corporation an american corporation that is arguably more important and more powerful than elected representatives. the russian foreign minister has his had to the policy of sanctions against moscow in his armenian counterpart

with fielding questions from journalists after talks between the pair from you don of sent this report. well this is the 1st leg of circular journey as he said to visit azerbaijan next now mending relations between armenia and azerbaijan countries borderline warring with each other has somewhat dominated the agenda here in europe on today and according to both ministers russia's and armenia's the process of settling the dispute over nagorno-karabakh is perhaps ever so slowly but is moving forward right now russia is trying to help facilitate such a basic necessities in the golan a cow back has people's access to willock tricity stable access to electricity water food and just the embry turning to their homes another matter on the agenda here is a well helping armenia to deal with the cold with 90 pound demick just recently

russia shipped to thousands of doses of its the vaccine against covert 19 and right now they are discussing a shipment of a 1000000 doses and perhaps even moving the production and having armenia produce manufacture russia's sputnik vive also i asked circular about how he would describe the state of relations between russia and the e.u. right now because moscow and brussels they have been engaged in something like a sanctions ping-pong against each other here is how the russian foreign minister described the situation. we won't leave unanswered these attacks against russia parliamentarians are companies which are guilty only of being registered in a country that the e.u. has decided without grounds and illegitimately to label an aggressor the e.u. believes it can do whatever it wants when it starts threatening us with new sanctions another main europe hears impunity it's

a road to nowhere so effectively while the raw member states within the e.u. who want a much much more. positive relationship with russia brussels believes that they can do whatever they want with 0 repercussions. america has been named the world's biggest threat to democracy despite being touted is it supposed to be can a poll conducted by the alliance of the modern democracies foundation placed it above china and a war so russia well you organization was founded by and is for good as moose in the former nato secretary general more than 50000 people from 53 countries took part in it and 44 percent of them agreed that washington's influence was a threat china came 2nd in russia was on the list all the same though the us secretary of state along with his british counterpart on monday did single out beijing and moscow is maligned influences responding to

a situation where our values are being challenged the international architecture is at least in some respects been weakened together our 2 countries recently took measures to prevent british and american businesses from inadvertently supporting forced labor in iran and elsewhere and china will continue our robust cooperation to address the atrocities and change on a crackdown on pro-democracy activists and politicians in hong kong which breaches china's international commitments and the repression of media freedom across china and in other parts of the world i also want to thank the united kingdom for joining us in holding russia to account for its reckless and aggressive actions historian and author general and says that public support for washington's power plays is on the wane including in europe. people across the globe are not naive and they come to the simple conclusion that the united states is the bully on the block obviously they're seeking to launch a new cold war not only against china but against china and russia combined it's

part of the psychological makeup of those who ruled it out of state to be the leading country on planet earth and they see that now alluding their grasp and so they want to take down china by any means necessary and there's also opposition to russia because russia will not go along with this new cold war against china i think that poll results suggest that it will be difficult to launch that new cold war because international public opinion is not only hostile to the idea but i think in europe in particular there is or knowing and growing realization that the united states would like to fight china and russia to the last european and i don't think the europeans are sufficiently naive to go for that bad bargain i count us haven't seen millions in brief night before the guy for the government protesters have been met with a violent crackdown by police in

a 9th day of unrest in the colombian capital. i was this is used to gas here and more to canon to disperse the protests in bogota that ended in clashes at least $24.00 people have been killed and hundreds injured in the outgoing demonstrations against tax increases the protesters claim the measures only place more pressure on the poor and middle class. dozens have died in thousands left homeless by flash floods and to wrenshaw rain in yemen some roads to the capital sana'a are reportedly cut off and there and i fear is too about the spread of water borne diseases is another hard blow for a country that is already in the grip of a humanitarian crisis blamed in part on the side led intervention and the protest against the planned of action of palestinian families to east jerusalem here is that even more violent clashes police stormed the neighborhoods to disperse the crowds some say officers see the scene. so that brings you up to date

watching out international which could have accompanied. headlines and more stories in about 35. milton's i would say i'm not american but americans helped out really. world war 2 cures the depression carsley time shows his concern prosperity of course from store.

to more than for us the whole world what it what and. historical rewrite ever since world war 2 to foment the cold war against russia against communism of. socialist mishmosh. the soviets all made out to all close to a swath of the earth so used to call them go. to world war 2 has been the story credibly by the anglo-american media and that's because they wanted to minish the role of russia. and stalin who actually defeated hitler. so what males have tended to do and still do is we tend to we certainly have empathy and all of that but we also tend to do nurture through aggression so we

create things like like soccer and football and you know all of the various hundreds of games that involve aggression now women are aggressive and can play those games no doubt very well but when you go back to why they were created those were created for males to nurture other males to aggression to teach them how it's you know pm to 6 through aggression. so max kaiser this is the kaiser report well you know and the whale is turning her back to where we were 100 years ago let's find out more from stacey max has dawned on me that the roaring twenties are back yes history is

actually seemingly repeating itself in fact not just rhyming so you know incomes are up 21 percent since last march and up 33 percent from 21000. to consumer spending highest ever stock markets all time high and let's 1st look at charlie monger he's a partner with warren buffett over ads for hathaway and of course is from the 1920 s. he was born in 1924 so he will remember as a little child baby flapper you know that the wrong twenty's charlie monger on big queen today quote i should say modestly that i think the whole damn development is disgusting and contrary to the interests of civilization he owns banks that launder billions per year and have been charged criminally give me a break says f.

and he promptly i know right right path next to get out survey showed their you know just how many 5 percent of the berkshire hathaway portfolio he break it down is banks and the banks are the 1st in line from a central banks to get all the bailout money member berkshire hathaway's been bailed out twice without those bailouts they would have been bankrupt long ago they're under performing even. with the bailouts they're still underperforming the s. and p. and nasdaq for more than 10 years these guys are their bombs they're charity cases right so then you say income is up 30 percent to be clear that's not wage that's income it's people getting minimum wage plus government transfer payments debt are being stuffed into their mailbox as well charlie munger and warren buffett their income is by billions because instead of getting $800.00 or 2 $1000.00 from the government they get 10.
