howards you think through aggression. i. i. do this friday's headlines protests in colombia leave 24 dead amid a government crackdown there with the u.s. muffled condemnation like during civil unrest for instance in other latin american countries we'll examine that deeper. elsewhere tel aviv is deporting around 100 black israelites who've lived in the country for decades for allegedly failing to prove their jewish heritage coming up then we hear from the community direct i'm surprised because our community has been here for 50 years we have been a very vital part of israeli society. and it's not just deportations but

a vixens to causing controversy with the 3rd night of violence in east jerusalem where palestinians are fighting for their right to remain in their homes but shipping repossess now under a law giving claims to jews. and sole vaccine shortages or protect intellectual property rights that's the dialogue or it's the question facing world powers right now as they prepared to discuss a global waiver on pay to its meantime big farmers and some countries lining up to strongly oppose that idea. good morning from moscow this friday the 7th of may kevin owen here just turned 81 of the morning moscow time this is r.t. international i've got 30 minutes or latest news lined up for you well 1st as you

heard in those headlines dozens dead missing and hundreds injured after a week of anger at tax reforms in colombia the proposals now been scrapped but nonetheless the government's response isn't he. spurred protesters on a conflict vigil was held in the capital on thursday night with thousands gathering to pay tribute to the day while voicing demands for the killings to stop a violent response to protest has been globally condemned but there's been little but a carefully measured response from the us a country known of course for pulling out all the stops to support activists in other places here's our senior correspondent more capacity of. colombia is a warning to everyone a warning of what happens when people have had enough rage against unfair tax reform and that an out of control pandemic gloom over a destroyed economy and shocker to how the state has behaved.

millions of colombians of phoolan into poverty because of the pad demick and economic woes medians and the government plan must hike v 80 taxes so taxes on the already impoverished when the people rebelled the state attempted to crush them saying the police had new choice but to batter them senseless now whose defeat nothing justifies people who protected by the legitimate desires of citizens to

march go out to so defenseless citizens and cruel attack police. varying degrees of outrage poured in from around the world from concerned to shocked to lip service in fact you could even get away with condemning the protesters all over the world citizens in democratic countries have the unquestionable right to protest peacefully violence and vandalism is an abuse of that right at the same time we urge the utmost restraint by public forces to prevent additional loss of life yes you naughty policeman killing all those silly protestors but then again colombia is very friendly with the us america regularly sends troops there so why ruin a good thing just for reference listen to how the united states book about the protests in hong kong beijing and hong kong authorities are targeting hong kong as for doing nothing more than exercising protected rights and fundamental freedoms

including freedom of peaceful assembly and freedom of speech we will continue to stand with hong kong as as they respond to beijing's assault on these freedoms and autonomy and we will not stop calling for the release of those detained or imprisoned for exercising their fundamental freedoms you know how many protesters were killed by police in hong kong. 0 how many protesters were killed in russia then year is 0 the booth a neck deep in u.s. sanctions because of those protests will take in neighboring colombia the us tells us the but they've themselves in venezuela they supported in the coup led by described as washington's lapdog the brutal murder regime has systematically repressed the rights of its citizens its abuse corruption and mismanagement have stopped a humanitarian crisis we will continue to work with our partners across the region

both to alleviate the suffering of the venezuelan people and to exert pressure on the regime so the country can peacefully return to democracy no mention of the fact that of the suffering in the. juju american sanctions but hey it's just how politics works how much those in power care about the suffering of other people is directly related to what those in power have to get a wine that the peasants and the disaffected the stabilize colombia when the president is such a good friend to washington colombia plays a very strategic role for the man in states in latin america where there are several united states bases in colombia colombia for many years has been headed by governments and presidents that have been subservient to u.s. interests in the region there's even talk of colombia joining nato meanwhile in

venezuela you see a lot of the protesters were supported by the united states where did they get millions of dollars you know it came from the united states it came from the and geos that are acting as hands of the u.s. government as well as its allies so you see a lot of geopolitical strategy being used in the united states of course they would turn a blind eye to human rights abuses in colombia because it doesn't they're. just as ignoring. human rights abuses in saudi arabia or anywhere else in the world by a us ally it's what they tend to do they tend to overlook things when it doesn't serve their interests. tel aviv is deporting dozens of black hebrew israelites the part of a 3000 strong community the many of whom arise from america claiming the country is their ancestral homeland more than 50 years ago however the israeli government claims some of them are in the country illegally now and they don't qualify for residency paul asli has got the latest on. these are

a town of demonic doesn't have many claims to fame beyond landing its name to. some is part of the secret weapons program but now demonic is back in the news it's home to a community that course itself the african israelites. now this is a group of african americans who believe that they are the descendants of one of the lost tribes of israel in the case of judah and they see israel as the spiritual homeland we feel that this is are legitimate ancient land ancestral homeland we can document feastings culturally historically we could document the fact that that many of us are actually genetically culturally historically connected to this land we can't at this call we want to be part of that prophetic we wish to go forth in these very dark times on the planet and we know that we have that contribution to make and we've made that contribution for 50 plus years here in israel and we're known and we're known to people and. family members who over the past 25 years have

become deeply intertwined with us this african-american expect community of the largest in the world has lived here for just over hoffa say but now 100 of them facing imminent. israel's interior ministry says they're in the country illegally and has rejected. we had about 2 dozen of our family members friends associates here who received letters of deportation intent to deport and these were cases that had been in limbo for the last 2 decades decades in some cases and so they were given to our great surprise they were given a 60 day notice 21 days to appeal deportation notices so outside observers have acknowledged the fact that racism is an element in the. structure of the ministry of interior door now has just 60 days to get out of the country a place she's called home for decades. children all of whom were born in israel

also face in an inch deportation is very disturbing to me oncet think that my children will be deported from the land of their birth they have never lived anywhere else on this is the life that they know and as well this is the life that i will have spent most of my adult put here it was where i'm surprised because our community has been here for 53 years we have been a very vital part of israeli society our children serve in the i.d.f. any aspect of israeli society or a part of others feel they are living in israel time a tourist visas expired years ago all of us have some degree of issue with the ministry of interior in terms of taking some of usually a long time to get what you would expect to do to you in 3 years 4 years 4 months it's always something the difference is that some of us are already in the system and are moving at least not in

a positive direction the ministry of interior especially under the dominion of the orthodox parties has always seen us as something other than we're not seen as always something else we're outside of the law and we own and corporal into the family of the houses of israel and we know that there are many different divergent versions of judaism many different communities with different historians historical and cultural differences and find a way to get along how come we can't fit we're committed to this land we've committed ourselves to have futures our children 100 percent of our children when they graduate high school they serve in the i.d.f. we've represented israel in academic and sports and cultural events around this world the community has come a long way in the 53 years since a film effect from chicago with some 15 of his father was devotion and committed to israel that practice all jewish holidays and face to bills each weekend and practice polygamy although it's only a small percentage. the community that faces deportation everyone here is upset and

has vowed to stay put to police reality dimona. meantime is not just deportations causing controversy in israel at the moment there's been a 3rd day of violent clashes in east jerusalem with police breaking up protests against the plan to fiction of several palestinian families their offices resorted to tear gas and water cannon and were heavy handed is the accusation with demonstrators. i. the rest follows the jerusalem court ruling that 6 families of the area have to

leave their homes despite having lived there for generations it's under a controversial law that allows repossessions of properties owned by jewish families prior to 948 those families are now only got until august to leave it all 58 residents including 17 children are affected. aside from that the event warning of rising violence by israeli settlers against palestinian civilians including with destruction of their property a number of european countries have been calling on israel to abandon its construction of settlements in the west bank branding them illegal under international law as regards the latest renovations the court said that the tenants had failed to pay rent for several years and were unable to disprove jewish claims on the property we heard from some of those palestinian residents. i thought what he did your what do you mean what is happening is not new it is the israeli occupation atlanta our duty is to continue presence in solidarity with others oh

presence here is a duty like a prayer and fasting. lets them know that this battle continues we witness this every day but whenever we witness repression arrest demolition and seizure it's increases the resolve of this holy neighborhood this is evidence that the people are stronger than the will of the israeli occupation the people who are stronger than the administration of israeli weapons with which peaceful youths who have a right to this holy city are confronted with human have not. the court does not have the right to abandon any jerusalem citizen who is present who are educated and lived all their life in the city today someone comes to tell them that you have no right to this house this is a clear and explicit violation that insults and humiliates families in jerusalem. we spoke to dmitri de leon a from the fatah revolutionary council which is part of the palestinian parliament he told us israel systematically segregating palestinians. the homes there there

were 28 homes that were built by the united nations so how's refugees that were invented from their homes owned a when the state of israel was established on the historic land of palestine so that the a religious group jewish religious group decided to claim these houses that were not built before 48 that they belong to them since the land they have rented for 99 years in one in 800 $85.00 there is a systemic segregation there says that make racism in this area israel including the court system that allows for israeli jews to claim land even though it's false but that they went there in 885 while we cannot go back to our homes that we lived way too long before that and lands 'd in the old way long before that

the way the police reacts is very brutal because for example they use dirty water. to spray at people's homes so not only process where we're spraying people sitting at their homes where as well sprayed they used violence not only against protesters against bystanders or people that are just walking or gets cars driving by so it's a collective punishment thing to not only people that are using their right to practice freedom of speech it's also people that really are not even participating in the us. 6 in a huff post good morning for most if you just tuned in this friday morning coming up tensions between china and australia are on the rise we can report on that as beijing puts economic talks now on hold we look at why the on the rescue teams this morning too.

the world is driven by dreamers shaped by those great.

military thinks. we are here to ask. hi good morning what you think patent protection for covert 19 vaccines could be a way out of the vaccine crisis russia the u.s. and the e.u. are throwing their voices behind a move that would increase access to jobs and manufacturing capacity but big drug maker has a very different view the study holkins explains. just when you thought it was all quiet on a covert vaccine front new battle begins it's deja vu it's the haves versus the

have nots the poor countries pleading with the global pharma giants through broaden vaccine manufacturing capacity and it seems like they have some unlikely allies in their fight this is a global health crisis and the extraordinary circumstances of the call the 1000 pandemic call for extraordinary measures didn't stray should believe strongly in intellectual property protections but in service of ending this been damn except poor is the waiver of those protections for call the 916 on the other side the farmer giants are holding their ground things are not simple they say despite best intentions and weaver is the simple but their own answer to what is a complex problem waiting patterns of coming 1000 vaccines will not increase production nor provide practical solutions needed to battle that's global health crisis this decision does nothing to address the real challenges to getting more shots in arms including last mile distribution and limited availability of raw

materials they may have a point what they're really saying is that politicians are scoring points making good headlines without thinking through the whole process calculating risks or planning a strategy where was there concern for the rest of the world just a few months ago when many of the countries hoarded vaccines threatening to sue each other or cut off exports lobbyists would point out it's capitalism a free market unlike governments corporations are no obligation to think about moral issues the greater good all people before profit just as long as the balance sheet looks good on the numbers show big pharma is bought in the street does look pretty good pfizer alone made 3500000000 in revenue during the 1st quarter of this year so when someone at the u.s. president says it's time. to share big pharma for exult and so does the market with many companies seeing shares plummet some buy record amounts they're not the only

ones panicking some lawmakers are more worried about us that knology falling into the hands of russia or china and that's a total to bow speaking of russia to avoid and support from unexpected places as moscow approved the countries fork over job president putin reiterated his support for the proposal of those in which we should not think about making maximum profit but about ensuring the safety of people even the e.u. has jumped on the patent free bandwagon that you turn from a farm bill owens believes that a vaccine waiver would not be helpful and even with the change of heart w.t. only go she could take many months the subtle the european union is also ready to discuss any proposal that address the crisis in an effective and pragmatic manner. and that's why we are ready to discuss how

the u.s. proposal for waiver on intellectual property protection for covered vaccines could help achieve that objective in the short run however we call upon all vaccine producing countries to allow exports and to avoid measures that disrupt supply chains the race to a world where vaccines are available equally to all has been a marathon it's created political power plays pitting countries against one another governments against corporations the finishing line still seems distant even with best intentions a solution will come too late for many this is not a time to be thinking about profits it's a time to be thinking about people and mutual humanity we're talking about literally there's a bible of millions of people in every part of the globe so i really disagree with big pharma right now who've you know we have seen time and time again

that they think about what's best for their pocketbooks rather than thinking about what's best for the people and during this pandemic we have seen the wealthiest corporations get even wealthier corporations like amazon just went through the roof with their profits people business people are thinking about their bottom line instead of thinking about the bottom line of humanity. china relations it hit a bump after kicking only dialogue or suspended blaming its neighbor for having a cold war mentality without exactly specifying why. based on the current attitude of the straightly and commonwealth government towards china australia corporation the national development and reform commission of the people's republic of china decides to indefinitely suspend all activities under the framework of the china australia strategic economic dialogue tensions rose between the 2 in 2018 when a stray or band chinese telecom giant while a from bidding for its 5 g.

the obesity epidemic has the most important international health problem. let me does that going to tell us who we are told official in a little meeting. justin the fact that a. man made tragedy. earlier my life. i thought that my way it was all my fault. i felt like a failure. and frankly unworthy. and i took me

a while to really start questioning only ifs and challenging those thoughts like well are you really a failure and the answer is no i'm not i'm not but it took awhile to get to that point. obesity a blob of our era's fantasies caught in a web of prejudice it prompts scolding for poor choices and accusations of laziness an impotent genes provide an alibi. for what it would be city were a collective failure not an individual one the symptom of a free market that hates fat that produces fatsos and obesity genic society. it's a global phenomenon not one country has halted it. right

now there are 2000000000 people adults and children who are overweight or obese this doesn't happen by magic it takes work and we're going to look at her and his that is driving the process well otherwise we'll live in societies in which you know one out of every 3 people has diabetes where everybody is obese where people are dying of stroke and heart attack at age 40 i mean that the choice is an obvious one if we don't do something we will collapse as a society is not just in america but in mexico and russia and china and europe it's happening everywhere. almost everywhere in the world men and women are battling this fate political leaders physicians regular citizens they brave the multinationals. we truly believe that the.
