outrage poured in from around the world from concern to shock to lipservice 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 protesters but then again colombia is very friendly with the us america regularly sends troops there so why ruin a good thing but just for reference listen to how the united states to combat 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

5:07 am
that are acting as hands in 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. just is ignoring human rights abuses in saudi arabia or anywhere else in the world by a u.s. ally but they tend to do they tend to overlook things when it doesn't serve their interests. tel aviv is deporting dozens of black people the part of a 3000 strong community there many of whom are claiming the countries that are on. 50 years ago however now the israeli government claims that are in the country illegally and they don't qualify for residency fall asleep has got more in it. these rainy town of demonic doesn't have many claims to fame beyond in lending its name to buy in nuclear. is part of the secret weapons program but now the money

have the right to abandon any jerusalem citizen who is present grew up 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. he spoke to dmitri to me on 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 to house refugees that were invented from their homes. when the state of israel was established on the historic land of palestine so the religious group jewish religious group decided to claim these houses that were not built before $48.00 that they belong to
5:15 am
them since the man they have rented for 99 years in one in $885.00 there is a systemic segregation stomach racism in this city israel including the court system that allows for israeli jews to claim land even though it's false but dead they went there in 8085 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 react is very brutal because for example they used dirty water. to spray at people's homes so not only process were sprayed people sitting at their homes as well sprayed they used violence not only against forecasters against bystanders or people that are just walking or gets cars driving by so it's a collective punishment thing so not only people that are losing their right to

big pharma firms offended for the profits from his moves not by the e.u. russia and the us to scrap vaccine pay to the steering the pandemic the idea for it is to increase access and production capacity that whole concern looks that was a big push back from the farmer firms. just when you thought it was all quiet on a covert vaccine front a new battle begins it's deja vu it's the haves versus the have nots the poor countries pleading with the global pharma joins to 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 pandemic supports
5:19 am
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 the 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 their concern for the rest of the world just a few months ago when many wealthy countries hoarded vaccines threatening to sue each other or because of exports lobbyists would point out its capitalism 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 and the numbers show big farmers but on 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. the share big pharma freaks out 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 knowledge of falling into the hands of russia or china and that's a total to go speaking of russia joe biden has support from unexpected places as moscow approved the country's fork over job president putin reiterated his support for the proposal for those and in which we should not think about making maximum profit but about ensuring the safety of people even the e.u.
5:21 am
has jumped on the patent free bandwagon the u. turn from billions believes that a vaccine waiver would not be helpful and even with a change of heart w.t.f. negotiations could take many months to settle 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 i recall upon all my 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 a political power plays pitting countries against one another governments against corporations the finishing line still seems distant even with the best intentions a solution will come too late for many this is not
5:22 am
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 would really disagree with big pharma right now who 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. the leaders of britain and france are discussed the jersey fishing dispute of the u.k. warships rushed to share waters yesterday made a protest by french fishermen the navy's been withdrawn now for the moment but remains on standby shallow depends who's got the latest for you. there may be cause

5:24 am
species another will be limited to one fishing technique and when people meet it's to use a strolling that's for instance they were different for everyone french a fisherman. so what they see as being a breach of the briggs it deal over fishing rights they say that the dish will conditions have been imposed with limits on the number of days that they can fish and what clear that they can use in certain zones they've told r.t. that these restrictions are economically unbearable for french companies and now it seems the european commission is fully behind them on the 30 day reprieve. a commission was notified by the u.k. of glory days of granting 41 life to the u.k. those who are in jersey. workers from interested me but there were additional conditions to be like. we indicated to the you kate.
