6:01 am
it's not just israeli deportations but they're victims too causing upset with the 3rd night of violence reported in east jerusalem but palestinians are fighting to stop their homes being repossessed under a controversial law. passed world powers are backing a global wave. peyton's to solve vaccine shortages but big pharma firms are pushing back against it it would affect massively profits. if joy is good day from russia here in moscow it's just one of the afternoon this friday something made my name's kevin i mean this is art international 1st and dozens are dead and missing and hundreds have been injured after a week of tax reforms in colombia the proposals now been scrapped but nonetheless.
6:02 am
the government's response is only spurred protesters on a candlelight vigil was held in the capital on thursday night with thousands gathered to pay tribute to the day while voicing demands for the killings to stop the violent reply to the protests is being globally content but there's been little but a carefully measured response from the us of a country course known for pulling out all the stops to support activists in other countries is a senior correspondent for ghastly of. colombia is a warning to everyone a warning of what happens when people have had enough re she can start unfair tax reform and that an out of control pandemic gloom over a destroyed economy and shocker to how the state has behaved.
6:03 am
millions of colombians of full and intel poverty because of the pandemic and economic woes medians and the government plod must hike be 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 that of them senseless. nothing justifies people who protected by the legitimate desires of citizens to march go out to shoot defenseless citizens and crew attack police. varying degrees of outrage poor dean from around the world for concern to shock to lip service in fact
6:04 am
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 stand with hong kong has as they respond to beijing's assault on these freedoms and
6:05 am
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 years 0 a booth a neck deep in u.s. sanctions or take the days where in neighboring colombia the u.s. tells brutus the behave themselves in venezuela they supported unarmed coup led by a man described as washington's lapdog the brutal murder regime has systematically repressed the rights of its citizens. it's 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. ju-ju american sanctions but hey just
6:06 am
how politics how much losing power i care about the suffering of other people is directly related to what those in power have to get a wide net the presence of the disaffected d. stabilize colombia when the president is such a good friend to washington colombia plays a very strategic role for the united states of 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 and 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 the millions of dollars you know that came from the united states that came from the n.g.o.s that are acting as hands at the u.s. government as well as its allies so you see
6:07 am
a lot of geo political 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 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 people they're part of a 3000 strong community many of whom arrive from america claiming the country is their ancestral homeland more than 50 years ago however the israeli government claims that in the country illegally now they don't qualify for residency pulis lee has got more. these are a town of demonic doesn't have many claims to fame beyond mending its name to. some is part of the secret weapons program but not to mana is back in the news it's home to a community that cause itself the african israelites of jerusalem and now this is
6:08 am
a group of african americans who believe that they all 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 answered this call we want to be part of that was 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 are 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 a hof a century but now roughly 100 of them facing imminent. interior ministry says
6:09 am
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. this is certainly 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 at pace she's called home for decades. children all of whom were born in israel also face in an interesting taishan 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 know i have spent
6:10 am
most of my adult hood here it was where i'm surprised because our community has been here for 53 years we have been a very wide open hearted israeli society our children serve in the i.d.f. any aspect of israeli society or a part of this field 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 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 we thought in a positive direction the ministry of interior especially under the dominion of the orthodox parties has always seen us as something other than not seen as a jewish race always something else we're outside of the law and we incorporate ball into the family of the houses of israel and we know that there are many
6:11 am
different divergent versions of judaism many different communities with different historians historical and cultural differences that find a way to get along how come we can't fit we committed to this and we've committed ourselves our futures our children 100 percent of our children when they graduate high school they serve in the i.d.f. we work as it is really an 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 50 of his father was devotion and committed to 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 police reality to money. it's not just is really deportations causing controversy right now either planned evictions of palestinian families in east jerusalem have seen police and protesters clashed violently again for
6:12 am
a 3rd night running with officers resorting to tear gas and water cannons. that are unrest follows a court ruling that 6 families in the area have to leave their homes despite having lived there for generations it's 100 controversial law that allows that repossession of properties owned by jewish families prior to 948 those families now have until august to leave in all 58 residence including 17 children are affected the. meantime the un is warning of rising violence by israeli settlers against
6:13 am
palestinian civilians including with destruction of their property and also a number of european countries continue to urge israel to abandon its construction of settlements branding them illegal under international law as regards the latest round of actions the court said that the tenants have failed to pay rent for several years and were unable to disprove jewish claims on the property we heard from some of the palestinian residents direct. so what he did your what do you mean what is happening is not new it is these rarely occupation plan our duty is to continue presence in solidarity with others our presence here is a duty like a prayer and fasting a lot of. 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
6:14 am
weapons with which peaceful use who have a right to this holy city are confronted human have not yet the court does not 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. is posted to me totally 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 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
6:15 am
not built for $48.00 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 since the 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 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 thought process where were spraying people sitting at their homes as well sprayed they used violence not only against protesters against bystanders or people that are just walking or gets cars driving
6:16 am
by so it's a collective punishment thing so not only people that are using their right to practice feet in speech it's also people that really are not even participating in the us. tanks and other military hardware the molding of a red square earlier today an interest for herself or something big victory parade coming up and also be a flyover with hundreds of troops marching to. 28 cities across russia will be taking part in issues of a. and when she's back playing tricks as usual grabs you after pandemics or things radically scaled back last year in all some 1600 military vehicles and hundreds of aircraft are participating another thing that's happening this year too is the so-called very popular mortal regiment procession usually this means families walking through the city center with portraits of relatives from the great war as
6:17 am
it's called here this time around though that's going to take place online and we've got special coverage coming up from 9 o'clock in the morning here on out international and local time we'll take you through it as it happens. the. all right now back to the present at 17 minutes past one of the afternoon local time here in moscow thanks for watching covered up new details on the post bricks it fishing row in jersey that kicked off years they didn't it with british navy vessels now back on standby again after returning to port we'll tell you what the latest is. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the
6:18 am
day or thinks. we dare to ask. so what males have tended to do and still do is 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 lego soccer and football and you know all of the various hundreds of games that involve aggression you know women are aggressive and can 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 it should be of capek's through aggression. and.
6:19 am
big pharma firms and fearing for their profits with moves by the e.u. russia and the u.s. to scrap the vaccine peyton's during the pandemic the idea is to increase access and production capacity than the whole can is not based on looks at why it's being so hotly resist it. just when you thought it was all quiet on the 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 giants 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 damage call for extraordinary measures didn't stray should believe strongly in
6:20 am
intellectual property protections but in service of ending this pandemic supports the waiver of those protections for call the 916 on the other side the foreign giants are holding their ground things are not simple they say despite best intensive 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 this 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 wealthy countries hoarded vaccines threatening to sue each other or cut off exports lobbyists would point out it's capitalism
6:21 am
a free market unlike governments corporations of 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 pharma is bought 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 knology falling into the hands of russia or china and that's a total to bow 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 that those in it in which we should not think about making maximum
6:22 am
profit but about ensuring the safety of people even the e.u. has jumped on the patent free bandwagon that u. turn from below its belief that a vaccine waiver would not be helpful and even with a change of heart w.t.f. negotiations could take many months the subtle 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. 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
6:23 am
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 the bible of millions of people in every part of the globe so i would 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. the leaders of britain france or the discuss the jersey fishing dispute after the u.k. warships rushed to shed waters amid a protest by french fishermen it really kicked off the last 24 hours and that the navy has been withdrawn for now but remains on. the latest for you.
6:24 am
there may be cause for car move or the escalating tensions in relation to fishing rights in the english channel but it seems everyone is really upping the ante both the u.k. and france sent a military ships to the area to patrol that came as french fishermen took their own action blockading the port of salt air on the island of jersey the main. reason we're really angry with them is that the fishing licenses came with technical restrictions that were different for each fisherman and these restrictions are completely illegal and violate the breaks a treaty for example a fisherman for some totally illogical reason won't be allowed to fish in
6:25 am
a certain zone in jersey's waters another won't be allowed to fish for certain species another will be limited to one fishing technique and when people meet it's to use destroying nets for instance they were different for everyone french fisherman. so what they see is 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 in 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. the commission was notified by the you give glory of granting 41 life to the. those who are in jersey. waters from the rest of me but be aware additional conditions to be like. we have indicated to the you kate.
6:26 am
one of the provisions of the e.u. you can trade and cooperation agreement that we've recently agreed not been met and not being respected this week the french maritime minister freckle to cut off jews the supply of electricity almost all of which comes from hearing from us but the authorities in jersey say that they are applied by the briggs's agreement the answer to the difficulties that we currently face is without doubt talking and diplomacy but equally we've had disproportionate threats emanating from paris and a potential blockade of our main harbor and threats we take serious nature protect his interests meanwhile josie's own fishermen see that they are the ones who are being bullied by the european union with their livelihoods being put under threats
6:27 am
we've had a. huge number of very very powerful back. in one of the last yeah the patients for licenses are being processed right back to take around about one pound 500 pounds of the same show the scholars who have been banned from landing. $1500.00 pounds of scots. french and free landed back in your day he said there's a huge disparity in the way that. they were said to be livid that they room authorities have been meeting with french fishermen when they say in fact what they should be doing is standing united with them against those threats coming from france shoulder to. see paris. plus the way things are looking so far this friday lunchtime of the farmers here in half an hour from me kevin 0 in on the team be on
