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 city protestors 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 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

7:06 am
is directly related to what those in power have to get a wide net present in the disaffected these stabilize colombia when the president is such a good friend to washington colombia plays a very strategic role for the united states in latin america where there are several united states bases and one beer 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 the millions of dollars you know came from the united states again from the n.g.o.s that are acting as hands of the u.s. government as well as its allies so you see 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
7:07 am
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 it doesn't serve their interests. i was planning to deport dozens of black people for 3000 strong community many of whom arrived from america claiming the country. more than 50 years ago however to live it claims that they are in the country illegally and don't qualify for residency with more on the story. these are a town of doesn't have many claims to fame beyond its name to. some is part of the secret weapons program but now dimona is back in the news it's home to a community that cause itself the african hebrew 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
7:08 am
homeland we feel that this is are legitimate ancient land ancestral land we can document these things 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 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 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 100 of them facing imminent. interior ministry says they're in the country illegally and has rejected. we had about 2 dozen of our
7:09 am
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 a 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 will never live anywhere else this is the life that they know i'm in as well this is the life that i've known i've spent most of my adult hood here it was where i'm surprised because our community has been here for 53 years we have been
7:10 am
a very vital part of israeli society our children serve in the i.d.f. any aspect of israeli society or a part of this field they 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 the 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 jews were it's always something else we're outside of the law and we incorporate into the family of the house of israel and we know that there are many different divergent versions of judaism many different communities with different historians
7:11 am
historical and cultural differences that find a way to get along how come we can't fit we're committed to this new way we've committed ourselves a future is 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 15 of his father was devotion and committed to practice all jewish holidays and faced each weekend and practiced polygamy although it's only a small percentage of the community that faces deportation everyone here is upset and has evolved to stay put. to money. well it's not just israeli deportations causing controversy at the moment planned evictions of palestinian families in east jerusalem have seen police and protesters clash for a 3rd night running would take gas some water cannon being used.

7:13 am
a number of european countries are calling on israel to abandon its construction of settlements saying that they are illegal under international law what with regards to the latest round of elections the course 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 the palestinian residents. that would be that your what do you mean what is happening is not new it is these rarely ok. our duty is to continue presence in solidarity with others our presence here is a duty like a prayer and fasting was that now 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 use who have
7:14 am
a right to this holy city are confronted human have not 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. but we also spoke with me from deonna he's from the fattah revolution council which is part of the palestinian parliament he told us that israel is segregating palestinians systematically. the homes there there were 28 homes that were built by the united nations to house refugees that were evicted from their homes. when the state of israel was established on the historic land of palestine so the a religious group of jewish religious group decided to claim these houses that were
7:15 am
not built for $48.00 that they belong to them since the land they have rented for 99 years in one in $885.00 there is a systemic said who geisha here 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 dead 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 reacts is very brutal because for example they use 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
7:16 am
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 for just facing in the us. the tanks and other military hardware have been writing i've read squared dress rehearsal for sunday's victory parade hundreds of troops have also been practicing along with the air force i for the skies of the russian capital. looking good so far with 28 cities across the. she will be taking part in this year's event which is back to choose her ground year after the pandemics all things radically scaled back spring you know some $1600.00 moves from vehicles and hundreds of aircraft up to supply and there will also be the so-called immortal judgment processional though not easily seen as families walking through the city center with portraits of their relatives from the great patriotic war but this time

7:18 am
when we did our 1st show of the year we name 3 names for 2021. dollars ation china vacation now here we are in the 2nd quarter 2021 minutes showing up because one of the primary reasons for getting inflation here is the diggle awful as a dad has put america in china on an antagonistic footing we got a new cold war here and all the benefits that came to the u.s. are. i mean by shipping all of our jobs over to china has now been used up. though again the big pharma firms are fearing for their profits with moves by the e.u. russia and the united states to scrap vaccine peyton's during the pandemic the idea
7:19 am
is to increase access and production capacity that hawkins looks at why though is being resisted. just when you thought it was all quiet on a covert vaccine affront 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 my fracturing 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 900 call for extraordinary measures didn't stray should believe strongly in intellectual property protections but in service of ending this been damn explores the waiver of those protections for call the 916 on the other side the farmer giles are holding their ground things are not simple they say despite best intentions and weaver is the simple but there are an answer to what is a complex problem waiting patterns of coming 1000 vaccines will not increase
7:20 am
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 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 of 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 farmers but in the street does look pretty good pfizer alone made 3500000000 in revenue during the 1st quarter of this year so when
7:21 am
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 boo speaking of russia joe biden has support from unexpected places as moscow approved the country's foreclosure job president putin reiterated his support for the proposal but there's a new tone 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 below its belief that a boxing waiver would not be helpful and even with the change of heart w.t. only go she could take many months to settle we are ready to discuss how the
7:22 am
u.s. proposal for waiver on intellectual property protection for coverage vaccines could help achieve that objective in the short run however we call upon our own 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 and now governments against corporations the finishing line still seems this didn't even with the best intentions and 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 survival of millions of people in every part of the globe so i really disagree with big pharma right now who've you know we we've seen time and
7:23 am
time again that they think about what's best for their pocketbooks rather than thinking about what's best for the peace. i'm enjoying 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. now the leaders of britain and france are set to hold talks over their fishing dispute that after the u.k. warships were deployed to shed waters near the island of jersey amid a protest by french truly for now though the navy has been withdrawn but remain on standby short to be as the latest. 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 playing the n.c. both the u.k. and france sent a military ships to the area to patrol that came as french fishermen took their own
7:24 am
action blockade on the port of salt earlier on the island of jersey the main core. of. the 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 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 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
7:25 am
conditions have been imposed with limits on the number of days that they can fish and want clear that they can use in certain zones they've told r.t. that these restrictions are economically unbearable for french fishing companies and now it seems the european commission is fully behind them on the 30 day reprieve. the commission was notified by the u.k. you already of granting 41 life to the best. in jersey. area waters from the 1st of many but be aware additional conditions to be like. we have indicated to the you kate. regions of the e.u. you can trade and cooperation agreement that we recently agreed had not been made and not being respected this week the french maritime minister freckle to cut off jay z. supply of electricity almost all of which comes from hearing from us but the authorities
7:26 am
in jersey say that they are avoiding by the breaks it 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 the potential blockade of our main harbor and they stretch we take serious nature protect his interests meanwhile jews easy oh to fishermen see that they are the ones who are being bullied by the european union with their livelihoods being put under threat really had a. huge number of power right. now that we have lost yet patients from licenses are being processed. taking around about one route $500.00 pounds of the same show the scholars for their part of the landing.
