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 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

8:06 am
directly related to what those in power have to give a wide net the presence of the disaffected. columbia when the president is such a good friend to washington colombia plays a very strategic role. in america where there are several united states bases and one 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 billions of dollars you know came from the united states it came 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
8:07 am
ignoring uses in saudi arabia or anywhere else in the world by u.s. ally it's what they tend to do they tend to overlook things doesn't serve their interests. planning to to pull dozens of black people the 3000 strong community many of whom arrived from america claim the country as their ancestral home more than 50 years ago however television claims that they are in the country illegally and don't qualify for residency with more on the story. these are a town of demonic doesn't have many claims to fame beyond its name to. some is part of the secret weapons program but now demonic is back in the news its 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
8:08 am
homeland we feel that this is our. ancient homeland and. we can document these stings culturally historically we could document the fact that many of us are actually genetically culturally historically connected to this land we can't at this call we want to be like that. 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 just over hoffa say that now 100 of facing imminent. israel's interior ministry says they're in the country illegally and has rejected. we had about 2 dozen of our
8:09 am
family members friends associates here who received letters of deportation intended before and these were cases that had been in. 2 decades decades in some cases and so they were given 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 at pace 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 to 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 me and as an adult 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
8:10 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 ambala time a tourist visas expired years ago all of us have some degree of issue with the minister of interior in terms of taking some of your usually long time to get what you would expect to do to you in 3 years 4 years 4 months is 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 something else outside of the law and we incorporate ball 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
8:11 am
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're here because it is real and 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 devoted 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 vowed to stay put. to money. well it isn't just israeli deportations that's causing controversy at the moment planned evictions of palestinian families in east jerusalem have seen police and protesters clashed for a 3rd night running with tear gas and water cannon being yours i.
8:12 am
was at home . her at home. while the unrest does follow a court ruling that 6 families in the area have to leave their homes despite having lived there for generations it's under a controversial law that allows repossession of properties owned by jewish families prior to $948.00 of these families have until it has to leave and in total $58.00 residents including 17 children are being affected meanwhile the un is warning have rising violence by israeli settlers against palestinian civilians including the destruction of their property on top of that
8:13 am
a number of european command countries are also calling on israel to abandon its construction of settlements that they say are illegal under international law but with regards to the latest round of evictions the court does that say 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 occupation plan our duty is to continue our presence in solidarity with others our presence here is a duty like a prayer and fasting was 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
8:14 am
a right to this holy city are confronted with 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. well we also spoke with the maitre de leon he's from the fattah revolutionary council which is part of the palestinian parliament and 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 owned a when the state of israel was established on the historic land of palestine so that the religious group jewish religious group decided to clean these houses that
8:15 am
were not built before 48 that they belong to them since the land they have rented for 99 years in one in 885 there is a systemic segregation there are systems that make racism in this city israel including the court system that allows for israeli jews to claim land even though it's false but that they went there in 8085 while we cannot go back to our homes that were in the 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 use dirty water. to spray and people's homes so not only thought process were sprayed you call 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
8:16 am
by so it's a collective punishment thing so not only people that are using their right to practice freedom of speech it's also people that really are not even for spacing and us. not telling sound other ministry how to have been running over red square in a trust for her so for sunday's victory parade hundreds of troops have also been practicing to along with the air force they were the skies of the russian capital. 28 cities across russia. actually be taking part in this year's event which is baksheesh usual grand just after the pandemic saw things radically scaled back last spring in all some $1603.00 physicals and hundreds of backed off looking to surprising how the rules to be decided called immortal regine procession that usually sees families walking through the city center with portraits of their relatives from the great pantry or sick or dying this time around that is going to
8:17 am
take place online because it can say. watching at a still to come visit salah new details on the post breaks it fishing ran in jersey with british navy vessels now on standby after returning to court we'll have the latest on the dispute in a couple of it. so what males have tended to do and still do is is we tend to we certainly have empathy 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 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
8:18 am
for males to nurture other males to aggression to teach them how to be fixed through aggression. when we did our 1st show of the year we've been 3 games for 2021. dollars ation. now here we are in the 2nd quarter of 21 minutes showing up because the primary reason for getting inflation here is the. dad has put america on. we got a new cold war here and all the benefits that came to the u.s. economy by shipping jobs to china has now been used.
8:19 am
welcome back with our big pharma firms are fearing for their profits after moves by the e.u. russia and the united states to scrap. the pandemic the idea is to increase access capacity hawkins looks at why though it's being resisted. 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 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 1000 pandemic call for extraordinary measures didn't stray should believe strongly in 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 farmer giles
8:20 am
are holding their ground things are not simple they say despite best intensive and weaver is the simple but there are 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 are 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 about scenes 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
8:21 am
sheet looks good and 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 us 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 now it's a total to boo 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 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 u.-turn from below its belief that
8:22 am
a boxing 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 we call upon our 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 isn't even with the 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 humanity we're talking about literally the
8:23 am
bible of millions of people in every part of the globe so i really disagree with big pharma right now who you know we we've seen time and time again that they think about what's best for their pocketbooks rather than thinking about what's best for the heat. 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. i mean one of us faxing mcdonough has been named best jab at the annual world faxing congress in washington russia has questioned why it was singled out i say video this and although no criteria was given profess a stunning approach can he was at the conference does say it was rewarded for its revolutionary technology i was not responsible for the award but i
8:24 am
understand why that particular vaccine was given to. the highest honors what i think was being rewarded is a vaccine platform that is the messenger r.n.a. which is which has not been extensively tried and tested before and which is been shown to be highly effective it gives an excellent good news front. that seems to last at least for a number of months which so far have been measured although it causes local reactions and fatigue. and some discomfort but they don't last so that the secondary effects don't seem to be very major very important. well there are other factors to consider too which could make
8:25 am
the dinner less attractive to some for example it is one of the most expensive coded vaccines available however it does have good efficacy although not too different from the other leading vaccines that are out there now astra zeneca has come under scrutiny over recent weeks after some of those inoculated with the jab to develop blood clots however some are dirty uses have suffered from side effects to the fact a recent study does show significantly more deaths have occurred among those vaccinated with the 2 jobs and this comes from a 13 country survey of people who received at least one dose now we talked to lawrence young a professor of molecular biology at warrick medical school about all of this and he does say that actually comparing vaccines is not actually helping the global battle with the pandemic. i would be very concerned about trying to have a league table of what's a good vaccine was a bad vaccine what we know for sure is that most of the vaccines that have been
8:26 am
approved for around the world that are currently being used offer very good protection from serious disease and i think having like a league table of vaccines is is very dangerous and certainly not. necessarily the right thing to be doing at a time when what we need to be ensuring is that as many people around the world get whatever vaccine is available whether that will help in improving the distribution of vaccines i'm not sure these are very complicated vaccines to manufacture i think what we've got to do again across the world is look at the. capacity for improving the manufacture as well as the distribution so i think there is a bit of geopolitics he here but it isn't very helpful when the most important thing for all of us is to make sure that everybody is protected because as people keep saying and it's correct thing to keep saying nobody in the world is safe from this virus until everybody is safe. now never today the leaders of britain and
8:27 am
france are set to help roll over definition dispute that after the u.k. warships were deployed at a shared waters near the island of jersey amid a protest by french troll as for now the navy has been withdrawn or they does remain on standby charlotte devinsky has more. 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.t. both the u.k. and france sent a military ships to the area to patrol that came as french fisherman took their own action blockading the port of seoul earlier on the island of jersey the main port.
8:28 am
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 needed to use his trolling that's for instance they were different for everyone french a fisherman the rio 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 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 computer reprieve. a commission was notified by the u.k. of purity of granting 41 life to the. those who are in
8:29 am
jersey. waters from the 1st of many but there were additional conditions to be like. we have indicated to the you kate. only you you can trade and cooperation agreement that we recently agreed not been met and not been we speak earlier this week the french maritime minister freckle to cut off the supply of electricity almost all of which comes from hearing from the authorities in jersey saying that they are appointing 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 disproportionately threats emanating from paris and the potential blockade of our main harbor and days threats we take serious
8:30 am
nature protect his interests meanwhile choose easy oh who face she will see that they are the ones who are being bullied by the european union with their livelihoods being put under threats really had a. huge number of very very powerful back. in on that we have the last yeah but haitians for licenses are being processed those measures taken around about one pound 500 pounds of the same showcased the scholars for their products have been banned from landing. 1500 pounds of postcard being taken by french 3 and 3 landed back in djibouti years senator disparity in the way the 2 sides are being treated they were said to be livid that they rule authorities have been meeting with french fishermen when the same fact what they should be doing is standing.
