yanks this is what happens to pensions in britain. you watched as a report. i pad protests in colombia leave 26 dead dead amid a government crackdown why the u.s. has offered only muffled condemnation though unlike during similar unrest in other countries also this hour israel supporting around a 100 black people who have lived in the country for decades and say it is their ancestral home they fear though their children who were born there too will also be uprooted. this very disturbing to me to think that my children will be poured from the land of their birth they will never live anywhere this is the life that i have spent most of my adult hood here it is where i will power as a backing

a global waiver on covert vaccine paid since the shortage is a low big pharma pushing back over the move which could massively hit their profits . i welcome good afternoon watching r.t. international is just gone 5 o'clock am in moscow now dozens are dead and missing and hundreds injured in colombia after a week of anger tax reforms the proposal has now been scrapped but the government's crackdown has only spurred the protests a candlelight vigil was held in the capital on thursday night with thousands gathering to pay tribute to the dead by police and demands for the killings to stop the violent reply to the protesters being globally condemned however there's only been a carefully measured response from the united states a country known for pulling out all of the stops to support activists in other

countries. looks at what. colombia is a warning to way everyone a warning of water. happens when people have had enough rain she gets that unfair tax reform and got that an out of control pad demick boom over destroyed economy and shocker to how the state has behaved. medians colombians of fool him into poverty because of the pandemic and economic

woes media and the government plan was to hike taxes so taxes on the already impoverish when the people rebelled the state attempted to crush them saying the police had new choice but the bad to 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. they're eating degrees of outrage today in from around the world from concern to shock to leap service in fact you could even get away with couldn't deadening the protest of 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 policeman killing all those city 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 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 i've been approached this is with killed in russia in years 0 the booth than it deep in u.s.

sanctions will take the days where in neighboring colombia the u.s. tells brutus that behave themselves in venezuela they supported in the coup led by a man described as washington's let go of the brutal murder a 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 should have the fact that most of the suffering in the. ju-ju american sanctions but hey 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 wide net the presence of the disaffected de stabilize colombia 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 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 billions of dollars you know came from the united states that came from the n.g.o.s 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 bear. just is ignoring human rights abuses 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 when it doesn't serve their interests. now israel is planning to pull dozens of

people of a 3000 strong community many of whom arrived from america claiming that the country claiming the country as the ancestral home more than 50 years ago however tell if if planes in the country illegally and doesn't qualify for residency with more on the story his poor slave. these are a town of demonic doesn't have many claims to fame beyond in lending its name to new can't we accept that somebody is part of a secret weapons program but now demonic is back in the news it's home to a community that cause itself the african hebrew israelites of jerusalem and 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 homeland ancestral homeland we

can document these stings 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're known to people and these are part of our family members who over the past 25 years have become deeply into twined with us this african american expect community of the largest in the world has lived here for just over half a century but now roughly 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

don't have 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 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 a place 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 to think that my children will be deported from the land of their birth they've never lived anywhere else this is the life of a militant and as well this is the life that i've now spent most of my bill 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 best but that is right society or a part of others feel they are living in israel ambala 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 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 versions 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'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 practice all jewish holidays and face to bills each weekend and practice polygamy although it's only a small sainted. of the community that faces deportation everyone here is upset and has vowed to stay put policy r.t. dimona. and other military hardware have been rolling 3 red square in moscow in a dress rehearsal for sunday's victory day parade hundreds of troops have also been practicing and the air force has been in the skies to you over the russian capital . 28 cities across russia will also be holding their own parade speciate moscow's

event there is banks which usually grander after the pandemic saw things radically scaled back last spring you know $1600.00 military vehicles and hundreds of aircraft are participating in the capital and we're also be the so-called immortal regiment procession that usually sees families walking through the city center with paul trace of their relatives from the great for your sake war that is the 2nd world war is known here in russia although this time around it is going to take place on the line because of country it is. now the leaders of britain and france are set to hold talks over their fishing rights dispute that after u.k. warships were deployed to shared waters near the island of jersey amid a protest by french trawlers and the navy has been withdrawn but remains on standby charlotte dubinsky reports now from france. 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 in the area to patrol that came as french fishermen talk their own action blockading the port of salt air on the island of jersey the main earthquake. 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

uses trolling that's for instance they were different for everyone french fishermen are serious over 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 or what 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. a commission was notified by the you give glory days of granting 41 life to. those who are in jersey. area waters from the 1st of many but where additional condition to be. we have indicated to the u.k. that we feel. one of the provisions of the new you can trade and cooperation

agreement that we recently agreed had not been met and not been respected earlier this week the french maritime minister right to cut off cheers 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 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 those threats we take seriously to protect his interests meanwhile jews easier overall fishermen will 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 very very powerful back. we have

the patience for licenses are being processed those votes are taken around about one route $500.00. of the same show the scholars that i've heard have been banned from landing. 1500 pounds of those got pregnant by french and really landed back senator. kerry in a way to try to bring tree they were so to be livid that they rule authorities have been meeting with french fishermen when the same fact what they should be doing is standing united with them ok let's those threats coming from france show that people ski party paris. ok well let's get the thoughts now of craig murray he's a former u.k. ambassador who was also the head of maritime section at the u.k.'s foreign and commonwealth office so is going to be good to get your thoughts on this craig a naive negotiated fisheries agreements before how do you think that this latest

spat was able to escalate to the point that warships are being used between 2 allies. well this is utter utter madness and sadly it's politicians behaving possibly of a sponsible putting lives at this and making passions their lives in a way that will make it hard to negotiate a sensible those aleutian of those problems which is is difficult but not more impossible to do there been a series of agreements between the channel islands and jersey in particular on farms and i personally negotiate that the 1st lot them in one times in 10913030 years ago. so you surprised that well i know you are surprised that it reached this point where you think it's wrong but it was the u.k. right to respond in the way it did considering that france had said it was going to

cut off electricity for example to the island and also blockade its port was that the point of no return if you think there was another way for the u.k. government. no i think i should say i think we have a bomb blast coming with and government in response to their fishermen was was unacceptable but there was certainly you know we've been through before i personally was chased through the streets of sure book both ends fisherman we didn't send the gunboats because about when i was a when i was a british diplomat the the key point is these disputes go back hundreds of years and the 3 in the channel islands and that don't change. fisherman norman and brittany normandy and brittany fisherman the late to each other and they've all been fishing in each other's fishing grounds by agreement using traditional guides for hundreds of years and looking after each other you know in cases of storm and

ship and that kind of thing. and these families all all know each other and this is a local difficulty about traditional rights and the involvement of central of qualities in paris and london should be kept to a minimum and is actually extremely unhelpful do you think there's a danger then the fact that boris johnson is going to meet. that could actually make matters worse do you feel it should be dealt with on a much lower level then to sort this act. absolutely but this should be dealt with between new fire to use in. telling you know new priorities and sherbet. and between the fishermen on each side who need to talk to each other never so you know there's been a great deal of. intermarriage an interlaced unshipped between the specie communities going back hundreds and hundreds of years they all know each other. and

they should be encouraged to sort it out as locally as possible so what what would you use them for say from these talks that are going to get held between these 2 leaders i think each one is going to want to be seen to be grandstanding and each one is going to want to be seen to to win but they both have an unfortunate the matter of style of of national so that's why my suspicion is that nothing helpful is going to come of this at all. much of the argument has been that this is all been a result of breck's it's do you think that's necessarily fair and if so would you expect many more disagreements then to perhaps erupt in the future. i think to some extent blacksad has been the catalyst but with of course we should remember the channel islands were never in the european union and also be towed toile cities within 12 miles of the not exclusive economic zone so it's not nearly

connected to be the common fisheries policy and i do think oh i should also say i'd have to be extremely helpful of the european commission stayed out of that as well ok well look good advice we're going to leave it there for now we'll have to wait to see what comes of these talks that was craig marries a former u.k. ambassador was also the head of the maritime section of the u.k. foreign and commonwealth office thanks for coming on. now in other news big pharma firms are fearing for their profits after moves by the year rush around the united states to scrap vaccine peyton's during the pandemic the idea is to increase access and production capacity down hawkins looks at why it's being resisted. just when you thought it was all quiet on a covert vaccine a front a new battle begins it's their job who 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 $1000.00 damage call for extraordinary measures that ministration believe strongly in intellectual property protections but in service of ending to spend damn explores 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 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 level 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 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 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 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 not total to blue 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 tune 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 a change of heart to go she 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 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 distant 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 there's a buyable of millions of people in every part of the globe so i really disagree with big pharma right now 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. 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. well meanwhile the american

vaccine him attorney has been wanting to bestir the new world of facts in congress in washington how russia has questioned why the vaccine was singled out over the others and although no criteria was given professor stan you put kid who was at the conference to say it was lauded for its revolutionary technology. i was not responsible for the reward but i understand why that particular vaccine was given. he hires auditors what i think was being rewarded is a vaccine platform that is the message you're on a which is which has not been extensively tried and tested for and which is shown to be highly effective it gives an excellent community response. it seems to us that police were

a number of months which for measure. causes local reactions and for. some discomfort but they don't want asked so we 2nd very refracts don't seem to be very major very important. to us as it does have of the features to which could make it less attractive to some it is one of the most expensive vaccines available for example a sputnik and ashes and a hair being a lot cheaper and there are also been concerns to you over fatalities now despite cases still being very rare and has the 2nd worst record there behind the pfizer jap however it does have very good efficacy was as was mentioned as do most of the other chaps in fact sputnik leads the way here with the top 3 being an excess of 90 percent or we talked to lawrence young

a professor of molecular on college in the u.k. about this he is against having lead tables though and says it does not help the global battle against 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 approved around the world and 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 as 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 are not sure these are very complicated fact seems 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 you're watching out international thanks for company tonight just coming up to half 5 in moscow more from us at the top. the in the end.

game. live. in the in. the in. the clean starter at the course but he said he forgot. other than that he meant. that all of the butters the book are useless all that is.
