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 for many years there's been headed by governments and presidents that have been subservient to u.s. interests. 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 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 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 u.s. ally but they tend to do they tend to overdo things it doesn't serve their interests. israel is promising to dozens of black people

11:08 am
many of us are actually genetically culturally historically connected to this land at this call we want to be part of that 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 hoffa say but now 100 of facing imminent. 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 decades in some cases and so they were given to our great surprise
11:09 am
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 interesting poll 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 that they know and as well this is the life that i've now spent most of my adult could hear it was where i'm surprised because our community has been here for 53 years we have been a very. hard israeli society our children serve in the i.d.f. any aspect of israeli society or a part of others feel they are living in israel 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 you 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 men you know the orthodox party 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 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 cultural differences that find a way to get along how come we can't fit we committed to this and we've committed ourselves to have futures our children 100 percent of our children when they

a global health crisis and the extraordinary circumstances of the call the $1000.00 pandemic call for extraordinary measures the demonstration 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 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 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 there concern for the rest of the world just a few months ago when many wealthy countries hoarded the vaccines threatening to sue each other or cut off exports lobbyists would point out its capitalism of pre-market unlike governments corporations are no obligation to think about moral issues the greater good or people before profit just as long as the balance sheet looks good on the numbers show big farmers by 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 total to blue speaking of russia support from unexpected places as moscow approved the country's fork over
11:15 am
job president putin reiterated his support for the proposal for those new to him 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 a backseat waiver would not be helpful and even with the 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 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
11:16 am
and now governments against corporations the finishing line still seems this didn'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 there's a buyable of millions of people in every part of the globe so i really disagree with the former 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 wall these 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 american kovacs in him in turn has been named best jab at the new world facts in congress in
11:17 am
washington russia has questioned why the vaccine more single banks over the others and although no criteria was given professor stanley park and he was at the congo conference that does say it was lauded for its revolutionary technology. i was not responsible for it but i understand why that particular vaccine was. 5 years 5 years what i think would be rewarded with a vaccine by. the messenger on a which is. which has not been extensively tried and tested the poor and which is been shown to be highly effective it gives an excellent community front. seems to us at least for a number of months which so for good measure. causes local
11:18 am
reactions and. in some discomfort they don't want asked so we secondary effects don't seem to be very major very important. however there are other features too which could make it less attractive to some it is for example one of the most expensive vaccines available sputnik astra zeneca being a lot cheaper and also there have been concerns over fatalities now despite cases still being very rare maternal has the 2nd worst record behind the pfizer jab however it does have good ethical see as do most of the jabs sputnik does lead the way with the top 3 being in excess of 90 percent we talked to lawrence young a professor of molecular on quality in the u.k. about this he is against having lead tables and says it does not help the global battle against the pandemic. i would be very concerned about trying to have
11:19 am
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 in the 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 in 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 heat 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 been to keep saying nobody in the world is safe from this virus until everybody is safe. the leaders of britain and france are set to hold talks over their fishing rights to speed 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 the drawing but from mains on standby shall have been ski reports from france. there may be cause for car mover 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 fisher it took their own action blockade on the port of seoul earlier on the island of jersey the main port there.
11:21 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 meet it is to use his trolling that's for instance they were different for everyone french a fisherman are 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 or what they can use in certain zones they've told r.t. that these restrictions are economically unbearable for french fishing companies
11:22 am
and now it seems the european commission is fully behind them on the 30 day reprieve. but a commission was notified by the you give glory days of granting 41 life to the. those who are in jersey. area waters from interested me but there were additional conditions to be like. we have indicated to the u.k. that. you you can trade and cooperation agreement agree recently agree had not been met and not been respected earlier this week the french maritime minister recalled to cut off chairs the supply of electricity almost all of which comes from hearing throngs but the authorities in jersey say that they are appointing by the briggs's agreement the answer to the difficulties that we currently face without that talk and diplomacy. but equally we've had
11:23 am
disproportionate threats emanating from paris and the potential blockade of our main hollaback and they stretch we take serious nature protect his interests meanwhile jews easy oh who face shame in saying that they are the ones who are being bullied by the european union with their livelihoods being put under threats we've had a. huge number of very big power. rollout in one of the and the last yeah for patients from licenses are being processed. taken around about 1500 pounds of the same showpiece the scholars for their products have been banned from landing. $1500.00 pounds of those columns being taken by french and freely landed back in your 50 year senator huge disparity in the way the size of the tree thing was said to be livid that they rule authorities have been meeting
11:24 am
with french fishermen when the same fact what they should be doing is standing united with them against those threats coming from fronts shoulder to ski aussie paris well earlier i spoke with craig murray a former british ambassador who also negotiated fishing rights for the u.k. he believes that his speech would be better results without its politicians on either side getting involved. you know we've been to about before i personally was chased through the streets of sherbet both ends of the ship and we didn't send the gunboats because of that when i was a when i was a business diplomat the the key point is these disputes go back hundreds of years and the 3 in the channel islands and the fisherman normandy and vishnu fisherman the late to each other and they've all been fishing in each of us fishing grounds by agreement using traditional guides for hundreds of years and looking after each
11:25 am
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 authorities in paris and london should be kept to a minimum and is actually extremely unhelpful. washington international so that's how the news is looking safe today here not so yeah good to have you company will have the headlines and more stories in just dive off.
