and. i am sad. protests in colombia leave 26 dead and with a government crackdown we look at why the u.s. has offered only muffled condemnation unlike during similar undressed in other countries. israel is deporting around a 100 black people who have lived in the country for decades and say it's the ancestral home they fear their children who were born there to what will also be a breach it. is very disturbing to me to think that my children would be deported from the land of their they've never lived anywhere and this is the life that i

know of spent most of my adult put here it is a. world power as a backing a global wave on covert vaccine peyton's to ease shortages although big pharma are pushing back over the move which could massively hit their profits. very well welcome to you you're watching r.t. international with me and he at our top story this hour dozens are dead and missing and hundreds injured in colombia after a week of anger at tax reforms the proposal has now been scrapped but the government's crackdown has only splurged the protests a candlelight vigil was held in the capital on thursday night with thousands gathering to pay tribute to the dead as well voicing demands for the killings to stop the violent reply to the protests has been globally condemned however there

has only been a carefully measured response from the united states a country known for pulling out all the stops to support activists in other countries mark gasnier looks at why. columbia is a warning to everyone a warning of what happens when people have had enough rain she gets that unfair tax reform and that an out of control pad demick gloom over a destroyed economy and shocker to how the state has behaved.

medium's colombians of phoolan into poverty because of the pad their mic and economic woes medians and the government plaid must 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 bats of them senseless now whose defeat nothing justifies people who protected by the legitimate decides of citizens to munch go out to so defenseless citizens and cruel attack police. there eating degrees of outrage today in from around the world for concern to shock to leap to surface in fact you could even get away with condemning 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 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 were killed by police in hong kong. 0 i've been approached this is with killed in

russia in years 0 a booth and neck deep in u.s. sanctions or take their days where in neighboring colombia the u.s. tells brutus the behave themselves in venezuela they supported unarmed cool led by a man described as washington's napco 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 real mention of the fact that of the suffering and that it is jus 2 american sanctions but. just how politics will how much losing 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 to be married states of 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 millions 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 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 overlook things when it doesn't serve their interests. is ronnie's planning to deport dozens of black people that post of us 3000 strong people or community many of whom arrived from america claiming the country is that ancestral home more than 50 years ago however tel aviv claims they're in the country illegally and don't qualify for residency with more on the story his policy. these are a town of demonic doesn't have many claims to fame beyond its name to buy in nuclear reactor that someone is part of a secret weapons program but not dimona is back in the news it's home to a community that course itself the african hebrew israelites of jerusalem now this is a group of african americans who believe that they are the descendants of one of the lost tribes of israel in they cased judah and they see israel as the spiritual homeland we feel that this is are legitimate ancient homeland 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 can't at 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're known it were 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 the hof a saint but now roughly 100 of them are 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 the fort 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 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 interesting and it's 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 of a militant 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 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 they tourist visas expired years ago all of us have some degree of issue with the ministry 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 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 of or something i'll give they're not seen as the jews were it's always something else we're outside of the law and we and corporate and to the family of the houses of israel and we know that there are many different diversions 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 get we committed to this when 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 israel they practiced all jewish holidays and face to bills each weekend and practice polygamy although it's only a small percentage. of the community that faces deportation everyone here is upset and has vowed to stay put policy r.t. dimona. tanks and other military hardware have been rolling through red square in moscow in a dress rehearsal for sunday's victory day parade hundreds of troops have also been practicing on the air force has been in the skies over the russian capital.

28 cities across russia will also be holding their own parades this year moscow's event is back to its usual ground 0 after the pandemic saw things last $600.00 military vehicles and hundreds of that class down participating in the capital and that would also be the so-called in mosul regiment to station like you usually see it stands to that is gripping to the city senses their city center with portraits of their relatives and the great patriotic war as the example of what is known in russia it is time around is going to take place online. big pharma firms are fearing for their profits after moves by the e.u. russia and the us to scrap design seem peyton's during the pandemic the idea is to increase access and production capacity down hawkins looks at why it's be 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 through broughton 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 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 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 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 providing 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 cause all the 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 as balance sheet 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 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 a u. turn from a farm bill owens believes that a vaccine waiver would not be helpful and even with the 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 all

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 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 the bible of millions of people in every part of the globe so i would 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 people during this indictment 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. meanwhile the american kind of redesign excede mcdonough has been named best job at the annual world vaccine congress in washington russia has questioned why the vaccine was singled out over the other criteria was given professor stanley plotkin he was at the conference as it was lauded for its revolutionary technology. i was not responsible for the word understand why that particular right signal was given. the highest honors 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

before and which has been shown to be highly effective it gives an excellent immune response. that seems to last at least for a number of months which for good measure. causes local reactions and. some discomfort but they don't want us to so the secondary effects don't seem to be very major very important. but there are other features which could make it less attractive to some it is one of the most expensive vaccines available sputnik announcer's that i could being a lot cheaper and i have also been concerns as i say tallaght cease to now despite cases still being very rare madonna has the 2nd worst record behind the fines that jap. however it does have

a good as i can see as do most of the japs sputnik leads the way with the top 3 in excess of 90 percent we talked a lot once young a professor of molecular oncology in the u.k. about this he's against having league tables 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 what's a bad back scene what we know for sure is that most of the vaccines that have been approved around the world and are currently being used often 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 vaccines available whether that will help in improving the distribution of vaccines i'm not sure these are very complicated fact seems to manufacture and 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 here you know 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. kadian prime minister justin trudeau has dismissed criticism of his country's 1st as an internet regulations dismissing those who oppose the bill see 10 as tinfoil hats whereas reference to conspiracy theorists. oh his attacks on democracy have gotten more brazen and that's what he's trying to do by silencing canadians online with bill c. 10 will the prime minister tell us how long it will be before every aspect of canadian life must conform to his liberal vision of canadian society he rode on or

will prime minister the tinfoil hats on the other side of the aisle are really quite spectacular the bell has been widely criticized as the government moved to regulate free speech while authorities say it's designed to modernize broadcasting policy in an era of increased media consumption and to regulate you change the actions of accordance with state law with its past it would also allow the canadian radio and t.v. commission to impose similar regulations on streaming platforms some of said that mistrust of the proposal the prime minister on twitter what did his response have to do with bill seat white kohli's who deflects and reverts back to his rehearsed script he's a traitor just like his daddy you too full house don't exist much now because conspiracy theorists are becoming conspiracy relist the concern with boosie 10 is

very well placed and you are the fool if you think we believe would you say a political analyst we talked to believes the prime minister's words are insulting and that this is not the topic he should poke fun at. the government had assured. internet users that they would not be subject to this kind of control but just a few days ago i believe it was last friday the government removed this clause now all personal content is included. in the bill that is definitely a without question the breach of freedom of expression and especially in the wake of the cold with pandemic to control content and you tube and other channels have done all kinds of censorship of their own eliminating content closing down channels which offer alternative views

trudeau said that those criticizing bill seaton or who are afraid of censorship. are wearing tinfoil hats which is an insult to usually. presented to those 'd who challenge your views on many subjects so i don't think it's something that you can joke about because the west has been on the censorship drive. in general already so this may or early. and confirms the feeling that we are being that there is a pressure to control. information. elitist out of britain and france are set to hold talks over their fishing right to speak that's off the u.k. was shipped were deployed to shared waters near the island of jesse and that a protest by french troilus for now the navy has been withdrawn but remains on

standby challenged by the ski 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.c. 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 seoul earlier on the island of jersey the main core. 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 a strong that's for instance they were different for everyone french fishermen theory and so what they see is being a breach of the briggs it deal over fishing rights they say that it did conditions have been imposed with limits on the number of days that they can fish or what clear that they can use in certain circles 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 committee the reprieve. a commission was notified by the you give glory days of granting 41 life to the. those who are in jersey. waters from the 1st of many but there were additional conditions to be like. we have indicated to the

u k. only you you can trade and cooperation agreement that we recently agreed had not been made and not being respected earlier this week the french maritime minister threatening to cut off chairs 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 breaks it agreement they 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 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 we've had a. huge number of very big power back. on that we have the patience for licenses. protest. votes take around about one pound 500 pounds of the same show the scots are that i have been banned from landing. 1500 pounds of no scot being pregnant by french and free landed back into the senator the fair here in the way to try to green tree i think was said to be livid that they room authorities have been meeting with french fishermen when they same fact what they should be doing is standing united with them against those threats coming from france so much even ski aussie paris. from craig murray a former british ambassador who also negotiated fishing rights for the u.k.

he believes the disputes would be better result without politicians getting involved. you know we've been through before i personally was chased through the streets of sherbet both and fisherman we didn't send a gunboat because of that when i was a when i was a british diplomat the key point is these disputes go back hundreds of years and the thing in the channel islands and the french fisherman normandy and brittany fisherman then 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 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. many thanks for joining us here on out the international we're back in 30 minutes with the latest c.n.n. .
