find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. and a clash of ideas e.u. leaders pushed back against washington's plan to wave. but with no prospects and you poll suggests 40 percent of french noses want to change their profession amid the ongoing. medical personnel are exhausted salaries are miserable people are starting to understand what is really going on. and fresh clashes have broken out between israeli and palestinian protesters ahead of a planned jewish nationalist march this comes as. over the expulsion of palestinian families from east jerusalem. silenced for their views

a former weightlifter tells me that female athletes are being told to stay quiet about any issues they might have with transgender athletes competing with other women. we need to we have tried to speak out we've been told that the concept of anything we say. lately take human rights. 4 o'clock monday afternoon this is aussie international live from moscow welcome to your stories. european leaders have turned their noses up at a u.s. proposal to waive patient rights to. splits about the move a page or an e.u. summit this weekend with german chancellor angela merkel saying it will not solve the ongoing shortage of shots around the world. for me questioning patient

protection here is not the profit to lead us to more vaccines and that's a vaccine i have made it clear. that i do not believe that the waving of peyton's is a solution to make that available to more people this is an idea mooted by the by i didn't ministration last week they said you know what we can do is we can wait for the patriots vaccines which will allow the vaccine production to be ramped up in other countries because the portuguese who have created that expect scene would then be able to produce it it's an idea that the world health organization has welcomed but generally. welcoming this to all but could germany be left out on its own in the cold over this issue taking the opposite side to this was france's president michael who suggested that the idea of wavering vaccine peyton's could be a good idea opiate he flip flopped on this quite a few turns of the weekend so he's hinted to be determined way you will land on

this particular issue he seemed to be incensed infuriated when he was pressed to the press conference by journalists as with a europe should be following the us is a leader on this and he basically said us follow them i think you'll find it's the opposite way. i ask you the european press and almost psychological question when a year ago we europeans lost access to covert tools accelerator you didn't say oh you europeans have moral leadership and the u.s. isn't following you and when the us follows us which is in fact what is happening you say ah the us is showing leadership emanuel mark on the had his criticism specifically for the u.s. when it comes to the export ban on covert vaccines and on essential ingredients needed by european produces to make the vaccine here drop them is what he demanded . i call it very clearly on the united states to when the export bans not only on

vaccines but on components of those vaccines that are necessary for production we've killed back today saying come produce a vaccine in europe because components a block from the united states lift the export benz. just about this in context the e.u. has exported around 200000000 doses of vaccine is around the world at the same time the white house has pretty much put a blanket ban on any cookie vaccine through leaving it. comes at a time when this seems to be this growing frustration this tension in the e.u. over the idea that basically the party didn't administration is now pushing forward its own new gender is if it's the one we needing to charge all the way through the covert health crisis and some might be questioning whether in the future when this is. the story that will be painted is that this is a. covert war that america one. really happens.

meanwhile a new poll in france suggests 40 percent of nurses want to change their profession they complain of working conditions small salaries and a lack of recognition and perspective we spoke to. who says discontent among health workers had already been brewing for quite some time already. well you know when i read in the newspapers the 40 percent of nurses want to change their jobs i'm terrified they leave and want something else not because of the code crisis it's huge prostration this been building up over several decades and they have already expressed that by going out into the streets and demonstrating but those protests were violently suppressed in france the police often opt for forceful repressive methods you saw what happened to the yellow vests and the demonstrations of medical personnel were also brutally suppressed with john diamond special forces clearly in their powers so when the crisis hits employees who are already tired and devastated

by then demanded recognition of their work and a pay rise but it never happened it was like somebody poured ice cold water on them the french health care system which was ranked 3rd or 5th best in the world has turned out to be a fictional medical personel are exhausted salaries are miserable and people are starting to understand what is really going on according to the poll 51 percent of nurses think their profession doesn't allow them to experience real career development or prospects nearly 2 thirds consider their job as thankless and more than 92 percent believe the health crisis has shown the role and duties of nurses must be reviewed well the issue of salaries is also of concern more than 75 percent of working nurses less than the national average are the norm as pressure on the health system during the pandemic salaries became one of the main issues for widespread protests among workers last year the government then promised to spend

an additional 8000000000 euros to boost wagers i think again so if you're thorough he's failed medical workers. we were called heroes during the 1st wave the now the it's money that we do you move than ever before and the directives that come from the government are a catastrophe bordering on criminal we have an invisible common enemy 19 and specialists from different fields united to fight is and only the government failed to provide the medical staff with the necessary protective equipment and did not revise their working conditions i am simply horrified that the prime minister is talking on t.v. about some kind of victory they say we did not have to introduce enough to look down and this is a victory but let me explain that to those who've lost their relatives to be honest i don't understand what kind of victory we can talk about here. israeli police fired tear gas and stun grenades

a new clashes with palestinian protesters at a holy site in jerusalem. the confrontation comes as israelis mock the annual jerusalem day that commemorates the reunification of jerusalem and the establishment of israeli control over the old city hardline israeli nationalists plan to march through the muslim quarter of jerusalem's old city later on monday an annual event widely perceived as a provocative display of jewish germany over the contested city clusters near the old city have already led to one alarming incident you might find the following video disturbing the jewish driver of a car rammed into a palestinian protested near the old city the demonstrator was seen quickly getting up to his feet and limping away and the driver claimed his car had been set upon by a mob and while trying to escape he lost control of the vehicle after that the protesters surrounded the car trying to attack the driver and passengers with rocks

before police when did arrive at the scene. now the latest violence follows days of tensions over the possible objection of palestinians from the land claimed by jewish settlers israel says the seizures are necessary for security or clashes over the past few days have left almost 300 palestinians injured and here now is some of the scenes from jerusalem in the past 24 hours. world. tensions have reach maximum points here outside jerusalem as you can see the israeli soldiers are marching forward and they're ready to apply the full force of the local fans really police have surged forward to arrest and number of people so

you can see that that's happening over there and now people are going to run back because it's going to be stunned today coming and our direction there are water bottles being thrown there are glass bottles being thrown rocks being thrown it really is again are people getting forward and then retreating and in searching for what until the israeli police are able to clear the area we are looking at the 3rd consecutive night of clashes here in jerusalem and at the same time this is the worst violence that the city has seen in 4 years tensions are so confining high not just here in jerusalem but across the west bank where reinforcements has been bolted and now the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said he will not allow strict elements to riot interview slim and he'll make sure that worshipers are able to practice the freedom of worship all of this of course is happening during the holy month of ramadan which is part of the reason why we seeing this up

take intensions also 2 things to watch for on monday they will be the annual jerusalem day commemoration in which thousands of israelis take part they march through the streets and they will be coming this way which is likely to provoke the situation which is why some have been calling for to be delayed and the other big story we've been watching is what's going to happen with the force in fiction are some 70 palestinians. from their homes in the arab youth radio neighborhood of shared jarrah now they want supposed to be an announcement tomorrow by the supreme court but that has been delayed because of the tensions that we've witnessing here in jerusalem at the same time a coin has gone out from how much to actually for people to come to the streets and provoke the situation the fact that the palestinian president mahmoud abbas in different perspective and palestinian elections that was supposed to happen later this month has also added to tensions and he believes the israelis are met so far

in this violence one israeli youngster has been killed and one palestinian youngster has been killed so they are very barricades tensions soaring high at the moment the way it looks it's far from over policia r t jerusalem. meanwhile if you look at this footage here you can see israel's iron dome defense system intercepting what was said to be 2 rockets fired from gaza on sunday night israel also says incendiary balloons were launched from gaza sparking fires which burned for days and she wore coalitions richard berke says the recent events marked the biggest spike in tensions between the 2 sides in years. netanyahu is hoping that somehow repression we're going to have our part of the problem that he's facing with all the corruption charges and so forth and somehow get him back in profits but there's something much bigger this point on here well i think the tape i understand and this is where the choir case was postponed and they are now

facing the possibility of a new mass rebellion so we're seeing something that we haven't seen in a long time and it's really is a reaction to the increasing and intensified oppression and repression of the palestinians. he's ilands form a olympic weightlifter tracey lumberjacks claims that female athletes are being told to stay quiet of any issues they have about transgender people participating in a women's competitions whenever we have tried to speak out we've been told that we can't say that anything we do say that it seems to lately have been taken so the human rights court so we've been dissing carriage every step of the way and even to this day it's still being told to be quiet and not talk about it laurel was overweight lestat before the transition so having transitioned in the thirty's that

athlete would have still had the benefits of peace tossed her own for 30 years so is no way as a woman making compete against a transient athlete who's had the benefits of a saucer and for that long even with having to lower it below it of mouth is still male 18 times the amount the average female is a reason why ends thought we do have male and female character and by allowing this to happen it's just blair in the lines. issues were 1st raised when transgender athlete laurel hubbard was allowed to compete as a woman before transitioning in 2013 hubbard took part in men's weightlifting competitions and later in 2015 she was permitted to take part in the olympics after the international olympic committee released rules for transgender athletes allowing them to compete as women and anyone who drives missions from female to

male is allowed to compete with other males without any restrictions but those who transition from male to female face certain conditions firstly their gender status has to be confirmed as female and hasn't been changed for at least 4 years and the level of testosterone has to be below 10 and for at least 12 months tracy again thinks the rules should be evolving as the sport does it mean more research just. looking into the facts and making sure that everyone is on the same pay whether or not the rules of stay here that's what needs to be discussed these roles were i think the balance in 2008 cenotes a 1015 we're now in 2021 so i feel like the bulls should be evolving as the sport has and as. people of all because people are coming out now and war transcended and i think that we just need to keep up with the times why should

i compete when i'm never going to be able to one because the this is what i'm up against and i think it bears purpose seen so there have woman for being out of sports which is not what we want we want to increase in women planes full of what are not international gadhafi with us today still ahead for you in this program u.s. politicians are split over the president's emergency rescue package they say it might be proving to be more of a hindrance than a help for the economy. and other stories in just about. remembering more on this edition of the program we explain why the russians have a new version to war contrary to what is said in west. at the recent g. 7 foreign ministers meeting russia was clear and expressed it was really reckless

in the press. the problem with having money printing. near 0 percent or 0 percent interest rates is that it destroys price signals in the economy because you're saying the underlying fundamental substance of the economy that is money money itself is the grow material economics of capitalism you're saying it has a 0 value so therefore if you have a 0 value for the substance of your economy it's very very difficult to build something that you can point to say well that has value doesn't have any value because they're both equally valued less. for joining us today here on out say when it comes to relations with russia the

e.u. seems to be sending out rather mixed signals these days slovakia's foreign minister says it's time for cooperation with moscow to be fixed but the czech prime minister has such a state that all member states should be expelling at least one russian diplomat let's try to understand exactly what this is about my colleague neil harvey talked about it with. if you're trying to understand even policy towards russia in recent days good luck because for a block the premise is unity and cooperation that's the real splintering here on monday is foreign minister came out in a century said that brussels needs to stop pushing ties with russia to an irreparable brink we're certainly in a difficult phase of our relationship with russia between slovak and russia but collectively between the european union and russia we need to stop the negative spiral for relationship now germany supports the sentiment says it's time to mend fences with russia so there's one camp that's looking to repay rebuild news that

the kremlin welcomes but on the other hand another camp has emerged and it is the czech republic weeks off to prague out of the blue and without any evidence accused russian agents of being behind an explosion at a weapons step in 2014 and expelled russian diplomats as punishment it's now asking all the e.u. nations to jump on its bandwagon and also kick out some russian officials on top of that it's also apparently going to demand financial compensation from moscow for that explosion to the tune of $39000000.00 euros now whether the whole block will take a sledgehammer to its ties with russia and fulfill progs wishes is pretty unlikely partly because the whole explosion story is so far from watertight 1st off it was a case that ran cold for 7 years and suddenly it was resurrected from the dead the 2nd thing is that the investigation is still ongoing but already the blame has been

laid at the kremlin still strip but the most bizarre thing is that the czech president himself came out and said he see nothing that would suggest russian responsibility and that this anti russia hysteria has to stop this is the czech president himself why would he want to undermine his own country for that statement he was actually accused of treason so like i said good luck trying to get to the bottom. what it what what is that the e.u. wants from russia is it dialogue or is it a deterioration of ties of individual states understandably i think at times looking after their individual interest but of course they're all part of this union has there been any kind of unifying message to come out of brussels well i think 1st off when you talk about what russia's position is because russia's made very clear from the beginning that it's always open to dialogue but when prague expelled the russian diplomats when talk of sanctions in march it did speak out pretty strongly it said that this was all an effort for e.u. states to quote please that western leader now off the back of that regarding

brussels and its statement i do want to listen to something that we heard from one of its representatives our relations with the u.s. a changing now we have a strong partnership this became especially clear after the g. 7 summit will discuss russia with which shone the country relations are not improving what we just heard from the row is an incredibly strange statement because essentially the suggestion is that good relations with the u.s. are dependent on bad relations with russia and that kind of rhetoric does nothing to dispel rumors that a western leader is pushing e.u. russia ties to the cliffs so like i said it's all really entangled infighting within the e.u. infighting within the czech republic and with prague diverging so much from its neighbors setting up its own come pick you have to ask is it doing it for itself or is it doing it at someone else's behest. a protest has been staged outside tokyo's national olympic stadium against this summer's games which you do to be held in the

city is less than 3 months before the event gets underway following last year's postponement due to the pandemic of demonstrators marched around the stadium at the same time as a test event was being held inside with around $400.00 athletes an online petition in japan calling for the olympics to be counselled has already collected more than 200000 signatures. since being launched on friday it all comes as japan has just extended a state of emergency in tokyo in 3 other areas until at least the end of the month and made a surge in covert cases now a recent poll shows almost 60 percent of those quizzed want the games to be called off just over a 3rd think they should still go ahead and of those around a 5th think there shouldn't be any spectators we hit the streets to get opinions. in my opinion this is because the lives and livelihoods of many people have been neglected for the sake of their lympics of course the pandemic masses and for their

lympics the outdoor sleepers the homeless people and the people in their apartment complexes they were evicted from here there are many problems like that happening i believe that their lympics must be stopped immediately and must be abolished it's a celebration of nationalism edges criminality and exclusionary event it's also a very near liberal ultra capitalist event where only a small percentage of people will benefit in order to make money and we will all be cut off that's why i'm against such human development. a recent us jobs report paints a grim picture of the country's unemployment rate some blame the bidens relief package for holding back any chance of an improvement despite its good intentions artie is eager to learn off has been assessing the political divisions over how to jumpstart america's economy when biden became president democrat side of relief could probably be heard from space now it was all going to be fine even a once in

a lifetime pandemic battering america's economy didn't rattle of their faith and defying all odds biden was predicted to create a whopping 1000000 new jobs in april alone and then the actual figures came in it looks like 266000. it looks like it was a bit disappointed to $66.00 but maybe i have that wrong a b. double check the bureau website here. for yes $266.00 is correct yeah and that was his face before he found out about also the surge in unemployment so expectation versus reality but his excuse well you shouldn't have got your hopes up in the 1st place we knew this wouldn't be a sprint would be a marathon quite frankly removed more rapidly than i thought we would today there's more of a looser economy is moving in the right direction just to put things into perspective

this is the sort of treatment trump was getting as president during the 1st 3 years before the pandemic sent the world's finance into a death spiral bundle and sent mainstream journalists bent over backwards to deny him the credit for the u.s. economy actually doing well trump is sitting pretty on a solid economy and he likes to take credit for it he inherited an economy that was improving it is really hard to think of things donald trump has actually done to make the economy better trump pales in comparison to recent presidents have a card in his belt atop the best quarters of the obama years so the hope was a biden landed himself in must be boiling by now not so much apparently unlike trump he's not the villain it's actually kind of funny which are going to go 266000 jobs added the economy it's a disappointment jobs are still gaining back we are still more jobs are still being added president biden is pitching his infrastructure bill as

a way to fill that jobs gap coming out of this pandemic it's challenging you know we have different conditions across the country we can see the rescue plan really doing its job we're seeing that our economy is still growing or is still recovering and you might say well there is still a pandemic and you'll be absolutely right it's not making things any. easier except covert 19 is not the only culprit keeping americans out of work the other one is biden and he's very generous stimulus checks why would you seek a job when the government is literally showering you with free money the disappointing jobs reports makes it clear that paying people not to work is dumping what should be a stronger jobs markets $1.00 step policymakers should take now is ending the $300.00 weekly supply mental unemployment benefits based on the chamber's analysis the $300.00 benefits results in approximately one in 4 recipients taking home more in employment than they earned working

a great many of kentucky ends and americans look at the situation and find they are better off financially to stay home rather than go back to work but it's not trump who put the dollar printing press into overdrive so there's no need for personal attacks let's all stay civil the biden administration speaks as if it can control all events and that is just simply not true this is a fantasy right now they're extending the unemployment benefits merely because they want to pay people to vote for them it's all political but the economic result is a huge shortage of labor for business and it and it's harming business binds using the political chaos in this country to pass twilley and trillions of spending bills that are a complete unnecessary waste of money the policies of the by an administration that we've seen just over the last 3 months have been like nothing we've ever seen and in american history just an absolutely irresponsible thing the jobs report that came out that was disappointing is just the beginning we will continue to see

shocking reports over the coming months and they're going to get worse and worse. i thought ng us here at r.t. international news returns in half an hour. seemed wrong. to me. yet to shape out. and in. equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. choose to look for common ground. americans love.

this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership of our country a large understood the bargain you get a hope and then you know rebel right that's the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. and think about the longer deeper history housings man in the united states not just that question of the american dream but the bigger question of who the dream is for.

hello and welcome to crossfire where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle remembering war on this edition of the program we explain why russians have an aversion to war contrary to what is said in the west and at the recent g 7 foreign ministers meeting russia was declared reckless and aggressive who is really reckless and aggressive. to discuss these issues and more i'm joined by my guest mark has bubbled up with us and london he's a historian analyst and author of the new book a rise rossiya return of russia to world politics and here in moscow we're joined by bob and she is political analyst and editor who knows me internet media project originally cross topples and in fact that means you can jump in anytime you want and i was appreciate his go to marcus 1st in london well here we are.
