a former olympic weightlifter tells me that female athletes are being told to stay quiet about any issues with transgender athletes competing with other women. we have. to say. all. very well welcome to you from all of us here at r.t. international live from moscow 5001 pm on monday. while the european leaders have a turn their noses up at a u.s. proposal to waive a patient rights to vaccines splits about the move appeared during the e.u. summit this weekend with german chancellor merkel saying it would not solve the ongoing shortage of shots around the world. for me it is for me questioning patient

protection here is not the path to lead us to more vaccines and that's a vaccines i have made it clear that i do not believe that the waving of peyton's is the 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 wave with the paintings back scenes 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 is 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 who suggested that the idea of wavering vaccine peyton's could be a good idea opiate he flip flopped on this quite a few times of the weekend so he's here to be determined where he 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 from a very 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 accelerates and you didn't say oh you europeans have moral leadership that the us 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 mako on though had his own criticism specifically for the u.s. when it comes to the export ban on covert vaccines and all essential ingredients needed by european produces to make the vaccine here drop them is what he demanded . them i call it very clearly only. united states to win the export bans not only

on vaccines but on components of those vaccines that are necessary for production we've killed back today saying it can't produce a vaccine in europe because components a block from the united states lift the export bads. just about this in context the e.u. has exported around 200000000 doses of the facts seems around the world at the same turn the white house has pretty much put a blanket ban on any could be vaccines to leaving it she was and that 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 not pushing forward its own agenda is if it's the one we needing to charge all the way through the cove it 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 albeit a covert war that america won glossing over what's really happened.

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 because he says discontent among health workers had already been growing for quite some time. but 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 is stupid frustration has been building up over several decades and they have already expressed that by going out onto the streets and demonstrating that 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's arm and 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 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 developments or prospects nearly 2 thirds consider their job as thankless and while the 92 percent believe their health crisis is showing the role and duties of nurses must be reviewed of course the issue of salaries is a big concern well the 75 percent of working nurses and less than the national average with enormous 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 wages and

i think again as your thorough piece of alternately failed medical workers. we were called heroes during the 1st wave but now the demanding that we do 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 of nice to fight it and only the government fail to provide the medical staff with the necessary percentage of equipment and does 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 him explain that to those who have 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 in new clashes with palestinian

protesters at a holy site in jerusalem. the confrontation comes as israelis mark 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 and the new will event widely perceived as a provocative display of jewish germany over the contested city of clashes near the old city have already led to one alarming incident i should warn you you may find the following video disturbing of a jewish driver of a car rammed into a palestinian protested near the old city a demonstrator was 3 and getting up and limping away 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 his passengers with rocks before and the police when did arrive at the scene. well the latest violence

follows days of tensions over the possible eviction of palestinians from a land claimed by jewish settlers israel says the seizures are necessary for that of security or clashes over the past few days have left almost 300 palestinians injured here some scenes from jerusalem on sunday. tensions have reach maximum points here outside jerusalem as you can see the israeli soldiers are marching forward and they're ready to apply beefy force of the loafing israeli police have surged forward to arrest a 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 stun dates coming in our direction there are water bottles being thrown there are class bottles being thrown rocks being thrown back it really is a game of people watching forward and then retreating and inserting forward until the israeli police are able to clear the area we are looking at the 3rd consecutive nights of clashes here in tripoli selim 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 reinforcements has been bolted and now the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has stated he will not allow strict elements to riot interview slim and he'll make sure that we're supposed 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 rightly 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 forced evictions are some 70 palestinians from their homes in the arab israeli neighborhood of share 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 court has gone out from her months to actually for people to come to the streets and provoke the situation the fact that the palestinian president mahmoud abbas in different people spoke to palestinian elections that was supposed to happen later this month has also added to tensions and he blames the israelis on that so far on this violence one israeli youngster has been killed and one palestinian youngster

has been killed so they throwing over barricades tensions soaring high at the moment the way it looks at a far from over policy or r t jerusalem meanwhile in this footage you can see the 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 have been launched from the west buying sparking fires which burned for days the antiwar coalition's richard berke says the recent events marked the biggest spiking tensions between the 2 sides in. netanyahu is hoping that somehow repression we're going to have our 'd of the problem that he's facing with all the corruption charges and so forth and somehow get him back into office but there's something much bigger that's point on here well i think that they understand and this is where the current 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 there and it really is a reaction to the increasing and intensified oppression and repression of the palestinians for. years ilands of former olympic weightlifter tracy lambrakis claims female athletes are being told to be quiet of any issues they have about transgender people participating in a women's competitions we never 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 that human rights courts we've been dissing carriage every step of the way even to this day is 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 there's no way of the woman making compete against a transient athlete who's had to been a sense of taste of strength for that long even with having to lower it they lowered it now is still male 18 times the amount the average female now there's a reason why ends thought we do have male and female charities and by allowing this to happen it's just blaring 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 anyone who transitions from female to male is allowed to compete with other males without any restrictions for those who

transition from male to female face certain conditions 1st their gender status has to be confirmed as female that hasn't been changed for at least 4 years and the level of testosterone has to be below 10 for at least 12 months to trace your number x. again and things the rules should be evolving as the sport changes we need more research just. looking into the facts and making sure that everyone is on the same pay whether or not the rules of say that's what needs to be discussed these roles were i think developed in 2013 or 2013 when our 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 more transgendered 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 when because the this is what i'm up against and i think it if

there is the best scene starts or have women dropping out of sports which is not what we want we want to increase in women playing sport. when it comes to relations with russia the e.u. seems to be sending out rather mixed signals slovakia's foreign minister says it's time for cooperation with moscow to be fixed the czech prime minister has suggested that all member states should be expelling at least one russian diplomat messiah try and get a clearer picture on this my colleague neil harvey talked about it with saskia to. if you're trying to understand policy towards russia in recent days good luck because for a block his premise is unity and cooperation that's the real splintering here on monday foreign minister came out in essentially 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 reap rebuild news that the kremlin welcomes but on the other hand another camp has emerged and it's 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 weapon 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 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 state and he was actually accused of treason so like i said good luck trying to get to the bottom. what it what what it is that the e.u. wants from russia is it dialogue or is it a deterioration of ties individual states understandably i think at times looking after their individual interests 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 we need to talk about what russia's position is because russia has made to 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 the 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. is changing now we have a strong partnership this became especially clear after the g. 7 summit will discuss russia with which john the country relations are not improving what we just heard from ferraro 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 campaign you have to ask is it doing it for itself or is it doing it at someone else's behest. a protest has been held outside tokyo's national olympic stadium against the summer's games which are due to be held in this city is less than 3 months before the event gets underway following last year's postponement due to the pandemic or 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 cancelled as already collected more than 200000 signatures. since being watched on just friday comes as japan has just extended a state of emergency in tokyo and 3 other areas until at least the end of the month amid a surge in cases. a recent poll shows almost 60 percent of those quiz that 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 so we hit the streets to gauge

reaction. but 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 criminal therea 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 an event. a recent us jobs report paints a grim picture of the country's unemployment rate some have blamed biden's relief package for holding back any chance of an improvement despite its good intentions

are to use eagle has done off has been assessing the political divisions on 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 she wanted 66000. it looks like it was a big disappointment at $266.00 but maybe i have it wrong of me double check the bure website we're going to search for yes to $66.00 is correct yeah and that was his face before he found out about also the surge in unemployment so expectation versus reality biden's excuse well you shouldn't have got your hopes up

in the 1st place we knew this would be a sprint would be a marathon quite frankly removing more rapidly than i thought we would today there's more of a looser economy is moving to 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 not because i mean his bail to top 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 home to structure 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 consume good american 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 report makes it clear that paying people not to work is dumping of 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 unemployment the lee earned working a great many of kentucky and send 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 by ends using the political chaos in this country to pass twilley and trillions of spending bills that are a completely unnecessary waste of money the policies of the biden ministration 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 are the top stories for this hour here on this monday on r.t. international thank you for sharing your time with us we're back in half an hour perhaps we will see you then. katter's financial survival guide i don't buy a i because she's. almost 5. i saw some of my ex from the future trucker was kaiser. shaped.
