9:03 pm
into friday evening. a number more than 6 people were hearing, have been injured in a knife attack in the streets of the southern german city, a votes book. the e u has failed to come out of talks with a united position on kick, starting direct relations with russia. that is despite its 2 leading members, france and germany opening to open to a reset and wanting a summit. sanctions against moscow were also discussed with more details. here's our children, ski confirmation that sanctions against russia by the you will not be prolonged. the sanctions have been in place since around 2014 following the referendum in crimea. they normally action in last for about 6 months. those sanctions will continue. according to the council president, show michelle on areas such as energy, the financial and industries,
9:04 pm
as well as personal sanctions against a number of russian individuals. well, the announcement just came out, was off. the leaders signed a joint declaration on a number of issues, including looking at relations with russia in which they suggested to the e u commission that they wanted the commission to look at the possibility of further sanctions against russia. now it did seem as if the e u was putting on the united front, but already cracks are appearing. we know that some countries like france and germany, had gone into this summit saying what they really wanted was summit with russia to open dialogue. but that was shut down by other countries including poland, who said that they didn't want that to take place as such. there isn't any mention of a stomach in that communicate. just the idea of looking at relations with russia in the future until america, german chancellor still thinks that dialogue is the way forward to the song that
9:05 pm
the so i don't see these talks as an idea of giving the russian president any kind of reward. i would like to remind all of us that even during the cold war there was always dialect and channels of communication are open and it's better if the commission and the council president have a channel of communication open with russia instead of individual countries going it alone because after all, we would like to have a coordinated and concerted view that is express towards russia. i believe there is no drummer in the fact that there is no consensus on arranging the summit soon. it is more important to maintain this agenda on russia, tide, and preserve unity as division, makes us wico despite their comments, the commission precedent. ursula vaughan delane is still suggesting that europe is putting on a united front. we are right now in a negative spiral, and we need to brace for further downturn. so we agreed to push back. when russia
9:06 pm
targets the european union on what we stands for when it violates human rights. to constrain russia, when it attempts to undermine our interests. and we will engage russia when it is in our interest to do so to achieve our goals. for example, if we talk about climate change, or if we talk about public health, we'll russia for its part had said it was open to the idea of a summit and it also believes that dialogue is the way forward. russia also saying that he's committed to improving relations with the european block. however, the idea of moving that summit off the table as a possible way food was described as not being particularly helpful, mind the spokes person for the russian foreign ministry. the russian federation regret that you are a structural evade professional dialect with moscow on the topics that caused them
9:07 pm
. concern for relations between russia and the you have been frosty for some time. diplomats on both sides have been expelled from various countries. and of course, those sanctions have been in place for a long time as well as now that being the cool for potential new sanctions against russia. all leaders may have signed that declaration saying that they know essentially looking for summit with russia in the near future. but it is clear that some countries may decide now to go alone and do their own thing. particularly with chancellor anglo merkel saying that for her dialogue was important. and even without summit, they were of the format that could be perceived and explored. brussels based political analysts. professor john bri small, says conflicts with russia also ends up hurting the you should also look at the boozer. you're saying we are not going to over the nation we unless they give up on
9:08 pm
me or they give backing out do thing. which means that they want to have good relation until this guy coming. he said they will the end of the guy, and i'm just never so pretty good as be on believe disorders to the lack of diplomacy and also on the boat. it's nothing. it's the music. i don't think there's any going to make rational behind because it would be much better for them to a good question. my call you see my cost is more important to maintain the unity of your but nevertheless enter into a relationship between these i wanted to, in fact, it just means that you have these making all of them. that's what it means. british holiday makers have face a growing threat of spending their summer at home. europe, with germany at the forefront, is considering a 2 week quarantine for tourists from the country amid fears. the delta vary and there is spreading fast. but some in the you are not happy as our cheese shut, edwards dusty explains well, jose for brits abroad may be in doubt this summer despite the u. k. jesse yesterday,
9:09 pm
announcing more countries added to the case, greenlee stops. now as the power lies totally with europe and quite fearful that the whole continent is almost treading on thin ice with the rise of the delta variant and they're blaming the bread for it. as a result, that questioning, contemplating and considering and forcing this mandatory, quarantined in for any british taurus, movement them off in our country. if you come from great britain, you have to go into quarantine. that's not the case in every european country. and that's what i would like to see. we must be vigilant because the much talked about delta variance is coming, which spreads much more rapidly than the other variance and affects people who are not the vaccinate did or who only have had one dose. for me, one of the issues of discussion is to be really taken coordinate to decisions in terms of opening borders to 3rd countries. so france and germany are leading that
9:10 pm
person to try and punish britain for the spread of the dell to variant. and that also doing all the e u member states to follow suit as well, but it is raising eyebrows because yes, the indian delta baron is much more prevalent here in the united kingdom, but it's don't like it doesn't exist in those countries as well. in fact, the indian varian accounts around 70 percent of cases in some parts of the region in france, and many hotspots, like greece, spain and portugal. they still have issues themselves with the delta v r, and yet they are still welcoming brits into the country. now portugal vo says it will do anything that the e u decides wildes. countries like spain, hence it's even prepare for a bus stop with the blog if it tries to deny brits entry. hopefully we can begin to receive british tourists and we don't have any restrictions and tories from the u. k. the moment they are the ones who are placing restrictions on people when they return. so at a fast balance, it may seem like it makes sense to try and impose this quarantine for british
9:11 pm
tourists. however, when we cross checks, things like the testing regime here in the u. k. with other countries, it's totally in comparable. apparently the youth has testing around 10 times more people than in germany. therefore, inevitably, more people will be recorded as infected much less so than in other countries that are not testing as much. now these would be the you k testing program is of course the vaccination rollout as well, which is doing incredibly well at this point. around 43000000 people have received the last dose of the vaccination with the government. still maintaining the vaccine rollout program is the ticket out of the pandemic. currently, it is down to individual e u. member states to decide on the rules governing the boarders. we are moving its speed through vaccination program to help us cub this latest fair. and we will continue to have discussions with our european partners on the reopening of
9:12 pm
international travel. but we're very confident that our vaccination program is providing a good way forward. so pressure on europe to kickstart their economy once again and of course tourism is very much the heart of it. but there's also a pressure on the european union to have a united front. and that could see the brits are going to have this. i'm a counselor again the chair of the institute of travel and tourism told us that he expects britain to fight for its citizens. right to holiday abroad is very disappointing. germany, poland, and italy have unilaterally imposed quarantine restrictions. it is disappointing in the life of the, the e u announcement of your digital koby passport, which is going to start on the 1st of july, which will enable any of the 27 countries and of any of the $27.00 countries to travel with complete freedom and impunity from one country to another. now clearly when no part of the e u,
9:13 pm
but i would very much hope that our government would be given the fact that we've, we've got the best vaccination roll out, that our government would be pressing the you to say ok for our citizens that are, that are double job, please, please, please, can we have the same? same recognition facility to travel further, 751 unmarked graves have been found at the sight of a former catholic residential school in canada. just weeks after a smaller similar discovery. rock the country cabinet delorme, the chief of the local 1st nations indigenous group says all indications are that the graves also contain children. it's overwhelming by the amount of gravesites found. and it's very emotional and mentally draining on the fact that these are one meter by one meter found on mark grave sites, indicating that they weren't full adults. yet,
9:14 pm
there was headstones of who was there at one time. and in 1960, the roman catholic church leads of this area, had the responsibility to keep those headstones there and they didn't. and so removing headstones is a crime today in canada. we're just going to see how that law affects something that happened in 1960. so at that point we will welcome in outside help, but at this time we are controlling the situation. and we are telling the story from our lands. find comes weeks after the remains of $215.00 children were found at a similar residential school in british columbia. a grim reminder of the years of discrimination and abuse. indigenous communities suffered in canada. religious authorities took children from their families to these institutions with the aim of assimilating them. 8 8
9:15 pm
the. 8 8 do you mean pensioned fear did you have was it wasn't you today that was going to be the target the victim. you know, you weren't going to have to suffer any form of humiliation. he learned to cry anymore. he did get harder. and yet you learn to shut down. oh, the, i couldn't talk a word of english. i talked cree and i was abused for that hit and made to try to talk english. i lost my language. they threatened us with a strapping. you spoke it within a year, i lost all of it. i. 8 used to him, i ill drunk occurring at night. i asked the principal to take him to the hospital. he didn't after about 2 weeks, my brother was in so much pain. he was going out of his mind. i pleaded with the
9:16 pm
principal for days to take him to the doctor. ah, they started to sexually take advantage of me and abuse me. not one, not too many, many people for a very long time until i was 16. i held everything in and didn't tell anybody for 20 years. the canadian prime minister called the discoveries a shameful reminder of systemic racism, encouraging his countrymen to learn from past mistakes. however, some countries are now pushing the un to investigate crimes against indigenous people in the country when she went to another oval. well, we hope that the canadian government could move forward instead of upholding surface justice and making a verbal apology. they should take more effective measures to find out the truth investigates who is responsible, implement compensation and issue policies to affectively protect the rights of indigenous people. cadmus,
9:17 pm
delorme once again says such residential schools have one goal to brainwash his people. this is genocide. my, my ancestors had a beautiful way of life here. we accepted and agreed to a treaty relationship with the crown. we did not ask for all of this to happen for 5 generation residential school had one goal. and that was to brainwash my people to stop in our life of how we had it for many generations to accept a life that we didn't know based on the canadian way at one time. and so now today as a leader where the colonizing and we're strengthening ourself and genocide is where you try to eliminate and mentally we were, they tried to eliminate us. and today we are still resilient. we're still here,
9:18 pm
and we are getting stronger one day at a time. now the u. s. media has become the world's leads to trusted and has seen a sharp fall in viewers and readers according to a study and by britons oxford university. the poll of almost a 100000 people around the globe found that finland has left to the top spot with 2 in 3, they're believing their medium. by contrast, researchers said that coverage of the pandemic by us outlets contributed to less than 30 percent. now trusting them, and that collapse marks a massive drop in just a few years. just 4 years ago, almost 4 and 10 americans still had trust in their news organizations, journalist and r t host. a chris hedges says that us media now puts pleasing its audience above telling the truth. the commercial model of the us media is to cater to a specific demographic with the rise of the internet and all turn it is sources
9:19 pm
. these traditional news outlets could no longer reach a broad audience because they didn't have a monopoly. and therefore they decided to go after a particular demographic. and now what you've done is pit demographic against demographic, whether it's m s, nbc fox news, cnn. they've become partisan catering to their particular demographic and what it wants to hear, but often at the expense of the truth, the oxford university report confirms that americans are deeply divided on each media outlet almost as many distrust cnn as trust the left leaning network. the figures are almost identical for its rival, m s, and b c. and fox news suffers one of the worst trust ratings of all chris hedges. again says their policies are only making matters worse. it's going to get worse because the commercial model, and these are commercial enterprises depends on,
9:20 pm
not only catering to that a particular demographic, but also demonizing, the other demographic. while these media outlets are designed to polarize the public, because commercially, they're designed to loop back to feedback to their viewers, or listeners or readers what it is they want to hear their own proclivities, their own prejudices. and that's the commercial model it's been created. it's kind of, you know, hate versus hate. whether that's sean hannity, one side, or rachel, matto and the other. they all do the same thing. but it's not journalism. it's just, you know, burlesque or vaudeville masquerading, his journalism. as the last us troops pack up and prepared to leave afghanistan after 20 years of war, joe biden has hosted the country's president and his former. pho, i've got fans. forces are struggling to repel taliban advances as its partnership
9:21 pm
with the u. s. into a new faith. and you know, our troops maybe leaving the support graph can stand, is not in need of support and maintenance of their helping maintain their military as well as economic and political support. well, the gradual pullouts already seen the taliban advanced in multiple directions, seizing more swaths of the land. the militants now control a 3rd of the country, including area surrounding the capital and border crossing in the north. the group has reportedly also captured condition and weapons left by retreating forces and authorities have resorted to utilizing volunteers to form anti taliban militias. the un, special representative for afghanistan has warned america's rapid pace of withdrawal risks upsetting the country's political balance. the mid april announcement, the ball international troops will be withdrawn in the coming months, sent a seismic tremor through the afghan political system and society at large. the
9:22 pm
withdrawal decision was expected, but its speed with the majority of troops now already withdrawn, was not more than 50 of afghanistan's $370.00 districts have fallen since the beginning of may. most jest tricks have been that have been taken. surround provincial capitals suggesting that the taliban are positioning themselves to try and take these capitals once foreign forces are fully withdrawn. back when donald trump was still the u. s. a commander in chief washington set the 1st of may 2021. as the deadline to bring the troops home, that statement came against the backdrop of talks between the afghan government and the taliban in doha. when joe biden took over, he postponed the complete pull out, eventually, resetting it to september, the 11th this year. but the pentagon now says that timeframe may be flexible as the
9:23 pm
us defense secretary continues to monitor the situation. as we said from the very beginning, while there is a schedule, we're mindful that that schedule could fluctuate and changes as conditions change too. so i can't speak to any specific recommendations he's making about the taliban advances. but i can tell you that, that he's looking at the situation every day with a fresh set of eyes to see if we know the, the pace that we're setting is the appropriate pace for the kinds of capabilities that we think we need to. again conduct a safe and orderly retrograde independent consultant on u. s. foreign policy, robert name and says the withdrawal of the troops is inevitable. the american people were done with this war a long time ago. there is no question that the us is going to withdraw. in the long run, what difference is the made if they withdraw the us troops now or next month,
9:24 pm
or the month after that? if postponing the inevitable, you can tell that have ambitions outside of afghanistan, or which they've never indicated, or at the harbor of keita or similar groups that have ambitions outside of afghanistan, which they did before 2001. now they agreed in the agreement, the trump administration, that they wouldn't harbor we'll see if they fall through it now. but even if they don't, or even if they've fall through it, partially, the assumption should not be that keeping us troops in afghanistan must be the default unless there's 0 threat from afghanistan. the right question is, what's the correct policy to minimize risk? we can't keep us troops everywhere where there might be
9:25 pm
a potential threat the united states some day. and it's not necessarily the most effective strategy. giving jobs to his nearest and dearest god, donald trump, into hot water. during his presidency. however, it seems, the binded ministration may not be much better despite claims to the contrary by the white house or to poly boy comments messages. that's true. why? i like nepotism. i wasn't a fan of the guy, but at least donald trump was on the knows about it. seriously, remember all of these new stories? the president was turning to his family to fill out his presidential staff administration, announcing crockett. trump will have a new role as a presidential advisor, the president, son in law, jared questioner was given access to some of the country's most sensitive secrets. donald trump's golf caddy is the white house director of social media. now his long time body guard is the director of oval office operation areas with the folks when
9:26 pm
it turns out, things aren't much different in the bite and administration just like the previous administration. current whitehouse stoffers seem to have few scruples about hiring their own progeny. take, for example, this guy, steve rich, jesse, he's a former obama advisor and an ex lobbyist who is now the counselor to the president, a pretty big job invited administration. presumably that's why the prolific were chessy has secured a government job, but no one, no 2. but 3 of his kids, j. j rich se, who graduated from college last year in 2020 has been hired as a special assistant in the office of legislative affairs in january shannon re chassis that the rejecting his daughter became the debt p t associate director of the office of the social secretary at the white house, that's one hell of a title on don. your chassis that steve or jesse's oldest son, he's
9:27 pm
a senior advisor in the office of the under secretary of state for arms control and international security. that isn't enough, steve or chevy has a problem. jackie, i won't chest hasn't been hired by the boys in administration. he is an uber successful washington lobbyists, wonder why and jeff just secured amazon in the client. critics say the super rich etc. brothers pose a threat to biden, suppose it ethical image, but there a check. he's just the most glaring and the most ridiculous example of nepotism in the white house. kathy russell, the director of presidential personnel has gone unset a great example by at the very least of not stopping the hiring of her own daughter . sarah, don't alone on the white house national security council don't on graduated from college in 2019. so that's another plumb junior roles that's gone to
9:28 pm
a staff as kid and get this sarah, don't alons, uncle and mom kathy russell's brother in law, mike, don't alone. also happens to be a senior. ready advisor to joe biden, and this isn't the only saw key operating in the white house who's saying jen has a gold 70 who's been a senior advisor at the health and human services department since march. wait, wait, this is good. according to the washington post, a white house official reportedly said that all those hired had adequate experience and were well qualified presumably. so a lot of other recent college graduates who's mommies and daddies don't work for joe biden. the well qualified spiel is such b. s that is even the man that was in charge of ethics on the far right. obama walter sha tweeted, i'm sorry. i know some folks don't like hearing any criticism of him,
9:29 pm
but this really sucks. i'm disgusted. a lot of us work hard to t. m off to restore ethics to government, and believe the promises. this is a real to us and government ethics and all that. despite the fact that joe biden used his 1st post election interview to declare that no one in our family and our extended family will be involved in any government undertaking or any foreign policy untrue to his wad, joe biden is actually the best behaved in his administration. he hasn't actually hired his own kids, but that probably was because by didn't crack brought me to a place that i i'd never had been to before. i see people wouldn't believe that there's a few minutes. i'll be back in about 30 minutes with another full fresh look at your news. this is our to international, there with me,
9:30 pm
ah, russia, china relation to strong and getting deeper. we are told this is dangerous for the washington lead world. is it? why are moscow in beijing moving closer together? is it miscalculations of the washington consensus? have anything to do with it? is the china russia a liar? made it america? i still think the cars right on police report and all have in december 2020 a group of anti finishes. fill out a film crew access for 3 months people, organization. it's an idea that must be opposed that channel out the gate route. they make their faces but they can say what they believe in, we believe and help our community. we believe.
