12:03 pm
backed up those original governors in those regions where they impose this mandatory limited mandatory vaccination for certain groups of people. and the russian president said that he's a pain, and this is the only way to overcome this new 3rd way of a corona virus that has engulfed russia recently. now, speaking to, you know, international about international topics. he said that the times of unipolar world has long passed that the western nations must get used to the fact that there are other nations on the global stage. and proving maintain that regardless of the sanctions against russia, the country is going to keep strengthening. and in fact, he said that were there were a lot of positive things out of those st. transfer for instance, low national debt. and he also said, speaking about it that russia knows re capability are at all time high level. now. now let me put in those who gave

12:05 pm
vladimir putin also mentioned his recent summit with joe biden. he wondered out loud, what was the need for such a high profile meeting since? right after the watch and its allies are doing something that hostile situation the meeting has just taken place in geneva. i wonder why such a provocation was necessary to what is this all about? in order to emphasize that they do not respect the choices of the crime means that they do not recognize something. well, just don't recognize it. why do you also need to carry out such provocations? at least we know what we're fighting for, for our own territory for ourselves, for our future. it is not we who came to them thousands of kilometers away by water . it is they who showed up at our borders and violated our territorial waters. another interesting remark here, let me put and said that even if the russian military had sunk the british worship, this wouldn't have meant the start of the 3rd world war because he added, there is no way the west comes out. victorious out of any possible confrontation
12:06 pm

12:07 pm
let me put and was asked what kind of songs he sings when on vacation. and he answered that since he's a russian, he's music tastes are not far from other russians. he said he, every now and then hums russians and times of in soviet songs, which he finds, quote, unquote, beautiful and meaningful. the red cross says it's willing to deliver supplies of the sputnik v cove, a job to conflict zones around the world. but in order to use the russian shot, the vaccine 1st needs the approval of local authorities. that is, according to the charities president, there are some 35 conflicts owns around the world where the red cross is strengthening the health systems by working with government to combat the pandemic . of course, we're exploring the possibility of supplying those regions with vaccines. we will deliver sputnik v or any other vaccine approved by the authorities in a specific context if they're available. it's been estimated that in conflict have

low income countries, 9 out of 10 people are unlikely to get a shot this year. all regions with the highest conflict rates may not reach mass vaccination until 2023. shipment is harry and organizations have recently been highlighting the problem of global vaccine and equality. and we discussed the issue with the head of the red cross regional delegation here in moscow called me 19, has his, everybody around the world and he continues to affect life or not helium, on the organization. working mostly in a conflict, i think it's on we are discussing these partners and government ensuring the access to people in particular, complex ration in those people moving near is particularly difficult to reach. there is a global, seemingly shortage to the accent. what we hear

12:16 pm
only 38 percent say they intend to fly a canadian flag on canada day for r t and alex mileage fuel the shortages are only adding to the problems in crisis. hit lebanon. prices are suddenly high by more than 35 percent by the energy minister, leading to huge q is up a pumps and a surge and the cost of various consumer goods violent protests of rock in the country for weeks. but actually, the unrest has been building since 2019 the fuel ultimately by the currency, the valuing soaring prices and political instability. his local journalist, linda tammy, massive park hughes had become a regular side across lebanon, as people line up for hours in front of gas bumps causing heavy congestion. the country which had so far subsidized fuel medicine and wheat, has now begun rolling back its subsidy program, starting with fuel to preserve its last remaining foreign currency reserves. petrol
12:17 pm
prices have increased by more than 35 percent as a consequence, and medicine could be next. some residents say they spend the entire night in their car, only to be able to fill up $15.00 to $20.00 leaders of gas and oftentimes, not without bribing gas station employees. every day we spend hours waiting in line to fill up with petrol. the main problem is traffic and i end up making very little money. after i bought food, i don't have much money left. what can we do? the price of fuel is doubled and i can't even afford a full tank. the fuel crisis, however, doesn't only affect drivers, it has also made its way to the countries beleaguered electricity grid. several states services were forced to suspend their services on monday, for lack of power or equipment. residence in be rude, have been getting less than 4 hours of electricity per day, and private generators are struggling to keep up. we are in
12:18 pm
a big crisis. we can't find medicines, is williams. i've been looking for medicine for 4 days and still can find it. so, i mean, the main problem we're facing is that we're not getting enough medicines for a set them all. for instance, one of the most basic drugs isn't available. treatment for chronic diseases are hard to get to. we're also out of baby milk. how can infants sleep without milk? the situation is really bad. it was angry. residents have been protesting the deteriorating economic conditions in the past week. blocking highways with burning tires in beirut, and other areas, partially paralyzing the country. many are wondering how worse the situation could possibly get as lebanon crumbles, to the outgoing interior minister again warned of a deterioration in the security situation. the crisis in which lebanon has been stuck for a year and a half does not see. i'm standing here in the dark with flashlights and candles, and sadly, this is the reality for many in lebanon, many who are growing,
12:19 pm
desperate by the day, with never ending crises, one can only wonder what's next, and one can only wonder how worse, the situation in lebanon can get the spanish government wants to allow people over the age of 16 to freely change their gender without any medical diagnosis or hormone therapy. according to the draft law children age between 14 and 16 would need parental permission or a court ruling in case of a dispute. while the age of from the age of 12, if it would only be possible to legally switch agenda through the courts. my colleague, you didn't neil for the issue up for debate in spain. the idea is to involve the court. below the age of 16, the court in conjunction with the parents, the child concerned, takes into account of all the evidence of that particular individual case and reaches an informed not prejudicial decision. i think that the system which has
12:20 pm
been proposed in spain is ideal. the focus of the beale in spain, but in any other country should be to protect these, you know, keep everyone from discrimination, abuse, homophobia, trunk before. yeah. because these are the worst things. can you really say that a 14 year old is mature enough to make such a life altering decision why they need to rush forward with this? surely the completely sensible thing to do is wait just a few more years until you're of a more auto frame of mind. and you're sure my understanding is that there will be a traditional mechanism below set. an age setting able 16, i understand will be the decision of the young adult consent and it's a young adult. let's be clear. but again, if we're talking about a month and democratic country, you know, for example, there was serious concerns that parents were pushing
12:21 pm
a child one way or another. the social services explain that couldn't be inappropriate case for me. personally, i don't think they are old enough for sure. we have to support them in the they feel like that definitely they should leave as they prefer. but changing your documents, you know, it's a big step also because his drop of bill, again, you want to let you do that only, you know, with their decision. but then they want the court say, you know, to be involved if you want to go back. so it makes no sense, you should be free to go back without the court permission as an example. it should be undertaken on the basis of medical and social advice. bringing in the parents were concerned children. i'm yes, to inappropriate cases, especially a young gauge. the judiciary no body is saying, let's just change gender for jolly good luck. nobody saying let's all go to the children court. the stephanie says, you know, no one takes this without, you know, a light heart or to do this to take this type of decision. but it is also known
12:22 pm
that many times people, they also go back and they think, you know, they maybe made the wrong decision and they decide to de transition. the law doesn't focus on physically changing gender or going through hormone treatment. it's essentially a piece of paper. so why is it such a big problem? do you think one of the major problems of that being dropped and sort of way in my opinion, this is very important because for me, con, can't think the sex doesn't mean anything. and unfortunately, he does, can you people feel that gender identity relates to them? is the most of them. it's the most of the parents that professional buyers and, and, and appropriate circumstances to do dish re 5 transitions in the way i wished to transition. i'm a no competition with children. i support children who have to go through this process. government organizations in germany, you have a note to close that facebook pages by the end of the year. the countries data
12:23 pm
protection watchdog made the call. so i think the social media giants noncompliance with local privacy laws, it is currently not possible to run a facebook page in a way that complies with data protection regulations given the continuum breaches of personal data protection. this must be dealt with urgently. if you read a page, i strongly recommend that you shut it down by the end of the year on the car to you purposely. laws, an organization can only transfer personal data to a country outside of the block. if the countries deem to quote, adequately protect the information, the u. s. is not on that approved list, but all facebook user data passes through the country anyway. in an email, the company said it always takes data protection seriously. we updated our page and says, supplement and clarify the responsibility of facebook and website operators at the end of 2019 questions related to the transparency of data process. and we're taking
12:24 pm
into consideration, i just spoke with our internet lo, expert and social media, selected a co and who things are breaching privacy laws is nothing new for facebook is nothing to do about about the inability almost of facebook boil, for example, to comply with. you previously low, it is just impossible for them to do. but so far, you governments have been turning a blind eye, a g d p. r is, is based on, on a single way of handling personal data across the board. in the united states. on the other hand, the, the laws of privacy are, are left largely to individual states to legislation. there is no kind of broad view taken is to privacy law. in fact, the reason really a right to privacy in the united states it's just is just goes perhaps against
