ah hope headlines for this hour live on our tea and thousands of migrant families spend a cold and hungry night outside a heavily guarded polish border. the still trying to get inside the u. correspondence got some heartbreaking reactions from people at the scene. we have a babies on the baby's crime because it's too cold and we think we will die. we. they never opened the border. we will die. well, nobody likes to pay more time average. we have the money to do so. the mainstream media claims americans are better off on the abide and despite inflation hitting at 31 year record. but on the streets there's quite a different view. we have this guy food and do things like different ways. i don't think you're saving money. i definitely feel the and facial more so on food. i think a lot of people are out of work and they're spending their savings just to stay

alive. honestly. i go forward. he's in the australian state of victoria, agree to amend pine demik bill that's been dubbed the most dangerous in the regions . history offer an enormous public outcry. ah, well, this work week shows no signs of slowing down. it's another busy program for you today. here on out to you international i rural research. i live in oscar. well, thousands of migrants, including young children, have spent a very cold night waiting with a chance to cross the border into poland. they're facing huge obstacles, both with warsaw, deploying soldiers, armed with water cannon and tig asked right along the border fence. as we can show you entire families are roughing it out in sub 0 temperatures along the frontier or

they've been stranded on the bell russian side. now of the fence for weeks desperate to reach the e u. r t e. christina sent us this report from the see this is what the camp looks like right now, at least in part. i mean, and the, the smoke here makes it so difficult to talk. we've come here just minutes ago and already my eyes are watery. as people over there you can see are trying to make their fires going. but there's a huge problem with that. there's no firewood in those world fires. so what they're trying to do, they're trying to burn grass old grass for grass. so have a look what this isn't. some people having less luck than others like here for example, like have a look. this is what their fire looks like. i mean there's more smoke than actual heat that it produces. many people don't have roofs over their heads, like some people are lucky enough to have tense. others well are not so like again . and if we turn around and our point the camera over there, you can see you can see a massive spotlight on the polar side of the border. the already difficult night is

proving to be extra hard and you know, extra tough because you have this adding up to some natural hardships like well for example, you have cold. i feel so bad because it's too cold for us. and we have a, b, b, 's and b, this crime because it's too cold. and within the world i, we, they never all been the bordeaux. he will die when you to the health and i think we will die. many people here have to sleep on bare concrete because right now we are crossing into a, another part of the, of this count and have a look just have a look over there towards the, towards the polish board and towards the polish border dispatch. you might not be able to see clearly or, you know, because of all the smoke and because of the dark. but here are all the people who are trying to have a gover night's sleep to catch some shut eye. but they have no tents. i've his soul

salsa because the city is extremely caught. because as you see, there are so many channel that is on may vizier. they are sleeping on what ground like? no, i don't have any weird to sleep. i'm standing right now. my, my, my hand is have gone numb because this is extreme, you caught the pictures does not change as you well, military police, there's water, cannon still on guard and well, a massive spotlight shining straight in their faces. again, this could prove for all these people, especially for the hundreds of children who will have to sleep and conditions like this. how do you feel? i all hungry all fear is the all family sheldon all seek? yes. why don't you? why don't you return to be to your previous camp where you had, you know, hearts camp? no good cabinal good. why? cabinet but hours? no good. okay. he had him that rose no good. and in fact, poland no good either because they don't want to stay there. they want to move on

into europe, but so far so far they are preparing to do for the worst they are preparing that they will not be let in. and that weld the polls will not them let in that nothing will change, but there aren't returning there only moving forward. i mean, time or western powers or accusing men sculpt deliberately. funneling middle east migrants into the area and both a u. s. and e, u, and are preparing brand new sanctions. we as great to expand the scope for this century regime for barrows, we will be able to target those responsible for exploiting vulnerable migrants and for facilitating illegal border crossing into the you. i understand that you today announced the new sanctions authority that could apply to the situation in belarus. we too are preparing follow up sanctions in close coordination with the you and other partners and allies. that will continue to hold

the lucas inc. regime accountable for it's ongoing attacks on democracy, on human rights on international norms. oh battle ropes claims it's unable to stop the migrant flow and into poland because of the e. u sanctions. we discussed the situation with our guests who think the responsibility rests with brussels to solve this crisis. do ill at ease with y'all? they can only impose sanctions, but there isn't much sanction that they can impose on by rosco's. the comic links are cut or, or there are not many, anyway. oh, politically speaking, they have 4 been on the but i was aligned to land or to fly over europe own. there isn't much more that can do the sanctions. it's just the word. it's totally inefficient. it's just words. oh so in this instance, our really annoyed by this problem because as you here in germany now the player

that these people should not coming, it's the exact opposite of what mrs. snorkel setting. 2015 are shot from best. they can come, they are fleeing the chaos caused by the united states and its european allies. they are trying to escape that chaos by coming to the one corner of stability in the world. the european union, which is greeted with a notarized fence and police and units, it really says something about the state. well, we are to day that we go round the world creating kayla and havoc. and yet we want to love in $34000.00 people, manage them highway educating thought those architects and so on. we could the european union and the u. k. can absorb those numbers not difficult in state. we have a, a language being used to describe the weaponized, asian as if they are weapons being used to damage the european union. the way they talked about is an invasion and so on, so forth. rather than saying these are people trying to get a better life swaying chaos when danger seeking refuge in the european union.

america is soaring, inflation is expected a spike even further on the back of a 2 trillion dollar spending plan approved by president biden. prices are rising at the highest rating 31 years, and it's certainly hitting the pockets of consumers. although the mainstream media seems to say that everything is under control. recently deleted tweet from m s m b c. claim soaring prices are not such a bad thing. me i just am asked see others in the mid air also saying a surgeon prices are,

is an overall positive stuff under the current administration. that is a kill them off and went to the streets of new york to find out whether people agree with the white house, whether it's mel for gasoline, the prices of every day commodities are rising. american families are being squeezed now more. busy than ever, some voices in mainstream media say the solution is pretty simple. stop complaining and deal with it. and the dirty little secret here, willi, while nobody likes to pay more, on average, we have the money to do so. household savings had a record high over the pandemic. we didn't really have anywhere to go out and spend according to m. s. n, b c. host stephanie rule. household savings hit a record high. during the pandemic, we didn't have anywhere to go out and spend. we decided to put that theory to the test. people savers have gone. i'm now now i don't think so because things are more expensive or we have those var food and do things like different ways. i don't think you save money, especially way transportation and everything. i definitely feel ian facia and have more so on food. you notice the difference like in,

in proteins and just in general, softly wording. i don't know too much, not a great financial guy, but the experience of the economy is a little bit. we're an semi us, i think a lot of people are i'll work and others spending their savings just to stay alive honestly. yeah. what about all the people lost her job? well, a lot of those people are definitely spending their savings, myself included. what rules theory ignores, is that sense the pandemic? many americans have lost their jobs or seen a significant decrease in their incomes. the federal reserve is warning that inflation won't be stopping any time soon and that we should be expecting rising prices for at least the next few months. food banks across the country have never been busier. hit with demand from desperate americans who were hit by the double whammy of rising prices amid a supply chain crisis. i would say that in our county specifically, we've seen a dramatic increase in food insecurity. we've had to make a lot of really tough choices. and so one of the things that we're always trying to reiterates is that we're still in the midst of a disaster. meanwhile,

the spectre of rising taxes hangs over many americans biden promises that he will only raise taxes on the altar wealthy. however, the tax policy center says that many middle class households could be effected. republicans say that biden's build back better plan for increasing spending will make things worse, joe biden, and comma harris and the rest of the administration. they don't care, they want you not to be able to fulfill up gas in your car. they want your electricity bill to be higher. they want your heating bill to be higher. of course it doesn't impact them. according to a recent poll, 70 percent of americans are dismayed by the current economic situation, while 50 percent blame biden for soaring inflation. not surprisingly, biden's, popularity has taken a knock. now 51 percent of voters say they favor the g o. p. giving republicans the highest lead facing the mid term in decades. biden promised to rescue the country

from a crisis that he blamed on donald trump. however, over the past few months, things don't really seem to have improved with the country financially squeezed. this could mean a big turnaround when it comes to the mid terms. caleb mopping r t new york economist and also richard wolf told us that millions of americans are continuing to struggle to make ends meet because of covet. it is not on the on this representation. here's the reality. we have millions of people who have not paid rent to their landlords because they couldn't afford it, since they lost their jobs as part of the pandemic. at the same time, every family in the united states incurred special expenses because their children couldn't go to school, special expenses, because the parents of those children could not work for part of the year. let's be

clear, one half of the american working class over 80000000 people lost their jobs for at least a few weeks or as much as a year and a half. they need their savings just to stay even full. that comes at a time of plummeting. trust in the media with major us tv networks, seeing their ratings slum since last year. open at our storage, the few minutes aeronautics international. the meantime though a trans jenda american professor has spout controversy off the calling for pita files to be de stigmatized. alan walker, who teaches sociology in criminal justice at old dominion university of virginia, says it isn't necessarily immoral for adults to be sexually attracted to children with more on that, his artie contributor lauren chat. let's talk about the worrying push to d. stigmatized. pedophilia. that is there actually people out there activists who

are currently trying to normalize sexual attraction to miners. and i wanna the extremely clear that child sexual abuse is never ever ok. but having and attractions miners as long as it isn't acted on, doesn't mean the person who has those attractions is doing something wrong. this person in question is alan walker, a professor at old dominion university in virginia. and he's actually written an entire book dedicated to sympathising with what he calls, minor attracted persons, i. e, peta files. i think we believe societally that stigma against m a piece serves to protect children because we don't fully understand the differences between m a p's and sex offenders. again, we have this confusion between the attraction and the criminal behavior. now many people may not have heard of that term, minor attracted person or a map, but it's definitely not a new one. and not something that alan walker himself has come up with. the term map was actually coined by pedophile themselves, essentially as an attempt to re brand their image because the term pedophile is in

my opinion, so rightly stigmatized by most of society. and now people like alan walker, who to be clear, does not claim to be a pedophile himself. are arguing that sexual attraction to children needs to be di stigmatize, because without the stigma, apparently pet files might be more inclined to seek professional help for their attraction. but of course, there are several problems with this reasoning. the 1st being of course, that if alan walker gets his way and society stop seeing sexual attraction to children as being inherently wrong, what impetus would there be in the 1st place for a pedophile to seek help at all? and in case anyone out there was hoping that perhaps alan walker was just a one off a fringe activists who does not represent any type of mainstream thought. unfortunately, you'd be wrong. first off walker's book, a long dark shadow minor attracted people and their pursuit of dignity. it is being published by the university of california press. and not only that, but so far, despite walker's controversial statements,

his university old dominion university has stood by him. an academic community plays a valuable role in the quest for knowledge of, i'll borrow this is being willing to consider scientific and other empirical data that may involve controversial issues and perspectives. and not only that, but to make matters worse, there are entire organizations specifically non profit charity organizations that dedicate themselves to di, stigmatizing sexual attraction to children. one of these organizations is called the pro stager foundation. it's a tax exempt group that not only has interviewed alan walker, of course, because of their shared interest. but it also works sward things like abolishing sex offender registries. and legalizing the use of child sex dolls in a world where things like drag queen story our are increasingly common. it seems like there is no taboo left that people are not willing to challenge. and considering how many people now view tolerance above all else as the most important value. is it really so strange to think that there might come a day perhaps,

sooner than we all think that yes, even being a pedophile is acceptable. your code, your program continues to ronald international in just a moment. ah ah ah, ah ah, ah, ah, a ah with

when i was showing wrong when i just don't move any world the easiest to figure out this day because the advocate and engagement. it was betrayal. when so many find themselves world warren, we choose to look for common ground. oh, it is good to happy with us to day full this program, a fiercely contested pandemic bill is expected to pass through parliament in the australian stay to victoria after some last minute changes will rushed through on monday night. thousands of protesters comp outside the state, parliament venting their fury over the new bill. in response, the government watered down the legislation, reducing fines for breaching covert rules, and raising a threshold for declaring

a pandemic. or critics still view the bill as an attack on democracy. was jennifer oh, the people had a not like you know what, baxter up against the wall. like you want to write something eroded and it made it voice very clear that didn't leave with one of the toria premier. daniel andrews as a ultimately defended the bill, saying it's about keeping people safe and that it includes safe cards to prevent any abuse of power. meanwhile, a top health official and another australian state that of queensland as issued a warning to people who refused cobra shots. he said they could effectively he banished from society. oh, they cries not to get back to that lawful be miserable without being faxed that it is going to be very hard to buy into your employment. if you're not vex side, you won't be able to go any way for any time it. australia has an 83 percent coven

vaccination, right? queensland is catching up with 70 percent. but despite reaching heard, immunity targets, australia speaking, to ratchet up the pressure on the unvaccinated, by charging them for medical care. well, let's learn more about this now across live to catherine bennett, professor of epidemiology. joining us life here on our team international. a very good morning. to you, thanks so much for joining us here on the program. i wanted to ask you just straight off given how many people so far have already been vaccinated and how low the number in new daily cove and infections are compared to other countries around the world. do you think this new bill is necessary? oh, we're very keen in australia because we have very low natural immunity. we haven't had big waves in australia, thankfully that we are trying to roll out our vaccine program in a way that transition still living with the virus. now that he's in the community in larger states without saying those things way. so it's kind of managed that,

that transition well, and part of that has been about bringing forward opening up and coming out of lockdown, where we did have a victoria. but also bringing forward some larger events and things we haven't held for a long time. and focusing on the people who are already fully vaccinated to make that site the so way leveraging the safety that comes with that vaccination cover. you know, we know from the u. k. data with similar vaccines to us that you know you're only half as likely even after 6 months from vaccination, have an eviction as someone on vaccination in the community. so that was the thinking that now it's translating in different ways in different states. as the premie is lucas kind of incentivize vaccination by, you know, making it quite clear that they're going to keep some of those restrictions. those lockouts, the people who aren't yet vaccinated in place for, for some time longer. but if you are, you use the word incentivize or to apologize for jumping in, but you use the word incentivize when we've had some of these government officials,

essentially saying that people will be banished from society if they don't receive a covert injection. what would you call that incentivizing item? well, i don't think it's good public health mission message your round really. so what we're saying is they trying to make the point that you need to get vaccinated. but by leaving some sites have done that, like music. well, they set a date where we would open up. so once we hit 90 percent of the 12 and plus population fully vaccination, actually vaccination stages in the minority who aren't really vaccinated matters less. and they preferentially have probably had infections in recent times and would have some immunity that in these other states, i just drawing a very hard line and trying to encourage people to vaccinate whether you called it incentivize or not that saying, you know, this is going to be the reality, but i think there's, there is of the epidemiological argument to support keeping unvaccinated paper locked out for the long term. it just doesn't make sense because the risk

differential is, is, is very small. if you have such a small proportion of the adult population here, unvaccinated if, if the risk is so small, then then why are they clamping down like this? because as you and i have both seen the protests in australia, ultimately they're setting a precedent. some of the protests in australia, bigger than any other demonstrations i've seen anywhere in the world. are you telling me that the risk isn't that bad than, than why is the government hammering down like this? well, it's still saying and in the states that have still behind in the vaccine program, as you say, we have a strategy wide, 83 and a half the thankfully vaccinated now who was 16 and older in some sites. so way, way looking at 90 percent of people who are 12 and older vaccination, actually vaccination, so it differs state to state and this messaging that's coming around or in relation to the freedoms or not that you have. if your vaccination is actually one that ties very closely to what we're saying, both in terms of history of as

a virus in those states, some states of many to survive. most of the, the last 2 years with very few local infections at all. literally, you know, in the hundreds. so it's a different story for different parts of the country. so it's definitely not australia wide writers. it's such an in such an enormous country to it. as you say, it's such an enormous country to it's difficult to monitor all the different regions effectively. i wanted to ask you this bill should give the state government more power effectively to, to deal with a pandemic. but you think this is really the case if you think it could be a way to justify more powers, perhaps. well, that's what i think has been a concern. part of the reason they argue that i'm having a pandemic bill was going to be important was that it would allow some of the decision making process is to become more transparent actually, so that they would go before both houses of parliament that the process would include advisory committees, so that there was community engagement as well,

in the big decisions around what public health measures were appropriate, as well as engaging the public health and clinical expertise. so it was really set up initially, the argument was to open up for these things. but there was concern that when it came back that it didn't actually have some of the site automatically written in that would ensure that this was going to happen in that way. so it's really important changes are saying in the last 24 hours, i think a few changes to help achieve what they plan to achieve. but without risking giving so much of clarity to someone who, who also is the person who calls whether or not they need to consult with people. so you actually need a process that brings in the people that should be consulted in that potential pandemic. so that you've got community engagement, otherwise it's all about rules, and it's not a response that you can have in a, in a setting where community leaders should be involved as well. that's

a very interesting response or catherine bennett, a professor of epidemiology. joining us life, ronald international, thank you very much. we appreciate your time and keep americans trust in the mass. media continues to slide when that's taken a told on mainstream tv viewing figures as audio. daniel armstrong now explains, trusts, they say it takes years earn and only seconds to break and for ever to repair. for u. s means she media. those seconds have turned into months of nose diving, viewing figures amid a crisis of confidence on saturday, eights hop, c n. n report to ridicule reports of supply chain disruptions by taking a pop at average. joe, the supply chain, she exclaims, looking for milk for 2 year old look at this amazing overflowing abundance. he responds such contempt from u. s. media for the current difficulties faced by so many has led to widespread

condemnation with many americans bemoaning and out of touch media that is alienating its own audience. i don't see a thing, therefore this thing must not exist. this person calls himself a journalist. can't wait to hear a 3rd person commentary on gas prices. everything's fine in my bubble of reality. his milk is 300 percent the price it was 2 years ago, but wages have only gone to 3 percent, and inflation is outpacing growth. abundance doesn't help. also please rename your show to literally anything that doesn't have the wood reliable in it. it's false advertising. i don't think that this trust can be gained. i think that so many people feel so burned and deceived and misled by media. how do you forgive that? when you see just how chrome they are and how much they think their heels in and continue to dig their heels in to their biases and their spin and their hatred of conservative republicans of average americans. just these are problems that don't

interest them. they're interested in climate change, they're interested in race conspiracy theories. so the chasm in communication between the public and the press is widening major channels like m s, n, b, c, and c, n n. have seen that respecting prime time spots nosedive by just on the half of this whole to view a ship. but it's not just the democrat liberal media that's losing touch with its base. fox news view a ship is down a 3rd from the same period just a year earlier. now back then, the media consistently found ratings. thanks largely to donald trump, but in the biden era, that's all changed in miss him so badly. they still record on it's not gonna help a report on donald trump. we have all of these crisis is coming happening in our country right now. the job was a gold mine for liberal media. they hated him, but they needed him. i believe that they probably on record rockets in some respect while you're present. so they miss him terribly. they probably hope he runs again

in 2024 than those ratings. not so long ago buzzfeed, lynn. the hard way about dwindling audience is when the company laid off a fit of 8 staff, but not only both feed old us traditional media have faced the year on year decline . just let the 10s of thousands of media jobs being white out. the media say to announce the highest job cuts on record in 2020 this and to see which includes television and movie production, news and advertising. announce 30711 cuts. this is 201 percent higher than the 10201 coats announcing the sets in 2019. and while traditional media continues to report an agenda, rather than covering issues at the heart of society, that trust whereas ever thinner and ratings plunge ever further, perhaps by raining in their reporting by it's just a little mainstream media won't just be doing that view as a favor, but also themselves as well. and happy i rayed on the investigative journalism group project veritax has been slammed by rights groups. are the case relates to

the alleged theft of a diary belonging to a president, jo biden's, daughter, ashley. project veritax is engaged in disgraceful deceptions and reasonable observers might not consider their activities to be journalism at all, unless the government had good reason to believe that project veritas employees were directly involved in the criminal theft. at the diary it should not have subjected them to invasive searches and seizures. project veritas says it was given the diary by 2 individuals. it never published it, and in fact they gave it a police, a during the re, the f b i converse get the phone of founder james o'keefe. here, he is explaining what happened. are they confiscated my phone? they rated my apartment on my phone, were many my reporters notes. a lot of my sources on related to this story and a lot of confidential donor information to.
