5:00 am
success is successful. well as these people, if they are successful, maybe we could get a little bit closer to a little bit closer to the fence over here like some. let's go and maybe i could fill the fence the action at the security checkpoint because it seemed like people got a breather that and well and they, they're trying to dismantle the fans again, the barbed wire fence. so yes, you can see by the way, i look at the concrete look at the ground. it is all wet. this is how much pepper spray and tear gas is being used is being used against the pro, against the migrants. here it is all what it's like. it's like it's been pouring all night. this is how when it is accepted, is not water. it wasn't raining today, so it, it, so all of it is just tear gas and purpose break. so what people, i mean the, the devotion of these people is they are relentless. i have to tell you why they, they keep, they keep helping dancing the police with rocks. and there's more and more water
5:01 am
cannon, you know, arriving to the scene. and it's clear that the polar security forces, they are beating up their presence. by the minute i have to say the helicopter is over there. the helicopters. this is the overseeing events here at the very, at the border crossing very closely. they're getting a perfect birds. i view something that the migrants here, they do not have, they just have to of their eyes and that's it. so. so all of the action it seems, is now condensed at where the migrant campaign used to be. and these people, they are showered, they're absolutely showered with pepper spray and tear gas, which it well can not be pleasant in any central form. so it seems we're ego, he's one of those men. we got some comments coming in from him in his, in just recent hours. now the, the bell, russian lead a look a shank, i was saying that he doesn't want the border situation to escalate into any conflict that, that, apparently of that. now, minsky is working to send home 4000 migrants camping on his border with poland. as
5:02 am
we understand, look, a shank over said active work is underway in this area. busy to convince people, please return home. but lucas shanker says to migrant, don't want to go back home. why do you think they don't want to go back home considering what they're facing? like now? it's a good question, but, and it's the one that i've asked to plenty of people here to plenty of migrants. what they've, what they've been telling me is that basically they don't, many of them simply do not have a home to return to. they don't have a place to call home, or rather they have a place that can be called home that they don't want to because the conditions that maybe not as maybe they're not as bad as they are here. but you know, they're hoping to get into europe and germany and to improve their living conditions significantly because many of them do not have like running water at home. they do not have electricity. so they have to live in, well, they have to live in poverty. they have to live in shacks and they have been trying
5:03 am
to look for better life. many people have relatives in europe, but the problem is those are not close. relatives not might not, not like parents will, you know, children, but rather more distant ones, like aunts, uncles, cousins, and so on and so forth. so it is, i, they, either, they aren't, you know, on legible either they do are not entitled, not entitled for a union program for a re unification for the you reunification with their families. but they want to go that they want to reunite, or the process of this for unification is very protracted answer. it does not turn it in. so they how they're trying to, you know, circumvent the filter. they're trying to circumvent the official procedure and get into europe like this. like again, thousands, tens of thousands of migrants have been doing just using different countries like greece, again, spain, italy, and so on. so this is what they are trying to do here by coming through by the
5:04 am
roost. maybe maybe not the maybe not the welcoming that they have expected here. many of them want to reunite with that and also close since yesterday with tool to our, to a young fellow who told us wanted to be a doctor. and he spent several foreign languages, including for example, a bit of german and it quite a bit of english. so. so there's a lot of people who want that because who wants to go, they want to go to europe because they feel like they've had a gloss ceiling in their own country. so, so they, they feel like they can realize their potential in europe as well. so there are some people like that and it looks like it looks like there are, this is, this is that there are people who are ready to fight who are ready to fight for their right to with will i see a lot of evil there. i had pay to go and i realize it's just me, you're trying to, as you say, eager people, people there are just well experiencing bouts of desperation as we continue to show
5:05 am
life pitches of people being a dallas with water cannons and potentially pepper spray as well. iga before i let you go alone, we'll catch up with you soon. bye. wanted to ask you. it doesn't seem to be a really big battle. russian security presence on your side there of the board of the fellow russian side. of course we can see all the polish security i have you spoken to the fellow russian security guards there about the situation? what, what is that, what, what are they thinking? do you know what the, what they're saying? well basically they're trying to not get involved basically in the camp or there were doing, they were trying to, they were trying to maintain at least some security there. but have a look. i just want to show you something the, the migrants here they have, they have dismantled a part of the fence and road they are going in. it looks like they're cheering. 6 1 of their rhone, that is mabel about the fence so they are covering it with some. 2 plastic, probably to for, to, to use it as a shield and use it to protect themselves from tear gas. but the main action is
5:06 am
going on over there. now, there's a big crowd of people that are rushing through what may be a bit of a breach, a bit of a breach in the, in the border, a bit of a breach, a in the fence into bob, why offense, they are being sprayed relentlessly. right now, just have a look at that and more people are trying to pull ran as a group, as a group of people that trying to, you know, to dismantle the barbed wire fence. it was one of the main. so now they're running away because they do this. all of them do not feel like being pepper sprayed and tear gassed one more time. so this is what it has be like that they. so there's a group of people who are constantly, you know, doing trouble who are constantly troubling and you know, making the life and making the polish border guards work on, you know, keep them busy. and there's another group and most sizable one which you know on slowest, which of the brushes which rushes into the fence. well,
5:07 am
you can't see anything right now. i can't see anything that's going on at the fence because how much your gas in the air is right now. it is all. it is all clouded. it seems they have retreated from now, but again, they keep, they keep doing what they're doing. they keep the are making this i think that's, i think i know what it is. it looks like a makeshift shield which they may use against the border security forces, again to protect themselves from tear gas. and if they are they to unsuccessful. i, i'm afraid the anxiety of the fence of this little fancy no, no, not the barbed wire fence. the entirety of that the entirety of it might, it might be gone very soon and more people will beyond if they of course not. 2 because they again, apologize for the language here. tension is and detention and tempers here they fly . very, very high. a look at them cheering. look at them cheering. now they're testing. they're looking if sturdy enough that is, if it's gonna hold up,
5:08 am
if it's gonna hold the powerful, pray look at how excited they are. this is a big development for them and they'll, if they go look at that. 1 just look at that. i don't think that the migrant, any government, the people, they are actually taking it out, it holler the barricades and using them as defense, shields, or a way to, to block the barbed wire. it's, i mean shocking pictures really, especially when you think about these people here, or these people, almost all of them coming from was orange. and apparently that not phased by what they're experiencing right here along the polish feller russian border. all this pepper spray and on the water cannons and freezing temperatures, and these people are still coming forward. it makes you think either is there anything that's actually going to stop them? they, they seem determined to get into europe. well, the, the pepper spray and the tear gas, it may very well stop them as it stopped us getting any closer here right now. but they are, it'll be really interesting. but,
5:09 am
but they're going to do next with this piece of with this little makes of steel that they have that they have created for themselves. and will these layers of plastic be enough to withhold and to you know, to be strong and sturdy enough and not, you know, tear ah, from the, from the, from the power from the sheer power of the spray coming from my, the coming from war to canon so i'm trying to get her, i'm just trying to keep blunting to my left because i'm for okay. i think they're moving in. i think they're testing. i think they're testing out there. they're new tactic. maybe we could get a better, a better look from over here. they're moving. so let's show what's going on with the field there. so they're moving slowly, but surely towards the fence. it is only a matter of very little time until they get sprayed and they are, it seems like their strategy is working. but there's only one person. oh my oh, that was brutal. it, it did not work at all so. oh,
5:10 am
okay. so that didn't work. we will move back because it doesn't seem like there's too much action going on, apart from the, apart from the helicopter on them. if you pass to the right to the helicopter, it seemed, it seems it is taking quite a bit of an interest. it seems quite a bit of an interest in what's going on in what's going on there with the makes you will make sure field and all so so this is, this is what they're doing. so honda, if you plan to the, if you plan to that side where they're tear gassing right now, you can see there's more security vehicles and they have lit up. they have lit up their sirens, so the sirens, but you know, they have their security lights. so that's what's going on. so, so far, so far, the migrants here, it looks like they are trying to figure out and find ways and find ways over,
5:11 am
you know, protecting themselves better from the tactics used by the it, it goes back on, hold you back and forth again. and again, when she plays a garage down off, we're going to stay with you. we're going to come back to my showing how we're going to maintain our signals or to stand by v would for us right now, are these equal to down off remaining, right? they're just out of short along that fairly russian polish border that you can see the migrants trying to make a run for the friends again and incomes the, the t, a gas. these are some of the latest pitches. now we're showing you here on our t international, but as you are seeing in the pitches and with eco, mcdonald's reports are the tick asked the water cannons. it's about len las assault really on the my van's. but that being said them high trends are also assaulting the polish gods as well. the throwing rocks that this assembling parts of the barricade that they took a pot of stone. busy wall, or at least part of it would loving rocks at the police, who, strangely enough, would loving the rocks back to him. so he's just going to go back and forth for the foreseeable future. we're getting no reports right now. nothing out of war. so
5:12 am
nothing from the polish leadership right out of what might happen. but we understand that in minutes, the bell russian leadership has fledged and promised to provide more humanitarian aid for these people along the border. so this isn't a stretch out for some time to come. we can assure you of that right here on our team international, and we'll continue walk toltz with eagles channel in the coming minutes here on your tuesday program for the meantime. shifting gears to down under the authorities in the australian state or victoria, they're expected to get sweeping new powers. this under a fiercely contested pandemic bill despite last minute changes and enormous public fury. christina, for on monday night at thousands of protesters come outside the state parliament in melbourne, venting their anger over the draft legislation. in response, the government did water it down a bit in a bid to get the bill through the upper house, or the key concessions,
5:13 am
all that fines for cobra rule breakers have been lowered. the threshold for declaring a pandemic has been raised and the right to protest is now protected, and this follows weeks of enormous public and rest. while the victoria premier has defended the bill saying it's all about keeping people safe, and that includes safeguards to prevent abuse of power. meanwhile, a top health official in another australian state of queensland has issued a warning to those who refused the covert injections. he says they could effectively be banished from society. oh, they cries not to get back side lawful the miserable without being faxed that it was going to be very hard to maintain your employment. if you're not vex side, you won't be able to go anyway for any anytime and australia has an 83 percent covered vaccination rate, while queensland is catching up with 70 percent. but despite reaching international herd, immunity targets australia still ratcheting up the pressure on the unvaccinated.
5:14 am
earlier i asked the australian professor of epidemiology, katherine bennett, if a new bill to victoria is the right response to the pandemic. 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 processes to become more transparent actually. but there was concern that when it came back that it didn't actually have some of the oversight automatically written in that would ensure that this was going to happen in that way. so it's really important. the changes were saying in the last 24 hours, i think a key changes to help achieve what they plan to achieve. but without risking giving so much authority to someone who, who also is the person who calls whether or not they need to consult with paypal. so what we're saying is they trying to make the point that you need to get vaccinated, said just drawing a very hard line and trying to encourage people to vaccinate. but i think this,
5:15 am
they recent, the epidemiological argument to support keeping unvaccinated people 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 who are on vaccination americans trust and the mass media has slumped to as low as levels in 2016. and that's taking a toll on mainstream tv networks. with cnn, seeing as prime time view animal planet, by almost 50 percent artes, daniel armstrong has more on the story trust. they say it takes years earn and only seconds to break and for ever to repair. for us means she media though seconds have turned into months of nose diving viewing figures amid a crisis of confidence. on saturday 8th hop, see an ann report to ridicule reports of supply chain disruptions by taking a pop at average. joe, the supply chain, she exclaimed,
5:16 am
looking for milk for 2 year old look at this amazing overflowing abundance. he responds such contempt from us 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 or so please rename your show to literally anything that doesn't have the word reliable in it. it's false advertising. so the chasm in communication between the public and the press is widening major channels like m s, n, b, c,
5:17 am
and c, n n. have seen their respective prime time spot nosedive by just under half of this whole tool viewership. but it's not just the democrat liberal media that's losing touch with its base. fox news viewership 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 a biden era that's all changed. not so long ago, buzzfeed learned the hard way about dwindling audiences when the company laid off a 3rd of its staff. but not only both feed old u. s. traditional media have faced a year on year decline. just let the 10s of thousands of media jobs being white out, the media. so to announce the highest job cuts on record in 2020 this industry, which includes television and movie production, news and advertising, and as $30711.00 cuts. this is 201 percent higher than the 10201 cuts announcing the sector in 2019. and while traditional media continues to report an agenda,
5:18 am
rather than covering issues at the heart of society, that trust whereas ever thinner and rating plunge ever further, perhaps by raining in their reporting by his just a little mainstream media won't just be doing their view as a favor but also themselves as well. we heard from journalist or chadwick more. he thinks as a growing rift between what americans want to see on their t. v. screens and what they're actually being shown. i don't think that this trust can be gained. i think that so many people feel so burned and deceived, 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. it just needs a problem that don't interest them. they're interested in climate change, they're interested in race conspiracy theories. and they can help themselves report on that. i think that's also responsible for the, the tank ratings and the ever increasing divide between the people who deliver the
5:19 am
news and the people they hope consume it. and the average people who. ready are just tuning out and they're not interested in what these people up to say. they don't speak to them an f b i rayed on the investigative journalism group project veritas has been slammed by various rights groups. the case relates to the alleged theft of a diary belonging to 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 veritax employees were directly involved in the criminal theft of the diary 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 instead of handed the diary to police. now during the raid the f, b, i comas go to the phone of co founder james or keith. here he is explaining what
5:20 am
happened i, they confiscated my song, they rated my apartment on my song, were many my reporters notes. a lot of my sources on related to this story and a lot of confidential donor information to our news organization. but commenting on the re to the f. b, i said only the bas agents quote performed law enforcement activity and quote. meantime, bureau agents also search the homes of 2 of oh keeps associates and journalists. chris hedges says it's all part of the biden administration's bid to pressure the opposition part of a broader pattern by dividing administration to really run roughshod over legal norms against anybody they consider to be part of the opposition project. very to us, of course, targeting liberal left lane groups and this gets into the whole subpoena power in the committee that is within the congress that's been set up by the democratic
5:21 am
party leadership to investigate the mob assault on january 6th. so unfortunately, it's not an isolated in stir incident, and it's one that's extremely disturbing should be disturbing, but with a partisan divide here, any kind of assault, including censoring the contents of 100 biden's laptop, remember they locked the new york post, which broke that story out of its own twitter account called it disinformation, although it turns out that everything on that laptop was not this information, even the biden's didn't and neither was real. so this is just one more example of the polarization that exists within the country and how the democratic party is quite willing to use questionable tactics in order to silence trump supporters and, and people they consider part of the opposition. a transgender american professor has spot controversy after calling for peter files to be de stigmatized.
5:22 am
i'll in walker, who teaches sociology and criminal justice at old dominion university in virginia, says it isn't necessarily immoral for adults to be sexually attracted to children. artist contributor lauren china gives us her opinion on that. 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 want to be 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
5:23 am
protect children because we don't fully understand the differences between m. 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 stigmatized 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?
5:24 am
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 is 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 procedure foundation. it's a tax exam group that not only has interviewed alan walker, of course, because of their shared interest. but it also works toward things like abolishing
5:25 am
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. america is a soaring, inflation is expected, a spike, even though this is on the back of a true trillion dollar spending fine approved by president biden. a price is a rising of the highest rate in 31 years and it's hit the pockets of old consumers, though apparently not everyone is worried though, the mainstream media things. everything is under control. a recently deleted tweet from emma. somebody see, even claim, but soaring price is not such a bad thing. so people took their social media to voice their off ridge
5:26 am
people not being able to afford groceries as a goofing bullet antics. all of you more more ones telling us more money coming out of our pocket is a good thing. no reason will ever make a reasonable person to say inflation is a good thing. amazon dessy believes inflation is a good saying that i will wallace and curses disagree. m s i b c, followed up with another tweet saying that deleted one miss represented the article it was linking to with the idea that soaring costs are an overall positive under biden, at least to certainly gain traction in the mainstream media. however, that's not how it is on the streets of new york. that's where you'll find oddities . caleb shopping speaking to the people, whether it's mel for gasoline, the prices of everyday commodities are rising. american families are being squeezed now more than ever. some voices in mainstream media, se the solution is pretty simple. stop complaining and deal with it. and the dirty
5:27 am
little secret here, willi, well, nobody likes to pay more. on average, we have the money to do sol, 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 up now. now i don't think so because things are more expensive. we have to buy food and do things like different ways. i don't think you save money, especially way transportation and everything. i definitely philly and facia and have more so on food. you noticed a difference like in proteins and just in general, softly wording. i don't know too much, not a great financial guy, but the extern says the economy is a little bit worried. so me, us, i think a lot of people are out of work or spending their savings just to stay alive honestly. yeah. what about all the people lost their job? a lot of those people are definitely spending their savings, myself included. what rules theory ignores, is that sense the pandemic?
5:28 am
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 are 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 specter of rising taxes hangs over many americans biden promises that he will only raise taxes on the ultra will say. however, the tax policy center says that many middle class households could be effective republican, say that biden's build back better plan for increasing spending will make things worse, joe biden, and comma le harris and the rest of the administration. they don't care,
5:29 am
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 turn around when it comes to the mid terms. caleb martin, r t, new york. we spoke to television on radio host, steve multiple, he things that mainstream networks in america are excessively loyal to president
5:30 am
biden and his administration. and at the end of the day have just lost touch with reality. stephanie rule on emma's nbc, one of their anchors. she was talking about how, guess what, this inflation stuff. it's not as it's really not that bad people could afford it. the dirty. 2 little secret is people could afford it, they're saving or they're working. more wages are up. well, you know what? this is as out of touch as couldn't b. b people cannot afford it. what people she could afford it, our circle could afford the people she knows could afford it. but of course, even the by the administration or admitting that it's a problem even come ela harris was able to understand that it's a problem for her to be so. so in another galaxy and out of touch and say dirty little secret is inflations, okay, cuz we could afford it now. no, she, i never heard anything so ridiculous in my life. every.
