7:01 am
americans are better off under joe biden, despite inflation hitting a 31 year record. we have to buy food and do things like different ways. i don't think you save money. i definitely feel ian facia and have more so on food. i think a lot of people are out of work that are spending their savings just to stay alive honestly. right. ah, and a regional government in australia is own course to get sweeping new powers. and upon demik bill, despite the last ditch amendments on the public out crime, ah oh, mid day, unless melanie 10 pm and said in the in 3 in the afternoon here in moscow, welcome to the news hour on our t. we begin with breaking news from eastern europe. poland has fired water come in until gauss now said attempts to hold back
7:02 am
a surge of migrants trying to make it across the border from belarus, warsaw essays. it's expecting this situation to continue like this for potentially months. indeed, a spokesperson for the polish border guard service has said it's troops will use weapons, without hesitation, if necessary. let's look at what's been playing out on the frontier over the past few hours. ah. i basically what the migrants are doing. they are throwing whatever rubbish. they can find as well as logs at the police,
7:03 am
as well as rocks and they are responding in turn by the use of by the use of pepper spray. we are trying to stay at safe distance. i look over there, they are throwing rocks and they're trying to dismantle that part of the barbed wire. now again, you can see them using pepper sprayed military, great stuff. now they have brought a water cannon. i think they, they're bringing to water can. okay, we have to move out so far right now it looks like the polls. well, they're doing an amazing job, but well, protecting their borders. they have been saying that they do realize they couldn't . they cannot survive indefinitely in the conditions that in the conditions that they have been put and that they have found themselves and it is very called leg. i mean, about a, excuse me, about a half of this migrant camp is basically, is located on a patch of concrete gets very, very cold. not this is the sound and you can see more tear gas more tear gas canisters being used against the migrants. here as a group,
7:04 am
a group of people still throwing rocks at a military police dispatch. and immediately they get sprayed with water. canada gets sprayed with tear gas. i mean it's difficult to breathe where we are here. i have no idea how they still managed to stay there. imagine the imagine the desire, the motivation, these people have to do something to do to do something like that. even knowing that so there's another stance that there's another fence that they will have to breach and somehow deal with, you know, very well with equipped, fully equipped, military police, you know, regimen military police units. i cancel fresh water and there are people using it right now to wash their faces from the tear gas. the aunt backing down rioted here . i wanted like my grants here, the on backing down. and i, we can hear the approach of a military helicopter. it is a polish military helicopter. this has been used a as surveillance on behalf of the polish side. so, you know, getting a birds eye view on the, you know,
7:05 am
and the location of all the migrants. and also it is used as a scare tactic. it looks like part of a fence, part of offense is almost down so. so the polish, the polish border patrol, the polish military police, they have been they have been manning that section of the fence more extensively than others. and there's also another water cannon. now helping out from over there, you can see, you know, arching an arch in a spray of tear gas from a badly checkpoint where the boarded check point is. reinforcements have arrived to help out these, these several squads. the several squads of the polish military police. we are hearing right now, more announcements through loudspeakers. it's the same as yesterday. they are saying attention, attention. the police informs the, are that breaking and you know, crumbling any border infrastructure is illegal and that they will be criminally pursued that they will face criminal charges for doing so. if of course they get on
7:06 am
the polar side of the border, people are now pelting rocks. i can see that they are no pelting rocks at the, at the security forces, guarding the check point. so now the entirety of this section of the border is a war zone of the west accuses belarus of deliberately falling migrants from the middle east into the area. i claim belarus denies both the u. s. and e. you are preparing new sanctions targeting ment we as lead to expand the scope of the sanctions 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 a new sanctions authority that could apply to the situation in beller. it's, we too are preparing follow up sanctions in close coordination with you and other
7:07 am
partners and allies that will continue to hold the lucas and regime accountable for it's ongoing attacks on democracy on human rights on international norms for belarus, for its pert earlier said that continued sanctions slumped upon earlier sanctions means it's simply no longer prepared to stop people seeking to cross b e u border. let's get the thoughts and all this from russia. i'm list and or 3rd, martin mccauley. martin, you're very welcome. back. poland has said it will use weapons against the migrants, without hesitation, if necessary, considering we're talking about hungry and freezing people, women and children included in that kind of rhetoric only deepening the crisis. it is but pulling this quite determined not to allow the by guns to break through the fences that they've erected because if they do that, they know that they'll be thousands, you will follow them. so therefore,
7:08 am
they will not allow and some of actually got through and various places interposed it. and then they want to go to germany. they don't want stay in poland. they want to go to germany. so poland is quite determined to hold. ah, these migrants at bay and use all message that possible, they can't, they can't cause use light bullets. we can't start shooting dead. so they may use plastic goods and so on. and other nasty thing says to hold the back and to ensure that they don't actually reach offenses were to be built. and that poland is hoping that other nations will come and help them reach new said some true advisory. and they who oppose hope because they will also get some financial aid so as to create a barrier offence a closely oh area. the home frontage will go loose because
7:09 am
this will not stop. i couldn't look ahead go. in fact, cozy aces here. and he's been underestimated with regard to him as not. if you look at the literature, it described to institute with an incompetent. he's the opposite. he's been very institute and he's and he believes is winning this battle. because the west now is put in a position where it is denying my grandson, living with children, the human rights they want to move because of the difficult situation in their own countries. surf ramon point of view present. lucas, younger, but he's a, he's willing, can i put a point to it? i think the general response here, martin, if you look back to the 2015 refugee crisis european countries, germany mainly were accepting migrants, hundreds of thousands of them. no,
7:10 am
many in the e you said it's a hybrid war. what's going on today on the border and migrants are being used as a political weapon. interesting. that that language, that juxtaposition there. yes, and this is because, ah, that is a refugee crisis, not only in our eastern europe and now in the poli speller was in border y'all to find it in the balkans. i also find it coming from into greece and italy and so on . and also the, that many crises now in sub saharan africa and the theories and mo, mo, my guns will come from that cheerfully. european states, especially these european states. say, we can take these my guns now because i, we have small societies. we have small countries and so on, that they could only bud was too high, and they were dilute, mostly hungry. that takes a very strong view, and victor about music prime minister argues that honeys,
7:11 am
ethnic and cultural identity is being threatened by muslim immigrants and by others who don't share that culture for the religion. and therefore, and the czech republic is also pretty strong. slovenia also used as language to that from east and the slab nations plus hungary believe that they have to really ensure that their own cultural and ethnic identities, the not diluted. because if it's not hundreds of thousands or millions of immigrants come in, plan or they mixed to the country changes and so on. so they are now. so they are now the strongest in the you arguing that this by grunge try, crisis has to be resolved by sending these people back, making sure that they don't actually come. because i'm hungry and check republic would argue that under america, when she allowed him 800 over 800000 immigrants from syria and the middle east,
7:12 am
that there was a catastrophic mistake because it signaled to everyone in the middle east and north africa. that if you work hard enough and you go and you stay long enough, you will be allowed into the european union. it created an optimistic view among micros, and they blame her. oh, many ways this crisis. all right, martin, thank you very much for your time on your thoughts. all was great. the have you in the program? russia analyst and author martin mccauley. thank you. a war of words has broken night between russia and the u. s. over a military activity in space, it comes after washington accused moscow of putting the international space station in danger, by conducting an anti satellite weapons test. russia claims that the u. s. was being hypocritical because it's done more in space than could be considered a threat. well, let's discuss this with our correspondent donal quarter,
7:13 am
who has been at closely following the story, could to see a don at mudslinging plenty. all that's as well. what exactly has the russian defense ministry actually been saying here, right, you and, and, well, there's been and still is a lot of speculation as to what actually caused this debris generating event that took place on monday. but washington was very quick, unsurprisingly to point the finger at russia and the russian defense ministry has reacted just recently and actually called that. and an example poxy the russian defense ministry considers hypocritical statements by representatives of the state department and the pentagon. he tried to accused the russian federation of crating risks for astronauts of the international space station in ton, the pentagon, both before these official steps and even more so after is actively developing and testing the latest strike combat weapons of various types in orbit without any notification done then ticks through why we're seeing this war of words escalating
7:14 am
like this while union or whatever this debris generating event was. it was definitely enough for the crew on board the international space station to take safety measures in case of a collision. but luckily nothing was damaged, nobody was hurt. but almost immediately after the u. s. state department accused rush of launching a direct ascent missile and to destroy a satellite in orbit actually, thereby allegedly causing this this debris to put the i assess in danger. and that was something that washington called dangerous and irresponsible behavior. let's take a listen. what they said, russian federation recklessly conducted a destructive satellite test of a direct ascent at anti satellite missile against one of its own satellites. rushes dangerous and irresponsible behavior jeopardizes the long term sustainability of our outer space. and clearly demonstrates that russia's claims of opposing the weapons and weapon ization of space are disingenuous and hypocritical. as russia's
7:15 am
defense ministry said though, i mean the u. s. conduct very similar tests in orbit of on its own part. so where's the outcry about that? and we still don't know exactly what caused this specific debris generating event. so it really seems like it might be a little bit too early for pointing the thick the finger at one party or another. don, thanks very much triggers to that sir. a correspondent dollar quarter america's soaring inflation is expected to spike further on the back of a 2 trillion dollar spending plant approved by president biden. prices arising at their highest rate in 31 years on its heading, people hard in their pockets. not every one is worried though much of the u. s. media thinks everything's under control. a recently deleted tweet from s and m. s, and b c. a even claim soaring prices are not such a bad thing that prompted people to take the social media and offer the response to
7:16 am
that suggestion. people not being able to afford groceries is a good thing. well, and takes all of you more, more on selling 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 thing that i will. wallison curse is disagree. no. and this nbc followed up with a nother tweet saying that deleted one misrepresented the article it was linking to . but the idea that soaring costs are an overall good thing under president biden at least, has gained traction in the medium. caleb martin asked new yorkers if they agree, whether it's mel for gasoline, the prices of every day commodities are rising. american families are being squeezed now more 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,
7:17 am
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 house, 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 of no, no, 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 feel ian facia and have more on food. you notice the difference like in, in proteins and just in general? softly worrying. i don't know too much. not a great financial guy, but extern says the economy is a little bit. we're an semi us, i think a lot of people are out of work are spending their savings just to stay alive honestly. yeah. what about on the be lost their job? 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
7:18 am
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 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 effective. 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,
7:19 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 promise 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 mauppin, r t new york go c v on radio host, steve miles per belize, the networks the spike, the evidence will remain excessively loyal to president biden on that and other
7:20 am
issues. stephanie rule on emma's nbc, one of their anchors. she was talking about how deaths, what misinformation, stuff. it's not as it's really not that bad people could afford it. the dirty little secret is people could afford it. they're saving or they're working more wages or up. well, you know what, this is as out of touch as could be. people cannot afford it, what people she could afford it, her circle could afford the people she knows could afford it. but of course, even the, by that ministration or admitting that it's a problem even come l a higher is, is 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 can't afford it now. no, she, i, i never heard anything so ridiculous in my life. every anchor, who considers themselves a journalist and almost every news person. and they all have opinions. they all
7:21 am
give opinions. they all come from the lap they and that's not journalism, that's talk, show host, and it all comes at a time of plummeting trust in the mainstream media with u. s. tv networks. seeing their rating slumped dramatically since last year. we've got that story shortly. ah, this was a bargain that was may 2025 years ago under clinton. as a matter of fact, they've brought china into the world trade organization, the w t o. this was a quid pro quo that we're going to essentially give america a huge break on flat screen tv. but within 2045 years we're going to bankrupt the country and that's what's happening now.
7:22 am
oh, when i was showing ra a out the scene because the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will to part we choose to look so common ground. join me every thursday on the alex salmon show. when i was speaking the guess of the world politics sport business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm. oh, let's start back in australia where authorities in the state of victoria are expected to get sweeping new powers under
7:23 am
a fiercely contested pandemic bill. despite the last minute changes on public fury, i oh, the draft legislation in response that government water that done essentially in a bid to get that bill through the opera house, the key concessions are that fines for cobra rule breakers helping lord the threshold for declaring upon demick has been raised on the right to protest his protected. that's all follows. weeks of public unrest. on the victoria premier house defended the bill, saying it's about quote, keeping people safe and not include safeguards to prevent abuse of power. while a top health official in another australian state at queensland has issued a warning to people who refused co but shelter. he said vaccine hesitant citizens could effectively be banished from society. oh, they cries,
7:24 am
not give back side lawful. the miserable without being faxed that it is going to be very hard to maintain your employment. if you're not vaccinated, you won't be able to go any way for any time. it won't be able to go anywhere. well actually it has an 83 percent covered vaccination rates, while queensland is also high at 70 percent. but the spied reaching international heard immunity targets, australia seeking to rot, shit up the pressure and the on vaccinated. earlier we as professor of epidemiology, catherine bennett, who's in the victoria state capital of melbourne. if the new builder is the right response to the pandemic. ha, that 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. 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 changes. we're
7:25 am
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. um, what way 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, 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 unvaccinated americans trust in the most media slumped to its lowest level since 2016, it's taking a toll on mainstream tv networks with cnn. seeing its prime time viewer numbers plummet by almost half over the past year. our teeth on the armstrong picks up the
7:26 am
story trust. they say it takes years earn and only seconds to break and for ever to repair. for us mean she media though seconds have turned into months of nose diving viewing figures. amid a crisis of confidence on saturday eight's hop, see an ann 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 wide spread 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 is fine in my bubble of reality.
7:27 am
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, and c, n n. have seen their respective prime time spot nosedive by just under half of their total 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 buzzfeed old
7:28 am
u. s. traditional media have faced the year on year decline. just let the 10s of thousands of media jobs being white out. the media soto announce the highest job cuts on record in 2020. this industry, which includes television and movie production, news, and advertising. and as 30711 cuts, this is 201 percent higher than the 10201 cuts announcing the sector in 2019. and while traditional media continues to report on 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 is just a little mainstream. media won't just be doing their view as a favor, but also themselves as well. and we spoke to journalists, chadwick, moore. he thinks there's a growing ref between what americans want to see and their tv screens and what they're actually being sure. 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
7:29 am
forgive that? when you see just how they are and how much they think their heels in and continue to dig their heels and 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. and they can help themselves report on that. i think that's also responsible for the, the tank and ratings and the ever increasing divide between the people who deliver the news and the people who consume it. and the average people who. ready are just tuning out and they're not interested in what these people have to say. they don't speak to them just enough time to tell you the couch reports next. stay close. ah
7:30 am
ah hi, i'm max kaiser with stacy herbert and this is the kaiser report. and now sometimes it's just too easy. i got to say, stacy, well, you know what, if you thought the highest inflation numbers and 31 years was bad? well, wait until you see the producer price pipeline. now you know how in the world of energy, everybody concerns themselves with leaks from oil pipelines are natural gas pipelines. and this is a risk while nobody was looking at the producer price pipeline. because coming through that pipeline are a lot of.
