6:01 am
why does not solve the problem of gangs and bite australia and new zealand? the good afternoon. welcome. just gone, 2 o'clock here. moscow watching arte international. i, while the global came, pandemic does continue. america has a different priority. joe biden, 9 signing a massive $700000000000.00 military budget for the upcoming year, even by america's own estimates. that is a 100 times more than the cost of vaccinating the entire planet would against the f . as more it's bigger than it's bad as an ever before. america's new military budget, $777700000000.00. so vast, it board doesn't monstrous. and it's still not enough. say the people who passed it are nations facing many threats right now. just read the paper every day china
6:02 am
russia ran in yet that budget was actually pro provided by the white house. was a cut, pretty dramatic code if you look at it as in john, adjusted for inflation, it is remarkable. these lawmakers they'll, they'll sit there and argue for weeks, months about maternity leave, or building roads or bridges or walls. but the better part of a trillion dollars on a war machine back $88.00 for 11 against passed. and the next day that will come to work and to congress and, and they'll wonder where the heck all their money went. i also find it amusing that senator mansion indicates his worry about the deficit after voting justice week for a military budget of $778000000000.04 times greater than build back better over 10 years and $25000000000.00 more than the president requested $778000000000.00. i mean $700000000.00 is
6:03 am
a decimal here. a decimal. where rounding up and down by, by hundreds of millions, 16 times greater than russia's military budget, greater than the next 11 highest military budgets put together. a sudden that the human mind can barely comprehend. somewhat of the extra billions going towards the secretary shall take appropriate action to increase the ease of low emission initial free and net 0 initial energy technologies in the operations programs project and activities of the department provided these is cost effective on the life cycle of the nest and there's also a new ranko position in the u. s. military, according to the n d, a draft bill. and that is gender advisor. so troops can get help if they feel like changing genders. we can only guess how many millions that's going to cost. and of course, none of this would be possible without china and russia because of whom the pentagon
6:04 am
argued it needed more money. ginger sandy, we firmly opposed the u. s. slipping negative content concerning china or making an issue out of china for political manipulation is not implement negative content and articles in the act that target china and dummy's, chinese interests or hurt overall bilateral ties and cooperation and important areas. while the l g b t, q plus community may let out a sigh of relief, people that have been incarcerated. guantanamo bay innocence included without trial or justice for decades, will just have to wait a little longer. now one thing they didn't find any money for is as a field doesn't plane tickets to send guantanamo inmates home or to court. unfortunately, he section 1032 of the act continues to borrow the use of funds to transfer a guantanamo bay. detainees to the custody or effect of control of certain foreign countries. and section 1033 of the act bars,
6:05 am
the use of funds to transfer guantanamo bay detainees into the united states unless certain conditions are met. it would cost an estimated $7000000000.00 to vaccinate billions. those who still can't get the vaccine. one percent of america's military budget, just one percent, to potentially hold the development of new strains and variance of coven. but no gender advise us in the electric cars for the pentagon. that's the priority. the more the pentagon spends on insanity, the more military contractors make money, isn't we're not at war with anybody. and why we need a military budget. the, his bigger than the next over 10 nations combined. i mean that's, that's nonsense. now, if you just ended that military industrial compet use ended this mass of military state and let people spend their own money as they see fit. you'd see people spending their money to help people far more effectively than you as
6:06 am
a i. d ever does. to provide health care for people overseas and not use that might hurt people the way the military does. ah, now the popular messaging at telegraph might seem be restricted in germany, hybrid claims, it's not doing enough to combat extremist content and came with conspiracy theories . but it wasn't all that long ago that german media rounded on russia. the trying similar restrictions on the app is moscow has been quick to point act when in 2018 russian court imposed restrictions on the telegram ap and prevented sending messages, almost every german media outlets reported about that so called violation of the freedom of speech in russia but now that political campaign is heating up in germany, guess what? they are targeting with restrictions. telegram. okay, when i get more niss now talk to our correspondent eagle. she donna joins us in the studio this afternoon. hello g eagle. just run through then how?
6:07 am
exactly telegram is speaking, the german government here. well, it is all rather simple and to see telegram in a way it revolutionized messaging and it brought a lot of good to the world to the world and it has changed to things. and it has changed the ways we will text each other, i should say. but of course, a telegram being one of the least regulated apps for messaging. there's also another side for this metal. it has harbor that has become a haven for all sorts of fringe groups. and while some of those groups might be rather innocent, others are not others or rather harmful. there are all sorts of extremists who are well organizing their there are all sorts of anti vax or movements which, well they kind of get all the information, all the misinformation i should say from this messenger. they feed each other with this misinformation and they kind of exist in this little bubble of delusion. that telegram basically allows them, allows them to exist there and to coordinate their protests, actions, demonstrations and so on and so forth. and basically dragons involve more people
6:08 am
into the glove cove. it misinformation. and this is exactly the problem that germany has with telegram that it allows this sort of people to just exist and well to festa there. and so right now they accusing telegram of hate speech. they are looking for will legal ways to somehow well influence the company and to have the company or if the conte influence had been to take it down altogether. and of course the german government here we can all understand that because well indeed, such people. i mean, harmful come full, well harmful societies, they should not be allowed to just freely exist on any platform. but basically this is where the hypocrisy bit comes in. because when russia back in 2018, try to do the exactly same thing. the exact same thing to block telegram because they were terrorists and extremists plotting and you know, coordinating their actions there. nobody wanted to listen to russian. they weren't having any of that. germany was outraged. all of europe was outraged. this was that
6:09 am
rhetoric the blocking of telegram as yet another sound development concerning freedom of speech pluralism and the right to privacy in russia. so this is the sort of headlines, this is the sort of will rhetoric we had back in 2018. well, compared to what germany is saying right now, we must quickly create a legal option for switching telegram. so has to be much reaction them from the german public over this? well absolutely, because right now those politicians, those german politicians who are calling for a blockage of telegram for to band the app, they are getting a bit of their own medicine. so now the public and their world politics, political rivals, they kind of fight back and they accuse them of violating free speech like here. for example, you can see one of the headlines, for example, that there are, there are very, very heated debates over well targeting telegram also. it's also said that bush as
6:10 am
of hatred for example, but his just have a listen to some of the more vocal well claims that germany is trampling on the freedom of speech. it does not fit in with a free constitutional state to simply switch off digital platforms. this proposal fits into totalitarian regimes but not into our constitutional order. switching off an entire app is a form of state media censorship that we do not want in germany. so there you have it, and it's not the 1st case recently of germany being accused of, well, you know, not being that dedicated to the freedom of speech. principal r t, 's sister channel in german deutsch. it has been banned in germany, even though it had every legal right to exist than to well to appear on the airwaves. germany justified the decision by saying that the channel should have, should have received a german broadcasting license. even though there are no legal grounds to do that, we're being told by experts it received a broadcasting license and serbia,
6:11 am
which is good enough for the entire receipt of the e u. but germany wasn't having that. and so there have been some accusations of well, but germany is not as dedicated to the freedom of speech principal as it may be, wants to appear show. okay, thanks for that. you go, that was the r t go, she don off that now an indigenous leader in new zealand as a strayer is using his country as a dumping ground for convicts causing a surge of gang related crimes. in oakland national married authority chairman matthew to khaki is adamant that the policy is damaging the spirit of friendship between the 2 countries. it is not good enough. zealand is becoming a penal colony for australia and just supporting your problem. why does not solve the problem of gangs in both australia and new zealand? it is not good enough just to say we're going to stick a whole lot of people and applying on a government child applying and seen them back to new zealand. that is not the
6:12 am
spirit of friendship, and that you would expect between 2 neighbors. whether straightly as migration, actor, say, convent should be deported to their countries of birth, even if they've lived in stray, live for their entire lives. and that applies to those sentence to at least a year in prison. the cup at the last couple of years to have seen hundreds of people sent back to new zealand. when you say linda's, make up one of the largest migrant groups entering strayer many arrive at a young age to grow up there and stay well into adulthood. however, the strategies immigration minister does say, the government routinely has to remove foreign nationals from a range of countries due to serious offenses to khaki though, says it needs to work with new zealand to find a much better solution. now i also did that australian citizens, you know, it's easy just to deport the problem away. and australians want exactly what we want. we want safe communities. we do not want to say drugs being sold to our
6:13 am
children. we are sick and tired of saying gun violence on our streets. one possible solution is a joint task force to address a couple of different things. and even though our police forces like to share information, doctorate intelligence at the moment, it would be good to see if we could just increase and including and beastie and joint resources. that means also having a look at information and intelligence to find out where these drug supplies that works, establishing themselves across se, asia, even into the pacific being let's do that job together as australia and new sealants and that, and say explorer ah, now ship parents have more same what their children taught in schools. well, according to nicole, hannah jones, they shouldn't. she's the founder of the controversial $1619.00 project which aims to refrain u. s. history in terms of race and her fees are divisive. i don't really
6:14 am
understand this idea that parents should decide what's being taught. i'm not a professional educator. i don't have a degree in social studies or science. we send our children to school because we want them to be taught by people who have an expertise in the subject area. and that is not my job. as the parents, i have every right to ensure my child isn't being taught lies. despite what nicole 100 jones says, how can this be promoted? could share any one else to say parents don't get a say in our children's education. her position is faulty and should be listened to on must have a platform removed, sorry, but parents must be involved. come on, you pesky parents, just let her indoctrinate your kids in peace. while hannah jones launched the 1619 project but the new york times 2 years ago, his goal is to highlight the legacy of slavery and the contributions of black americans throughout the us. history and content from the project has been included
6:15 am
in school curricula in at least 5 us states to we discuss the issue with legal homeless, jennifer braden de master and also with political activists. anthony rogers rust, fortunately in america right now, the political faction is kind of taking over everything else including education. i think that's some of the concern here because really what you're trying to do is refrain retrain, children's mind. and that's, that could lead in and we're seeing this now the rise and anxiety and political issues in children getting younger and younger every year. and i think parents have a right to be concerned about that. the major issue here is that a professor hannah jones is actually talking about the truth and, and that's what's lacking so much in this nation right now. and it's really, really sad that even the most far right wing people in germany can accept the fact that there were nazis that carried out atrocities the fact that this nation was forge and a cauldron of white supremacy. slavery indigenous genocide and lance matching is
6:16 am
not a lie at the end of the day. this is a fear of the rain from hearing and having to embrace the truth. and it's funny that the people on this side, the i are also talking about are also talking about not the germany, because not the journey with a, with also the government and the, or the leadership there. that it started to in court. this propaganda into that population to say if you agree or you don't, that is what my colleague is saying here. that's what some of these new educational politicians are trying to are trying to impose on children on young children. and all that's going to do is continue dividing the population because one thing has happened from this they, they claim to be the moral high ground. it claims to be the beacon of truth, but all it's doing is dividing. people confuse the children and wanting children to turn against each other. i don't even know what just happened. that was a very interesting soliloquy. again, we're not trying to tear people apart from each other. truth is truth. if truth is
6:17 am
going to hurt people that's on, on the people, and what you just heard in this very myopic and silly a soliloquy is that it's some sort of political motivation. truth just is, is, is truth. you cannot deny what has happened in this country. what is happening in this country, and you cannot deny that this country was founded in an image and an lens of benefiting white people at the expense of other people. and that's just a fact. you can absolutely talk and teach about history and about what's happened in this country. them the heretic, things at the library without having to completely de do as completely unravel the fabric and the foundations of this country's history. but when it comes to truth, migrant and we are so far from when that used to mean it's not a relative term. now tap into phase of rising pollution and climate change. businesses are increasingly pumping up that co friendly credentials, but how much of it is just marketing. but all these piece, all of
6:18 am
a looks now have some consumers in europe, a being duped by so called green washing. as we learn more about our impact upon the climate as increasing impetus on us all to keep that in mind when it comes to purchases. and that's also been seized upon by advertisers who are very keen to push their product as the best one for the environment. jim and consumer rights group food watch handout, a yearly award. the golden cream puff which shames those products that pitch themselves as green. but in reality, they're using climate concern to just shift more units. our diet has it's sharon, the huge problems we face to day. the food industry now wants to cash in on consumers, need for more sustainability and his marketing their products as a way of saving the environment and the climate. these of the products on german shells that made up the top 3 this year when it comes to green washing or promoting yourself is good for the climate when really,
6:19 am
you're not in the bronze medal position on these coffee capsules from hamburg faced coffee roasted j. j, damp oven, and partnership with the swiss culprit giant morgan pick branded as composter, bowl and biodegradable. they are anything bought and waste companies will struggle to do anything with them other than incinerator them. second place goes to this bottle of volvic water, climate neutral, certified according to the packaging. it's a plastic bottle, so that's already not stacking up user usable. if you can, also, this water has to be transported all away from france when this perfectly good, much better for the environment. water coming out of tops and drinking fountains. volvic on their parent company to non did have this to say in their defense. since august 2020, we have only used recycle td for our disposable bottles. for long transport routes . these bowels are the ecologically most sensible packaging. also, the company has launched
6:20 am
a regional mineral water that is sold in class deposit bottles. this year's winner was the see from ok to river and there climate neutral chicken breasts. there's a lot of c o 2 produced getting a chicken from farm to supermarket river promise that is offset through a scheme that finances climate protection in the rain forests of peru. the problem is, according to the investigative work of food watch, that program doesn't seem to have had any of the desired effect. it can be demonstrated at the rate of deforestation in the critic terrier, actually more than doubled after the project started. here's what were ever had to say for themselves. the revery group had already reacted and as climate partner as the project manager to submit an assessment based on the information available. unfortunately, this was previously not possible because the author of the study had not made direct contact with the rubric group, climate partner or the local project developer boskus amazon. of course, this would have made the false allegations easy to refute. while the companies
6:21 am
named in this particular awards ceremony are keen to stress that their climate action is legitimate. i guess the big takeaway is to make sure that when you buy something that advertises itself as good for the climate that they are going further than just a label on a bottle or a box. peter oliver are t. berlin, civilians killed and homes destroyed. the people impacted by the us led war in afghanistan or more than just statistics. and throughout the year, parties online project unheard voices has been sharing some of their life changing experiences. but we'll leave this out with one of those stories. a man who spent 3 years in notorious american run prisons abroad. i had to stop telling myself that i'm the father, that i am a son. i am a husband. that i'm a human being, i sorry to call myself. i. what i had been told that i was,
6:22 am
and that was my number 558. that was my number in guantanamo. we're in may 2002. i was interrogated by the cia and the f. b. i and they threatened if i did not cooperate, to send me either to egypt or to syria, to be further tortured. either you with us or you were the enemy. there is no in between and that doctors still stay us. i think it's quite clear to me at the united states response to the terrible deaths of 911 was vengeance. the war on terror is not a police operation. it's a military operation. why they picked on me. it wasn't just me. they picked on
6:23 am
everybody. you know, who knows if anybody is prepared to hand you over to a country to talk to you and you know, i live in a pakistani and to be over it. and i'm my parents from pakistan. i'm a deal national. they handed me over to the americans without any legal possible. aah! i was held there for a year in 2002 to 2003, and i saw 2 individuals beaten to death by american soldiers. is east her is play by a whole set of different rules. kids kind of force us than your words the get me 30 and master in order to take them on will use all tools at our disposal. the boys a few bad apples. isolated incidents,
6:24 am
one by one, the terrorists are learning the meaning of american justice. to leave this place, i pity my what the united states was doing in afghanistan. they were bringing people to this torture sight afghans forgery africa and abusing them outside of the rule of law and then allowing some of them to go back home and they would go home and tell people what the americans did. by the time i got to guantanamo, i was begging to go to turn on because what i've seen and witnessed in belgrade was so destructive to this day. i haven't, i can't sleep. oh, i several of us since one cannibal, including several taliban members who now heads of various departments in the act and government were tortured. we were stripped,
6:25 am
we were beaten and was spat upon. we were humiliated photographs unless was taken during this period of time. they had a sound, a woman in the next room that led me to believe with my wife, being tortured. they waived the picture of my children in front of me and asked me where do you think they are now, what do you think happens in the night and took your way? and of course, what they wanted me to do was cosign a confession that i was a member of al qaeda, which i was not. and this was, i'd say, stand it, i got it. i think i got it better than a lot of the other prisoners i me. so this is the handmade calendar that i made when i was in. quinton, i thought that perhaps if i counted the days that it will be easier. but when the
6:26 am
days tended to weeks and months, and then 2 years, i realized that it was just futile. when i received such letters from my children who are very young at the time, it's actually made it worse to look at the calendar and start the count down the days my children growing up without me. and every day, without them, with a stab in the heart. and they would come sporadically, they had to be vetted uncensored by the us censorship. my daughter who was 6 at the time, wrote a poem, 12345. once i caught official life and they redacted that because they said that has numbers in the a numbers could mean some sort of a code. so it was that kind of nonsensical reduction disconnecting from the idea of being a father. ironically and sadly, but also my own personal faith, my belief in god my reading, the koran and again and expectedly becoming friends with several of the american
6:27 am
soldiers who would bring me little snippets of information. sometime next week in a chocolate. sometime next week and a dvd player and show me a film didn't like that humanity that i have never forgotten to despair. and i think i left guantanamo not hating america because of those soldiers, me messages directly from some american soldiers who say that this has been a, a war that has destroyed us as individuals. soldiers, i've spoken to have told me that they cannot sleep at night. so i am in no doubt about the, the effects of this war, not just on the individuals, but on the nation as a whole of whom the soldiers representative me
6:28 am
has gone to the shop and unity types were destroyed. the united states produced a senate to report on torture, but not a single person was ever bought for charges for these kind. recently, i gave evidence the international criminal court for their investigations of abuses by americans enough. they would investigate to be like states, the national army and the taliban. the only ones who responded by threatening the international court was the united states of america. they said that we will sanction all members of the international court. we will arrest any members of the icpc who come to the usa or elsewhere they want to investigate us. i think the united states of america needs to step back if it wants to help any of any assistance to the people who understand it's got in a position to negotiate those conditions. it has,
6:29 am
it has been an aggressive taliban already made gestures towards russia to it's china, to it's the wrong to it's pakistan with indonesia would be like states and britain in particular. i think that feeling very upset because this is a defeat. it's a military defeat. however, you want to look at it and that imperial hubris, as it were, will not allow them to say that we need to move forward and continue within negotiations that we began in doha, that they cannot be any more saber rattling. it's no good for the people. it's no good. got in touch with the britain or america you've really got to find a way for oh
6:30 am
oh oh oh no one is starting at the age of 14 and battled for the next 5 years. his addiction eventually became psychotic. using very high potency wax. he jumped off a 6 story building. i guess that was the only way to do how to end. ah . today we're at 2015 on a visit. we're here, we're all, we've had a sore vendor. we've seen him.
