ah, ah, that owns an r t america's budget priorities. put the pentagon before the pandemic as president biden signs off on a massive $700000000000.00 defense plan. washington's global vaccination campaign keeps running out of money. also to come german politicians call to ban the popular messaging app telegram over hosting hate speech and cable conspiracy theories. however, moscow does say that double standards after the german media criticized russia, the trying to do the same a few years ago. and mary leader slams australia's policy of automatically supporting miti lenses, convicted of crimes, even if they've spent their entire lives in australia. it is not good enough that museum and is becoming a penal colony for australia and, and just reporting your problem. why does not solve the problem of gangs and broke

australia and new zealand with good even just gone 7 o'clock here in moscow, you watching arty international. now, while the global caveat pandemic does continue, america has a different priority. the joe biden, i signing a massive $700000000000.00 military budget for the upcoming year, even by america's own estimates. that's a 100 times more than the cost to vaccinating the entire planet has more gast yet expect. it's bigger than it's better than 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. sri, the paper, every day china russia ran and yet that budget was actually pra. a provided by the

white house was a cut, pretty dramatic code if you look at it, as 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, or walls. but the better part of a trillion dollars on a war machine back 88 for 11 against past 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 a decimal here. a decimal. where rounding up and down by, by hundreds of millions,

16 times greater than rushes, 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 use of low emission initial fee and net 0 initial energy technologies in the operations programs, project and activities, and the department provided these is cost effective on the life cycle of the innocent. 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 change engenders. 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 argued. it needed more money, which in your sunday,

we firmly opposed the u. s. slipping negative content, considering china, or making an issue out of china for political manipulation issue not implements negative content and articles in the acts that target china and damaged 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, is that field doesn't plane tickets to send guantanamo inmates home or to court. unfortunately, he section 1032 of the act continues to bar the use of fonts to transfer a guantanamo bay. detainees to the custody or effective control of certain foreign countries, and section 1033 of the act bars, 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 best nonsense. now, if you just ended that military industrial compet use ended this massive 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 affectively the usa. i. d ever does to provide health care for people overseas and not using that money to hurt people the

way the military does. ah, now the popular messaging app telegram might soon be restricted in germany, reclaims, it's not doing enough to combat extreme is content and co with conspiracy theories . but it wasn't all that long ago when german media was criticizing russia for trying to impose similar restrictions as moscow has been quick to point act. when in 2018 russian court imposed restrictions on the telecom app and prevent attended messages, almost every german media outlets reported about that so called violation of the freedom of speech in russia that now that political campaign is heating up in germany. guess what they're targeted with restrictions? telegram, well, it is all rather simple and se telegram in a way it revolutionized messaging and it brought a lot of good to the word 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 and apps for messaging. there's also

another side for this medal it has harboured and 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 are, well they kind of get all the information or 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 or that telegram basically allows them, allows them to exist there and to coordinate their like, protests, actions, demonstrations and so on and so forth. and basically, dragons involve more people into the circle of covered dirt 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 fester there. and so right now, they are accusing telegram of hate speech or they are looking for will legal ways

to somehow will influence the company and to have the company or if they can't influence it, than to take it down altogether. and of course, the german government here we can all understand it because well, harmful societies, they should not be allowed to just really 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 there 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 their rhetoric. the blocking of telegram is yet another sound development concerning freedom of speech pluralism and the right to privacy in russia. this is the sort of well rhetoric we heard 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 you can see one of the headlines, for example, that there are, there are very, very heated debates over well targeting, telegram all sorts, all sorts of that was yazzy over hatred, for example, 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 fire back and they accuse them of violating free 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, which is good enough for the entirety of the you. but germany wasn't having that. and so there have been some accusations of well that germany is not as dedicated to the freedom of speech principal as it may be, wants to appear on the line. but it was done of speaking to me early that will also spoke with matthew, donnie, a commentator at tech travel geeks, and he thinks blocking one platform won't stop the spread of extremist contact. obviously, telegram the users who and telegram at the moment a shouldn't have too much of an issue. moving to whatsapp apples, i message platform, google's messaging chat platform. there are loads of different messaging apps and

services. and let's not forget, they're also dedicated social media platforms which make it even easier to distribute this type of information or to congregate and discuss these topics. it's also very, very contradictory. we're sometime about 10 years ago in the, in the arab spring, we were celebrating these platforms for enabling uprisings across the mcgray. but in the middle east, it's one of those things that i think is very contradictory. it's fine when it suits you, but then you fight against it when it doesn't. ah, now an indigenous leader in new zealand says, australia. he's using his country as a dumping ground, the national mary authority chair, and once cambrai, to scrap its policy supporting you zealanders when they are convicted of crimes. it is not good enough that new zealand is becoming a penal colony for australia and just reporting 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 spirit of friendship that you would expect and between 2 neighbors will under strolling law, if for a nation was, are sentenced to more than one year in prison, they automatically lose the right to stay in the country. and that applies even if they've lived in australia their entire lives. the last couple of years have seen hundreds of people sent back to new zealand where he lives to make up one of the largest migrant groups entering astray. lee, and many do arrive at a young age and grow up there. however, the strategy is immigration minister does say that the government routinely has to remove foreign nationals from a range of countries, juicing serious offenses. matthew to khaki again 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. white and australians want exactly what we want. we want safe communities. we do not want to say drugs being sold to our 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, they do share information, doctorate intelligence at the moment, it would be good to see if we could just increase their including and beastie and joint resources. that means also having a look at information and intelligence to find out where these drug supplies networks are establishing themselves across southeast asia, even into the pacific. been let's do that job together as australia and new zealand . and that ends experience still to come for you parents shouldn't get to decide what their kids learn. it's school that's according to the author of the

controversial u. s. anti slavery project debate the issue just after the break. ah ah ah

ah oh, happy new year special kaiser it born with the one and only gerald salenti or it's nader of the trans forecast man. no stuff ah ah, welcome back. now should parents have more same what their children are taught as school? well, according to nicole, hannah jones, they shouldn't. she's the founder of the controversial $1619.00 project, which does aim to reframe u. s. history in terms of race and her views are divisive. i don't really 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 expertise in the subject area. and that is not my job. as a 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 to she or anyone else to say, parents don't get a say in our children's education position is faulty and should be listened to and must have a platform removed sorry, but parents must be involved. come on, you pesky parents, just let her indoctrinate your kids in peace. 100. james lowers the 1619 project with the new york times 2 years ago, and its goal is to highlight the legacy of slavery on the contributions of black americans throughout us. history and content from the project has been in katy to in school curricula in at least 5 us states. we discussed the issue with legal analysts, jennifer breeding master, and also with the political activist,

anthony roaches, right? 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 and, 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 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 not alive at the end of the day. this is a fear of the rain from hearing and having to embrace the truth. 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 import 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 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 a 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 of laboring 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 one that used to mean it's not a relative term, civilians killed and homes destroyed the people impacted by the us led war in afghanistan, more than just numbers. and throughout the year, ortiz, online project on heard voices has been sharing some of their life changing experiences when we're leaving. this was one of those stories, a man who spent 3 years in the taurus american run prisons abroad.

i had to stop telling myself that i'm the father, that i am a son. i'm a husband that i'm a human being. i solitude whole myself. i'm what i had been told that i was and that was my number 558. that was my number and gone tommy room 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 will 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 that sort 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 everyone. you know, who knows. if anybody is prepared to hand you over to a country to talk to you and you know, i live it was a pakistani, ended me override. and i'm my parents from boston. i'm a deal national. they handed me over to the americans without any legal possible. ah, i was held there for a year in 2002 to 2003, and i saw 2 individuals beaten to death by american soldiers. these terrors play by a whole set of different rules. kids can force us than your words to get mean dirty, a master in order to take them on. we'll use all tools at our disposal.

the boys a few bad apples and isolated incidents. one by one. the terrorists are learning the meaning of american justice. to lead this place, a pity mize, what the united states was doing in afghanistan, they were bringing people to this torture sight afghans audrey 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, this is what the americans did. by the time i got to guantanamo, i was begging to go to guantanamo because what i've seen and witness and background was so destructive to this day. i haven't, i can't sleep. oh, i. several of

us was sent to one cannibal, including several taliban members. who now heads of various departments in the act and government were tortured. we were stripped, we were beaten with spat upon. we were humiliated photographs, and this was taken during this period of time they had a sound, a woman in the next room that led me to believe was my wife being tortured. they waved with pictures 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 prison. i

oh, so this is kinda handmade calendar that i made when i was in guantanamo. i thought that perhaps if i counted the days that it will be easier. but when the days turn 2 weeks and months, and then 2 years, i realize 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 were 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 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 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, lexus, 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 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, and i'm going to send they will 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 national committee court. we will arrest any members of the icpc who come to the usa or elsewhere that 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, it has been an aggressor. the taliban already made gestures towards russia to its china, to the wrong, to its pockets. dawn within the an easier would be life states and britain in particular. i think that feeling very upset because this is a defeat that'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 african people with bad credit. that's not what the britain or america you've really got to find a way for ah,

ah ah, with a smile william. he's a good i see with

water with junior was, wasn't that the appointment with issue she made it with? no, i mean, unless you put that in mind with our our new with ah, ah, no one is starting at the age 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 he knew how to entertain. ah, today we're at the 2015 honda. we're here what? oh, we've kind of a big animal and some of the live people in colorado. early 2, thousands, colorado became a test bed for medical and then later recreational marijuana. you know, at the time i wasn't really concerned, i didn't have a strong opinion about it either way.
