ah, ah, the world's 10 richest people double their wealth, while millions die of prob it down and report from york from charity says the pandemic, increased inequality across the globe. they make has really been apologies. over the last 2 years, it's been really exponential. so we call it a state of virginia, is elected republican governor, dismantled previous democrat policy, shutting down critical rights theory, and most makes and public schools in the box, a wave of criticism russia to promote accused of international conventions. that's all for all german language channels. he was taken off following pressure by general media with
12:01 pm
la from oscar. thanks for joining us. the international and daniel hawkins. wherever you are, the sell. welcome to the program. now the wealth of the world's richest people has doubled during the pandemic, while a poor suffered increased death writes on poverty to to a lack of treatment and vaccines. those, the key findings of a report by oxfam call that equality kills a charity claims policy. choices bar governments are skewed in favor of the rich dwell for the world's 10 riches men, has doubled to the pandemic began the incomes of 99 percent of humanity. a worse off because of coven 19. this is not by chance, but choice. economic violence is perpetrated when structural policy choices are made for the richest and most powerful people. this causes direct. com to us all the time they make has really exposed. been all it is and fuel them. so oxide has
12:02 pm
been tracking billionaire wealth for some time and of course the full list shows that it has been growing over the last 40 years. but over the last 2 years it's been really exponential. so we call it a billionaire bonanza. and at the other end of the spectrum, of course, for 99 percent of humanity. it's been a very, very difficult time. and most people are worse off as a result of that. and then make, of course, more than a 160000000 people have fallen into poverty during this time. and if in a moment when you can see the difference is really showing very, very starkly can't cause success. when there is such disparity, that at one end of the spectrum, you have people who have more wilson, they can spend in several lifetimes. and the other we have people struggling to pay their next health bill or, or not knowing where the next meal is coming from. having such a level of disparity affects everyone, even the wealthiest, because you know it's a sign of an unhealthy state of affairs, of
12:03 pm
a unhealthy society that needs addressing. according to the pan am exposed to more than 160000000 people into poverty. one estimated 70000000 they allege have died from grown a virus and around 6000000 more level. so lost their lives due to a lack of poor health care in less will of countries. meanwhile, the top 10 people on forbes list, including well known public figures such as mosques, jeff pays us and bill gates had 6 times more money than the poorest. 3000000000 combined. while they doubled their wealth, the incomes of 99 percent of the world's population wasn't. since the panoramic began a new 1000000000 has been created roughly every day oxfam believe the key reason for such inequality in vaccine supply. one of those key drivers for equality has been a vaccine access to vaccines. so the difference between rich and poor countries has
12:04 pm
grown the inequality. so and the forest countries in africa, in general, only 10 percent of the population has had his 1st course of vaccination america. economic power and several other countries in the world can help reverse that from unlocking that in from the calculations that, that we have made. it would be possible for example, to vaccinate the whole world to chief and health care for all the universal health care and their ways and, and others have campaigned for lifting those intellectual property rights. that in fact, mean that pharmaceutical have a monopoly over probably vaccines that are not readily available or produced as, as, as, as they could all over the world all just days in office and virginia's new republican governor dismantling previous democratic policies, cancelling a school mosque mandate, and binding curriculums about critical race theory. the sweeping measures a revoking of barrels of criticism,
12:05 pm
whereas growth love now to all us correspondents in new york. caleb morgan. caleb, thanks for joining us. pretty sweeping policy changes the back to square one. really, what's been the results and the reaction? sure, it's a new fast pace in american politics. we have glen youngin, who is the republican governor of virginia, just sworn in on saturday, and as promised, he signed 11 executive orders on his 1st day in office. now the most famous of those 2 of those 11 executive orders were 21 removing critical race theory from schools and the other rolling back the mask mandate in public schools. now that 2nd one, rolling back the mask mandate faced a lot of opposition across the state of virginia. and it was not only from democrats, one of the pupils attending a school in arlington actually spoke up against the math mandate and thank to the
12:06 pm
arlington. schools were keeping their mask mandate in effect. this mother happens to be the white house spokesperson. thank you to arlington, public schools for standing up for our kids, teachers and administrators, and their safety in the midst of a transmissible variant. school divisions across virginia are rejecting glen youngins dangerous anti science executive action and keeping mask requirements in schools to ensure the health and safety of k 12 students in the commonwealth. now, schools in arlington, fairfax and alexandria, decided to keep their masked mandates in effect. and though young can initially campaigned on this, he decided, as he had said, throughout his campaign that he was about empowering parents on issues facing their children in school. so in response, he's given these schools 8 days to reconsider parents concerns. this is glen younger. well, 1st of all, we wrote the order specifically to give all of the school systems basically 8 days
12:07 pm
to get ready to listen to parents. now the 2nd pivotal issue was on the teaching of critical race theory. in virginia's public schools, there is a revolt against the way our schools have been managed comprehensively. and critical race theory is a big part of a critical race theory as a political agenda that as absolutely in our schools. and it teaches everyone to view everything through a lens of race and then pits our children against one another. yes, we will teach all history the good and the bad, but to actually teach our children that one group is advantaged. and another is disadvantaged simply because of the color of their skin cuts across everything we know to be true. now this move sparked a wave of online backlash with many saying there was no problem to begin with. and it critical race theory is a legitimate part of education in the state. critical race theory isn't in the
12:08 pm
virginia k 12 curriculum and lifting a mask mandate in schools is foolish. they know perfectly well that c r t isn't on the curriculum, but they're using it just like masks and vaccine as a way for their rhetoric and actions to seem more palatable. the p t a's have become radicalized recruitment centers. as a republican, i am sick of you already. virginia never taught critical race theory. you banned. nothing. you fool. now your stupidity is spreading cove it in schools that will end the lives of more stupid republicans. why do you hate god in america? are you a fascists? now it's important to note, virginia has been pretty solidly in the democratic party's camp for the last decade . and the new governor who signed all these executive orders on his 1st day only one by roughly 2 percent. so. busy we're looking at the state of virginia, a historically blue state that now seems to have
12:09 pm
a red governor on the state leadership as kind of an example of yet another example of how the united states remains very, very divided in these times. it's pretty clear that virginians don't see eye to eye on some rather critical issues for involving the schools where their children learn your wife. yeah, always anamosa topic schools on education that kayla more than the law from new york. correct for that up now there has been another update, and the often inflamed relationship between harry potter or subject rolling and members of the transgender community police in scotland have announced they will now not take any action over tweet bond activists that revealed rawlings home address at the time of the post, the writer wrote this response to the french campaigns. they should have reflected on the fact that have not received so many death threats. i could paper the house with them and haven't stopped speaking out. the post she's responding to include a transaction of
12:10 pm
a standing by her householding side with slogans such as trends liberation. now, though deleted, it was immediately re posted with a home information available for all to see running says she's been targeted for speaking up for women's sex based right. and people who are quick to point out the apparent double standards and the belief is decision not to sean. the campaign of i wonder why no actions being taken. i'd assume it's because for kyra the food chain i trans support us and don't want to upset the apple cart. the fact her address or anyone to just be posted on line without knowledge or consent is wrong regardless of why it's a violation of safety. doc saying is illegal and it doesn't matter if you delete the content a few hours later makes you wonder what the police are playing it, cherry picking what is lawful, depending on who is complaining. she used to pander to those people, even changing the sexuality of characters, to please them. she played working mental gymnastics and slipped up, and then the mob turned on her. it is quite surprising, they're not taking any kind of action, although you see this is a very much
12:11 pm
a gray area where legality is difficult to prove. and in this particular case, i believe the, the police were review the circumstances clearly with the lawyers and decided that there wasn't any legality that we have now a situation in the u. k. in other countries where people don't believe the others have a right to have a view, and this is all, this is an opposing view to them. and i think that's quite disgusting. and, and you know, this well, this could well end up in some form of prosecution or someone should cause harassment apps. and i believe that she has said that she said, all sorts of problems since then. so individuals of committed harassment afterwards may well end up being guilty of crimes. backlash against rounding began in 2020 after she question headline about people who menstruate by claiming the meaning of
12:12 pm
the word woman had been lost or some twitter users took that to mean she was saying transgender men and women should have fewer rights. political commentator under walker says, you can police are only willing to go off the crimes when it suits them. any police force that equality can do more or less investigation. i refer you back to the case of the scottish comedian, but taught his dog or his wife's dog how to do hitler salutes in order to prevent of a joke. they are perfectly willing to put it in the resources when it suits them, but they're not willing to put in the resources when it doesn't suit that police. scotland will be perfectly happy with j. k. rowling being intimidated, perfectly happy without being harassed and will take actually no action to defend time because they don't agree with that. politically. my comment is next. jake has all the he's going to say she can afford security. what about the rest of pressure to have these highly political police force? highly political police?
12:13 pm
li does put police on the political control. what politician, fellow, who to prosecute when that is a danger not to j. k. rowling. because she's rich and powerful to ordinary people, like, you know, make russia stop diplomat. sorry. i love the cues, but enough putting pressure on art. he's new german language channel, author talks with the countries foreign minister here in moscow. i'll go to the phone and donald quarter was following about one of the main points of discussion at the press conference was of course, the fate of r t z german language channel r t d e, which has been facing a lot of censorship in germany. the russian foreign minister circ a live rob said that the german state was actually directly involved in this violation of free journalism. going as far to say that sanctions mainly even need to be taken if the matter is not resolved. as for his german counterpart, she said that the state actually was not involved. so let's take a listen to what they both said. now christian cannot ask the state interference
12:14 pm
regarding r t d. well, that's just not true enough unless you know why. we have every reason to believe that the german government is directly involved in what is happening. let me remind you that banking services for our journalists were stopped at an early stage. the german media regulator blocked the satellite signal despite the serbian license. we believe that this is an interference in the work of independent journalists. and i wasn't all bare bach had to say about to rtp, actually she want to went on at length to speak about how popular our channel is about how it's the 4th largest on social media, based on what she said, you might even think she was one of our fans and cannot all t 2, he has confirmed it's the 4th largest on social media. of course, there was also a lot of talk about the security guarantees that rushes proposed for itself and nato to prevent further escalation of the conflict in ukraine. russia is still waiting for concrete answers from nato and the west. although we have heard from washington, which is called the the,
12:15 pm
the proposals that rushes put forward. nonstarter negotiating points for the german foreign ministers. part though, she said that the german government is ready for serious discussions about these proposals, while she also demanded security guarantees from russia. and she said that russian troops are somehow threatening the russian troops that are located on russian territory near ukraine. as for elaborate though, he said that the russian state has the right to do what it wants with in its own territory and your next buckingham dish. me. i will not in recent weeks, more than 100000 russian troops and military equipment or a mass near the ukrainian border without any visible reason. yeah. it's hard to consider this is anything other than a threat we needed. i was just still, we explained that the provocation, coming from many western politicians, is making it necessary for our troops to conduct combat training measures. and we explained that we cannot accept certain demands regarding the actions of our armed forces on our own soil. we drew attention to the fact that while the us and other
12:16 pm
nato members are demanding the removal of our forces, they are positioning troops, including troops who have arrived in europe from overseas. the double standard here is obvious, but it does seem though that the 2 foreign minister is to see either on the north stream to gas pipeline bare bach said that europe needs russia to be a reliable supplier of gas to solve this energy crisis. that's right. now, plaguing the continent, while lab ralph said that he had a long talk with his german counterpart about the unfortunate politicization of the north stream to pipeline. so, a lot of topics were discussed at this press conference between the foreign ministers of germany and russia. the kremlin, in the meantime, war and even the most respected mainstream media have now abandoned. the most basic fact checking. this comes off to the new york times, saw that an unnamed official at moscow was pulling out kear unless you're off ahead of inviting you frame for a ministry folks. and what, what is the heart of a noted that printing such sensation this lies is sound western outlets and little
12:17 pm
more than anti russian piano oppression. americas new york times newspaper is now an agent of ukraine security service through it. the source of this found this structure has promoted another supposed sensation, suggesting that the russian embassy and keith is being evacuated, the russian embassy and conceal it's general in ukraine, operating as normal. and the american journalists have lost their culture of checking published data. even though we have published many materials on this issue . or the times piece is just the latest that a litany of on proven claims that moscow's voting are ukrainian invasion. talks between russia, the u. s. and mate of so far failed to their intentions. on the contrary, worse than politicians recently ramped up threats of new sanctions against the criminal. well, meanwhile, nato states of boosting military support to kia with canada, jordan, you game sending troops and special forces. williams already shipped miss. all
12:18 pm
systems which are claims are strictly defensive in nature. and u. s. allies including sweden, reinforcing military positions near russian borders. cross live north geopolitical analyst, patrick hanning. so i'm also editor of the 21st century wire news outlet. thanks to joining us. so good serve you on the program today. now, western countries are sending military forces to ukraine. how do you expect russia will reacts i will shouldn't react to this? well, i think russia has to take it very seriously. i mean it's, it's gone now, it's advanced beyond the stage of just rhetoric and saber rattling. i mean, they've been talking up a russian invasion in the western media really for the last couple of months. and it seemed like it was a provocations, more of the usual that we've seen over the last few years. but i think now you're talking about deploying special forces as canada is to, you know, evacuate diplomats and so forth,
12:19 pm
in the event that there's hostilities. so in the british officials are talking about a russian invasion, like it's a fader complete, they're basically saying they're going to invade the ukraine. and it's just going to happen. it's a question of when putin's waiting for the opportune moment and so forth. this is what we're seeing in the western press, and unfortunately politicians are running with this. and so, so many times in the past we've seen where intelligence agencies are feeding the mainstream media with various intelligence or possibilities of scenarios and so forth. and then it all is done, it materializes in the political sphere as fact. and then the whole thing starts to develop its own inertia. and this is the dangerous part in this is why i think personally, and i'm not alone that the western media and western political bodies are playing with fire in the sort of direction they're trying to take this, that the british defense secretary ben wallace has said the weapon to surprise you
12:20 pm
crying out pose no threat, no offense to tape it, but it's he, i believe he's quoted them as being an to tank at defense of missiles here. is that something you believe and said russia be concerned about that? no, no, i can't see how you can call these defensive weapons. and purely because of this reason, if, if, if it has a range, or these are the brit british equivalent of javelin missiles that they're talking about. let's say it has a range, 800 meters. if that weapon is used, either from behind the green line it, let's take dumbass in eastern ukraine for instance, from behind the green line on the crane inside or inside the green line. then it's not a defensive weapon. it's being used as an offensive weapon. it's being used for provocations, so the, to be able to try to frame this as these are defensive weapons. it simply doesn't add up to, to, to the facts on the ground in a battle field situation. so this can only be viewed,
12:21 pm
this ms plying more and more weapons into ukrainian military. at the time when tensions are being ratcheted up in the west, this can only be translated as a provocation. and so this is extremely dangerous. what's that i gone even non native m mistakes, such as sweden, for example, deploying troops near russia's borders. what possible reasons could they have for, for those kind of deployments? well, this is, this is sort of standard fare. i think nato's been running drills in, you know, up in norway and sweden is border up in this region for some time. the u. s. is as done, major exercises there as well in conjunction with those local military forces. so in, in a way it's, it's just more of the same, this been the kind of the routine that we've gotten used to in recent years. however, if you do combine it with what's going on right now with the absolute attempt to
12:22 pm
escalate the situation with ukraine than it takes on a whole nother meaning. and so. but in and of themselves of sweden doesn't play any major or significant role a militarily. and this sort of nato military set up or within the u at the alliance, even as a not not a central member or a main member of the alliance. it's still, it's, it's neither here nor there. what matters, i think, is that you have this whole european approach or this whole western approach, orienting itself towards a conflict with russia. that's the worrying part. who do you think stands to benefit from the u. s. m sending troops and thanks on the weapons to ukraine. i mean, surely nobody would benefit from an outright at conflict with russia mistake. what's the rationale then, of breaking things so close to the edge? will a certainly, i don't, i don't see any benefit for russia. of for
12:23 pm
a quote invading ukraine they, they have nothing to gain from this at all. however, russia has made it clear that if civilians are vulnerable, if they're in danger of being killed or there's some situation like that, they would, i would most likely act on a sort of humanitarian ground or to a defensive piece keeping ground to do that there. but i think the washington has something to benefit west the u. s. the u. k. and france, for instance, the 3 primary members of nato. they are right now. there's that record low confidence in the government, in political leaders in those 3 countries. right now, they're both in on their sort of back heels as a result of what's going on domestically. there's massive general strikes happening in france. there's marches every other week in the capital of all these countries. and in the u. s, there's a great disenchantment with the biden administration pulling it in all time low.
12:24 pm
the presence had his vaccine mandates of pushed back in the courts. and so, and what they need is a distraction. and that distraction might come in the form of conflict. that's the big worry is politically that they're in desperate straits in, in the u. s. u. k. and france. and this conflict or anything even approaching a conflict, even the threat of a conflict would dominate the headlines for wants perhaps. and it would be the ultimate distraction. i think these governments would benefit from that's my personal opinion. history does have a tendency of repeating itself. unfortunately, patrick kennings and next few will take on the story here today. you're not interested. give, ah, now british man who took full people hostage synagogue in the us state of texas that weekend was previously flagged while he, cale authorities, when it was our chrome, had been seen as a potential islamist terrorists sort of 20 twins investigation buttons and my 5
12:25 pm
intelligence agency where you go forward, he's though determined that he posed no threat at that time. he was left on record as a person of interest, but was able to fly to the us and by far on there appears that you can, i thought he said not relate any of their concerns about him to their american counterparts before they attack the ledge perpetrator was killed after an 11 hour style of the synagogue and poly bill, a sub of dallas. all the hostages survived. police in england have detained to teenagers, part of the ongoing investigation into the attack. we spoke earlier with former m. i 5 intelligence officer who said the incident resulted from a failure on both sides. the atlantic failure 2 levels. one is that and i 5, did drop the investigation into him and it might well have been because he was seen to have mental health issues rather than a terrorist to contention. but the other m astonishing thing from my perspective is the fact that he was allowed into the states as well, with a string of convictions and with his mental health issues in the background. and,
12:26 pm
you know, the u. k. u s. homeland security act is supposed to be the, precisely to blog people coming in to the us on these grounds. so it's not just my fault, i think, although i do think we have a problem one in the ship holding that information, that guessing she volume of people they have to investigate. but for the u. s. also to have allowed him in, not have called out the u. k. and said, miss mans got conviction, deliver, taste. we can't let him in and send him back. noticing that when you read into it, that he was able just to get a gun like that, a lethal weapon without being on any authorities watch list at all. that just shows an absolute failure on every front face, the intelligence agencies in the u. k. the border security usa policing security in the usa as well. and i think, you know, it's great now that we can pinpoint what happened, what went wrong in this case, but that's not how our intelligence agencies based in the usa. i'm the case working
12:27 pm
. they all there to preemptively gather intelligence, to preemptively stop the sort of terrorist attacks, not just have information that can be used and be useful after an attack about what the police are going to do. so why do we spend all this money on all, incredibly invasive intelligence agencies, if they are letting these people slip between the cracked time after time after time, not just in the u. k, or the u. s. sake, but across europe as well as the last 7 years. are you confident lessons have been learned as to what happened over the weekend, or are we going to see further instance other crimes happening if there is what seems to be on the said such a weak communication between the u. k and us authorities, i'm sure they will say the lessons. and what that will mean in reality is that they will probably scoop up and share even more and increasingly invasive communication technologically. and they will say to protect all of us against terrorism. whereas in fact, if they did the job, probably preemptively to target and stop potential terrorists rather than beating
12:28 pm
all privacy and take away all our civil liberties and countries that would be much more effective. and that would be the channel. i would suggest that they start looking into, rather than just aggressively breaking whale human rights and civil liberties in line, which is not helping them if not helping them to protect us. and it's not protecting the national security. i started documentary follows the story of child geniuses on the different approaches to education for back and often i with the very latest join us again, that auto interaction with your mamma. yes. you order the c i o. now i, lisa typical, there's only 9, but already university students. she could well be the most famous and talked about
12:29 pm
child in russia. now i think i am lisa's brothers and sisters are way ahead in their studies to some might even try to get into the university earlier. my daughter was only one when they took offset the news. i had to wonder if give to children with a product. the very early studies or just had a natural gift coach. you should you teach chemistry to a 4 year old. and what about other people who has kids were so far ahead of other children their age? are they more successful now? to seek an answer. i met some child prodigy and adults who had been described as prodigies. dom local choose to scramble to call them, but on here. but the actual only thing that i feel for under should print on which is questioning today because i don't want the sketch push through them. you do the open enrollment coach, give that away amiens' national robot if that sounds good. in fact, he beck, this but i guess it was
12:30 pm
a new month's when the lip lip do you got the glass doors to deal with or get started with the one calling from his teacher or was awful reason this one is gonna coordinate. 6 6 ah, it's a block of have 7 children, so getting them all dressed, they're ready to go for a walk is a challenge. they don't use babysitters or ask the grandparents to help and their kids are all being home schooled. yet elisa is already a university, pinedale passed his year 9 tests at 75 year old les i has finished 4th grade ad for tara is just getting ready for school. i long as to, i've already learned to read for a learn to say who's the youngest are the only 2, not yet brighten any records. but she was.
