joe biden says america is going to start getting back to normal in the coming summer months but what is that going to look like will normal only be for vaccinated folks while everyone else stays home such talk is being met with fury from republicans who are set against it especially when it comes from democrats who oppose id checks considering that democrats want to require vaccine i.d.'s for people to conduct their basic daily activities they now have 0 grounds to objects to voter id laws he funded democrat logic you should need a $92.00 and even a grocery stool surely there wouldn't be an objection to showing an id to legally vote vaccine credentials would be a complete government over step individuals in america have a personal responsibility for their health the governor of florida is now promising a state wide ban it's completely unacceptable for either the government or the private sector to impose upon you the requirement that you show proof of vaccine to just simply be able to participate in normal society you want the fox to guard the hen house i mean give me a break i think

individuals including key players in joe biden state. and holidays with a difference travel agencies have begun to vaccine vacations hoping to give and back to tourism industry a booster shot from one of the top destinations seems to be russia. today we have around 80 people in moscow who if they want to be vaccinated and fly back on sunday i would probably give my turn at the end of the year and i don't want to wait that long. and a very good morning to you this is our. afghan interpreters who put their lives on the line and helped western forces in afghanistan fear that they could be abandoned and left to the mercy of taliban terrorists as u.s. and nato troops prepare to exit the country by mid september the former afghan translator who works for the british army told us why their concerns are real. if there isn't an office full recognition by the government so far. and the process soft often tempters or not very much at the top priority of the ministry of defense i think the ministry of defense and the u.k. government as a whole are f

president joe biden announced the withdrawal of american and nato troops a couple of days ago the reason the translators you help them are so scared is that the taliban which is resurgent in the country as branded them national traitors and considers them legitimate targets as here i am again says interpreters that been left traumatized. i am regularly in touch with the afghan interpreters who are searched for the british army and they are still stuck in afghanistan and they are not aware of their future they are living in trauma and fare every day not knowing what could happen tomorrow or next they didn't so the situation is very risky for and with us in afghanistan unless the british government acts quickly and introduces an inclusive scheme that allows all interpreters to relocate to the u.k. the situation will not be resolved our part of the international. mission subjective in afghanistan was to secure europe and american borders from the threat of terrorism so afghans who joined the international forces and world doesn't target us alongside these forces they are actually the core o

joe biden signing what can only be called a sanction spree so that package includes a $32.00 russian entities an individual sanction for allegedly interference in last year's presidential election stateside a range of financial and technology firms targeted for power and cyber attacks on federal agencies 10 russian diplomats expelled borrowing money international made more difficult for russia to and why anyone reasonable would look at this and say well this is pretty extensive apparently joe biden claims that this was his take it easy on russia set of sanctions and that ultimately all he really wants is to be friendly and the pressure dial down united states is not looking to kick off the. school is she in conflict with russia we want a stable predictable relationship is the time to deescalate well saying after announcing a slew of sanctions is mixed messages it's illogical it's very confusing i mean generally punishment and deescalation don't go hand in hand so you can see why the russian side pointed out that that moment there's a huge disconnect between what russia says or rather

biden was counsel joe biden said he's interested in the normalization of russia u.s. relations but the actions of his administration show us the opposite the u.s. is not ready to deal with the reality of the multiple a world which shuts at the possibility of american has your money instead they count on sanctions and interference in our internal affairs just this week biden and putin talked over the phone to join the conversation the u.s. president and a new batch of sanctions in putin's face only to express hope later for a stable and predictable way forward and the white house sees no problem here no discrepancy forget proof for good reason forget who's president even biden strategy is to bully a country out of geopolitical relevance and it seems that's the only predictable thing about america left after all trumps anti russia sanctions galore that appears to his whole. term didn't save the ex-president from being shamed for being soft on russia so maybe biden is resorting to nuclear options right away desperately trying to keep one foot in the door though the door

joe biden has unveiled a new infrastructure package that's left many people confused in part because it is a mixed bag that contains all sorts of measures that appear to have little to do with infrastructure for example about jobs and also environmental issues but only about a 3rd of americans actually support the bill trying to unpick it all. kind of mocking . joe biden's infrastructure plan is getting a fair amount of criticism polls show the country is pretty divided when it comes to the plan itself but overwhelmingly americans do agree that infrastructure should be a priority joe biden is selling the plan as a jobs creator then american jobs plan is an investment in america that will create millions of good jobs rebuild our country's infrastructure and position the united states to compete china public domestic investment as a share of the economy has fallen by more than 40 percent since the 1960 s. then merican jumps but he will invest in america in a way we have not invested since we built the interstate highways and won the space race. a plan to get america moving again and ge

with joe biden seems to be really quite willing to embrace that i mean when we look at biden's policy towards russia towards china his administration is going to places really fast i don't think they know how they're getting there and what the outcome is going to be because it's terrifying a lot of people how to use compelled to reconstitute the mechanisms of national security policy and foreign policy making the job administration. for. sure in terms of how college he was made many positions were not staffed other positions were just ignored and you know trump and his inner circle were making policy as opposed to the old fashioned way where you know. were put out to different departments they came together and deputies committees in the national security council came together and principals committees where the cabinet members got together and made you know again the president so that's what's returning to and when you do that you become a prisoner of process and so that's what we see with you know american foreign policy national security policy today is that joe biden has allowed t

president jeff zucker himself naturally trying to make joe biden out to be a spring chicken was the other side of the anti trump propaganda coing yeah i mean really we did it right but it was. shaking or whatever and we brought in like so many medical people so like all tell a story like this is all speculation you know you're shocked to hear john. mccain. you know why. he made you savior she. hated him as a. young. tree. that sounds a lot like election meddling something c.n.n. has pointed the finger at russia for time and time again blaming on unverifiable claims from u.s. intelligence and its reputation as evidence the. in last year's elections the network claimed that moscow was trying to hurt joe biden's chances by spreading conspiracy theories about the now u.s. president i'm talking about russia tacking more election russia once again interfered in the race for the white house russia is indeed interfering in the 2020 election with that kind of a double standard it should come as no surprise that people's trust for c.n.n. is on the decline but we don't think that this is all the per

biden was joe biden said he's interested in the normalization of russia u.s. relations but the actions of his administration show us the opposite the u.s. is not ready to deal with the reality of the multiple as well and was shocked at the possibility of american has instead on sanctions and now internal affairs when you so at this point russia says that they are going to react to these measures coming from the u.s. and the white house in turn says they reserve the right to react to russia's reaction while adding and here's the kicker that it would be best if everyone restrain themselves from escalating the situation any further. well political analyst chris bambery believes sanctions are the least efficient way to resolve the current issues between moscow and washington if you recall when donald trump was 1st elected he was adamant he was going to improve a relationship with with putin and with moscow but a majority opinion in the white sows the united states military united states security and american elites in general is in favor of this hard line of encou

biden for the crisis on the border and they don't blame the previous administration joe biden has only been president for 3 months he campaigned against donald trump and his policies at the border which he labeled as cruel now that joe biden is in office the flow of migrants is the highest it's been in 15 years many were shocked to see that among those trying to get in were to yemenis who are on the f.b.i.'s terrorism watch list. now amid all of this nancy pelosi assures us things are getting better we're on a good hand at the border under the leadership of joe biden president biden to sit there restructuring how we do what is happening there because here in a very bad situation under the chump administration 300 shares. lives from around the country have signed a letter calling for immediate action saying that joe biden's policies put communities in danger the borders don't work in their expose your citizens to more transnational against violence in our communities more drug poor me poor communities checks and you trafficking out of control but change does not seem to be in order to p

this is typical double speak by joe biden this is a joe biden who's putting it if he's really interested in gun control he should be interested in government gun control i don't like the the idea 2 of red and blue states there are plenty of democrats who are very very strongly in favor of the ownership of firearms very very strongly in favor of the 2nd amendment and in fact that's why you can't get gun control passed through the senate because it's evenly divided and many democratic senators are in favor of this just like many republicans. centrist republicans may be in favor of gun control at the end of the day this is starting a slippery slope i think it's waking people up to the religion of the by the administration he's going to get a lot of pushback not only from red america but from red and blue america where there are strong support even in the senate among many democrats to preserve our 2nd amendment freedoms. european court of human rights has ruled that compulsory vaccinations for children are consistent with international norms and could be regarded as necessary during some re

history could be over by mid september joe biden has announced the 11th of that month is the date of a complete withdrawal of u.s. and nato troops from afghanistan adding that they have stayed in the country for too long we deliver justice to bin ladin a decade ago and we've stayed in afghanistan for a decade sense sense then are reasons to remain in afghanistan become increasingly unclear together we have prevented afghanistan from serving as a safe haven for terrorists attack so against our own countries. since 911. that would be an. x. on our loads organized from afghanistan. the date is however months over the deadline set by a deal reached between the taliban and former us president donald trump and responsibility and group reiterated its warning against extending the presence of u.s. troops saying it would compound problems earlier this week the taliban said that they will not attend plan talks in turkey until all foreign forces leave afghanistan september 11th will mark 2 decades since the infamous terrorist attacks in the u.s. after which american forces went into afghanistan

clear that joe biden was going to pursue national security leaks just like barack obama did and just like donald trump did after him you can see our full interview with john kerry aku on the latest edition of watching of the hawks which is online now at r.t. dot com. a connection between the astra zeneca covert vaccine and blood clots does exist says a senior official from the european medicines agency but its cause is yet to be defined meanwhile the agency itself isn't rushing to link the 2 as artie's devinsky explains. well this for the confusion. of the safety over astra zeneca 1st of all we had this indictment from an e m a european medicines agencies top official one of the top officials saying that in his opinion there was a link in association between the astra zeneca job and the rare form of blood clotting this is blood clotting in the brain mariya cover larry made accusations in an interview with an italian newspaper and those accusations have now gone the viral around the world this is what he had to say we're trying to give the precise picture of what is happening to defin

joe biden has insisted migrant admissions will continue despite admitting the unprecedented immigration situation is now a crisis that as as the president is increasingly pressured by fellow democrats artie's kaleb more pain has the story. for months the white house has been insisting that it is not the time to use the word crisis for the situation at the border. illegally here right now the crisis the border i see he said the answer is no i think there is a challenge at the border of. this crisis center but i don't think we need to sit here and put new labels on what we have already conveyed is challenging but now biden has given in he's using the scary word that he tried to avoid because there obviously is one so how does biden intend to put out the flames of the crisis well he's going to allow more refugees into the country. if. the traditional authorities in america such as the police and the border patrol are on the edge of rebellion because the policies being thrust on them from washington d.c. are destroying their ability to do their jobs and destroying before their eyes the natu

joe biden has unveiled 6 executive orders a tightening firearm controls. violence that the u.s. president called an international embarrassment gun violence in this country is an epidemic whether congress acts or not i'm going to use all the resources in my disposal to keep the american people safe from gun violence but there's much more in the congress can do to help that effort. and they can do it right now so we have joe biden president of the united states talking about how there is an epidemic of gun violence in the united states and putting forward executive actions intended to address that epidemic now the 1st proposal we heard from the white house was an effort to crack down on how guns are sold he referenced ghost guns which are guns that people manufacture by they they purchase kits to make them in their homes he talked about gun show loopholes and background checks furthermore joe biden discussed what he calls the red flag legislation that exists in a number of states where if a person is deemed to be a threat to themselves or to others they are temporarily deprived o

i don't think that the crisis is should be defined as the fact that joe biden is detaining children on the border i think that we really need to look a lot bigger to understand what's going on and to understand the role of structural race it's a minute and i would say that the role of structural racism has to do with the way i think that foreign policy is a really big part of it and understanding why children are being forced to sleep from central america. and how our immigration policy and our foreign policy have worked together to create a crisis in central america to militarize not only our border but then it's back to force mexico to militarize militarized its own southern border and to force guatemala to militarize its own southern border that is immigration policy and foreign policy have promoted and economic development model for central america and mexico but especially central america right now that is forcing people to flee. and then forcing them and then pushing them back if somehow with the thing is not pretty and violence and the future who make it to the u.s. border. dona

health authorities advised not to use the jab over concerns about blood clots for surgical joe biden before he says it is handing cash to central american states in a bid to stem the influx of migrants the idea catches some flak at home with critics dubbing it an insult to americans in need and a state of emergency declared in minnesota where rioters flouted curfew for 2nd night running after another fatal shooting of a black man by police. i . don't get anything just on 7 here in moscow you watching r.t. international now u.s. health authorities are advising against the use of the johnson and johnson vaccine after 6 recipients in the country developed blood clots the american company now says it is aware of the red disorder and decided to delay the vaccines for a lagged in europe so let's get more on this now from our europe correspondent peter all of a joins us from berlin good evening paper and just run through there in the developments today in the reaction to the. this is being described as a proactive delay by johnson and johnson when it comes to their vaccines rollout across t

well i of course agree horrible as joe biden was as a presidential candidate if his promises the better promises dozens of them were being kept things would be not quite so bad the war on afghanistan would be ended the troops would be out. so the wars across the middle east and the troops and the weapons would be out. you know and it's it's incredible that he comes right in and picks up where trump left off changes very little has yet to lift the sanctions against the international criminal court it for his rule based order has yet to lift the the the trade sanctions the tariffs on on china and continues with the weapons that the united states take the 50 countries on earth that the u.s. government itself calls the most oppressive $48.00 of them 96 percent are getting weapons and training and funding of their militaries from the united states military and so it's incredible that you can do that while at the same time preaching democracy and peace and rule of law it makes absolutely no sense to me and it requires incredible contortions and what i said that the president went by and by th

ideological confrontation western liberalism versus soviet communism according to joe biden the great geopolitical struggle of our time is democracy versus a caucus the. we are in another great ideological struggle but there is a difference the west particularly the united states is the only ideological actor . cross talking geopolitics i'm joined by my guest rick ross off in chicago he is an anti nato analyst and a contributor to antiwar dot com in bath we have bruce gagne he is the coordinator of the global network against weapons and nuclear power in space and in charlottesville we cross to david swanson he is the executive director of world beyond war all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i always appreciate david let me go to you 1st in charlottesville . going after my introduction right here listening to the president the united states we're in a great ideological struggle against autocracy here very much in tune with what we experienced during the cold war which i remember very well and it was an ideological struggle but is ar

biden like. and they are trying to score political points and we see this kind of rhetoric this welcoming open woke nance. pushed by the democratic party but then when push comes to shove we see them backtrack on their words. jobs lost savings run out depression just some of the effects on the 10s of thousands of australians stranded abroad for months by one of the world's strictest lockdowns well now one group filed a human rights complaint with the united nations over their country's continued refusal to let their own citizens come. straightly and say the country's travel cap means the many still can't return up 240000 remain abroad according to the government although the profit of the real figures are far higher 5000 a listed as vulnerable we've been speaking to want to stray stranded in russia. originally up until. about october last year i was still actively trying to get on him since october i've largely given up my attempt to get to get back to my country because the restrictions is takin

he needs to realize that by joe biden's is all new cold war against china he simultaneously helping to create fertile conditions for the rise of violence it seems to me that for the foreseeable future we're going to have difficulties because china's ascendancy is not going away any time soon and i'm afraid to say the political education in united states is not very sophisticated not very high and inevitably bleeds into asian american anti pacific islander america violence. still ahead in the program a poll has found that most americans are now anxious about losing their jobs over something that they have said online because of the onset of canceled culture we will dig deeper into that after a short break this is our 2 international. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race is on spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask. for.

biden keeps repeating that big tech are his allies in his efforts to create a world where everyone has freedom of speech and the united states is spreading human rights across the planet but some are saying that a social media purge of a former president sets a dangerous precedent it is an issue that we have got to be thinking about because of anybody who thinks. yesterday it was donald trump who was banned and tomorrow could be somebody else who has a different very different point of view so i don't like giving that much power to a handful of high tech people but the devil is obviously in the details and it's something we're going to think long and hard on and that is how you preserve 1st amendment rights without moving this country into a big lie a mentality and conspiracy theory all kinds of pro trump voices have been purged from social media you've got the removal of retired general michael flynn sidney power and 2008 vice presidential candidate of the libertarian party and commentator wayne allen root we've also seen big tech declare certain news stories to be off limits they hav

biden's proposal is also to raise now the corporate tax rate in the u.s. up to 28 percent if you don't factor in state taxes the u.s. is going to have the highest tax rate on corporations in the industrialized world and the o.e.c.d. and that's not good. i know they're saying the devil is in the details certainly same do apply here and there's been a lot of talk about what this new spending plan what it includes and what it's going to look like moving forward so christy what problems do you see with this massive infrastructure plan that the buy administration is promoting. well one of the main problems of those item is that it's largely politically and public sector driven it includes almost 40 percent subsidies to local corporations and the public sector which can actually reduce productivity and efficiency as it already happened in the past so on top of that it comes with the largest tax increase in the u.s. history and it basically is a massive increase in subsidies to nonproductive areas of the economy against a series of protectionist and very misguide

biden shouldn't ever ran around you know pretty much are letting the world know his intention to grant legalization to up to 11000000 illegal residents in the united states of america i mean that's the reason why we have the floods a quarter joe biden won the election over 75000 encounters between the custom of border protection and migrants that was more than double the $36000.00 from january of last year so obviously it's on the administration it's the fact that joe biden is running around that they're doing things like catch and release which is a lot more attractive to these people they realize if they come all the way and make the arduous trek to come to america they're not going to be immediately sent back they're going to be allowed to stay here and that's what's compelling people to go ahead and take that dangerous trek to america and more and more doing it and we're actually hearing more of their stories their plight you know maybe that is why we saw a quick resignation of the 1st probably biden administrator of his term what are your thoughts on chief magnus who is been an ac

biden the great geopolitical struggle of our time is democracy versus the talk recy for by we are in another great ideological struggle but there is a difference the west particularly the united states is the only ideological actor . welcome back to beijing has lashed out at washington after a u.s. ambassador made his 1st official visit to taiwan and as a 40 year is china considers the island as part of its territory and it's also been a point of contention in international relations however this isn't the time washington has stepped on china's toes in the region the quadrilateral security dialogue has recently been reestablished which some have labeled the asia nato simon right as more. rise of china and subsequent tantrum in the west is heading the way these things always do the great powers and some not so great ones are getting together and holding hands and forming alliances so anything really bad happens we can all suffer together in the blue corner we have the cord for the 1st try we're convening this group leader yet that meeting was a few weeks ago a meeting of the quadrilat
