Frances, on the lookout for new spy talent. The national Intelligence Agency launches a Recruitment Drive we gauge reaction on the streets of paris. Ah, coming to you live from our World News Headquarters in moscow. This is our international. Im your host donald quarter. Welcome to the program. He was president , has lashed out at washington, accusing it of stirring up mass protests across the country. Thousands have flooded the streets of the caribbean nation over an economic crisis exact exacerbated by the pandemic. The anti government movements being called the largest and 30 years the u. S, which has a decades long embargo against the islands set. It fully backs the peoples right to rally. The protest come after a uniquely tough year for cuba. Economy plunged 11 percent hurt by the cold crisis. And american sanction the country said the u. S. Embargo cost at 9000000000 dollars last year alone, hurting its ability to fight the pandemic. America calls it sanctions tools for democracy. While cuba, as President Demand supporters go out and defend their country, corresponding for our sister channel, ouR T spanish is in havana, cuba. Im coming out ministrations in support of the cuban government being held around the country. You can see national flags, portraits of the historical leader of the cuban revolution, fidel castro, and slogans for him. And President Miguel Diaz canal. These demonstrations some large other smaller like this one. Taking place. Not only in havana, but in other parts of cuba. The protest appeared to have been organized on social media present, Diaz Canal appeared to the country on television. Lets listen to an exit from his speech. Say about, im all over a little. We are addressing revolutionaries who may have become entangled. Addressing cubans who may have some concerns, but we will not allow the opponents of the revolution mercenaries who have sold out to the u. S. Government sold out to the empire, receiving money from subversive agencies to provoke destabilization. And there will be a response from the revolutionaries. And therefore, we call upon all the revolutionaries of the country, all the communists to come out in the places where these provocations are being carried out today and from now on the demo. And its noteworthy that american flags could be seen at some demonstrations against the government. Many said this was proof of the involvement in the us in organizing such actions. Many find it all the, even though the u. S. Is blockading cuba. People are still waving american flags. Despite this, the marches in support of the government took place in different parts of the city. We spoke with several people who came out to defend the government and heard what they think about the protests. But foR The lower level, of course improvements are needed, but well, well do it in a different way. And we will not please the americans imperialist wants nothing good for us. It wont be better if they triumph here. That is stabilized, they wont get it. They will never get it. This is the 3 to fidel role and d. S. Can now, since the started the panoramic cuba has suffered from a serious crisis, not only in health care, but also in economics, a lack of food and an Energy Crisis due to a breakdown of some power plants. All of this, according to analysts, has provided fertile ground foR The groups, the people organizing protests against the government. Earlier i spoke with political analyst, chris bambrick, and he thinks democracy is not americas actual goal. Theyre paying every point of life in terms of shortages, etc. And the model ways, of course, sanction regime is what happened in iraq, where essentially the Decade Plus Expansion was used to store for up to damage the iraqi economy to we can iraq in preparation for american invasion. No, the americans are not going to invade cuba. But they do hope to wreck the economy to help the economy, and they do how that will spark demonstrations and a bigger scale even what were seeing. Just note that its not a whole, but what we also must remember as well, is that america does not go around the world toppling regimes as it did in iraq, afghanistan, to impose democracy. Were still waiting foR That and ive gotten this done and affected were in iraq. Many cubans of welcome some of the concessions should be made in opening up small businesses and so on. Their welcome, the open up of cuba to europe to Canada And Other Countries are in the world. But of course, this is not enough foR The americans. And of course, we know there are well financed cuban ex, now groups in miami, in florida. And i was waiting to exploit any on any on reg, reviving the spirit of Neo Nazis Segregation in europe. Thats how russia slammed calls by Frances Europe Minister for e. You states not to use vaccines developed in russia and china. We can do france for such discriminate restatements by its high ranking representative, which of the spirit of neo nazi segregation in europe. It is not foR The french foreign ministry to dictate the country and people were jeff they should be vaccinated with obviously the french foreign ministry. Curtain as the country has not been able to develop its own vaccine. We sympathize with francis failure. The vast majority of European Countries recognize only these 4 vaccines as of france and only 3 countries are differently. I regret the greece. Does this. Ministers regret referred to athens letting in tourists who had russian or chinese shots. Reese also requires a Coven Test for entry, is far from the only european country, the green light, moscow sport, and agree, in addition to the likes of hungry and flow, vakio in San Marino has been using it for months, and now has almost 0 new cases. The land said medical journal recently published a study on elderly people there, which showed few side effects in those who get the shot. There were also no safety concerns or fatalities reported, and great politicians said discriminating against Rushes Jab makes no sense. I think that we should avoid that as daily cost any kind of vaccine the Nationalism Vaccine must consider as a public who enter global and in my understanding, the biggest challenge is how to vaccine or see this is where were not, were not asking you to be on campus, where we can afford to have our own vaccine and faithful in that vaccine agencies. If people are in africa, the people in, in india, exactly because of the damages of law. But we will never be safe if only as the seasons of the lets say that better off county will be until the rest will be less than that. And then i must stress that, lets say that greece was to accept the french position. That would be, that would be a little bit ridiculous from the point of view of that hunger ariens are having sputnik vaccinations. So we would allow on gary and was put nic vaccination coming into greece. Free preview without any, without any otheR Tests and discriminating on russians coming in from moscow, we spoke with nick vaccination, which does make sense reporters have broken into the Georgia Parliament Building to protest the killing of a Camera Man by anti gay activists. The journalist are reported to have the parliamentary Speaker Seat or demanding a meeting, the law makers and the resignation of the government. A week ago writers protested a Po L GB G March schedule by accurate and the Camera Man was found dead afteR The. During the the the, the the author in Russia Analyst Martin mccauley told us politics is deeply involved in the issue in georgia. And that the country is now split in various ways. It is a country which is profoundly conservative and therefore be march. The Pride March was a red rag to a boon its rumored. Indeed because the government is almost fragile. Georgia Government Jewelry for a job because the very trans event groups in georgia find it difficult to come together and stay together and agree compromises. And therefore georgia is split various ways. Politics is about power and the groups which are out of power want to have. And they want to reduce those who have to, im very, very weak government for very, very weak states. So they can take over politics deeply and go up suddenly about the Pride March and their g. P. Deeper when hes been seized by those who want to achieve poweR To weaken the government and become more powerful themselves. In other news, a hidden Hunger Pandemic could turn out to be worse than anything cove. It has dealt the world. Thats the warning from oxfam. It says, 11 people are dying of starvation globally every minute. While 155000000 people are apparently facing crisis levels of food insecurity. The charity is also published a series of harling 1st hand accounts of women struggling to feed their children. I can secure a good quality 14 for my children. Therefore i feel guilty and i feel that no matter how much im trying, i still need to do more. I had to look for solutions. I can go hungry, but the boy cannot. I even dared. I dared allure to go back for food because i could endure hunger. It hurts me. Im out of videos on what to do with children. Im not eating properly. And i sometimes feel like im not raising the boil enough. Most of the time, we have little to nothing treat. I struggle to get my children to sleep at night. They ask for food and i tried to distract. Im telling them stories until theyre asleep. Then i look at them and pray for a better life until i get stolen by sleep. Ok, sam listed climate change armed conflicts, and the economic impact of the corona virus. Pandemic is the driving forces behind the crisis with locked downs and the closure of borders. And businesses only making matters worse foR Those already disadvantaged, but the head of humanitarian policy, it oxfam, matthew, trust, god told us, there are other factors as well. We have to understand what from and actually means to people on the ground. I mean, its extraordinarily serious with knowing that 100 figures were increasing. We predicted last year, the tension going to get was a to see how bad its got. Genuinely shocking. We have to make sure that people are able to get vaccine. So its not just going to the rich countries because we have to also restart the economies and put a country for me. There are 3 key things we have the dream. Firstly, on files and piece. The 2nd is we have to stop boring policies from blocking the monetary and 8. We cannot have a situation where parties is using hunger as a weapon of war. And finally, of course, Funding Funding is crucial. It will get people to help if they need. I think we also need to look at the kind of Safety Net that, that some of the richer countries have, where the poor countries turned off the Worlds Population have no access to social security, no Safety Net. So when they see a shock like this, theres just no way to recover from overcoming the crisis through vaccination is also an issue as the un general 2nd, secretary general warns about the gap between developed and developing nations in terms of access to vaccines, oxfam health policy, advisor and mary, i told ouR Team is going underground, said Vaccine Nationalism is a major problem.

And the reality is that the nations would be a speaking needed now, because we are seeing the brakes rising from the country, but theyre not going to fix this crisis to be back. We actually need the g 7 countries to box the listing of the patients on the back in the science and know how can be shed throughout. Well, we can get more qualified to manufacturers making them run production. Thats the only way that were going to get back to back to make everybody. And we havent seen a Side Stream by being inequality, but not only putting lives at risk in many of the poorest countries in the world, but is actually continuing to be a threat for all of the heartbreak spelled over into violence on the streets of london.

Meanwhile in afghan stan itself, thousands have been forced to abandon their homes. As the taliban continues its offensive. Ill village were surrounded by the taliban. There is nothing we can do to tell them captured our homes. We have been displaced. We are facing such just the moment, my children live by the road. What should we do .

Take a look at another waR Torn country thats been down a similar path that somalia us troops arrived there in the late 2 thousands to fight terrorism and ended up staying there nearly 15 years. However, by the same time, by the time they pulled out at the start of this year, it would be difficult to say stability had been achieved. Only this weekend. An explosion in the capital of mogadishu reportedly killed at least 9 people, an injured 8 others. It was the 2nd major explosion in the city this month, and the also Bob Extremist Group claimed responsibility with more on whether a somalian scenario could now be repeated in afghanistan. Heres more Id Gas do to malia wasnt libya or a rock, and it wasnt a prosperous nation that the us invaded and left a wreck.

There are different political factions. And so, one day, one faction will have the upper hand. And the next day, another faction will have the upper hand. And you see that being played out in east africa, where we were told United States was pulling out of that part of the world. And now it appears there on the way back after 3 decades of unfair, fully and painfully beating its head against the very solid somalian war. The United States is apparently considering another round. Last year you may remembeR Truck pulled most jewish troops out of somalia while that potentially going back in the u. S.
