angels on al-jazeera. al-jazeera. al-jazeera. hello i'm adrian for getting this is that he is live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes keeping donald trump off facebook an oversight board upholds his suspension but the former u.s. president could yet get the thumbs up to return to the platform. a warning that india will likely face a 3rd wave of covert 19 as the army is called up to help boost oxygen supplies. a

rush to beat a travel ban we look at in today's his latest move to stop the spread of covert. at a national strike in colombia anti-government demonstrations which started as a protest against a tax hike turned into a movement against inequality and i'm paestum it with today's main sports news as indian premier league organizers frantically try to repatriate players and officials off to the tournament was suspended indefinitely. donald trump's banned from facebook will remain in place for now the tech firms oversight board has upheld his suspension facebook banned the former us president 4 months ago after he was accused of inciting supporters marched on the capitol building in january some praised the company's decision while others accused it of

censorship of applying double standards to world leaders let's get more on this now from al-jazeera particle haim who's live for us in washington d.c. patty talk us through the facebook oversight board thinking it. well the oversight board just to put this out there is 20 people there different diplomats lawyers academics and mark zuckerberg said it was sort of like their supreme court facebook supreme court so they've been looking at whether or not it was right for facebook to suspend the account of donald trump while he was in office this was as you mentioned because of what they saw as inciting violence and spreading misinformation in the run up and during the insurrection at the u.s. capitol on january 6th so this board has been looking at this and they said that facebook can continue to suspend his account but there's a cab they have to review it in the next 6 months they said facebook never had a policy of permanently deleting or or banning somebody from their account so that

they need to put policies in place that match that and that are proportional so he's still off facebook and instagram for now and that does he did have a lot of followers he had 35000000 followers on facebook 24000000 followers on instagram so he's still silent their platforms for now but it will be reviewed within 6 months the president might have seen this former president might have seen this coming he launched a website just yesterday on those statements you can post those to facebook and twitter but he cannot post there still there was a board backed facebook suspension of donald trump but to what extent was this a slap on the wrist for facebook. well i think that facebook is going to be facing a lot of pressure because of this decision wordy seen prominent conservatives go on conservative media say 'd this is more proof that social media censors conservative voices not liberal voices and even democrats have said that they think facebook and

instagram google and they're all just too big they're going talk and hearings in congress saying that they are monopolies in that they need to be broken up so facebook trying to basically thread the needle here 'd saying that this is an independent board keep in mind it's funded by a grant post paid by facebook but they're trying to thread the needle and we'll see what the repercussions are for them as the congress looks to regulate them even further i was there a particular haina live for us in washington the party many thanks indeed joe madison is a social media and technology analyst he joins us now live from new york jim. what do you make of this i want to say ruling but of course it's i mean it's not of course it's an oversight board it's an opinion isn't it. it is i might take is i think the oversight board passed its 1st big test you know one of the real questions we call we like to call it the facebook oversight board but if you look at it closely it's actually not the facebook oversight board it's just the oversight board it was created by facebook founded staffed and funded by facebook

but they clearly need to try to create some separation and i think they did that here they came up with a nuanced decision you may or may not agree with it but it certainly was a loss for former president trump in that he's not not on facebook right now and held this decision this silver lining if you will for former president trump is that they did come back i think quite accurately and say facebook you invented this concept called an indefinite ban but you never defined what indefinite was and you need to do better than that and that's what they gave facebook 6 months to try to resolve all right so the so to what extent of the oversight board barely passed the buck back to facebook to sort out the mess. well i don't think they did that actually they said and then they very clearly justified why the ban was granted and they up held the actual band where they quibbled and where they send it back to facebook was they said you can't just say it's indefinite either ban him permanently or tell him you'll let him back on in some period of time and maybe

more importantly create some rules around that you can't just wake up one tuesday and remember this in this concept of an indefinite ban that came at the time of the insurrection you know it was a very troubled time there was a lot going on and these decisions were made very very quickly and i honestly think facebook came up with this concept of an indefinite ban because it's vague right now indefinite nobody knew what that meant including facebook and the oversight board quite rightly has a facebook you need to tighten that down you need to come up with an answer of what indefinite really means but they did a poll the band that don't overlook the fact that they are held in the board also made recommendations on what to do if political leaders violates the platform's community guidelines saying that while the same rule should apply to all use this context massa's that heads of state and high government officials could have a greater powers of course homme than you and i that's kind of stating the obvious though isn't it. it is stating the obvious but i think that's the kind of nuance we want to say from rulings like this and i think the supreme court analogy is an interesting one that mark zuckerberg is it's not accurate in many ways because you

know the supreme court you know has a lot of connotations that don't apply but but you want these people to look at these cases and recognize that these are some of the thorniest issues we face free speech versus hate speech what's the standard for a public leader versus what's the standard for you and me i think we all acknowledge that those things are different and to your point we do you know sort of state the obvious there but what you want them to do is not just state the audit obvious but recognize that and then incorporate that into thoughtful nuanced decisions that can then help move the conversation forward can provide guidance back to facebook and can also provide guidance to people including world leaders about what can you do what can't you do and what might get you banned from facebook under what circumstances as you said it looks as though the board has passed its 1st test is this going to be enough to put kate facebook's detractors those who argue that facebook should be broken up. no of course not it will definitely not placate them but i will say you know we will see

a criticism of the oversight board's decision as they were already saying it from conservatives and i understand that right you've got a point of view and you may not like that decision just like you might not like certain supreme court decisions but i will say that every bit of criticism that's directed at the oversight board is a bit of criticism that's not being directed at facebook so in many ways i think this really looks like a quite a smart move that mark zuckerberg and facebook you know had the foresight to understand look these are really incredibly difficult issues you're going to be criticized no matter what you do we should create a quasi independent board and then try to make it more independent i think is actually in facebook's interest for the oversight board to become even more independent because then it can absorb more criticism but none of that is going to make the criticism of facebook or big tech go away and i think and i trust which is what you're alluding to is still going to be a substantial topic of conversation for years to come really good stewardship jim many thanks indeed jim anderson the c.e.o. of social flow in new york.

a 3rd wave of covert 19 seems inevitable in india that's the warning from a scientific advisory board the country is experiencing a 2nd wave of struggling to contain the virus the prime minister is on the pressures were imposed a national lockdown as laura but many reports. when wrote down a guy will decide to be a doctor he didn't expect to have to choose who lives and who dies a year before completing his medical training at the age of 26 he's in charge of new delhi's holy family hospital emergency room on the night shifts with a shortage of beds oxygen and ventilators he has to make heartbreaking decisions. in the resealed the marchese opinion might make but that we're just human. at this point of saying we're being told to do this it's really hard to figure out that and

i just want to be a nod for all to be about the fact that i can just be collect myself. there have been calls for a national lockdown with india hitting another record number of kids at 900 cases more than 300000 every day for the past fortnight we have never seen a pandemic of this size and scale and definitely a pandemic that that stresses the infrastructure not only in towns or basics but in terms of manpower are. many criticize prime minister nuri andhra modi for allowing state elections to take place thousands of people gathered for rallies and to vote sparking a records search in new code 900 cases. people open about elections now. democratic countries don't stop elections in

a place that the only time i remember. was which you know. some decades ago the government says it's providing $6700000000.00 to boost a vaccination drive and with critical shortages of oxygen in the country the indian army is setting up oxygen generation plants in new delhi and neighboring states in 1008. 100 this plant can generate a 1000 liters of oxygen per minute this will operate continuously so wherever such plants will be installed those hospitals will not have to depend on suppliers anymore but medical workers like rouhani a call will continue to feel the pressure might be even steeper would have to be made before they can because i can tell them all this if. they can make people maybe even give my until the country can bring down the number of crude of ours cases he will continue working shifts sometimes 27 hours long for

a health care system of the church of collapse nor about him on the outs with iran india's coronavirus crisis is now affecting the 1st face to face meeting in 2 years of foreign ministers from around the world's wealthiest industrialized nations 2 of india's diplomats have tested positive so it's dedication is taking part in the g. 7 summit in london from the hotel rooms let's go live now to. outside the g 7 the venue in london may have some awkward questions being asked about how these diplomats got into the u.k. with such a strict testing regime in place that. and given of course that india is on the red list of countries meaning that it is illegal to travel to india all from india but there are of course exceptions for people on special business and for diplomats as well which is why it's believed these 2 individuals have been able to test positive for corona virus we can't say

for certain that they contract it before they came war may be that they contracted it while over here but what we do know is that when they had to go undergo mandatory testing for covert 19 to be able to attend the meeting here in lancaster house that's when they tested positive so they didn't actually make it to the site of the meeting meaning that the implications for them spreading it to all the delegates is somewhat low nevertheless there has been some type coronavirus protocol in place throughout this summit as there will also be for the finance ministers g. 7 summit and the leaders summit in june as well this includes the wearing of monetary marks of as i mentioned daily coronavirus testing social distancing as well fewer meetings with between delegates gathering in the room together many of them meeting behind per specs greens these get the kind of things that are in place nevertheless what it does show is that although here in western europe particularly

the u.k. the feeling is that we're coming to the tail end of this pandemic is an indicator that in other parts of the world particularly india the crisis is very much there in the full throes if india is in the g 7 country what's it doing at the meeting in the 1st place. no idea isn't but along with several other countries that has been invited here to take part in bilateral meetings with g 7 countries many of those other nations that have been invited here are from the indo-pacific region that is where the likes of the u.k. in the united states are shifting their foreign policy gaze for 2 regions reasons really for india it's regarded very much the strong potential trade partner particularly for the u.k. post also india pays a key role in its proximity to china and helping the u.s. and the u.k. contain more is regarded as an increasingly assertive or somewhat aggressive china

in the words of the u.s. secretary of state antony blinken but it is somewhat ironic that india was here also to ask for support in tackling the cove in $1000.00 crisis in the country formed she 7 countries coronavirus was discussed here including the need to distribute vaccines fairly across the globe it is ironic also that many g 7 countries were very quick to stockpile many vaccines and are now being accused of a pocket c for not doing more to get those vaccines disabused to those countries that need the most are serious move back of their lives for us in london leave many thanks strayer's prime minister is resisting pressure to lift a temporary ban on flights from india saying that it will continue for at least another 10 days scott morrison says astray or has become delivering humanitarian aid to india and that he's not concerned about the travel ban damaging relations between the 2 countries. to die the humanitarian support the very significant

working underground to oppose the military but hopes this new force to stop the violence will than 700 people have been killed in a brutal crackdown since ability coup in february. more than 200 non-governmental agencies are calling for the u.n. to impose on all muslim boggo on the i'm all for warm up let's bring in i'm serious kristen salumi is at the u.n. headquarters in new york what else of these organizations saying grissom well $200.00 of these non-governmental organizations got together and what they're saying is that more pressure is needed to bring an end to the violence there this is the most pressing issue before the security council according to them one on which the international community thus far has really failed to act i should say that the security council has met on the situation in myanmar at least 5 times but most of those meetings have been behind closed doors in the situation is only

appearing to get worse the organizers of this statement said that they've seen conditions on the ground deteriorating that u.n. secretary general has said as much more than 40000 people have been to be displaced since december and nearly 800 of them have died so with all of that as the background and now the creation of this people's defense force also seeming to ramp up the pressure pressure and escalate the situation on the ground there saying it's time for the security council to act and they're calling for an arms embargo they say that should be the minimum that the security council does in order to bring an end to the violence there or and so how is the u.n. of the security council likely to respond. well we've spoken to diplomats on the council many of them share the grave concern about the situation in myanmar with these n.g.o.s as tony one of the nonpermanent members of the security council has gone so far as calling for this resolution the

drafting of a resolution with an arms embargo in it. but what we're hearing from other diplomats is that soft pressure is likely to continue they're trying to continue with patient negotiations use their influence to support that's the association of southeast asian nations that's been leading the reconciliation efforts in me and mar so far all the statements from the security council have been in support of these regional efforts and what one diplomat told us is a divided security council it will help no one that's reference i think to the fact that china has said very openly that it does not support sanctions it says that should always be a last resort the ambassador said as much just a couple days ago here at the united nations and the concern is that a resolution would not be able to advance because of that opposition but what we're

hearing from these groups is that the situation is now dire enough that it needs to be more pressure put on china and at least hold an open meeting on the situation to do anything else they say is the diplomatic equivalent of shrugging your shoulders and just walking away christine salumi live at the u.n. in new york but he thanks christine. emmanuel mccall has become the 1st french president in more than 2 decades to commemorate the death of the polian boat apos is a live pictures from pops through him in paris across is set to lay a wreath to mark the 200th anniversary of his death it follows months of debate over the podiums legacy in the wake and recent protests of the polian bonaparte is seen as something of a divisive figure in france it came to power in 171009 and dominated european affairs from all the decade he's widely revered as a military genius and boston administrator he created the legal code the high

school system and central bank which laid the basis for post revolutionary france but some see him as a colonizer a warmonger and in slaver at 18 o 2 he restored slavery by decree in the french caribbean and reunion black historians say the napoleon's links to slavery remain unaddressed in france which still grapples with its colonial past the crowd is the 1st french president to all the napoleon's death in more than 2 decades thomas is a political scientist he joins us now live from paris via skype could have you with us tell us where do you stand on the podium but apart. well. the interesting thing would be to just look at the facts stage a coup against. revolutionary france make it a military dictatorship for his own profit yes it did. want one the full minutes are extraordinary military conqueror wonderful extraordinary news trying to

oh yes it was to want a while longer not exactly in fact it was in the so of defense if i may in every case except the spain war in spain and war in russia all the all the situation it was in fact attacked by a group and not yet that you know 3. all the things yes it did restart wish every including the entrenched ronnie's while the french revolution initially abolished it so all that is true which means that it was all in the same person so. many things to many different people in france but on the 200th anniversary of his death is it worth actually debasing the issue now or is it a complete waste of time. well i would say 1st that i have

a problem with cheri beginning i mean. if you want to speak about such an important historical figure you have to take all main things into account and not say just he was the what we established every or just oh he was a great wonderful many to regina's you have to take the world back edge otherwise it's intellectually dishonest that would be my 1st point and then yeah i absolutely think thank you for this question i absolutely do think it is an absolute waste of time i mean we're facing a worldwide great recession and a gigantic and in a crisis and we waste time to know if not putting but i bought was a wasn't about yeah right it's it's you know really if it's absurd when you think about it so as president. right to be marking napoleon's death today i hesitate to say honoring because he's not exactly doing that is he

well i would say you're right i would say he marked. this anniversary we've all of the senate writing the character historical figure in him so. i would say that was the right thing to do. and you know it's a fact now but i'm going up about what a very important historical figure in france and in fact i would have to say that i have a problem with the very much the very basic basic idea to judge with contemporary modern stand out what someone did or didn't do 20 more than 2 centuries ago i think it goes against logics if you reason that you have to get rid of your and your history well all count trees in the world of think about it and i think it lacks not equal common sense. thomas. with the

country's links to slavery still unaddressed though used coming back to a point you made earlier about this being a waste of time initially that particular aspects of of the polian past should peeping address should be because because it is an issue that is so affecting the country right now well. i would respect to disagree with that because in fact. 3 we. well. we. we are the book creation the french book nation almost all of us those who are slaves in a way are not another during the middle age or medieval times or during the goings ation so if you go that way with that rezoning. book our own gentry has to be apologizing on a permanent basis to every so almost every single person in the book you know should the french one and you know you shouldn't do that would have to approach

your eyes to most countries in the world we can have that. kind of approach about our past but maybe maybe it lacks some complex your own textual perspective and i would be i would say that from a strictly interaction point of view but what we need of course would be to address the fact that slavery was wrong and we all right that you know educational system and we also have a primary day about remembering slavery as a crime we know that in france you know every year we have commemoration day so we have that commemoration day we don't need in addition to that to speak about such issues other commemorations that would be my point of view ok thomas but still too many thanks indeed thomas can only the political scientists live in paris. the
