a vivid professional life kings pass no one. was also full of flat a brief fall from grace after accusations of grand larceny saw him walk as an announcer at a horse racing truck he was married 8 times to 7 women he went to the same bagel shop with his childhood friends every morning he reluctantly gave up smoking and red meat and even more reluctantly took up walking 4 miles a day he left voice mails for his assistance with what to post on his twitter and he had a flip phone until the very end. of your order that you have a flip phone. but with phenomenal success also came miss fortune king overcame a series of health scares and was stalked by enormous personal grief including the passing of 2 of his children within weeks of each other the very next day king sort solace in the place he called home the studio where he stayed until the very last

for the release of the opposition activists alexina valley just behind me here is the situation right now in the northern city of st petersburg 6 minutes past 8 pm in the evening sizeable police turned out in force indeed across the country and over dozens of arrests were made. was. was. was was. alexina folly was detained last weekend on his arrival from germany for violating the terms of his parole in question has been reporting from the rally in central moscow here's his file it is getting

a little bit hectic because the police special forces have begun at least their initial attempts to clear out this square which has been completely packed for about an hour now so people have been trying to escape the security forces through this corner as well we managed to keep our vantage point but though we're not sure how much longer we will be able to do that because there's a lot of people it's a huge crowd it's very very packed so it's difficult to let people through here and not be taken away with this a flood of protesters now it does feel like there's a good few 1000 people here although i haven't seen any official of figures as of yet and still how many people have showed up here in the heart of the russian capital and now there has been some movement also i'd sit quite snowy head in moscow right now so people have been actually throwing snowballs at police officers as they were detaining people because we have seen some detentions some scuffles

fighting between the protesters and the police and people who were taken and well taken into custody now when it comes to the police response so rather staying with that there's a constant message being played through a megaphone that is right over there coolly going to people to disperse saying that it is this. rally has not been authorized and also reminding people of the coronavirus situation here because obviously social distancing is not a thing here and in those even a police officer who was handing out masks at the very beginning of the protest have all of. you. my. life. in it with.

you. as a. band so you could hear that some people saw a surgical mask as a symbol of oppression from the authorities also also when it comes to the amount of people and to how they have been behaving in general they have been chanting slogans like shame or freedom calling on the release of alexina valley a prominent opposition figure here in russia also they've been calling for the resignation of the russian president vladimir putin which is a traditional a traditional thing a traditional chant during protests like this some some protesters also climb to these street lights and you could put you on the show if you can but you could probably see that they left their banners that. to the other side of the country

hundreds turned out earlier for an unsanctioned rally in flood level stock in russia's far east bringing the city center to a standstill police used force to disperse the crowd detaining dozens of protesters some of those taking part appeared to be in school children well under the age of 18 russia's ombudsman for children has denounced what she described as opposition to vis using youngsters as a human shield against the police similar scenes play about in the city of chita though on a smaller scale with a few 100 demonstrators taking part marches have been happening across the country with the main focus on moscow none of them had been authorized. a protest in the siberian city of crust new york the police tried to reason that some of the young corporal. was. right there he said. he was there to. battle.

the. forces will be. more. like i was. the russian foreign ministry house single dollar the u.s. for encouraging the protests with spokeswoman marie has a heart of highlighting how the american embassy and consulates in russia gave protesters instructions online. yesterday the u.s. embassy in moscow published routes of protests in russian cities and to an information about a march on the kremlin but was it the instruction even the organizers did not announce such perhaps you can imagine what would happen if the russian embassy in washington d.c. published a map of protest through syndicating to the end point for example in the capital. journalist eva bartlett who reported on the large opposition protests in moscow in

20 dean says today's policing hasn't been as intense as what she's witnessed in other countries surprised to see that protesters were convened in the square in pushkin square and chanting interior for a good hour and a half before the police took any measures to clear the square when they did that they did it in waves the approaching of forming a line and generally pushing the crowd back i did see baton steam used but i did not see the kind of excessive violence that i would soon in protest for example in trance you know you just have the backing of the west so i think that that we will see more protest in the usual attempts to paint scenes of chaos in russia paint scenes of you know mass dissatisfaction in the country and the one thing i noticed with the protests and 29000 and today there are a lot of young people on the one hand you could command young people for being politically aware which is strange to me because at that age you don't really have

a political awareness so it seems like children might be being used in these in this political game in order to paint to the western world. in other headlines stories today 3 muslim federations in france have refused to buy a president mccollum's extremism charter he's been toting it as a way to fight radical islam we regret that this charter was signed before getting the approval of all components of the french council of the muslim faith we believe that some passages and wordings of the submitted text are of a nature that will weaken the ties of trust between the muslims of france and the nation in addition some of these declarations infringe on the honor of muslims exhibiting an accusatory and marginalizing character. however a number of other muslim federations did sign up to the charter after intense drawn out discussions the project inflation's

a new national council responsible for vetting and moms practicing in the country it rejects polarized brands of islam and reaffirms equality between men and women islamist terror reared its ugly head again in france just 3 months ago a teacher was beheaded for showing his class cartoons of the prophet muhammad during a lesson on freedom of speech. on the park in patridge was the victim of an islamist terror attack. establishing islam is a religion that is in crisis today all over the world we don't just see it in our country. the will of the islamists is precisely to turn our citizens against the

republic using their religion and we cannot let that happen. the gruesome attack on some your party triggered a crackdown against extremists mosques and islamist associations that we heard from secular he is the president of the paris based islamic confederation which is against mccrone charter we asked them why. some only look at that humans we disagree on a number of matters one being the group this charter was to be addressed to at the beginning it was about drafting the choco republican principles of the national council of so it was supposed to concern mosques here we find ourselves with a charter of principles of islam and france and if they do it's to make the proper distinctions drawn many paragraphs anyway asking muslims explicitly to. clarify their position on subjects that are all this subjects that they have respected for years and years that don't pose any problems for them as for the principles of the

french republic the french people of the muslim face in this country and surrounded stand in respect of the values of the french republic that to gauge us all we do not have to ask them explicitly to measure their religious convictions to prove how respectful they are to the values and principles of the french republic it is certain that the ra and to muslim pacts we call that islamophobia we're not going to get into semantics we have a commission called fight against islamophobia so we call it that the reason deeds and then chris and these acts especially in light of current events now i also don't want to say the result institutionalized islamophobia in france i really think the teleconferences doing its best to fight against and to muslim acts against islamophobia but that does not mean that these kinds of acts are not increasing. post membership reality or just an overly officious jobsworth after the break we hear from

a british ex-pat who had his groceries seized this. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race in. very dramatic development only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down and talk.

now is the following a taste of things to come after britain recently left the european union or britain living in spain working in the u.k. controlled enclave of gibraltar as how this shopping bag emptied by spanish border guards he was forced to leave behind much of its contents at the border. usually you just walk straight through well they might be out check it out call tobacco whatever. they. showed them a bag and they they took the time to look for

a little bit more caffeine than we normally day and they started back probably this night pulling everything out after checking a few items they basically just told me that the majority of this you can't take through because it has processed vegetables on it and saying that they were going to essentially just put them in the vent for the confiscation also officially in keeping with the e.u. travel guidelines that prohibits travelers from bringing meat dairy products and process vegetables from nonmember states among the things that got the mom into trouble was processed onions and spicy sauce he tried to make the best of a bad situation though benchley selling the bread but it products a loss on line and think it's reasonable i had a brief conversation with one of the guards in the in the office that made my point if i can take these items it seems to me that would be more like a large quantities not for snow items and there was no documentation to support

a fact at least my knowledge of the sign that i can take these things over so. if this is already happening in the 1st week after breakfast then yeah really anticipate a few a few other issues. as it stands going forward i think at the moment we're still in there is actually having to negotiate an agreement with spain due to us being left out of the brits g.'s my surroundings and some things i was going through the time for just moving around a lot i didn't get. a really wish i had had i voted as a set of really wish i had i would have stood with the 9097 percent of gibraltar that chose to remain because that i didn't really see any benefit whatsoever for us to leave the european union. meanwhile or rather as broken eyed to after the use ambassador to britain was denied full diplomatic status london insists it's not

obliged to treat representatives of international bodies the same as foreign diplomats working for nation states unless london changes tack the new ambassador will be able to get approval by the queen head of a diplomatic mission the u.k.'s decision is at odds with the way the blocks representatives are treated in most other countries london's move doesn't sit well with brussels we are not done nationally and in addition we have the union i think it would be vice in my view to for do you could to find. what britain's foreign office has tried to smooth things over stating that the use representative will receive quote the privileges and immunities necessary to carry out their work in the u.k. effectively or for political commentator jonathan fryer believes that london's approach could backfire. i think this is a really sad position that the british government has taken because after all we were members of the european union for nearly 50 years and brags that apparently is

not enough they now want to downgrade the status of the european union and all that more than $100.00 families to come trees around the world give full diplomatic privileges to the dunes under the vienna convention and this is a situation that these land a decision now with the government surrounded by cabinet ministers who support this nationalistic break z.t. airline which is actually going to toe championing britain's global role as he would see it diminishing britain's role in the international stage if we want to have a good working relationship with the 27 neighbors who are our main trading partner has taken as a whole we really need to have a much more. grown up as you to do all of this. let's stay in the country to a story that's got a lot of people talking

a british university plans to drop some of english literature is most classical historical works to open up a more diverse and quote decolonized curriculum modules or race and sexuality will replace medieval text like child cers canterbury tales or wolf the university has rejected claims that it's sidelining works for being too white we are currently considering some proposed changes to our english program and we're consulting with staff as part of these discussions the university of leicester continues to offer students a broad program of learning at undergraduate level including a chronological span of english literature from shakespeare to burn a dean everest alongside him it's creature of an author different modules. leicester university graduate and poet rory waterman believes students need access to the full range of literature and history of their country a.c.t writes is he still relevant and yes he's the father of english next year in my with the fact

that he wrote a long time ago to make him irrelevant may still an inspiration to write his now there are blockbuster adaptations a barrel to another med able to next 3 to one stuff and if you think many rich tunes just sort of the gods they are in god obsessed with those talking jibberish and you just study my what you missing me don't want you talking about is this you know it's not elites a state it's history it's our history and how can they way you are how can you know way of caring if you don't really being a main concern is less the university has a good reputation rightly say it isn't one of the very early inverse d's and it mainly attracts state school students and it's rats were being averse to like that teaching a full range of english literature don't know students decide to learn about wonderful history in the church from the past i think i think they'd say lester's marketing slogan used to be elite without being elitist it isn't very latest to help ensure that the study of medieval issue is only available to people who go to

a tiny number of of elite institutions i understand how it works universities have a really serious obligation say to discuss things like race and class and gender and to provide employee abilities are preaching to the students i guess if students at the universities that we traditionally regard ass our lady institutions won't be taking many modules focused on employability they'll be learning about the subjects they've signed up to study. google is threatening to pull that services out of astraea if the country goes ahead with plans to force tech giants to help support new cyclists by paying them royalties. the principle of honor strict and linking between websites is fundamental to search and coupled with the unmanageable financial and operational risk if this version of the kind were to become law it would give us no real choice but to stop making google search available in

australia if the plan gets the go ahead from lawmakers it would oblige firms like google and facebook to pay a streaming media outlets for linking to their content if google news organizations fail to agree on the price a special arbitration panel would be called in to make a binding decision even though google dominates australia's internet search market the country's authorities say they won't yield to threats. to strive you makes our rules for things you can do in a strike that's done in our parliament it's done by our government and that's how things work here in australia and people who want to work with that in australia you're very welcome but we don't respond to threats. political analysts in america venture expect similar run ins elsewhere because of the enormous amount of power wielded by the world's biggest tech firms. we've seen how powerful in the us elections these big companies are and the big if you can you wait till powerful

we don't realize sometimes that a company like google has represented 90 percent of the research the search engine costs today on the market day power 75 percent of the who are mobile the mobile devices 60260000 searches are go through google every 70 seconds in the wall they are extremely powerful they influence people they can influence elections and. we got to be careful because a b because of that ad and out of a lot of people are starting to wake up and understand how powerful these companies are and not only because they're making a lot of money but because they have an influence on society so i think there should be there will be more clashes and i hope that there will clashes because in any case whatever they're doing with this money they have to give back to the communities on which they're building their profits and that's just normal you can't. talk about us being the citizen company and advocating walk ideas

a day in day out and then avoid paying taxes thanks to calls in a national office that's just something which is absurd i think this thieves do that and not normal of confidence. do join me again in 30 for all the updates on a busy saturday and in the meantime more great programs get their start in moments stay close this is our to. this week a softball like absolutely awful 1st game code then a 2nd wave is coming now the virus is mutating one walk 2 blocks away from the apartment and i would get confused as to holiday gifts not. meanwhile patients who

recovered from covert started to report some unusual after effects the symptoms were different but. my hearing has been ok i think. one of the things red flag research is all over the world are trying to determine the many aches pains and other problems and then turn it all into numbers showing my hair. you appear to be 1113 there this is throughout the day my hair just. various sources reports that didn't just leave a 35 percent of recovered patients. so you don't look as the bush white. house there have been many complaints of peril vision loss joint pain and fatigue in the u.s. these patients are referred to as post coded long holos i talked to multiple doctors and my doctor and they said we have a feeling that you're going to have a hard time in recovery you're going to be one of those people that they consider

a long haul or.
