series leads to criticism about attempts to rewrite history we debate the issue. wrecking the wrong black people living systematically disenfranchised from participating in other new african queens if you could wave a white queen. used to use a whole lot more besides you're welcome to our to international my names you know neal if your company. fallout from the acquittal of donald trump seen democrats point the finger of blame of a quote cowardly group of republicans while some g.o.p. party members themselves are wanting to impeach the new president joe biden so is the courtroom growing 0 for american politics you've been looking into.

donald trump no he's the most acquitted president in the u.s. history and no one worked harder to win him the title than the democrats and the realization is doing on them but what we saw in that senate today was that cowardly group of republicans who patently have no options because they were afraid to defend their job respect the institution in which they served. the senators have decided to hang their hat on jurisdictional grounds which are not based on evidence which are not based on the facts and they will have to be. a ballistic meltdown is not something you'd expect to hear from a party whose candidate won the presidential election a democrat ego side which even stung through joe biden's psyche and it'll take more than a few cute white house lawn decorations to heal that wound what was meant to be

a tool of checks and balances system transcended into one party's vendetta against a political opponent the order call of the pietschmann now before the senate is an unjust and blatantly unconstitutional of political vengeance i hope i will be proven wrong but it seems that impeachment based on partisan differences seems to be becoming the norm not the exception well hope against hope all you want but impeachment articles against joe biden were filed less than 30 hours into his presidency it is the norm but when it comes to trump hate his impeachment is the least they want for him some would much rather see him swinging from the gallows and if you dare to defend them oh boy your personality will be reduced to being a racist a white supremacist a traitor there are reports your house was graffitied. my

entire family my business my law firm are under siege right now it's also feared now that after impeachment humiliation take 2 never trumpeters along with the democratic chums simply won't let their grudge against the former president slide one of the most bizarre goings it's happened senator tim kaine of virginia my own state senator has proposed. the democrats since they have never been able to introduce a shred of evidence to implicate the president in any crime or misdemeanor what they should do is introduce a bill of attainder based over on the 14th amendment in which they could simply lay boat and punish and sort of convicted punish. tromp poor or whatever they want and they wouldn't have to go through all of the

business of a stab washing guilt or having proof or having due process this is the agent who despots like henry be a penguin who executed all of his own to be used with bills of attainder it just shows the desperation that they have and it also shows you know this is a former president who is not a sitting president and it shows the tremendous this year all fear of the democrats over this man trump may feel like he's out of the woods but with the dems now holding both the oval office and congress they have the power to drag him right back into the swamp. igor's to tell of taking us through the well the influence of major social media platforms on politics our personal life it's rarely been out of the headlines culminating really recently with the abounding of donald

trump's accounts and those of his supporters we spoke with the co-founder of the cyber security firm perske lob about the concept of private censorship and data safety on the net. well you're buying into just that you know the concept of private censorship by social media is kind of a myth in fact it doesn't exist because all those companies are totally state controlled is just that the u.s. has split and the media has found itself under the thumb of one party well the other didn't want to engage with the media in the same way for one reason or another it's still unclear why they didn't just set up their own outlets but the fact that their arms were twisted is obvious it's clear that severe measures taken by themselves one part of the country is censoring the other and the fact that this amazing step was taken a real breakthrough well actually trump has been blocked before but during the electoral process all the masks had been taken off already and when the election

campaign started the question was only who would win democrats or republicans the democrats wanted to win so badly that they didn't care about decency anymore. in other words shut so make no mistake all platforms collect as much data as they can and even buy it from other platforms too so from this point of view they're all alike i would take a variable approach to the issue of information people need to understand what kind of information they can safely share on the web in general you can say that on some platforms your data is better protected than on others but the information isn't safe from the platform itself therefore all platforms are absolutely identical from this point of view as they all try to collect data and profit from it because all these platforms have free registration they have the following one it is ation model they sell data analyze it proposed targeted advertising etc as for some

simple recommendations the easiest one to remember is not to do or publish anything on social networks you might regret it doesn't matter whether you're doing. just for your friends or just for one person once you upload this in full to in the electronic device or digital service you can consider it to be leaked it's easier than thinking that you're protected in the 1st place. ok moving the program all millin to a story that's got a lot of people talking to block lives matter activists have reportedly been charged with harassment and attempted assault the footage appears to show them attacking a trump supporting journalist who was covering the rally. i go to bed well there was some sort of going out the speaker was to the right for her car who were these reports was her body that truly she supports terribly that i do trust. that translates. as you can see with what

had happened to me it is very trying times initially when i saw they were harassing other journalists there and videographers and i went to stand with them as well and they they wanted everybody to be turning off their cameras with our 1st amendment rights which is freedom to the press and also being a public space i kept my camera on and i said now this is public space and i'm reporting the news so my camera will stay on and that's when they started attacking initially or being media and then the 2nd time they came around to attack me when they identified which media i was i feel that being conservative media is is now very physically threatening to journalists. well tara was covering the rally when demonstrators identified her as a conservative or worker a journalist also claims nearby police ignored her calls for help one point or protester even appears to be used nothe pay and her face. now in order for true

peace to occur you need to have people to have that simple discourse it's not it's not true peace when the other side is voices are shut off and so is it may give up a saga of unity or peace but it's act the detriment of you know $75.00 plus 1000000 americans who had voted and do support donald trump at the expense of basically shutting their voices out so that is not true unity when you're taking out your opponent it's not a fair fight america is descending into something that you know i would never have imagined to really experience in my lifetime i don't condone the violence that happened at the capitol and i can condemn them along with other republican conservatives because because terrorism and and and destruction and what is going on that has no place in america and i do feel that we are seeing more attacks and violence actually occurring from the left onto the right we see censorship that's going on and it's not even being. occur.

first pictures of emerged of british actress jodie turner smith english queen bolin in a new t.v. mini series the black woman will play the white monarch in a lava shot the petition and u.k. television the creators say they want to quote challenge conventions about the queen's life some however would it be ok therefore for a white person to play a block historical figure such as nelson mandela we'll hear some of the reaction that followed the casting of the actors. black people shouldn't portray white people in historical or white stories and vice versa we have our own stories it's not empowering it's silly so instead of making stories drawn through and intriguing lives of black historical figures across the world human to be producers are just going to keep casting black actors to play when people and color diversity in progress only a matter of time before martin luther king is splayed by dominic west. well

a similar clash of opinions emerged over a leading black character in the movie adaptation of the tree musketeers the french studio producing it says the musketeer name tolerable is loosely based on a real african prince who became the 1st black musketeer in france the original story of a alexandre dumas however doesn't include characters of african descent my colleague colin bray but the issue all for debate pick at the end of the day it just makes sense to have the actors portraying the people in a more realistic way we're talking about ambling the queen of england i mean this is not a black woman it would be the exact same thing if you hate chris pray the guy who plays captain america portraying tigers who it would make any sense at all i would be like ok come on let's get it more really the representation of that particular person in their real person in history let's make it a little bit more accurate shall we the textile is good in a vacuum however if we look at this from

a historical lens will remember things like movies likely appassionata and how they were told with elizabeth taylor as cleopatra who was very much a person of african descent and stories like jesus who is played by mel gibson also a person of african descent and so what we find is that historically everyone's been ok we're going to eat the the tower of white supremacy has been ok with the stories being told by white curators however it seems like there's some fragility issues happening will we it's him to tell the stories with actors based on their qualifications in their ability in you know their skill set versus just looking at the color of their skin and up and about cleopatra i mean i'm not necessarily just want to go around the world by a clear pattern was more of a greek a north african i mean africa is not just one place you get different parts of africa are you talking about north africa people like gadhafi who was a lab recently he does not look like you and me so clear patrick was more accurate

of the mediterranean and i kind of stove at that particular. van this woman who is clearly of african descent or caribbean descent whatever it is trying to portray the queen of england you don't think that when it comes to historical representation though the generations of moviegoers of being brought up on those films which will be regarded as classics and mustn't be interfered with in any way and we look back at them and you see these images of ancient roman of ancient greece and the embarrassingly white which just isn't true either is it so it's about time that that was redressed isn't it antony oh it will roma greece i mean it's not going to both sub-saharan africa roma groups is not to look absolutely me that's just a fact that you can say could be more racially ambiguous and that's why i mean come on in and pay as we can look at the past and say ok some of the movies are right best buy and there's courageous non-school reason have a rabbit in china over the pace in some of the movies where it's all the right this is kind of silly it's not about letting it pass it's about correcting the wrong

black people who have been systematically disenfranchised from participating in hollywood and not allowed to be in films across the board that's what we're attempting to correct in south to the end reimagine a world where a person who's black in plate any character pris the simply a queen and to see what that does for a young african-american girl to see a black woman play a queen that's what we're we're looking at this is filed are there no everything queens or are there no african queens that you could play a rabbit in a white queen. russia's ses brussels is deliberately destroying ties with moscow the foreign minister circle of rolf did say however he wants to develop mutually beneficial relations with europe but as ready for any scenario the tensions worsened in recent weeks over the case of political activist alexei navalny the whole quarter has the story. lover of seemed generally pessimistic about the current state of relations between russia and the european union after his meeting with the finnish foreign minister but he said that responsibility for

this actually live with brussels so let's take a listen to what exactly he said got accustomed to the framework of the relations between russia and the youth has been deliberately destroyed by brussels we must be a group of developments it's up to the e.u. to choose if they decide that relations must be rebuilt or reversed will also be ready food level statement comes on the backdrop of a general worsening of relations with europe last week the russian foreign minister said that moscow is ready to sever relations with europe if it deploys sanctions against it now these sanctions in question that brussels is considering of course are connected to the recent imprisonment of opposition activist aleksei nevaeh me who was arrested for violating parole and accuses the russian government of poisoning him now moscow denies any involvement in this but many e.u. officials are behind in of all news narrative things also didn't go so well after the euro the european union's foreign representative joe also borel visited russia

his return to the e.u. was greeted by a split european parliament with anti russian representatives calling for his resignation and others pushing for more reconciliation with russia so what we're seeing really is a situation in which officials can't come to a consensus about where to move forward from here. it is brewing within the european union ofter the bloc berated germany for closing its borders to austria the czech republic the move by berlin was part of its battle to stop the spread of new variants of cruel a virus but the explanation did not wash with its neighbors. for weeks but various minister president marcos sorta hasn't missed a single opportunity to take a pot shot at to roll these constant pusher it's of remarks of disgraceful and don't be fit a minister president that's not the way to treat neighbors the truth is that the virus cannot be stopped by close borders i think it's wrong to return to europe

with close breast like we had in march 2020 we're battling the mutated virus on the borders with the czech republic and more stria the e.u. commission should support us and not throw a spanner in the works with cheap suggestions while the introduction of border control tells cause massive traffic jams out the german check from tear or the restrictions that took effect on sunday german citizens truck drivers only are allowed to enter germany provided they test negative for chronic virus though they will still have to quarantine for at least 10 days on arrival west are bring in. a political commentator runs for his good to see usual germany of course is one of the champions of european integration the power behind it really but now they are shutting their borders could could berlin's latest move play into the hands of euro skeptics here do you think. look yes because it seems that i'm not and it became

a be demure or g.'s and i cannot judge whether their movies are reasonable or not from the centipede interview which it seems to me that that's a basic. aspect of summer and you have a country to close its border it's going to be closed temporarily it's going to be closed for people i mean people can close the border from what i understand in the test showing that they don't have the curve it that. i don't understand why they can't do that and when the european union says closing the border is not the way to prevent the spreading of the virus i simply don't understand you brothers are absolutely clueless in the views the developers will not come because they can be absolutely clueless that's true but i don't understand how they can say closing the bother doesn't stop the virus of course it does if it's good enough maybe they mean to say that closing this because they're still not in there is going to it's. not

going to stop the lawyers i don't know i'm not an expert on them and they are exposed they just have an infinite prejudice against more than us but that they're not as an all the sovereign states in the world as when i go to 900 state or to show a passport and a visa to go there that will descend in fable to russia and. publish i have to show that they're reading that if they even go to belgium i have to do my own counting because. there's been another issue here and you'll know there's been a lot of talk about unity but how does the response to the pandemic being equal uncoordinated across the block. that piece of fiction you obviously religion is a belief that we can build this you have been union and make it into a single county eventually but it doesn't seem to work that way does work for many years and they're created a common market and the canal and the european court of justice and the parliaments

but they haven't really had of unity in the sense that the different people in europe are still as different as they used to be the germans are not fans of french and italians etc and then there is a country between the these areas of the people to control their country their. family their all the us and this meat that will bring to build a european union that's really doing what it says that's when your mother they want . something i want even if it was possible and. i want people that's i think that the basic thing that we are different people and we have not changed was greater unity if you want to go in and i suppose what is happening it's when the pandemic is finally brought to heel do you expect relations among each member states to remain the same as they were before or is something fundamentally changed. because if you do no i don't think if you do your opinion is due mostly to the pandemic. well 1st of all the pandemic in is not under control

and if it gets under control then. the what will happen the main. thing the silage of the country you see this is you have these like belgium with the largest kid in the region yes 2 people and their constant conflict and discussion about how to deal with this country between the treaty and the french speaking out and in europe is the same thing with its 27 countries and then they will be problem and the dissolution of vaccine is inefficient and one cancer is to blame the other etc this is totally predictable and it comes on the fact that you want to create a county after officially with very different people ok john as always thank you very much. time on your thoughts political commentator speaking to us from paris and you. know it has been a decade since the bring made landfall in libya government protests grew into a full blown civil war there which led to a massive nato led military intervention in iraq as the examines the past 10 years

now in the north african country. 10 years ago the arab spring made its impact in libya back then libya was a wealthy country ruled by a strong man yes but rich and one of the most prosperous states in africa but people wanted more they wanted freedom democracy and they were willing to fight for it was. a good duffy held power for 4 decades he had outsmarted the intellectuals beat the easily missed to a pulp trash the liberals and ground down every rival he knew how to survive plus he had millions of people on his side.

of the. luan and i would look any of my grandfather's remains in here i would die with him as a mother that i didn't and so begad one of the 21st century's worst geo political calamities it was careless rather against brother towns and villages forward against gadhafi regiments and warlords guards and tribes juki it out hoover who controls the oil in the cities the roods and the ports and still good doth he wouldn't fool what ultimately led to his debit was his independence it was a pain in the backside for europe for america it wasn't that he was a dictator that he sponsored terror will that he suppress dissent look at saudi arabia obama crave close allies of the west was that he wouldn't play fetch

a given in the middle finger to sue many decades and gotten away. with it until macho 2011 we will deny the regime arms cut off its supplies of cash assist the opposition. and work with other nations to hasten the day when gadhafi leaves power. after what happened in iraq and afghanistan everyone was naturally a little concerned about nato rushing in guns blazing so they tricked the un they filed the resolution to establish quote a new flood exude in libya to protect civilians ugs they go to the proved they then said that gadhafi was the threat to civilians not just the jets q goggins blazing some of the 1st u.s. tomahawk missiles had been launched on libya we are at war once again and this 1st phase is to take out gadhafi air defenses we've just learned that the u.s.

has fired its 1st missiles at libyan air defenses nato conducted almost 10000 on libya dropped thousands and thousands of bombs that another late had proved gadhafi forces that were also killed dozens and dozens of civilians according to human rights watch gadhafi was eventually caught he was tortured and murdered right there new cool that new trial. that. we came we saw mary died and. she wasn't laughing when the same victorious rebels which she helped get rid of gadhafi stormed the american consulate the next year and mudded the u.s. ambassador that is perhaps when they finally realized what they had done it was

another rock another of cadmus star and the fires that they lit blood to the east day marks the end of a. chapter for the people of libya. every girl living in disaster disaster disasters for. libya. in chaos anarchy neutral thank you and jihad is wonderland this displacement and destruction is it fair to say libya was better off under gadhafi. 10 years at the endless war chaos war crimes today libya's g.d.p. is a 3rd of what it was in 2010 that's democracy school is the same as it was under gadhafi standard of living is down there is no press freedom and there's even more corruption it's a den of islam it's terrorism of narco traffic and the world's capital of slave

markets you can buy a black male refugee as a rule should for as little as $200.00 and these day and age what we know is that migrants who fall into the hands of smugglers face a systematic malnutrition sexual abuse and even murder we are hearing about mass graves in the desert migrants are being sold in the market as a commodity if you go to the market and you can pay between $2500.00 to get a migrant that will work with you on your daily jobs or support your work the war still rages warlords and islam it's gangs and drug traffickers and slave was still latin it you know and the oil giants italy's any francis' to tell today matthew new problem pumping oil in the middle of a civil war i did forget to mention did not libya also happens to have the largest

oil reserves in africa and that few years before they bombed libya into the ground gadhafi had hinted it potentially nationalizing all the oil production but no that's crazy talk isnt it. just to add to murat space a number of experts so we got their views on believe they need to intervention in libya spelled disaster for the north african country. intervention by nato to knock out a call that was supposed to civilians a turned into a regime change operation and instead of bringing his claim to be peace and stability and order and progress and development and democracy to the people of libya what pride it's been bodies all over all part of the libyan libyan people it's insecurity it's. actually

a return to the periods even perhaps in some areas worse than it was and the early days of. free saugor devastation. libya's institutions libya's impressed park. through its social institutions we saw violence we still got eyes that were extreme ism keep in mind that the oil generated a good deal of wealth you have wall street firms like goldman sachs which were involved in business deals with the khadafi regime but with the ouster of the gadhafi regime they felt that they would be in their position to benefit then you had the inexperience of the team in washington and inexperienced president surrounded by inexperienced aides like secretary of state hillary rodham clinton who was trying to show him demonstrate her imperialist mettle by shedding blood in africa then of course you have france france as you know.
