2:05 am
drafted into this propaganda thirds of and how deep this corruption girls how much damage has been done what is clear is that combined with other recent revelations linking russian language media outlets to foreign governments hostile governments title independent media and independent journalist is going to spawn much more skepticism than trust. well i can tell you requested comment from the u.k. foreign office as well as a get back to us or will tell you what they had to say will brief you. the family of a boy who allegedly froze to death in texas is suing power companies for $100000000.00 the 11 year old died on choose day than at his family's mobile home at the time you sharing a bed with his younger brother under several blankets apparently trying desperately to stay warm the home had reportedly been without power for days investigators are
2:06 am
still looking into the actual cause of the death officially but the family lawsuit says the boy died of hypothermia despite having knowledge of the dial weather forecast for at least a week in advance and the knowledge that the system was not prepared for more than a decade electric reliability council of texas and to fail to take any preemptive action that could have averted the crisis and were wholly unprepared to deal with the crisis at hand. but even those who do have access to heat and power in the area are asking serious questions now of the power providers i am pretty much 9 dollars a kilowatt electricity but i was very conservative with my electricity so i had no idea exactly why but it ily so much that only going that i absolutely cannot afford it i'm not exactly sure you know who can go back to the point where some people have totally turned up their power because they can't of course america cannot the
2:07 am
biggest can't afford it it's a basic necessity for a living do you think utilities should not car sprout. at the same time as more than $4000000.00 power outages were reported as that storm pete spread an estimated $18000000000.00 worth of damage across the region $15000000.00 people reported destruction to their water supplies to more than 70 have died across the us from the unusually cold conditions indeed the governor of texas has pledged to try its best to bring the spiraling energy bills under control we're moving quickly to alleviate this problem and we'll continue to work collaboratively throughout this week and solutions to help texas families and ensure they do not get stuck with skyrocketing energy bills other politicians are also stepping in to help congresswoman sheila jackson lee delivered pizza or water to residents and who stood scored a most against his ordinary people shouldn't be picking up the tab though for the
2:08 am
failure as a government and power companies to prepare for disasters like that. of course this was a natural disaster for texas because they don't have the infrastructure and they're not ready and prepared for this type of thing but again why should the working class where the middle class have to pay for that this needs to be deregulated because the government needs to step in because no way they should be monopolized so that they can charge whatever it is that they want to everyone as far as the employer structure and preparing they have time they've known but they chose not to invest in it and so this is what happens is the perfect storm. or now to tell you no pressing is how the sputnik very covert job i longed to hear of moscow ahead of the performance of the bolshoi theater she told us why. but you know since i am in moscow to work at the bolshoi theater i had an opportunity
2:09 am
to take this put in the short term took it in europe's politically is considered one of the most effective it is amazing that russia made its vaccine available to whoever wants to get it as a foreigner i had the opportunity to get inoculated for free but many people even asked me whether they can come to russia and get vaccinated it one well for me i didn't experience any side effects. while the other bit of good news to tell you about the vaccines helped to bring down the number of daily new covert cases here in russia and on saturday a 3rd national shot was registered and showed jail for distribution next month at a maria curie again comparing the situation with the e.u. and hoping the sputnik the will get to the block to some time soon. and around the problem you know what it is but you know. when it comes to europe it is a huge problem that it is failing to vaccinate all citizens as quickly as possible it hampers their return to work however here in moscow everything is up and running
2:10 am
and quite a regular basis shops theaters everything is open we musicians feel shocks to have all the theatres as well as other cultural facilities closed i can't understand why there is the slowdown in europe mightily in france are very preoccupied we are afraid that it will complicate the post covert recovery i'm in favor of sending sputnik the supplies to europe and elsewhere if it helps overcome the problem of vaccine shortages and allows everyone to get vaccinated. more than a 100 mafia members including parity top crime bosses have illegally receive social security payments in sicily with more than a 1000000 euro the problem of financial police saying that 145 more posters of their relatives some belonging to the most of tori's plans now face fraud charges those include the head of the cult mafia family. known for

its blubbers lifestyle after being released received near jail to. so you see that it's been part of a very important investigation that we conducted together with the prosecutor's office of palermo which provided us with a list of 1400 individuals charged with mafia type crimes this operation reaffirms that the mafia does not feel any remorse illegally cashed in the financial benefits intended for citizens in need. locals are outraged by the government watchdogs also failed in their view to do their job. and i would have a go no scott it is a true shame a scandal that people who live in miserable conditions are stripped of what was basically their livelihoods it is a disgrace for the whole nation a settlement or rather regarding accident it's a disgrace there are people who are in great need of financial aid but they fail to receive it for some reason and then you find out that the math here has managed to
2:12 am
obtain this instance of benefits it happens because there are no checks in place. this checks have to be carried out before payments in order to avoid this illegal disbursement this check should have been done when this request for the citizenship benefit were process or perhaps it would have taken a few months but it would have prevented the payments from ended up in the wrong hands. there's a backlash against coca-cola after an employee revealed its training teaches that workers should quote try to be less white r.t. correspondent he goes down off reports. club soda flavors caffeine and ton of sugar it's a well guarded secret for sure but there can't be much more to bring up an iconic coke but how can we make it even better coca-cola thought well how about we make our white employees a less white but put down your stones at least for now this has nothing to do with

2:14 am
emergent cook telling employees to be less black or be less jewish is the except to bill and unethical to tell anyone to be lists of their race religion if in the city 6 you orientation it's the drug i'm ashamed to have coca-cola on my resume however some users push back and hailed coca-cola of its efforts they should have changed this to talk specifically about whiteness and not be less white but good in coca-cola for doing this work. only bigots sematic coca-cola for the less whites training they're the only ones who won't even examine what else is there because they send to themselves in white for pity proving the training's very premise the majority of that content looks to be in point it's that last slight which is an issue because of the rigidity of corporate america coca-cola is just the latest in a host of companies to help on the world bandwagon from changing profile pictures to show support for the black lives matter movement to rebranding whole product
