that the russian black sea is registered in the country. welcome to our international just on the 7 o'clock here in moscow britain's government appears to be behind a multi-million pound push to quote weaken the russian state documents allege that london hopes to boost negative coverage of the country by seeking journalists and contract is to infiltrate russian media. as the story. the plan was or it is simple enough the british government and its agencies recruit independent media sometimes even desired and direct their programming manage that in order to and i quote weaken the russian state it's all in the leaked papers the foreign and commonwealth office is looking for an implementor or consortium to

scope design deliver and evaluate a program of interventions that will enhance the skills and capacity or for us and journalists this project will support a wider regional her majesty's government program to counter the russian government's narrative and domination of the media and information space so there's even more there since what these papers paint is a picture of the british government perverting independent media twisting their reporting to suit britain's needs and wants there are get involved with we call will or opinions the young and using them to subvert older generations get them to turn on the kremlin or on russian values by capitalizing on close family ties among russian speakers and revoking the spirit of the baltic way we will use young russian speakers as agents of change to influence their parents and grandparents generations and amplify distance you are able to identity through

family centers direct outreach events propaganda by air land and sea a number of russian language outlets were mentioned specifically some radically adze government and whose claim to credibility has been their independence claim that will be now much harder to make if indeed they pocketed british money that came with strings attached and judging by these papers they weren't so much shrink as cables. we are currently delivering audience segmentation and targeted support for 2 of russia's lead in independent media outlets madieu than media zona and the range of independent investigative journalists in conjunction with data analysts and kids college london the british government allegedly adjusting the independent media's editorial and commercial strategies imagine if russia was caught devising

and directing independent media in britain scandal would have been deafening naturally moscow wants our answers the foreign office documents leaked to the internet reveal that the british government financial support and directly manage its various informational outlets as worse created and network of influencers and russian social media there are hundreds of documents revealing the london propaganda machine we are regent and waiting for london's reaction maybe it is all lies the documents detail dozens of potential programs and strategies it is impossible to verify how many were brought to life how many journalists were drafted into this propaganda offensive and how deep this corruption goes out 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.

independent media and independent journalist is going to spawn much more skepticism than trust. as the of we have asked the u.k. foreign office to comment on this story although so far they haven't responded. to the family of a boy who allegedly froze to death in texas assuming power companies for $100000000.00 the 11 year old died on tuesday at his family's mobile home he was sharing a bed with his younger brother under several blankets trying to stay warm the home had reportedly been without power for days investigators are still looking into the cause of death but the family lawsuit does say that 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 entergy failed to take any action that could have averted the crisis and were wholly unprepared to deal with

the crisis at hand well even those who do have access to heat and power in texas are directing serious questions though with energy companies arthur electricity prices soared i am pretty much $9.00 a kilowatt electricity but i would be very conservative with my electricity so i have no idea exactly why but it's really so much that only going that i absolutely can not afford it i'm not exactly sure you know here to the point where some people have totally turned up their power because they can't. they just can't afford it it's a basic necessity for a living but you think you can already see it now kyra spout. meanwhile over $4000000.00 power outages have also been reported as the storm paid there's been an estimated $18000000000.00 worth of damage throughout the region $15000000.00 people have water reported to struction to their water supply nearly 70 have died across

the u.s. from the unusually cold conditions the governor of texas has pledged 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 do sure they do not get stuck with skyrocketing energy bills or the politicians are also stepping in to help congresswoman sheila jackson lee delivered pizza mortars to residents and who stand in the scott again says that ordinary people shouldn't be picking up the tab for the failures of government power companies. of course with the natural disaster except it's because they don't have the infrastructure and they're not ready and prepared for this type of thing again why should the working class where the middle class have to pay for that likely to be deregulated because the government needs to step in and build my way there should be monopolized so that they can charge

whatever it is that they want to everyone that strives the employer structure and preparing they have power and they've known. chose not to invest in it and so that's what happened is the perfect storm. for a renowned italian opera singer has been inoculated with the sputnik. toll in moscow and ahead of her 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 to take this politically short term took it in europe's putting 3 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 won well for me i didn't experience any side effects. while the vaccine helped to bring down the

number of daily new covert cases here in russia on the on saturday a 3rd national shop was registered to and show george for distribution next month and the maria to your you again compared the situation with the european union and hopes that sputnik v will get the block. well what i'm think of 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 on quite a regular basis shops theaters everything is open we musicians feel shocked 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 are afraid that it will complicate the postcode 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. but more than 100

mafia members including top crime bosses have illegally receive social security payments in sicily with with more than a 1000000 euros police say that 145 mobsters and their relatives some belonging to the most notorious clans now faced fraud charges those accused of include the head of the council matthew family and turn you lori chela he is known for his lavish lifestyle after being released from jail after 7 years so. 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 they illegally cashed in the financial benefits intended for citizens in need. but locals are outraged at the scandal adding that the government watchdogs have failed to do their job. you know whatever

go north college is a true shame as a candle the 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 to go and that isn't that 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 obtain the citizenship 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 dispersement this check should have been done in this request for the citizenship benefit or perhaps it would have taken a few months but it would have prevented the payments from ended up in the row. now there has been a backlash against coca-cola half an employee that revealed it is training workers to be less white because she's on off explains. 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 blackface but rather a training course for workers the video circulating on social media is from a publicly available learning series and is not the focus of our company's curriculum better together global learning curriculum is possible learning plan to help build an inclusive workplace in the program and almost step by step guide on how to get the vice of whiteness out of you be less arrogant be less oppressive be more humble well let me sum this up for you real quick just quit acting like a jerk would jump and generally speaking it's great advice to follow while

navigating through life all together but when the public found out some weren't happy that all those negative traits had been dumped on one particular race sadly the irony of confronting racism by telling you to be less of your skin color will be lost on many i don't know about you but i can do in coca-cola products any more 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 ethnicity 6 you orientation it's their drug i'm ashamed to have coca-cola on my resume however some users push back and hailed coca-cola for 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 that the only ones who won't even examine what else is there because they said to themselves in white the pity proving the training's very premise the

majority of that content looks to be on 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 woke bandwagon from changing profile pictures to show support for the black lives matter movement to rebranding the whole product lines deemed to be well behind the times.
