far book by a conservative. very warm welcome to you and a very good morning this is r.t. international with me nicky aaron. now pressure is mounting on the governor of new york cuomo to step down amid a growing scandal over a cover ups of care home deaths in a pandemic. i think we've seen so many. so many troubling things that have come out just in a matter of weeks starting with the fact that thousands of people died in the nursing homes and we still don't have the truth about that and their families need and deserve the truth and we know one thing there was a purposeful coverup and that alone is unacceptable in disqualifying the state's health departments had initially reported around $8000.00 fêtes hide that were

excluded from the fake it's something deliberately to make the number of casualties seem lower if these victims od it's the real death toll was almost double those reported fixin's relatives question accounting. for their use in a nursing home station in the nursing home or 23. when he we were there were at least in theory ended my family 'd could no longer stand. the nursing home. system was not prepared for any kind of health care emergency and i know my father still encountered it but the governor's attitude of who cares where they die it does matter because it points to one where where there you know errors in their policies and to why they are afraid of having those numbers revealed. as

a requirement for nursing homes to take over it patients is being blamed for making the crisis worse the daughter of one woman who died of the virus in a new york care home wants non-sense. only a. lot of. it was in our own network and you know. i mean for a lot of people are more special you know and more national that. are going there. are you know on n.p.r. and. you know who are employee you know other thing on were like or are you know. 0 hour. or agree or any really want to do your job. in here or in a. year and you are all you are claiming that you know you are

a member or are all in or. you know what they are what you aren't you know our back lesion of his. actual hand are busy. well. you should be more outrage number. was a care home scandal comes at the worst possible time for the state governor and 6 reports of sexual misconduct against cuomo has been published pushing more than 50 state legislators from his own party to demand he quits. now more than 50 performers and employees have turned squatters occupying 3 of france's foreign national theaters and a cry for help they won the industry can no longer survive the pandemic shut down of cultural sites forcing the country's health minister to negotiate with them artes is sought to do by the ski visited one of the occupied venues. i

know my god. was. the chorus of calls demanding the reopening of cultural venue's is growing allow day in france but with no clear end date in sight to the closure of theaters concert hall cinema museums so mother taking more drastic measures over the last week 3 of france's 4 national theatres including this one behind me have been occupied by protesters it is true that every day several times a day we take another place a new theatre a new national stage is occupied in this way with multiply in the case of resistance to make a claim so good so we've all hit by the o.t. now for a week and for that he says is a place of residence the odeon is a symbolic place it was occupied in the $968.00 process there are already struggles

that have been expressed in this place in fact it was the base to signal the alarm of the cultural catastrophe which is taking place protesters who set up shop here at the boat in fear to say they won't leave until their demands are met them not knowing the details now we're determined to hold on until we're satisfied we do not claim the reopening at all costs it is not part of our main slogan contrary to what some media mean we want things to be reopened with social rights for all and massive plan for culture and above all the total reform of the unemployment insurance and the right to unemployment benefits guaranteed for all. the issue has even reached the government with the cultural minister paying a visit to the squatters. i went to the occupied theater audio on i understand the concerns and particularly of all the aftermath of the whites here they know it why objective is to continue to protect artistic employment as much as necessary we

will continue our discussions days later though and nothing has changed if the sector already hit badly by the 1st wave of the covert pandemic with performers taking to the streets to make their plight no thank you thank you. thank you who the owner. 6 there is going to go to the well small private galleries have been allowed to stay open larger places such as this of how to remain shut protesters say that it is possible to open up cultural venues and ensure the people remain socially distanced the news of the louvre museum the also a museum the big museums in paris these a vos places where social distancing would be respected but they are closed.

these are the decisions which are purely political through this there is a very clear choice of society that emerges what is essential to the market and what is not essential concerns culture it concerns all the things that nourish hope nourish reflection this is what power has in its sights through its political choices fronts it is considered to have one of the most generous support systems of artists in the world but that system has been strained as a result of kobe 19 and many claim that they have fall and through the cracks those here say that this protest is just the start as more and more regions in france will see similar action jollity even ski r.t. paris. a small fire government is in turmoil with the health minister quitting after criticism from coalition partners for bringing in this but the the x.e.

the country's print the country's premier is standing firm insisting he won't send back russia's shot with more here's artie's europe correspondent piece all over america is no longer the health minister of slovakia he stood down from roll over his decision to import the sputnik the vaccine from russia into slovakia 2 out of the 4 partners that make up the coalition government in slovakia said he had to go so following that he said the only option available to him was to quit if he ceased to coalition parties made my resignation a condition for them to stay in the coalition is such a situation i think there was no point arguing i'm not glued to my position at the ministry so i decided to resign. slovakia imported 200000 doses of russia's sputnik v. becoming the 2nd e.u. member state to do so the european medicines agency the e m a still hasn't given sputnik the the green light to be used across the e.u.

but that hasn't stopped countries like slovakia and hungry from still importing it hungary is being given out the job for a little while now prime minister igor. in slovakia though said the reason he accepted the resignation of his health minister was to try and keep the government together if he hadn't accepted that resignation slovakia could have been facing new elections in the very very immediate future he also said though that despite accepting the resignation of mystical he wouldn't be returning the doses of russia's sputnik the vaccine. we are an integral part of the year to a controversy is the chance to save our people because the vaccine is made in russia i'm not a killer or slovakia has one of the highest per capita death rates from covert 19 in the world right now it's particularly suffered from this most recent wave of the

corona virus along with neighbors the czech republic in fact the president in the czech republic milosz them and has called on senior figures in the health authorities including the minister of health and czech republic to stand down over their willingness to import and to use russia's sputnik vaccine i would like to say that the 2 biggest obstacles to delivering sputnik be to the czech republic and the minister of health and also the director of the state institute for drug control there are millions of people abroad are already being vaccinated with these jabs where the russian or chinese than the 2 i spoke of are to blame for the fact that our people will continue to die unnecessarily the only solution i see is the retirement of both of the spy independent tests showing that russia's support they have a vaccine is very effective against covert 92 theme where it's made or where it was created is proving to be

a problem for some in europe when it comes to allowing it to be given to their citizens. at a time of extreme while knesset and council culture reading appears to be a dangerous thing going could even end your career and member of a well known british band as being called fascists for mentioning he had read a book criticizing left wing activist group anti for artie's constantine rushkoff looks at the growing chorus of criticism for those who question progressive narratives. just think about it you read a book you like it you say publicly no harm done you would hope well that's what winston marshall did he was the banjo player in a british band called mumford and sons and he dared to enjoy the wrong literature over the last few days i've come to better understand the pain caused by the book i endorsed as a result of my actions some taking time away from the bonds to examine my blinds posts so like in the band's hit single they'll just have to wait for him but what

was the evil book he read you might ask something so bad it wasn't enough to say sorry he had to quit the band he'd been playing and for many years was a mind com or an isis manual on how to make bombs no much worse winston marshall was cold out by social justice worriers for publicly recommending in newly published book criticize an n.t. for well you remember and see for right. that was in the since deleted twit the poor guy barely mentioned that he read the

book about it but that one twit started this tsunami of rage and calls to boycott marshall's bam downflow didn't do is meant to flush shay i really like that one song a while ago winston mossel and his prove to us just a beanie and suck dress and i hope the rest of the band kicks him to the curb otherwise i'm not. your banjo player is a fascist what do you think this is going to do to your public image you guys screwed up fire the fascist the book was written by the wrong guy and know a journalist who's been beating the drum about violent left wing groups in the us for years for his bad it was often attacked beaten and haven't milkshakes of even harassed a random asian man in portland because he looked like him a group for those who suffered because the read my were. the danger of unsafe in

the us is not only the willingness to support me being good in terrorism but those of curious minds from and the new thoughts anyway and in no writes a book that big surprise lashes out at and t. for and bad grasps the attention of poor winston marshall who is already on the world greater in 2018 he posed with jordan peterson i say colleges who doesn't share transgender youth oreo or feminism that was strike number one and now endorsing the wrong book that strike number 2 game over your ban. but it's not just who you endorse it's also who you failed to endorse like these 2 public school administrators in the state of pennsylvania they lost their jobs because they dared to criticize black lives matter in facebook posts or this guy senator josh holy facebook contract was polled after he question joe biden's election victory. a

conservative publisher picked it up though saying they refused to our before the woke mob but across most of the media and cultural landscape towering is the new name of the game. well you get all says it's not right to attack a person just for reading and commenting on such a book. there are issues with the with to integrity in the quality of the book but nonetheless merely reading it and praising a book should no be the subject of apology the idea that you should apologize for reading and praising any book. as extreme connotations for freedom of speech you know we are seeing it more and more. praising that to kill all those who particularize can enjoy up an extremely hope oughta if we need to marshal tweeted an endorsement of the ideas in mind cam and yes i think that would be entirely different than dean goes but he's not mine camp and i think what's really interesting is that we get drawn into these comparisons very very easily you know

it's very easy to throw around the term fascist nowadays and right wing fascism is a very remote ideology in today's context and the enjoy whatever you think of it he certainly not a 'd right wing fascist so the comparison is is completely ill founded. calls the queen as head of state of commonwealth countries the damaging interview and accusations by prince harry and. more on that news off to the right. according to secretary of state playing games china is the only country with the economic military and technological power to seriously challenge the stable and open international system all you need is values and relationships that made the

world work the way we want it to is china really a threat to washington's little system. seemed wrong why don't we all just don't call. me. yet to shape out these days become active. and engaged with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure and i'll be speaking to get us to the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you there.

welcome back to the program now thousands of signed a petition to abolish britain's monarchy after was accused of racism and mistreatment by prince harry and his wife meghan markle he's done a local reports on a difficult time worldwide for a queen who still head of state and former colonies around the globe. like the princess diana interview 25 years ago oprah with meghan harry has sent ripples through the media world family and society with the hash tag abolish the monarchy trending on twitter as debate began to rage on and offline about the shocking revelations in the t.v. piece i just didn't want to be alive anymore in the manse when i was pregnant we had a conversation that he won be given security he's now going to be given a title and also concerns and conversations and both how dark his skin might be when he's born people quick to divide into camps labeling the couple and meghan in

particular as a victim of a bigoted racist institution or viewing the story as an inappropriate unfounded attack on the royals who were quick to deny they were racist and you just let me know is that the racial harmony so. very very strong. but for some this went beyond just another exposé of the royal household a dirty laundry the impact of the interview has been felt thousands of miles away with some australians seeing the interview as more proof of an establishment out of touch with modern realities and unworthy of representing their country why is it easier for harry to leave them more likely than us it's time to have a head of state in our own country focused on us and only us. should be in the street alone citizen should be one of us not the queen or king of the united kingdom australians held a referendum on abolishing the monarchy 22 years ago just over half to keep the

queen in her job elizabeth the 2nd is head of state in many commonwealth countries and former british colonies over the years her real has shrunk so ya know trinidad and tobago dominik are more richness opted to choose their own representatives republican sentiment has been growing in jamaica and barbados will drop the queen a formal role later this year despite its relevance the controversial interview won't be aired in 12 states in the caribbean and indian ocean where the queen. role as head of state has been open for debate meaning people there won't see the interview in full but back home in the u.k. over 11000000 people tuned in somewhat so shocked they even launched a petition to abolish the monarchy i have no doubt they will be moved to get rid of the monarchy in british problem if it is true in particular was drawn almost for a new reason it didn't because it couldn't agree on what we were trying to read. in the us i thought

a good job it doesn't mean knowledge which is why when the queen finally goes i think of the jews will become rather different but of course the. ground through the branches of the street and i'm going to disagree with you just through your nose were born a number of. times when the moment you. anyway while people are split on harry and meg and they're less split on the monarchy support does remain high last year for you gov poll found just 22 percent favored abolishing means the shushan for many the morning is synonymous with the queen who doesn't love her majesty has been around for as long as anyone can remember a true symbol of an era no single scandal will ruin her legacy but values are evolving at lightning pace support for the monarchy is more polarized among the younger demographic and they pro tries diversity and inclusive witty something the royals clearly have not the house of windsor faces a crossroads

a path of evolution or increasing questions as to its relevance home and abroad. let's go live now to a process that jenny hawking author other barbara feel on form australian prime minister gov with dylan who controversially fired by the queen's representative the governor general welcome to the program it's great to have you with us so most of all i'd like to know do australians that do most australians still back the monarchy and if so why. look opinion polls do vary all national but actually most horror show the most australians would prefer to be a republic we did have a show in try to save a referendum to become a republic in 1990 that did not succeed not because most people don't support that concept but because we had a difference of opinion about the appointment process or the electoral process through which the head of state would be would be appointed so i think particularly

as the queen reaches the end of her life and we move to king charles the extraordinary thing is that the british want to act automatically becomes australia's head of state now that's just an untenable situation for any modern democracy in which we australians have no say over who hate of state will be it's and then here is a timetable and i think what the megan and harry interviewers show and most clearly is just how out of touch the monarchy is with everyday life particularly so many thousands of miles away in australia 'd do you feel that and say well sentiment is growing it not just in your country but world wide. i do think that the interview has given to relink much as towards questions being raised about what is the role of an inherited maki with vast extraordinary. wealth and significant pound despite the fact that they were patiently claimed they have not

been full of equal power i know from my work on the australian prime minister gough whitlam who was dismissed on the queen's representative that we now know from letters and they released last year here that the queen to private secretary was in intensive discussions with the government general so joan could have tried to him dismissing the government the elected government of australia and of course the government knew nothing about those conversations and nor did the australian people so this been real questions raised about the contemporary role of the monarchy in australia and i think it's much more the case that people support the notion that we should govern ourselves we should have our own head of state rather than an anti more nikki position and has sat out think that's an older position that we've moved beyond and we now simply want to control our political base today as australians and have a say in who i head of state is is there any way the monarchy could adapt to modern times and be accepted. this is one of the things i find fascinating part from this

interview it was absolutely riveting i watched it as i'm sure all hundreds of your viewers also watched it because it was a very unusual opportunity to lift the veil on this extraordinary normally so secretive and so closely held you know workings of the monarchy and of packing and palace that's a very rare thing in an orbit cell so what we see there i think is not altogether a pleasant view of life within fracking a palace tightly controlled rightly described as the firm because it is a firm it is an institution and utterly ack ack something that no longer has relevance in a modern liberal democracy where we we want to count ability we want transparency and so i think it has led many paper to ask what is the function of a monarchy and also to say that it is incapable lend and willing to change it's not in a position where it can readily

a debt to these vastly changing circumstances and that means there's a real question mark over its future professor jenny hawking thank you for joining us today thank you so much nicky. the british the eco hotel which will host this summer's g. 7 summit is being attacked for not being as green as they claims to be artie's butchie davy picks up the story. just 2 months before world leaders rent their private jets and come skidding into the u.k. from every corner of the planet to attend the g. 7 summit a few autographs of being i do not want to believe that they have a little dig literally tracks by a hotel in posh accent at the bottom left hand corner of britain hosting the g. 7 summit in june has played a big part with a lot but sure trees and shrubs. to create 3 family meeting rooms for the
