to make him a. famous british musician. afternoon here in moscow just after 3. pressure is mounting on the governor of new york to step down amid a growing scandal over. the. 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 cover up and that alone is unacceptable and disqualifying the state's

health department how did michelle reported around $8000.00 fatalities in cat homes with those who were transferred to hospital and died excluded from the figures and something deliberately to make the number of casualties seem lower now if these affect victims are added the real death toll was almost double those reported and victims' relatives question the counting and quote most apparent dismissal of its importance. who years 3320 years a darden spittal died in a nursing home they died my father was in a nursing home station he was in the nursing home for 23. when he we're there we're hearing ended my family he 'd could no longer stand. the nursing home. system ways not prepared for any kind of health care

emergency and i know my father is still in county but their governor is and it's you who cares where they die it does matter because it points to one where where where you know there is in their policies and to why they are afraid of having those numbers reveal quote mo's requirement for nursing homes to take covert patients is being blamed for making the crisis worse the daughter of one woman who died of the virus in a new york home is asking for. everyone else may feel like it should. be malaysian. i think that it was a that it's been done that were not done that. way for a lot of people responsible especially the nursing home that she was that. our governor andrew cuomo because. some of you know him and apparently. you know that

whether it's a you know the nursing home or like a free for all the fat was all about being a people were great to work and they want to do their job and you know that's what that's what they signed up to do here in their living facility here that you. feel like you know you don't remember ringback how many people die from. you know their you know accusation of. sexual misconduct not as not for the case but i think that people should be more outraged and the number of people that died in their homes with my mother. is kind of a comes at the worst possible time for the state governor 6 reports now of sexual misconduct against cuomo has been published pushing it now more than 50 state legislators from his own party to demand he quits.

more than 50 performers and employees have turned squatters occupying 3 of france's 4 national theaters in a cry for help they warn of the industry can no longer survive the pandemic shut down of cultural sites forcing the country's health minister to negotiate with them . as he visited one of the occupied venues and. i know why. the chorus of calls demanding the reopening of cultural venues is growing allow day in france but with no clear end date in sight to the closure of theaters concert hall cinema museums are 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 our claims heard so we've all complied the o.t. now for a week and for that it serves as a place of residence the odeon is the 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. the protesters who set up shop here at the low didn't get 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 may 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 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 6. there is

a hunger to do that while 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 as in you know the louvre museum the also a museum the big museums in parish these a vast 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 science through its political choices frontispiece conceded to her one of the most generous support systems of artists in the world but that system has been strained as a result of co the 19 and many claim that they have fall in through the cracks

those his 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. at a time of extreme woke no sun the council culture reading appears to be a dangerous thing and could even and your career a member of a well known british bad as being called fascists for mentioning he had read a book criticizing left wing activist group and. constantino 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 taken 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 had been planned and for many years was a mind com or an isis manual on how to make bombs no much worse winston marshall was called out by social justice worriers for publicly recommending in newly published book criticize n n t for well you remember and see for right.

here 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 it's meant to flush shay i really like that one song a while ago with the muscle and his proof that it's just a beanie and dress and i hope the rest of the band kicks him to the curb otherwise i'm out. 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 is bad it was often attacked beaten and even milkshakes of even harassed a random asian man in portland because he looked like him

a group for those who suffered because they 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 new thoughts anyway and in no writes a book that big surprise lashes out at and t. for and that grasps the attention of poor winston marshall who's already on the world greater in 2018 he posed with jordan peterson as a college just 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 band. 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 a 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 how were before the woak mob but across most of the media and cultural landscape towering is the new name of the game lawyer says it's not right to attack a post just for reading and commenting on such a book. there are issues with the with integrity and 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 was we are seeing it more and more. praising that to kill all those who particularize can enjoy up an extremely hope alter 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 but right wing fascism is a very remote ideology in today's context and the enjoy whatever you think of it me certainly not a 'd right wing fascist so the comparison is completely healed found it. still to come here on the program on the u.k. a venue of the g. 7 summit in june boasts all about its green credentials there's actually been exposed as being extremely environmentally friendly. and the rest of the mix of your stories in just a sec. 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 the needs values and relationships that made the world work the way we want it to is china really a threat to washington's legal system. seemed wrong when all the rules just don't hold. me. to shape out to stay active. and engagement 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 when i'll be speaking to guests of

the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see them. here in the russian capital the slovak government is in turmoil over the sputnik v. vaccine with the health health minister actually quitting off the criticism from coalition partners for bringing in the job of the country's premier standing firm insisting he won't send russia's short all details here with europe correspondent peter all of us. monica 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 the c.c.c. 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 matter of it which in slovakia though said that 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 contribute to 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 own willingness to import and to use bush'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 if millions of people abroad are already being vaccinated with these jabs where that 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 test showing that russia. 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. you tube content creators already angry at the platform for pocketing almost half their advertising revenue have criticized it now that they could start taking almost another 3rd in taxes here a creator outside of the us you may begin to have taxes the ducted from your u.s. earnings later this year the online giant takes $0.45 of every dollar paid by

advertisers to feature creators videos under a new policy to tax creators the site is now warning it all to duct up to another $0.30 from content watched by u.s. viewers the amount could be low if the creators country has a tax treaty with washington but social media users said the video sharing site was already taking a big enough cut. you take 45 percent of un-english ready and now you expect us to pay tax just tax the 45 percent you take taxes from your own cut you agree to. imagine making me pay for drone strikes when i'm not even a us citizen legal analyst identified the master says you tube's questionable move could end up hurting not boosting its own bottom line you too can always choose to to pay it's to pay from its earnings now this is a choice that is made to go outside of that and to charge more from its client base

more from the public the key here in american businesses especially ones like you tube or social media platforms you have investors you are a publicly traded entity so you have investors people that are reliant on your standards on what you state that you stand for as a company and when you when you go against those when you violate your own standards you risk losing investment you really should consider is now the emergence of new streaming platforms you have gabs t.v. platform and there are other of their other streaming providers rubbles some other ones that are starting to get a much bigger name for themselves starting to get a bigger audience for their free for their free platforms out without without many restrictions on the content they provide for a foreign citizens you to pay us taxes you'd have to be considered an employee or a contractor of an organization or you tube is saying that if youtube is part of what they're doing is trying to make their content creators pay us taxes for some

of their earnings from the platform that would not be legal and it wouldn't even be required under u.s. laws convoluted as it is because those people would need to be considered you tube employees i don't think you tube would say that any of their constant creators are due to the employees they're basically utilizing a platform they're not employees and contractors. the head of an american data privacy if his question whether the personal health information and possible war can be held securely the e.u. is among those mulling introducing the documents but robot shop will warned they will lead to discrimination. and have seen the efforts from the european union and the green you know the green initiative while this idea that they can guarantee. that the data is is safe and anonymized is

just wrong it's incorrect and i think it's a real problem when governments are claiming that just like it's a problem when companies claim that your data is anonymous and will never be lost stolen or as well we're concerned about is if vaccine data and then execute are combined with travel data starts to leak out and get you going combined with these data broker profiles that anyone can buy any business can buy them any individual can buy them there are available very cheap so for example an insurance company might or might not want to insure a server give us an offer if it's a certain amount of that if we fall into a certain category based on that data the company of the person we just heard from held a poll finding less than a hof of americans want digital health possible its role as they are if they are brought in that has only essential information should be used. what i believe is

a good so who should i write to the problem am harper tyranny of vaccine have courts is do not use or share it it is alaska knowledge used stickers you used things that don't replicate our data across every country we travel to or every sports venue if we want to watch a football game i mean all of the data in it now sounds great and it sounds convenient but ultimately there is a lot of risks to our privacy in the future if we keep creating more data especially how. thousands of signed a petition to abolish britain's monarchy was accused of racism and mistreatment by prince harry and his wife meghan markle the scandals strengthen the case of australians including prime minister malcolm turnbull who insists u.k.

royals have no place as the head of state or the queen of elizabeth over maine's head of state of many former british colonies but republican sentiments rising jamaica and barbados will this year become the latest to remove the modoc from the role in their countries professor jenny hawking has written the biography of former australian prime minister. who was controversially fired by the queen's representative in 175 she told us that the royal family is in a difficult position. we australians have no say over who hate of state will be its own here is a title and i think what the mayor and harry interview is showing most clearly is just how out of touch the monarchy is with everyday life particularly so many thousands of miles away in australia 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 paid italy claim they have no political power that the queen private secretary was in intensive discussions with the governor general so joan could have tried to him just missing 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 nicky position and has say i think that's an older position that we've moved beyond and we now simply want to control our own political base to be as australians and have a say in who i head of state is. the british eco hotel which will host the summer's g. 7 summit has been found to be rather less eco friendly than a claims for the venue itself denies the allegations picking up the story for us is but you dave. just 2

months before world leaders rent their private jets come skidding into the u.k. from every corner of the planet to attend the g. 7 summit a few autographs 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 the trees and shrubs. to create 3 family meeting rooms for the likes of climate chris 8 is a joke boyd and justin and country head host embarrassing the hotel hasn't actually got planning permission to build the new version and application was submitted on monday but hasn't been accepted and they take it from checked it and have to do the reverse of what they've done and that was. the hotel which prides itself on being eco friendly i won the coveted i in turn hotel

of the year award 2019 slash 24 to the 2020 slash 21 award as you know he'd love to councillors one of them saying i think it's a disgrace that the summit which is meant to be looking at the effects of climate change and the environment is being organized in hosted by people who obviously don't give a damn about it but that how chalte chalte tell future proof lupo statement you say it was b.s. status committed to sustainability and dedicated to protecting the environment now and for generations to come we can confirm this was not ancient woodland and there are no bad just sets on this piece of land you would have to think the best thing to say to climate change would be to hold the meteorologist like the last one to get head start on saving some of those carbon emissions and again it's not fun drinking champagne on your own is a plus in scotland in november it's another one of the united nations. it's called a change conference also known as c.e.o.

he. has gone think on this one as well you need to minister just to concentrate on this one call that conference or wonder what their data. is or thanks for sharing your time with us here at off international all this friday we are back with more. ironic that all the people that are in the big point bubble talk about the other bubbles that the fed is inflated without recognizing that they're in a bubble themselves i mean it's like a bubble is generally in the eye of the beholder nobody can tell their own bubble and so you've got all these people who are involved in the crypto bubble they can't see it. one of the worst mass shootings in america was in less vegas in 2017 the tragedy exposed a little of the real last big many say elected officials are controlled by could
