and response to the sanctions will be inevitable washington has to understand that there will be a price for the degradation of bilateral relations and it is the us that is entirely responsible for what is happening you know a lot is happening the russian foreign ministry summoned the u.s. ambassador in moscow for talks he was told washington sanctions will be met like for like and any attempts to discourage them would be totally inappropriate or my colleagues under former and jaclyn who get talked through the day's developments. as the russian reaction makes clear this latest move from the us represents a sharp hit to relations between the 2 countries and the measures being announced are quite extensive they came in the form of a 5 page executive order so what's in it let's take a look now 10 personnel from the russian diplomatic mission in washington d.c. are to be expelled and the biden administration said that that includes representatives of russian intelligence services but giving them details as to what

exactly that means 32 and cities and individuals or sanctioned for quote carrying out russian government directed attempts to influence the 2020 us presidential election comes as no surprise that that was also within the document apart from that the u.s. treasury will also be targeting a number of russian financial institutes and a 6 russian technology companies have been designated saying that they provided support to russian intelligence services allegedly facilitating malicious cyber attacks now with all that in mind the white house seems to be taking a rather paradoxical approach to russia relations with russia as in the statement outlining all of these measures they started off with a call for stable relations with moscow the biden administration has been clear that the united states desires a relationship with russia that is stable and predictable we don't think that we need to continue on a negative trajectory however we have also been clear publicly and privately that

we will defend our national interests and impose costs for russian government actions that seek to harm us this is not the 1st time we've heard sentiments coming from the biden instruction like that but then they hit moscow with the sanctions and other measures and they've also now officially laid the blame for the solar wind cyber attack at the feet of russian intelligence for a little background on that last year a piece of software called solar winds was hit with a cyber attack and those behind it gain access to digital files of so. well u.s. government agencies including the treasury the justice and state departments it was a huge deal at the time the u.s. said that they suspected that moscow was behind the attack but investigations were still going on but now the finger of blame is being firmly pointed out russia but again with this caveat that the u.s. has high confidence quote unquote in the assessment that russia is to blame but no concrete evidence has been put forward and russia has all this time of course

denied any involvement whatsoever isn't it a shop change in tone that we've heard from america over the last couple of days because you know if you going back to then the walls talk of a summit between america and russia well exactly just 2 days ago on tuesday biden and putin spoke by phone or biden once again said that his goal was to build a stable and predictable relationship with russia and at the time he also proposed a summit between the 2 leaders to take place and a 3rd country and the biden administration has said that that summit that meeting is vital to stop the ex escalation of tensions between the 2 powers but the russian foreign ministry says that d.c.s. actions speak a whole lot louder than those sort of words joe biden. joe biden said he's interested in the normalization of russia u.s. relations but the actions of his administration show us the opposite the u.s. is not ready to deal with the reality of the multiple world which shots at the

possibility of american has your money instead they count on sanctions and interference in our internal affairs so at this point russia says that they are going to react to these measures coming from the u.s. and the white house in turn says they reserve the right to react to russia's reaction while adding and here's the kicker that it would be best if everyone restrain themselves from escalating the situation any further. we got reaction to this from political analyst chris bambery here believe us sanctions are the least efficient way to resolve the current issues between moscow and washington if you recall when donald trump was 1st elected he was adamant he was going to improve a relationship with with putin and with moscow but a majority opinion in the white sows the united states military united states security and american elites in general is in favor of this hard line of encouraging a new cold war so even if i did was being our friend which was cheated in

suggesting talks the majority of the american people who matter in the united states the people rule the united states are insistent on this cold war agenda with russia does seem that biden agree to have this summit at least seem to be you know looking towards some sort of solution particularly towards the build up military buildup at least create as no take in this hard to stance which channel help the process of trying to resolve matters it is to train and cannot help improve relations you must go washington and the west and. the taliban is warning the problems will be quote compounded if the u.s. and allied forces fail to a draw from afghanistan before the may 1st deadline struck last year it comes as joe biden announced this week that all u.s. and nato troops will be finally pulled out by mid september saying that they have been there too long it's also called on regional powers to offer more support to afghanistan as america departs our senior correspondent iraq as the has been

looking at the announcements and ramifications. joe biden says this is it the end of the afghan war no more extentions apart from well these last one until september we cannot continue the cycle of extending or expanding our military presence in afghanistan hoping to create ideal conditions for the drawn and expecting a different result according to the deal struck between trump and the taliban america was supposed to be gone in a couple of weeks time by may 1st but the president the new president claimed that didn't give him enough time the new date is symbolically september 11th and the thousands of u.s. and nato troops on that date will have left in light of this and recognizing that there is no military solution to the challenges of ganesan faces elyse have determined that we will start their withdrawal of the residents are told mission

full says by may fast new d.n.a. 2 wants to be in afghanistan nobody but they went to do a job to make sure that al qaida and its ilk never make it home again and the only thing worse than staying in afghanistan is leaving before that job is done which has the potential to cost 20 years of war and bloodshed and effort to the when our common goal is clear afghanistan should never again service a haven for terrorists to attack our whole nouns so our presence is conditions based. well no our ally wants to stay in afghanistan longer than necessary we will not leave before the time is right it's the us government itself is divided and i'm on a to germany for example which previously opposed the withdrawal czech republic

came out and said that this is the wrong decision but that the pull out in solidarity leaving behind a vast dangerous and uncertain ballot vacuum the war isn't over almost 2000 people have been killed that have got a start in the 1st 3 months of this year but now that's a problem for others it will ask other countries of the countries in the region to do more to support of kynaston especially pakistan as well as russia china india in turkey. they all have a significant stake in the stable future for afghanistan under stab at the taliban and now is believed to be more powerful than at any point in 20 years they control a contest more than half the country and that's with thousands of nato troops keeping them at bay with those foreign troops gone what's to stop them taking law but siege in kabul and doing decades of humanitarian and human rights progress

would they still feel obligated to root out hard line terrorists. which the u.s. never came here for the benefit of afghanistan no one was happy with the u.s. coming here and i don't think many people will be sad to see them leave the u.s. came to afghanistan for its own interests and that includes nato and all other foreign troops which are under the orders of washington when the us came in 2001 they vowed to deliver peace in afghanistan but they failed we could never trust american promises i guess if the u.s. soldiers leave afghanistan i think the situation will become worse because our country's security forces are not equipped well enough to fight against the taliban who have had the weaponry the us promised many times in recent years about withdrawing its troops but nothing happened and help for peace let's see what will happen. as you know the us came to ensure security in afghanistan and as you know the situation has become worse day by day conflicts increased and now the

americans are leaving i don't think the americans want afghanistan to prosper they're just seeking a way to flee from the mess they made and they are thinking about the afghan people but when i was 11 i think it could be good if we get peace the afghan people want peace it's a good idea that america leaves of ghana stand with the afghan people are tired of war the taliban also angry they feel cheated again by this withdrawal deal a already field commanders are promising nightmare for foreign troops until they pull out. and on that note of american and european taxpayers who lost trillions of dollars on this war a left to hope for the best that's it no guarantees no clear progress the result of the afghan war is that everyone's been left to hoop for the best. c.n.n. has long prided itself on being the most trusted name in news but that promise is

once again on scrutiny after a c.n.n. technical director was recorded in a sting operation explaining the network aided the block of lives matter. a strain of disease if you're going to eat like. people are getting exactly just a picture. of a terror patient. someone. who was trying to like help like a b.l.m. like you know you like i mean it's individuals it's not you know. that's not good enough it's about enough good or bad or this week investigative journalist group project vera toughs published 2 other parts of her own recovery operation in which c.n.n. executive charlie chester admitted that the outlet had a pre-determined agenda to get double trouble lights of office played up the covert

1000 death toll to secure higher ratings or t. contacted c.n.n. for comments all new revelations we'll bring any response to if and when we get one a new head of the newsroom project or a to say it's time people started asking questions. we can speak to the fact that this technical director charlie chester he was certainly part of the culture he was speaking as if they were an advocacy group and this is a network that uses the tagline the most trusted name in news does the most trusted name in news you know collude directly or indirectly with black lives matter that's a question for the american public to ask it seems that the rules that as a society that we all thought were in place are no longer and voice there is no more roebuck this is you know this is concerning this is something that the american people should be looking into this is something they should be studying and this is something that they should know about because anything this big that means people make value decisions that affect their lives every day based on the

news and if you're telling them you're real and in you know we're off hours you're saying that you're completely fake your propaganda that needs to be investigated that needs to be looked at further. a country. herschel security bill has been published by the french parliament now it said powers to law enforcement bodies but has faced widespread criticism for making it harder to call the police abuse taking us through developments. there was rounded criticism of this bill when it was presented a year ago not just from the left from human rights organizations and also journalists who says well concerned about elements contained in this global security bill now one of the most controversial elements was oh it's a cool 24 we've discussed it many times and the feelings about this is that it would continue issues in the ability of the press to do their job when it came to distributing images of police offices as

a result of that controversy and the widespread protests we saw here in france the government said it was going to completely revise this particular article the sticker mind though over the protests against article 24. well the government said it was 3 writing that article completely but as it's been posted a there are elements that still are being criticized by many article $24.00 in the

bill that was posted a bipolar man terrance still contains limits on who can call and publish images all of the police if they see images of publish with an intent to harm physically or mentally one of those offices on the cheek if somebody is found guilty of doing that they would then face a fine of 75000 euros or up to 5 years in jail so a pretty severe penalty for that but it wasn't just. article 24 that caused concern this no as it's been passed now gives police offices the right to film interventions that they make it is allows them to regulate the use of drones for the police to be able to monitor a protest potentially and it allows offices to carry their weapons even when they are off duty some have described this move as essentially making throws a dysfunctioning democracy. but in simple terms this law will significantly

restrict freedoms the use of drones during protests and things like that this is a disaster for democracy and freedom but i think security is as important as freedom it is true but there are people who abuse it the harm is not for freedom itself people and not freedom cause harm. done and you need to think if there are other tools that would be more consistent with the principle of human freedom the right to protest is our right spying on people and it's not just about concern on the streets here in france own u.n. panel of experts also raise concerns about this new saying that it was incompatible with international human rights. the bill could lead to significant violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms in particular the right to privacy and the right to freedom of expression so just by those continuous calls to scrap this bill

it has been imposed on thursday by parliamentarians 75 voting for it 33 against it but human rights organizations say this isn't the end they say that they will continue to challenge this law when it now goes to francis constitutional court and it's that last decision will be made as to whether this bill will become . it's a role in the. playing it tipped as the next james bond but the lead character in the b.b.c.'s hugely popular crime drama luthor left the network's head of creative diversity both shaken and stirred she claims he isn't quote black enough to be real when it 1st came out everybody loves the fact that the interest is in there really strong black characters and well actually he doesn't have any black friends he doesn't need any what carabiner. this doesn't feel authentic when you see groups

through the prism of stereotypes this is the insulting outcome which he preferred to see luthor dunk basketball hoops at the end of every scene luther isn't black and a half and i see so this is a new wave of racism where black people are not black enough it was implied i'm not black enough because i didn't have any black friends in my photo these lazy syria types are racist luthor follows the exploits of detective chief inspector general with or he attempts to solve brutal murders in the run london the show's 5 series run between 2010 and 29 of the comments about its diversity come as the b.b.c. pledges to spend 100000000 pounds on making more quote diverse inclusive television the measure will include 3 tests with programs needing to meet 2 of them to pass from delighted to welcome on to the program not political analysts and 3 brian

logan also anthony rogers write for their tick gentlemen it's a pleasure. brian can we kick off with you maybe the diversity chief didn't word it quite right but is there anything wrong with seeing more authenticity on screen when it comes to a character's background. well i don't really know what she wants as far as quote unquote authenticity i mean the show is not really about him being black specifically you know it's about luther and it's about the whole thing this not really him in his every day life in what it means to be black i mean there may be shows a show that kind of. thing the president vetoes of what it means to be quote unquote black they show might not be so which she may need is an entirely different show to achieve their go to she has undermined and fanie rogers right your agreement most the valley i think just to put a t. you walking talking stereotypes is not really what we want to say you know i'm

irish if i'm in a film do i have to die in a plane to get a son wear red wig like we're bordering on the ridiculous here or no and mark it down this is you know brother at the end i have been on this show many times and not in agreement mark it down we are in full alignment today i think that the statements were it was say how long we got last with your. brother anthony remembers when the cause of the show came out there were a lot of people saying the same thing because it featured of a family with a black lawyer and a black doctor and some people were saying oh that's the joke as if this country the united states of america hasn't seen waves of successful and black people who have excelled in scholarship so you know i would agree 100 percent this idea that blackness is monolithic is very very dangerous and it could lead to more stereotypes as you were saying it's it was very very very reckless and i really

hope that the b.b.c. looks into this more and i think that the diversity. counselor does need to answer some more questions to the public because i'm a lot of people were unfortunately insulted by this very langar is comments unfunny brian content makers they face criticism in the past for using stereotypes now they're criticized for for not using them it's hard for them isn't it when pressure comes from above. i mean you can't really when we start to play the game we chatted to groups because people are always going to be of say ok if you want to play to do stereotypes like that comments are we saying one of those tweets ok is he going to play basketball every episode in going into a run a pickup game after his shift i mean they do things like their face if they don't show him doing things like they then that's offensive at a certain point just programming on the day and going back to that has to be so right quick there may have been a minority to say that wasn't realistic does not really how the black family years

with the truth is they show in the eighty's in the usa was the most popular show on television it didn't matter black white whatever it was a great show so have a great show is going to do well regardless audi's little things that people try to put in their after effect yet so very well around the world as well i'm for the just right it's never a good thing about luther that his skin color doesn't define his identity no the greatest characters in art as he's just been going through the new on suddenly they were multifaceted you know what we're trying to crowbar in stereotypical aspects just end up hurting the show and dilutes whatever 'd impact it has. well you know to anthony's point earlier right it depends on what the show was supposed to be picked in this case the show with. incredible acting prowess a very good actor and it was not supposed to be a biopic right i could understand if it was supposed to be a show about young malcolm x. and all young malcolm x. was doing was you know hanging out with white people and he didn't show you know

the true. history but as anthony said earlier this is a fictional character who never said in this in his character description that he was so called black so i think that we should continue thinking about luther as the celebration of an exceptional you know acting career that has been heralded and as mr who is also a fellow serially only in a whole bunch of accolades we have to be extremely careful they were characters like benson back in the early eighty's you know that apparently weren't black enough and again black people are are not monolithic in the united can and can definitely attest to and this idea that we're going to let hollywood or anyone else determine what blackness is and what blackness isn't is very pernicious incredible in the wire as well as nic. what's your thoughts maybe that's why not the conversation here what's your thoughts in having a diversity chief at all in fact there's 2 at the b.b.c.

. 2 high paid positions is there a fear that in order to warrant such a salary grievances well maybe they have to be followed even there if there isn't one in this case there's a lot of agreement that there isn't one in the 1st place or are does it have an important role to play in a modern diverse society. you know where a phrase i came up with recently is when you live by that quote unquote store you're going to the bookstore because when you go out there and try to have diversity and try to have inclusion sometimes you just go way over to tab actually a lot of times you go way over it and you try to find things like this ok i'm diversity chief things aren't really quite right ok he's not in caribbean food that's not right oh he doesn't have any black friends he's not quote unquote black and no you go so far in your search for diversity you try to create problems when a problem is even exist so that's kind of so the thing b.b.c.

was to be woken when to be more inclusive not us and they they got to have these kind of problems come up because at a certain point you have to create problems in order to solve them to justify your job even existing to do other anthony do you think if the chief an organization like this is warranted. you know i'm on the fence about i mean i would agree that when what culture goes too far it presents something that i call to will to do when you know the bottom line is if we are going to have diversity chiefs you know let's make sure we're talking about making sure that there is a good representation of actors and women and men. you know what our society looks like right now the british society has always been a very very diverse society this is an island nation that at one point ruled the world or asian people in the u.k. africans people of caribbean descent and of course white people i think that we i would have somewhat agree with anthony in saying that if there is

a character that is written that's supposed to be a certain character just changing the skin color isn't necessarily a solution what i would like to see we're really going to have diversity chiefs is a better representation of say biblical shows rate like why do we always get white actors to play a jesus of nazareth we know was not a white man with blond hair and blue eyes why is charlton heston playing in let me put the point you let me put the point. right that we sold recently a white doctor apologizing for voicing a hugely popular indian character up in the simpsons cartoon but that there was no similar apology made for forcing the stereotypical scottish character groundskeeper willie which may be deemed offensive to scots why does it always seem to be one direction of traffic. yeah i would agree with that i think that his area was showed a lot of maturity and of course you know that was engender obviously with the. american violence that's been happening in the united states but certainly it's not just you know

a racial thing there are also cultural aspects of it you could go as far as to say you know in the united states we're talking about mascots right now the misrepresentation of indigenous people the notre dame fighting irish i think is also equally offensive as just depicting irish folk as people who get drunk and fight all the time so i would agree with you that that apology was absolutely incomplete and to anthony's point it was trying to like you know kind of latch on to you know an exacerbated culture which is not going to solve problems where you know jump on the last words oh i'm sorry for this it has to be consistent it has to be a quote to be in process so that we get to this idea equity and to me bring your to your take on the. the whole mascot thing i mean i think it's kind of solved quite frankly i think it's kind of solved i mean it's like again it's the boat culture living but what we're sort out about it was sort of mean the redskins nobody thought that was really a big do but the logo was drawn by a native american person and i'm from virginia originally and i grew up you know

you need a cowboys fan or risk in saying ok you guys black white natives everybody where in the washington redskins stuff now you can't even say race games anymore you gotta say washington a football team i mean a fighting irish it wasn't for the do i think we've all become a little bit too so there's always a caricature a day as this race or their race or their voice or there's ways we're going to stop being looted a little bit to solve it because the softness is what brings up the luther thing ok we will talk about these mascots saying things that don't really matter then be go way way over the top and say ok if you have a black character they've got to be authentically black whatever some random person who says he's being authentically black because of his soft nature of current modern social justice warrior culture can't wait we've got about a minute left if you if you want to do a final point on to the rajah's right now we have to push back on that i don't think it's appropriate for us.
