helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. with. our top stories this hour debate rages in france as it marks the death of a man accused of genocide and whose wars cost millions of lives we look at whether to centuries on napoleon merits today's fanfare and celebrations. for historic hero he did a lot for the evolution of france but it cost a lot of freedom a lot of sacrifice at the human level too that's obviously his big mistake may be to have reestablished slavery to yours government such as a rule on earth by suggesting on banks and the people should avoid their grandparents that amid allegations his own mismanagement is to blame for nursing home deaths during the pandemic and the kansas governor wins her battle to allow

transgender athletes to compete in women's sports an issue we put up with that. this is just a story to. propagate the view that was around this woman on anything over the course of the women don't want to see this transition done to feel female really. well during the transfer all these guys just coincidence. it. that afternoon just gone 3 o'clock here in moscow you watching r.t. international that france's most famous general is waging wars beyond the grave as the country pulls out all the stops to celebrate 200 years since napoleon's death debate is now raging about whether it's actually high time to cancel the emperor seen by many as a genocidal tyrant who killed millions his fans do you hail him as the nation's

greatest ever hero shall have been ski enters the fray in paris. napoleon bonaparte it's a name that everyone you know is a french emperor our whole crew of nations 200 years after his death and his ideals still shape france but wasn't a polian a hero or a villain. a bit of both because he did good things he did a lot for the evolution of france but he also destroyed countries during his conquests in fact so it is a bit of both. yeah bit of both i would say he did a lot for france but obviously he made mistakes too from a foreign policy point of view this is one detail his career in fact he invented everything the civil code so indeed like all great man he did things that are good and then others that are bad and i think he did more good than bad for me he still hero in the 121st century napoleon's legacy seems to be on shaky ground

critics have described the french leader as a racist sexist desperate and there is plenty of evidence to show that napoleon wouldn't cut the mustard in today's world for going for the 1st time in history we systematically used a racial criteria for gassing exterminating the civil population in a manner that was the most economical most rational at the end there were several 1000 dead maybe some tens of thousands of civilians dead murdered in this way simply because of the color of their skin because of the fact that napoleon had reintroduced slavery in the main french colony. despite the mounting case against new polian events all planned in france and belgium to mark the anniversary of his death there is no question of allowing this anniversary to be stolen from us people know perfectly well that he reestablished slavery but you can't reduce him to that no the figure has marked history like him well some former french presidents have

shied away from comment. orating napoleon president mack or not will not he's due to lay a wreath at napoleon's to me in paris and to make an address to mark the anniversary trances in fact the only country in the world where slavery was really established after its was abolished nobody has ever since such a thing and i were president the president of the so called country of german rights would like to celebrate somebody who was associated with so many crimes that is acceptable is a day of shame mr merkel is not only making. a mistake but also a political one. that's going to be. even for the elections he also says that it's ludicrous that france continues to celebrate a loser but it was

a disaster. because even if you don't care about black people or the cause even if you do that if you don't care about your. friends who roast one soldier. which is a lot and for nothing. because of the good of the day he lost everything for example or friends or wonder. which was at this time 20 percent of the united states that's was lost because of never trust. him like sedition muster and all of that was 'd lost even recessed for election is purser should say he's a big loser so does that change people's opinion of napoleon i don't think that we got in these cases yes because in a way he helped france with certain things but it cost a lot of freedom a lot of sacrifice that the human level to wave them off it's obviously his big mistake maybe to have reestablished slavery but also he brought

a lot to france who though his initiatives especially at all levels of administration and then he may have helped make some progress in certain countries maybe. what we heard from university history lecture john mcglynn and he kinds that many have very seeking to cancel the empress i think knowing certain values they actually have in common. the fact is that he is a product of the french revolution and so the left if you like which would want to cancel him and dethrone him for being a racist or whatever. unfortunately is in a rather paradoxical position because of course the left supports the french revolution of which napoleon is a product domestically it is undeniable that his influence is immense everybody knows that the napoleonic code is still more or less in force that he invented or at least codify all kinds of other things including the administrative structure of france and obviously influence the army and the school system and so on and so on

so yes he was a loser on the on the international stage because he was defeated. but he in a way he's not a loser really i would say domestically on the country has his influence for good or ill is undeniable throughout the centuries. now the new york governor andrew cuomo is in a new think again this time for suggesting that unvaccinated people could kill their relatives that after he himself was accused of allowing caving to spreading care homes with the state's high death toll now revealed maybe you will get a long haul syndrome that we're not really sure what it is yet but a lingering consequence of cold. or maybe you go home and get your grandmother and wind up killing your grandmother and as of your grandmother survive whom was nursing home do you think the moment after he said that he was internally

regressing setting himself up like that or is he just clueless i'll never forgive this man for making my friend die alone in a nursing home don't like wrong get me a grandmother. well march 2020 cuomo ordered nursing homes to accept code positive patients because local hospitals were overwhelmed critics say though that decision increased the death toll among residents new york state has one of the highest covert mortality rates in the united states with care home deaths at around 14000 the governor has also been accused of hiding the truth figures however he's repeatedly insisted that he won't resign as he does not see the miscount as a cover up. q years 3320 year he died in hospital died. they died. or tracy alvin an advocate for those in nursing homes and whose father did die in

a care facility in long island thinks that cuomo has comments ignore the reality of the situation. our seniors trusted us to protect them and what do we can we get a governor that failed us that's arrogant and makes these tone deaf remarks that continues to twist denies that he placed in the hearts of us the grieving family members we had our leaders are in hell to arm and the head of the and i each out in february telling us citizens that we knew that it was most deadly to the elderly back then in february so when you sign an executive order that lets a virus that is known to be the most evil elderly people even with elderly people i don't want to sound dramatic but that sounds a lot like murder it's unique and we need to know why he did it was there a monetary reason that he did it all of this needs to be investigated and every time we think he might get away with it he opens his mouth and he buries unsubtle

little bit deeper the fact that we have over 15000 evangelists on our side to never discount. the transgender females can keep playing women sports in the u.s. state of kansas his after the state governor there won her battle with local politicians who wanted a ban she voted the bill has she sorry she vetoed the bill that would have stopped a biological males taking part in women's sports but it didn't stop those born female from participating in men's kansas governor laura kelly explained her position. this legislation sends a devastating message that kansas is not welcome into all children and their families including those who are transgender while already at a high risk of bullying discrimination and suicide kansas is an inclusive state and our laws should reflect our values this law doesn't do that since republicans couldn't stop abortions there aren't a transgender rights big win for the family and those athletes i am annoyed by this

they have grown up as men head there is trance and physical ability not a level playing field it's really stupid kansas should frank very governor for saving them from the stupid well the decision that has come his 5 states bring such bans into law and $34.00 others to consider it we talked to lawyers stephanie hayden and radio sports host alan moore about this and about whether the issue is actually a dog whistle for transphobia and who should decide if such athletes should participate . what with the roys of women and it's under your new york times in couple sports on our radio show recently talking with female athletes interviewed that they have concerns or datum sells fear less is arguments going on the board their heads will hear it stayed. there is a dangerous well the saloon who will take advantage of listen to you but it's a good real goal a lot of the society will reduce a situation where there are no deadly consequences and what this is

a balance in my view is used in the arguments about access to sport plans gentlemen and bells as a dog whistle for transpo me at lest the real heya this not sick here of what people call mileage command i would say trans women killing all to join female sports as a way of securing metals that they otherwise would not secure if they were competing against biological men in elite sports or your dog changes you know there's there's not a transfer all b. and this and i got injured once the green transco leader who is a dog was known as a my argument saying there well i don't want to see a man who's transitioned into a female to greener and placed my daughter in the ring transfer will be just as commonsense this is just a scary story which is through town waltz again too. probably take the

view that trans women are anything all the boss of the women you know women sports of women's thoughts and i'm not saying that it's appropriate in every sport that somebody who was formally male should be allowed to compete in some spots that would be ridiculous however if the governing body of the sport takes the view that trans women trans tales can compete safely and thoroughly then lies in lots of the day and if we look at the rules who are bigger we broadcast how they got in the states or it's not a transition in marrow compiz and the high schools universities have to or there are people who present themselves or 2 who approve feel purcell's female today should be given the same rights and be there to be if you're in sports it's sort of being used right now and a lot to do that's find a lesser in in the states and in the senate floor under the golden rule in the end

. it is so so messy and so dangerous politics should be kept down to sports it is not the business in my opinion of a state legislature to start passing legislation restricting our express to sport for any group in money in the way the should be talent with is that each individual sport via its governing body east should make a decision on what is best for the sport the some sports for example where it can be argued that the said call biological differences are not going to make a difference to have severe or certain way and that the one of the poles lorca will be a separate category to be male female your next category are the really have to focus use solutions that are on the look of a sporting point of view or unfortunately a lot of people who know about general interest in sport want to get involved in it because it suits their examiner and that just is not going. 2 were again.

female athletes. the sports administrators what is best for people in the us to work to be. a tsunami of infections has led to almost 400000 registered cases of covert in india at the moment the over 3000 people dying every day it is a number wanted global recall g. largely to hospital shortages of oxygen a quarter described the situation is tantamount to genocide as funeral pyres and burning almost nonstop while countries ascending and. i am happy to help others during a medical emergency i myself tested positive for cover 19 and at that time the

situation was very critical when i was discharged from the hospital i decided to create a water ambulance to benefit the people who are living in da lake i ask people to call me during the covert emergency i will definitely help them even if it's night . it is good for the people even then it is around delhi really need this ambulance because you are a medical emergencies it could be better for us in kashmir there is also a surge in infections and deaths at least ambulance could be used during an emergency related to a coronavirus. when

we find homeless people on the streets check their needs and help them live a dignified life we received information that this homeless man has been here for the last 3 days he's not well we're going to conduct a covert test for him and if he is negative he will be sent to a shelter home. watching out a still ahead he let this wednesday benyamin netanyahu his previous test it tells us a that the israeli prime minister's career is over after he misses the deadline to form a coalition government when. i didn't get this in a couple of minutes. so what males have tended to do and still do is is we tend to we certainly have

empathy and all of that but we also tend to do nurture through aggression so we create things like soccer and football and you know all of the various hundreds of games that involve aggression now women are aggressive and can play those games no doubt very well but when you go back to why they were created those skins were created for males to nurture other males to aggression to teach them how to be empathic through aggression. how should we interpret the recent f.b.i. raid on the home of former trump lawyer rudy giuliani a legitimate investigation into wrongdoing or a strong and very public political warning is trump his former circle and supporters the real target can the average citizen trust the f.b.i. .

welcome back with r.t. now the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu dismissed his chance to form a new coalition government the deadline expired at midnight on tuesday his failure to reach an agreement could push easily could party into opposition for the 1st time in well over a decade israel has been in political deadlock for the past 2 years ensuring this time for parliamentary elections have failed to produce a stable government spite reaching out to rivals including the leader of a small islamist arab party netanyahu was unable to see the deal within the 4 we were granted by the country's president when our sister channel r.t. arabic spoke to former israeli prime minister ehud olmert and he believes that netanyahu is nearing the end of his career. speaks 2 words for us while everyone goes well you know easing in

a very very bad situation he is at the very end of his career he's going to be kicked out from the government he's not going to really explode when the stove is well lit a sailor really 2 years ago and i was right in our last interview i told you he will not win any elections when you deal with the elections so you will really believe thing where we went to 4 different election complaints in 2 years because no 10 year old couldn't win the elections and therefore when your dog when the elections when you're in both cheap when you have troubles when you were to stand in the court when you have political rose from all sides what is left for you to do is to yell to shout to to show off. an elementary school principal is under investigation in florida rafter spanking a 6 year old with a wooden paddle even though corporal punishment is legal in many states many others do say it's child abuse and should be banned with more on the uproar he's kind of

mopping. now you would think that teachers beating their students in order to keep them in line is a thing of the past and certainly doesn't happen nowadays well if you think that you are wrong a recent incident in florida caught on video sparked outrage here's what happened to a 6 year old girl who allegedly damaged a school computer and there is disturbing video this morning of a school principal hitting a 6 year old student with a wooden paddle now the video was recorded by her mother she came to the school in order to pay a fine for the damage to property now the mother did not speak english and feared for her immigration status so rather than intervene she just screamed he took out her phone and recorded how the principal spanked her daughter with the help of another staff member nobody would have believed me i sick my daughter so old parents can realize what's happening in the school now the official rules of county school don't permit for students to be hit but apparently it does happen however

many counties throughout florida do have official policies permitting the use of corporal punishment elementary school principals are now able to paddle misbehaving students in marion county and many people at our morning news meeting wondered could bear his schools the next piece of video showing 2 adults at an elementary school in georgia prepared to paddle a 5 year old child it's perfectly legal in that state and in 18 other states 19 u.s. states maintain laws allowing corporal punishment in public schools and almost every state keeps it legal in private schools now some say this is just part of the religious and traditional cultures of some regions throughout the united states but others say this is an outdated authoritarian practice pretty much child abuse and it has no place in modern education if our point is in giving indications to our children who would employ reduces the amount of education and. mind set that a child could have while learning so i would say since that's the point of going to

school been. we're dealing with a wooden board is counterproductive to all children having the possibility to excel in schools whether it's a poor school or very well reschooling children do better when they feel safe people across the country have very strong opinions about this disciplinary practice i feel like that's sort of something that a parent should do like that kind of discipline should come from parents and teachers should. just shouldn't be allowed to do that it's not in their job description i will definitely make sure that those people build to jail because. i don't think they can tell you this is the answer for a hunted man i think he said there was a lot of ways to. make sure that the kids were in the house listens to the fact that beating children as a routine form of punishment in schools across the country certainly flies in the face of the image the united states has constructed for itself around the world the very sad thing about it is that i mean there are historical reasons i'll put it

like that for why re still having it but i think one of the saddest things about it is that there are over 2 dozen other nations that will not be and this practice until we so that type of violence is going on in our schools and there's no signs that proves that this helps and as a matter of fact the top schools in our nation frown upon the use of the word employed so that kind of tells us something right there about its necessity. russia has branded france's summoning of its ambassador to paris is an e.u. coordinated political stunt does come off to moscow to play sanctions on 8 e.u. citizens and restrictions on diplomatic missions in russia in our opinion the fact that the russian ambassador to france was summoned to the country's foreign ministry is clearly part of a political stunt coordinated by you member states and mostly repeats what was said

to russia's representative to the u. . the blog previously levied sanctions against russia and some member states expelled diplomats over the jailing of alexina valley russia has placed a travel ban on 8 top e.u. officials in retaliation a move the president branded groundless moscow stressed the move was an act of protest though adding it could be reversed at any moment we have repeatedly made it clear that it wasn't asked for started this war for sanctions but to tell you moments we are ready to walk our part of the path to end this pointless confrontation in which there will not and cannot be any when this hostile policy towards russia has been pursued by only a small group of individual countries to their own detriment little commentators on brink one does believe he is simply following the example set by the united states . well again is did the mean the russians or lodges in that started the sanctions regime and the sanctions game so i would see their delusions of change must know

that and the europeans must know that to mohali the hobby and says that they're terribly following the americans this is the european parliament hill bob among the political leader who's elected don't do this at least but of his book initial mistake. with a gun sequence of his actions will be there in both your bill and barbara meant as an. answer the give of the guns and largely the world you. don't think about what's going to happen so that. these decisions over who waited it just isn't that they go on the of course it's leading to the heightened tension between bush and the innate sense that there's a saying that the business of the united states and the united states reaching just for the source of. the movie do you happen to recede with that of course you have to look to see the bigger than this just for the u.s. . ok before we go to movies in brief now mexico is promising severe punishment for those responsible for the collapse of an overpass in which 24 people died the
