russia. actually. the top stories this hour debate rages in france as it marks the death of a man accused of genocide and whose walls cost millions of lives we look at whether $2.00 centuries on the merits today's fanfare and celebrations. are here or he did not for the evolution of france but it cost a lot of freedom a lot of sacrifices to human level to pitstop to see his big mistake maybe to have reestablished slavery new york's governor touches a rule on earth by suggesting unvaccinated people should avoid their grandparents i mean allegations his own mismanagement is to blame for nursing home deaths during the pandemic and a kansas governor wins her battle to allow transgender athletes to compete in

women's sport an issue we put up for the fact. this is a serious story to. propagate the view that this woman or anything all the other women don't want to see. the green. grass transform grass is common sense. good afternoon you without international is just gone for clock here in moscow france's most famous general his waging wars beyond the grave as the country pulls out all the stops to celebrate 200 years since the podiums death debate is raging about whether it's high time to cancel the emperor seen by many as a genocidal tyrant who killed millions his fans to hail him as the nation's

greatest ever hear a shot at even 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. 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. 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 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 the 1st time in history we systematically used a racial criteria for gassing exterminating a 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 polling 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 other figure has marked history like him well some former french presidents have

shied away from comment. orating napoleon president mack or not we'll know what 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 word where slavery was. after its was abolished nobody has ever since such a thing and i were president the president of this so called human rights would like to sort of break somebody who was associated with so many crimes that is acceptable is a day of shame mr merkel is not only making. mistakes but also it's a good one that's going to be. 'd 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 in the corridors even if you do that if you don't care about europe if you censor oldest 1000000 soldiers which is a lot and for nothing. because of the good of the day he lost everything for example for borders. which was at this time 20 percent of the united states that's was lost because of luck with your friends had many irons in the indian ocean like sishen mustering all of that was lost if a racist or a nationalist person should say he's a boozer so does that change people's opinion of napoleon also get weak 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 them all said 5 you see his big mistake may be 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 had from university history lecture john locke and about this and he times that many of those actually seeking to cancel. are ignoring certain values they do you 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 and everybody knows that the napoleonic code is still more or less in force that he invented or at least codify it 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 contrary his his influence for good or ill is undeniable throughout the centuries. new york governor andrew cuomo has in the news again this time for suggesting that unvaccinated people could kill lead relatives that after himself was accused of allowing kavi to spread in 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 it or maybe you go home and get your grandmother and wind up killing your grandmother that is if you would run mother 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 awarded nursing homes to accept positive patients because local hospitals were overwhelmed critics say though that that decision increased the death toll among residents new york state is one of the highest cope with mortality rates in the us with care home deaths at around $14000.00 the governor is also being accused of hiding the truth figures however he has repeatedly insisted he won't resign if he does not see the miscount as a cover up. q years 3320 years he died in a hospital dying to nursing home the guy. or tracy alvin an advocate for those in nursing homes and whose father died in

a care facility in long island does think that quote most 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 and 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 puts a virus that is known to be the most lethal elderly people even with elderly people i don't want to sound dramatic but that's isn't 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 he thinks 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 who never discount. transgender females can keep playing women's sport in the us state of kansas is after the state governor won her battle with a local politicians who wanted the ban she vetoed the bill that would have stopped 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 until all children and their families including those who are transgender equality at a high risk of bullying discrimination and suicide can this is an inclusive state and our laws should reflect our values this law doesn't do that since republicans couldn't stop abortions they're on to transgender rights big win for the family and those athletes i'm annoyed by this they have grown up as men head there's threat of

physical ability not a level playing field it's really stupid kansas should frank their governor for saving them from the stupid. well the decision that does come as 5 states bring such bans until $134.00 others are considering it we talked to lawyers stephanie hayden and radio sports hi sally more about whether the issue is a dog whistle for transphobia and who should decide if such athletes should participate what with the rights of women and it's under your new york times a couple sports on our radio show we spoke with female athletes interviewed they have concerns for day themselves feel that this is eric who is going on the board their heads will hear it stay who rushed out to saw her there is that dangerous well there's only 2 who take advantage you listen think you've got a good will over a lot of the society will reduce a situation where there are you know deadly consequences and what this is a ballot in my view is using the argument about access to school to transgendered

women and bells as a dog whistle for transfer to be at let's be real here does not experience of what people call biological man i would say trans women killing all 2 joy in female sports as a way of securing metals that they otherwise would not secure if they were competing against biological men italy sports dog changes you know there's just not transfer already and this and i got into it once the green transco all the dogs are dogs now this is my argument saying that well i don't want to see a man who's transition due to female that's a greener and voiced my daughter in that's not transfer all the dresses commonsense this is just a scare story which is broad town waltz again too. i probably take the

view that trans women are any think all the book other than women you know women sports of women's sports 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 off the top takes the view that trans women tranced else can compete safely and fairly then guys in lots of the day and if we look at the rules who are bigger we broadcast how they got in the states it's not our transitioning mero who compiz their high schools and universities have to or there are people who present themselves or 2 who approved dealer to sell scheme or they should be given the same rights and be there to be a team and sports is sort of being used right now and a lot of the there that's played a lesser in in the states and in the senate floor under the golden rule 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 few the way to ship it out with is that each individual sport vive its governing party east should make its 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 it perhaps a beer or a certain way and that they want to propose a lot of there will be a separate category to be male female arms your next career have to caucus who's solutions are. looking for a sporting point of view or unfortunately a lot of people who know about general interest is court want to get involved in it because it suits their agenda or. just is not going. who are going to get. female

athletes the sports administrators what is best for their people who are still going to be. a tsunami of infections had led has led to almost 400000 french the cases of covidien india with over 3000 people dying every day it is numb wanted global req orgy largely to hospital shortages of oxygen is prompted though some residents to launch their own medical services to help their communities. 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 asked 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 in and around delhi really need this ambulance because you are a medical emergencies if you'd be better for us in kashmir there is also a surge in infections and deaths and these ambulance could be used during an emergency related to 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. he watching out a still comfy the sad thing netanyahu has played assess it tells us see if the israeli prime minister is career is over after he misses the deadline to full accountability. government will have a look at this in more detail just off the back. of all this is driven by shaped by.

the data. thinks. we dare to ask. 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 now the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has missed his chance to form a new coalition government the deadline expired at midnight on choose day his failure to reach an agreement could push these new could party into opposition for the 1st time in well over a decade israel has been in political deadlock for the past 2 years and during this time for parliamentary elections have failed to produce a stable government despite reach next rivals though including their leader wrists mol islamist arab party netanyahu was unable to seal a deal within the 4 we granted by the country's president our sister channel hearty arabic spoke to the former israeli prime minister ehud olmert and he believes that netanyahu is nearing the end of his career. i think that material speaks to us was one everyone knows well and you know using 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 be the next prime minister of israel that 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 didn't win the election so he was manipulating where we went to 4 different election complaints in 2 years because netanyahu couldn't win the elections and therefore when you don't we in the elections when you're in bad shape when you have troubles when you were up to standing court when you have political rivals from all sides what is left for you to do is to yield to shout to to show off. and a mantra school principal is under investigation in florida rafa spanking a 6 year old with a wooden paddle even though corporal punishment is legal in many states many other states say it's child abuse and should be banned with more on the uproar is kind of

. 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 discreetly 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 said 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 bay area schools be 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 only 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 in. 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 preschool 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 on their job description i will definitely make sure that those people go to jail because. i don't think they can play with this is the answer for punishment i think that he said a lot of ways to. make sure that the kids that are in the house 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 you store

a whole 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 in other nations that will not be and this practice until we so that type of violence is going on in our schools and there is no science that proves that this helps and as a matter of fact the top schools in our nation frown upon the use of the word in blood so that kind of tells us something right there about its necessity. some of these great mexico is promising severe punishment for those responsible for the collapse of an overpass which killed 24 people incidents all packed train carriages plunged into a busy road smashing into the vehicles below dozens of people pulled from the wreckage with more than 70 taken to hospital the mexico city mayor says there will be a deep investigation. not

going without a fight in east jerusalem here things got violent outside the house of a family that faces eviction the properties being retrained under law making this possible as it was owned by jews before 948 the family and their supporters though save it shinji's honor for bands of conservatives have been at celebrating madrid as they stormed to victory in local elections there the people's party more than doubled its share of seeing soft advocating anted up time policies during the pandemic got more seats than 3 left leaning parties combined. and i can show up today just kind of top off for the afternoon in moscow i will have more news for you and the headlines to in about half an.

hour food because i thought of course that's all you do for good reason but one thing the movie would do with those workers wasn't it was no. good looking them over there were a bunch of variants and. left with muscle for a while one of the. show i knew because i had some serious damage which we spotted in a stop more of the stage. where she was. so what males have tended to do and still do is is weak tea. and to we certainly have empathy in all of that but we also tend to do nurture through aggression so we

create things like 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 games were created for males to nurture other males to aggression and to teach them how to be empathic few aggression. right. and people who are overweight or obese it's profitable to self. and sugary and salty and. not at the individual level it's not individual well to our different go on believing that never change this obesity epidemic that industry has been influencing very deeply the medical and scientific. what's driving the obesity epidemic it's.

just financial survival. when customers go by. now well we do something. that's undercutting that what's good for the market is not good for the global economy. i'm actually at times you know watching going underground the team and i will be

back for a brand new season with a brand new look on international nurses day wednesday the 12th of may but until then we'll be showing some of your favorite shows from this season stay safe and we'll see them. i'm not sure if you want you can have a lockdown edition of going underground after repeated attacks by only israel by britain the united states and the european union's nations against middle east targets from the suburbs of damascus to the persian gulf to the iranian province of those economic and military violence rages during a global pandemic from latin america. to africa to northern ireland to ukraine let's go straight to rome to speak to the former m i 6 agent and the founder and director of conflicts for him to crook thanks so much for coming on you wouldn't think it's a here in britain where obviously people are grieving over the duke of edinburgh but just take us through some of the latest events i mean there's an attack on an advance nuclear plant an attack on the iranian sub his vessel in the red sea and

yet lloyd austin biden's pentagon boss he's been in israel declaring. his absolute support for the israeli government. yes that's right i think what we're seeing is in fact as something of a division within israel about what to do about this netanyahu has been stuck on on one track on iran by 20 years saying iran is only a few months away or 2 years away at most from a nuclear weapon and he's his policy is basically been one of containment compay forever containment not just containment but forever. that policy is not working and hasn't been working and israeli officials have started to question it and for the 1st time we've heard explicit public pushback from senior security and intelligence officials saying you know actually we'd like to go back to the.
