summarising to use force to address all the. headlines this hour facebook's oversight board upholds the network's ban on donald trump at least for now although critics to question the rulings impact on free speech online also to come debate rages in france as it marks the death of a man accused of genocide and his balls cost millions of lives we look at whether 2 centuries on the podium merits today's fanfare and celebrations for me to a hero he did a lot for the evolution of france but it cost a lot of freedom a lot of sacrifice that the human level to that's obviously his big mistake may be to have reestablished slavery new york's governor touches a role on earth by suggesting unvaccinated people should avoid their grandparents they made 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 competitive women's sport an issue we caught up with the back to. see just a serious story to. propagate the view that this woman or anything all the all the women don't want to see a man who's transitioned into the male. trance all the rest is coincidence. that good evening is just gone 6 o'clock here in moscow you're watching international now not today facebook's oversight board has ruled on donald trump's return to the platform and instagram held the ban placed on the former president after the capitol riots in
11:02 am
a move that reopens the debate about free speech online so let's cross now to the united states and speak with calum often he's got the latest on this story good evening carol what exactly then has the oversight board set. well the facebook oversight board has ruled that donald trump's ban will remain in place however it'll be 6 months before they make an ultimately permanent decision here's what they said the bullets fall into the 2 posed by mr trump on general with the 6th so we leave it to thies books community standards and the instagram's community guidelines given the seriousness of the violations and the ongoing risk of violence facebook was justified in suspending mr trump's accounts on general the 6th and extending the suspension on generally the 7th however it was not appropriate for facebook to impose an indefinite suspension now facebook says
11:03 am
it should find an appropriate penalty for trump and may look at this is facebook almost playing a game of good cop and bad cop trying to signal different messages now it's important to know this oversight board that many have referred to as facebook supreme court it was created by the chief of facebook however it is considered to be an independent body that is it is stated that facebook has no direct control over the decisions that this board the supreme court of facebook makes now needless to say supporters of donald trump are furious we recently heard marc maddow the former white house chief of staff speaking up about how he considers this to be a sad day for america here's what he said. this is a sad day for america better saturday for. the facebook's of the world who have actually enjoyed a very wild wild west kind of regulatory environment now the decision to freeze
11:04 am
donald trump's social media came in the aftermath of the capitol riots 4 months ago at that point a decision was made to you know to ban donald trump from facebook and from other outlets now mark zuckerberg he said that that that that would last for the next 2 weeks and basically until the peaceful transition of power and once biden was inaugurated you know that ban may or may not continue he didn't say whether or not it would be lifted but it was going to go on for at least 2 weeks well biden was inaugurated but nothing has so far changed for donald trump he remains removed from social media now what is interesting to note is that in 2019 mark zuckerberg said that facebook should not censor politicians this is what he said then what i believe is that in a democracy it's really important that people can see for themselves what politicians are saying that they can make their own judgments and you know i don't
11:05 am
think that a private company should be censoring politicians or news no donald trump is banned from every major social media platform he has launched a website with which he is now communicating with his supporters here's a look at donald trump's new web site. so it seems that the long silence from donald trump people were used to him updating us on twitter and now that silence is broken we get regular updates from donald trump on this personal web site donald trump himself doesn't seem to be particularly bothered by what's going on he's got his own web site he's now communicating with his supporters however many look at this and say ok 1st it was
11:06 am
donald trump who could be next perhaps this has some dangerous implications for freedom of speech and the power of the tech monopolies to influence politics so the need to. continue thanks to kind of that result he's kind of in there reporting from the u.s. . so france's most famous general is waging wars beyond the grave as the country pulls out all the stops to celebrate 200 years since the death debate is raging about whether it's time to cancel the emperor many see him as a genocidal tyrant who killed men who killed millions although his fans do believe he is the nation's greatest ever hero charlotte even ski enters the fray in paris. napoleon bonaparte it's a name that everyone you know is a french emperor colegrove nations 200 years after his death and his ideals still shape france but was napoleon a hero or
11:07 am
a villain. both because he did good things he did a lot for the evolution of fronts but he also destroyed countries during his conquests in fact so it is a bit of both. yes but 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 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 is true 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 the civil population in
11:08 am
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 commemorating napoleon president mac. or will not he's due to lay a wreath at napoleon's team in paris and to make an address to mark the anniversary criticisms arguing in the world where slavery was
11:09 am
a published after it's was abolished nobody has ever since such a thing and i were president the president of the so-called human rights would like to celebrate somebody who is associated with so many crimes that is an acceptable is a dangerous thing 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 because even if you do that if you don't care about your. friends who lost one of your soldiers which is a not for nothing. because of the good of the day he lost everything for example the 1st order of. which was at this time 20 percent of the united states that was lost because of never trust. if you like sedition muster and all of that was
11:10 am
lost even racist word nationalist person should say. 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 at the human level to waive them our 35 you see his big mistake may be to have reestablished slavery but also he brought a lot to france with all his initiatives especially at all of a sudden ministration and then he may have helped make some progress in certain countries maybe. what we heard from the university history lecturer john locke and about this new does claim that many of those seeking to cancel the emperor are actually norrin certain values they 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
11:11 am
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. you know new york governor andrew cuomo he's in the news again this time for suggesting that unvaccinated people could kill their relatives that are for himself was accused of allowing kovi to
11:12 am
spread in care homes with the state's high death toll now revealed. maybe you will get all known whore syndrome but 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 that is of your grandmother survived comas nursing home do you think the moment after you 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 won't get me a grandma well in march 2020 cuomo ordered nursing homes to accept covert 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
11:13 am
kovac mortality rates in the united states with care home deaths at around 14000 the governor is also been accused of hiding the tree figures although he's repeatedly insisted he won't resign as he does not see the miscount as a cover up q years 3320 years died in a hospital died in a nursing home they died tracy elven an advocate for those in this ng holmes and his 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 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 leader in a health department the head of the and i aged out in february telling us citizens that we knew that it was most deadly to the elderly back then in february so when
11:14 am
you sign an executive order that lets a virus that is known to be the most aid all to elderly people even with elderly people i don't want to sound dramatic but that's isn't 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 a little bit deeper less a fact that we have over $15000.00 angels on our side to never discount be angels so to come the saving finicky are his predecessor tells r.t. that the israeli prime minister's career is all but i have a powerful he misses the deadline to form a coalition government but have the details in a couple of minutes. is

11:17 am
part in women's sports but it didn't stop those born female from participating in men's kansas governor brewer 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 there's transfer physical ability not a level playing field it's really stupid kansas should frank very governor for saving them from the stupid while the decision that has come as 5 states to bring such bans into law and 34 others are considering one we talked to lawyers stephanie hayden and radio sports host alan moore about whether the issue is fueled by
11:18 am
transphobia and who should decide if such athletes are allowed to participate. what with the rights of women and its own gender you know the number of times a couple scores on our radio show we spoke with female athletes interviewed that they have concerns for day themselves fearless his arguments going on the board their heads will hear it stay with us you have to soar there is a dangerous well there's a rule who'll take invited you listen think you've got a good will both a lot of the society will reduce the situation and there are you know deadly consequences what this is a balance in my view is using the arguments about access to sport transgender woman and bells as a dog whistle for transpose be at lest the real heya this not sick of what people call pilots command i would say trans women killing all to join
11:19 am
female sports as a way of securing medals that they otherwise would not suit you know if they were competing against biological men in elite sports i don't think that is you know there's there's not transformed me in this and i guarantee that once the green transco leader who is a dog was noticing that my argument saying there well i don't want to see a man who's transitioned into a female that's a greener and placed my daughter in the ring that's not translate to me there's just common sense this is just a scare story which is broad town waltz again too. probably take the view that trans women are anything all the ball of an women in women's 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 office or take the view that
11:20 am
trans women trans gayle's can compete safely and fairly then guys in lots of advantage if we look at the rules are bigger rebroadcasts probably got in the states it's not a child's issue mero compiz rather high schools and universities have to lead or people who present themselves or to approve feel themselves female today should be given the same rights and be american be if human sports is still in the news right now and a lot bigger that's fine or lesser than 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 feeling the way the should be tempered with is that each individual sports violates governing bodies should make
11:21 am
a decision on what is best for the smallest the some sports for example where it can be argued that the said call biological differences are not going to make a difference if your house a beer or a certain way out of the want to propose or there will be a separate category to be male female your next category are the green have to caucus whose solutions are. looking for a sporting point of view or unfortunately a lot of people who know about general interest this court want to get involved in it because it suits their in general and just is not going. 2 were again. female athletes. the sports administrators what is best for europeans or americans to work to be who you are. now almost 400000 cases of cave that have been registered in india with over 3000 people dying every single day it is none wanted
