facebook's oversight board up holds the networks on donald trump at least for now though critics question the rulings impacts on free speech. debates rages in france as it marked for death of a man accused of genocide and whose wars cost millions of lives we look at whether 2 centuries on the podium merits today's fanfare and celebration. for me to hear oh he did a lot for the evolution of france but it cost a lot of freedom and that of sacrifice it to human level to her son to see his big mistake may be to have reestablished slavery. new york's governor touches a rule was just thing out of our people should avoid their grandparents that are made allegations over mismanagement is to blame for nursing home bess touring the

pandemic. the kansas governor wins have allowed transgender athletes to compete in women's sports an issue we put up for debate. this is just a story to. probably get a view that this woman or anything over all the women want to see who's trying to do to. my daughter and grandson transfer just coincidence. live from moscow thanks for joining us tonight here on r.t. international and daniel hawkins welcome to the program. not today facebook's oversight board has ruled on donald trump's return. the platform on instagram it up

held the band placed on a former president of the capitol riots in a move that reopens debates about free speech online for more on this on now joined by pulpit caitiff thanks for being across the story today what exactly did the oversight board say would have trouble chances of getting online again while the facebook oversight board presented a ruling saying that they will uphold the current ban on donald trump from facebook he won't be returning but they'll make a decision about whether or not the ban is permanent in 6 months now many look at this ruling as an attempt almost play good cop bad cop to not make it clear decision yet here's what was in the ruling from the facebook oversight board. the books for the 2 posed by mr trump on general with the 6th. 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 6 and extended that suspension on generally the 7th however it was not appropriate for facebook to impose an indefinite suspension now the facebook oversight board which has been referred to widely as the supreme court of facebook was 'd created at the decision of mark zuckerberg the chief of facebook however he does not control it though it's funded by the facebook corporation its decisions are said to be independent of what the private corporation wants now the ban on donald trump was imposed after the january 6th capital riots and at that point mark zuckerberg said that donald trump would remain off facebook to ensure a peaceful transition of power however 2 weeks later donald trump was out of the white house joe biden had taken the oath of office donald trump remained off facebook and that has been the case for 4 months for 4 months donald trump has not

been on facebook major social media outlets and banned him now he has set up his own web site at this point in order to communicate with his supporters they're now getting regular updates from him just like when he was on twitter but donald trump reacted to today's decision by the facebook oversight board calling it a disgrace and here's what we heard from trump. what facebook twitter and google have done is a total disgrace and an embarrassment so country these corrupt social media companies must pay a political price and must never again be allowed to destroy and decimate electoral processes. now the case raises lots of big questions about this facebook oversight board that is not elected and is not particularly transparent and how its decisions are reached and their influence in american politics and it's also worth noting that mark zuckerberg the chief of facebook that he actually at one point said in

2019 that private companies shouldn't be censoring politicians this is what he said back 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 think that a private company should be censoring politicians or news. with thanks for that live from new york. the france's most famous general is beyond the grave the country pulls out all the stops to celebrate 600 years since the podium is death debate is raging about whether it's time to cancel the emperor when you see him as a genocidal tyrant who killed millions though because friends believe he's the nation's greatest ever hear of so lewinsky enters the fray in paris. napoleon

bonaparte it's a name that everyone you know is a french emperor conqueror of nations 200 years after his death and his ideals still shape france but wasn't a polian a hero or a villain i'm pretty good. 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 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 in his career in fact he invented everything the civil code so indeed like all great man he didn't things that are good and others that are bad and i think he didn't want them bad for me is to a 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 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 the polian 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 the figure has marked history like him while some former french presidents have shied away from. 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 krentz is in fact the only country in the world where slavery was as we established after it's was abolished nobody has ever since such a thing and i were president the president of a so called country jim and 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 make you know the word mistake but also but it's a good one that's going to be. even for you that shows 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 color of his even if you do you really shouldn't care about europe that france who lost one of

the german soldiers which is a nazi and for nothing. because of the good of the day he lost everything for example of the 1st order. which was at this time 20 percent of the united states that was lost because of never trust. indian ocean like i say should muster and all of that was lost even research or russia's purser should say he's a big loser so does that change people's opinion of napoleon again we got in these cases yes because in a way he helped france with certain things but it cost a lot of freedom and lot of sacrifice at the human level to vote them off that's obviously his big mistake maybe to have reestablished slavery but also he brought a lot to france with all his initiatives especially at all levels of administration and then he may have helped make some progress in 7 countries maybe. we had from

you know. plenty claims many of those seeking to counsel him from are actually ignoring 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 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 in the country his his influence for good or ill is undeniable throughout the centuries. your governor andrew cuomo is in the news again this type of thing that unvaccinated people could kill their relatives that after he himself is accused of allowing code to spread in care homes with the state's high death toll now or the. 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 that is if you would remark that survived 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. in march 2020 cuomo ordered nursing homes to accept code positive patients because local hospitals were overwhelmed for addicts say that decision increased the death toll among residents new york state has one of the highest covered mortality rates in the u.s. with deaths at around 14000 the governor has also been accused of hiding the true figures however he's repeatedly insisted he won't resign he does not see the mist celt as a cover up. q years 3328 died in a hospital died in a nursing home they died tracy alva in and out of that for those. whose father died in a care facility on long island thanks quos 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 and 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 puts a virus that is known to be the most evil elderly people in with the 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 angels on our side who never discount. the european commission says it plans to tighten foreign

investment rules in the block with a particular are rooting out unfair competition from china. when you open your home to guests then of course i think you as i expect your guests to treat your belongings your furniture. as as as you would do just self with the same sense of care because they are guests and it's the same without single markets we want every company that operates in europe no matter where it comes from to respect our house rules and one of the oldest rules that we have is that we don't allow subsidies which harms fair competition or the president of the european commission pointed out that the proposed mergers are to ensure a level playing field in the block it's been prompting a prompted by a recent surge of foreign takeovers of e.u. companies and fears of a further buying spree of firms whose share prices have dropped to

a pound. or the commission says it wants to investigate takeovers worth 250000000 euros or more and also was the exam in deals that involve foreign subsidies over all this has yet to be agreed by e.u. member states companies are expected to lobby hard against that but also comes as a massive investment dealers suspended over concerns about human rights issues in china let's cross live now to joseph gregory mahoney a political analyst thanks for joining us you're the program today this stated goal is to build europe a stronger more resilient economy will it work. a long paper it is sensible in many respects but let's be clear the proposal is not directed at china explicitly it does convey considerable implications for trade we're trying to but there are other concerns at work as well for example trump when he was in office and the kate and inclination towards

a new nationalization of certain industries those related to a 5 g. and chips for example and the trend we see now just with the type of national industrial policy in the us under buy with broad bipartisan support from congress that's a problem that surviving sooner rather than later and this proposal that we're saying would not only deal with china but also that potentiality however there's also a problem of double standards both in direct and direct european subsidies or european companies have been substantial pre-code but also during the public crisis and if we see double standards persist it will provoke a lot more work. as we saw previously with the ad bus blowing conflict between the u.s. and e.u. and it's unlikely to make anyone happy in the meantime once the rulings come out and while we say this is a song to china specifically china is of course the biggest trading partner do you think that we're nations that could be jeopardized by restricting flows of

investment. certainly but it seems at least 3 developments are intersecting to limit chinese investment in europe. china's new national development strategy plus its quick recovery and return to high growth these are encouraging much less chinese investment that we saw before close 2nd there are matching political and economic risk in europe including prospects for recovery whether we'll see a green government land whether biden will lead an effective reset of e.u. us relations to china's expense as well as other developments and 3rd whether europe is really committed to positive relations with china given the shans young related sanctions as well as this new proposal now what this means for overall trade is unclear but each of these factors risks undermining trade relations broadly and may end up restricting your connections to the chinese market just in terms of how this will affect businesses within the e.u. all this in the pandemic has had many businesses hot especially small medium sized

ones do you think many of the new phone by outside the only option with the best option and this is going to restrict that choice. you know it's like it was a major story recently in the wall street journal detailing how businesses in europe have been substantially subsidized to protect incomes and employed unemployment during code and these are continuing now these are not dissimilar from chinese efforts to put people over profits with state owned enterprises last year when china was struggling with a pandemic one problem western countries are struggling to deal with is how china in response to the global financial crisis back in 08 began to construct a rational regime of macro controls that can respond to crises and less reactionary ways these developments haven't happened in europe or the us yet because they remain wedded to certain idealistic notions of free trade and limited government and i think we're still seeing that kind of idealism at work in this proposal

ironically but understandably in the midst of a crisis when european farms are struggling and chinese firms less know and this raises really another implication which is whether these governments are trying to avoid fire sales to chinese investors who are flush with cash at a time when others are struggling because this would really reenergize nationalism in europe which above all. on these rules these proposals haven't yet been finalized all funny do you think that a sense of unity among all member states these proposals do you think all of them will be ready to sign up there will be significant and dances for some to vote against and usually conventional wisdom says it's unlikely that all will support however that same wisdom was overturned when all member states supported that change unrelated sanctions my sense is that european companies already face considerable headway to attract major chinese investment and adding more

restrictions will likely hurt you're more than some attention but in line with some of the anti china sentiment seen in brussels and elsewhere. so as of program only thanks so much for your take here today on the story. political and us thanks so much. all strands gender females can keep playing women sports in the u.s. state of kansas that's after state governor one of her battle with local politicians who wanted a ban she vetoed the bill that would have stopped the biological males taking part in women's sports it didn't stop those board female load from participating in men's competitions kansas governor laura kelly explained her position this legislation sends a devastating message that kansas is not welcoming to 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 and there aren't too transgender rights big win for the family and those athletes i am annoyed by this they have grown up as men head there is threatened with physical ability not a level playing field it's really stupid kansas should frank very governor for saving them from the stupid or that decision comes as 5 states bring such buyers into lauren $34.00 others are considering it we spoke to lawyer stephanie hayden and radio sports host out of more about whether the issue fueled by transfer libya and who should decide if such our thoughts are allowed to 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 clearly there as his arguments going on the board their heads who hear it stay who have to sort for there is a dangerous well there's a loop who will take advantage you listen think you're going to grill both

a lot of the society who really believes the situation and here there are you know deadly consequences what this is a ballot in my view is using the argument about access to school to transgender women and bells as a dog whistle for transpose be at lest the real heya does not stick here in what people call biological man i would say trans women killing all the joy in female sports as a way of securing metals that they otherwise would not secure if they were competing against biological men in elite sports i don't think that is you know there's there's not transfer already in this and i guarantee that once we bring in trance albeit that it is a dog whistle now you're saying that my argument saying that i don't want to see a man who's transition due to be or female to greener and placed my daughter in the

ring does not transfer all the russias common sense this is just a scare story which is brought town waltz again too. i probably take the view that trans women are anything all the ball all the women in women's sports and women's sports and i'm not saying that'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 tranced else can compete safely and thoroughly then guys are lots of the done to preserve the rules were bigger we probably got in the states it's not our transitioning mero who compiz other high schools and universities have to letter people who present themselves or 2 who approved feel themselves female today should be given the same rights and be there to be a team and sports is still in the news right now and

a lot bigger that's flowing into less assertion 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 school for any group imagine feeling the way the should be dealt with is that each individual sport violates governing body least 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 how severe their 3rd wary and of the one of the poles or the will be their separate category to be male female arms. and an extraordinary or have to caucus whose solutions are. looking from a sporting point of view or unfortunately

a lot of people who know about general interest scored want to get involved in it because it suits their agenda or that just is not true. who are going to get. the male athletes the people the sports administrators what is best for european boromir stewart to be. almost 400000 cases of code have been registered in india with over 3000 people dying every day is an unwanted global recall of stewed largely to hospital sources of oxygen it's prompted 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 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 man is around delhi really need these ambulance because you are a medical emergencies it could be beneficial for us in kashmir there is also a surge in infections and deaths at least ambulance could be used during an emergency related to corona virus.

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. israel's president as taps opposition leader. to form a new coalition government and what many claim could spell the end of the benjamin it. era the political future of the prime minister was thrown into question for the 1st time in over a decade when he failed to secure a majority in the 120 seat parliament israel has been in political deadlock for the past 2 years during this time for parliament to elections or failed to produce a stable government despite reaching out to rivals including the leader of
