oh, the awe and headlines that shake the weak china is missus political like president biden's probe into the origins of coven, the law blake fairies now gaining traction in the media which previously rejected it when the terms of ministration made the very same claim. the isolation of a nation, valerie space is a power outage of criticism enclosed as space from the passenger jets to make an emergency diversion to minutes. co very coach bomb threat tenant opposition activists on board with the rest of the cities in america back to try and call the decisions to cut police funding of the crime rate search and the white house because of the demick of gun violence. ah,

by there. thanks. so much for joining us. this is nancy international jain is once again refuted claims. the corona virus originated from one of the country's labs that comes up to the u. s. said that is doubling down on efforts to find the source of the pandemic with all his anti saskia taylor. remember donald trump and his administration's take on the corona virus. the chinese virus comes lou. the china virus calling lou janie's flew to china flew. there's enormous evidence that that's where the big yet, remember trend has a history of infecting the world and they have a history of running sub standard laboratories. these are not the 1st times that we've had a world exposed to virus as a result of failures in a chinese lab. remember how his theory about the virus escaping from

a lab with labeled racist and mad. a wall won't stop a virus, racism won't stop a virus. do your job. well, it turns out now it's not racist, but a totally rational ferry. why? because it's not trump peddling it. all you have this year fresh in the oval office bite and let me shut down a trump era top secret operation to look into the origins of the pandemic. and specifically, what the virus leaked from the woo hon institute of fi, rolla, g, q, his own, altering off her port into the origins of the pandemic. with the lovely one of the top 2 fairies, which is much more valid because fightin are not trump wanted at, i've no off the intelligence community to redouble their efforts to collect and analyze information that could bring us closer to a definitive conclusion and report back to me in 90 days and just as quickly as

biden decided that it's not racist or not, but the to summit and in the interests of public safety. so when sedan lee did others a new york times, john, i thought i decided pro, incidentally totally a previous tweet about the problematic nature of the lab leak theory and big tech, which month has been binding. any coven conspiracy theories has coincidentally decided to give the delete button a bit of a break in light of ongoing investigation since the origin of course 19, and in consultation with public health experts, we will no longer remove the claim that covered 19 is men made or manufactured from our apps. in fact, the only one who's actually stuck to its guns in china lately, some people have played the old trick of political high on the origins ration of covered 19 in the world smear campaign and blame shift. and i'm making a come back and the conspiracy theory of love league is resurfacing as cool that

more transparency from basic catholic menton as the woo how meek theory begins to enter the mainstream. and people pick aside the w h o has decided to sit on the fence bony, recent need determining that the hypothesis was highly unlikely, but at the same time can't be entirely ruled out where the virus originated remains to be determined. but one thing is for sure, a theory can todd from conspiracy to credible as quickly as the establishment decides which on trump would probably tweak about if you know you thought twitter. but then again, we're talking about trump. he always finds a way. now everybody's agreeing that i was right when i very early on cold one as the source of koby 19, sometimes referred to as the china virus. to me was obvious from the beginning, but i was badly criticized as usual. now they are all saying he was right, thank you absolutely vindicated. now remember facebook and others

still won't allow people in my country to even contest suggest there may be an election might not be on the up and up. so they're very slow to issue a reprieve. so there must be a lot of evidence for them to go this far. this is a trump victory, and as was stated to bad, he can't speak as to social media as reprieve because they have not allowed him a reprieve from his prohibition on the platform. in the 1st place, a former president, i sure that this is another example of the insane world that we're living in. and instead of people going to joe biden and say, wait a minute or whoever is running to show today, why are you changing your mind? oh no, no, we're going to have an investigation into this. you just realize this. now,

this is just come to you just, you're just made aware of this. dear god, what else have you just become aware of? i mean, it's really frightening. the pulling a huge diplomatic storm over the false diversion of a passenger plane to bela roost. the country president alexander lucas shanker, has been defending the move, claiming the laws were broken. the wrong plane was intercepted by 5 digits in order to make an emergency landing over a hoax. bomb threats, but an opposition activist on board was then arrested. the event spoke protests in some european cities, members of the russian diaspora rallied alongside locals and supported political prisoners. valerie still says, there is no political persecution in the country. the u. s. n. d, a drawing up coordinated sanctions against members of shank as government both advise against flying through better russian space. putting so question whether the west is in a position to lecture bella. ruth,

aren't easiest on explain this week. it seems there was no bigger scoundrel in the world than this man. alexander lucas shinkel, the president of bella ross, that's after a ryan f flight, had to make an emergency landing in minsk because of a bomb threat according to the bill of russian authorities. but there was no bomb. instead quite conveniently, for lucca shan't go. one of the most outspoken opposition activists roman protest savage, just so happened to be on board. and when he got arrested, the collective west didn't like it. not one bit. we strongly condemn the lucca shameka regimes. brazen and shocking acts to divert a commercial flight in the rest. the journalist. look at saint luke's sancho has done as a disgrace. that's hard to suppose. here, the lights of more than 107 passengers were in danger. in order to arrest a journalist, the height of the plane on the attention of the passage is it's something that

was completed and said to me and we really started discussing the implementation of the secretary over there. but i'm exemptions now, along with proto, savage, his girlfriend was arrested as well accused of dog saying bell russian security officers essentially calling on lynch mobs to go get them. and one by one e, you, nations began to close the ad space to barrows, national airline, while europe based carriers in turn refused to fly over the country to russia dentistry. she'd have to understand that this will have consequences and we're looking into sanctions against the ation sector in but i was live on the cd. we have decided to prohibit the bell russian airline from accessing european airports to invite europe and airlines and you not to fly over bell russian territory to force landing a jet simply so you can extract

a political thorn on the heard of except it really isn't because back in 2013, several countries closed off the space to the jet of bolivian president evil morality, which was grounded in vienna, simply because the us suspected edward snowden was on board, which he was in, by the way. but america wanted him arrested so badly. it was willing to ground a president's personal plane. the bolivian presidents claim was once forced land. the president was taken out of the plain, but nothing was said about that silence. in 2016 ukraine, grounded a, been a russian commercial jet, also arresting an opposition activist who was on board. but of course, this time it's all different. so the e u has frozen its investment into bellows. the whole 3000000000 euros of it. there is a tendency in the west, unfortunately not to regard sanctions as inactive war when in fact it is inactive

war. it's just a lower level of warfare before shooting war. this is particularly dangerous in the sense that if, if europe, europe in its allies of the us, britain and get together in the rapid reaction, g 7 mechanism and put sanctions on beller road, for instance. then you have a problem because this is really standing between russia and the european union and who's gonna, who's going to be the victim of this is going to be the people of bella roost. one been a russian opposition figure in exile. took the idea of financial incentive if you like to a whole new level, offering 11000000 euros to anyone who arrests location go. just get clint eastwood on the case already. who? oh and yes. perhaps the grounding of the ryan had jet

wasn't exactly the sort of thing you'd expect to see in a democracy. remember, though, we are still talking about the man, the media, branded europe's last dictator. and who can blame him if he can play the game as well as his big and a very democratic brother the us? that's an obvious point of hypocrisy in how this story is being framed. that's not to say that there is a debate regarding international law, whether a government scrambling its air force to ground commercial airliner over its air space. and also in apprehending somebody from a commercial flight that's, that's a legitimate point of debate. however, to say that this is unprecedented, or to say that of this never happens in the west is a ridiculous proposition. and so we, this is time and time again. we see this every time, the western media governments,

they don't look at the wider context of what's going on. and if you look at the internal affairs of bella rues, and how much pressure is also being put to bear on the country from the outside, from these very powers that are condemning this act. it's a very different story and it's a much wider discussion that needs to be had rapidly rising crime rates in america. forcing some officials to rethink plans to defend the police. on wednesday, whitehouse spokesperson said that gun violence was spiraling out of control of drake. people were killed in the latest mass shooting this time in san jose in california. we are suffering from an epidemic of gun violence in this country, both in mass shooting and in the lives that are being taken in daily gun violence that doesn't make national headlines. vehicles to cut funding and even abolish and todd police department started last year holding the death of george floyd an officer since being convicted of his murder. more than 20 major us cities have now

reduced their police budgets. are the the i am for massive structural and transformational reform. we will not be increasing our police budget. we will be moving funding from the n y p be to use initiatives and social services. many democratic party politicians around the country heard the cry of the protesters, but now as crime surges, many of them are backtracking. fatal shootings in minneapolis and 2021 have nearly doubled from last year. there have been 3 times as many carjackings. this is the very same city where george floyd killing last year, sparked protests, crying the fun, the police all over the country. but now in minneapolis, that refund to police,

big overarching statements that we're going to defined or abolish and dismantle the police department to get rid of all the officers with an impact that needs to stop . it's unacceptable. we should be holding those perpetrators accountable to include safety beyond policing, and it includes police. now the city council is increasing the police department budget by $6400000.00 after cutting it by 8000000 last year. in april of this year, there had been 166 percent more shootings in new york city than there were in april of 2020 new york city mayor bill de blasio who wants pledge to cut the police budget by a $1000000000.00 as now promise to build an entirely new police precinct in queens . this is something that for decades the community asked for it was one or the other, which was the choice in 2020. we leaned into the investments in the young people. now thankfully we have resources to address both these issues. and the 1st month of

this year the city of los angeles has seen an increase in shooting compared to the same timeframe last year. now that democrat mayer, the same one who jumped on the d fund, the police bandwagon is calling for an increase in the police budget. the city council wants $250.00 more officers to be hired if you want to abolish the police. you're talking to the wrong there. now the mayor of st. louis is sticking to her gun despite having one of the highest murder rates in the country. not only does she want to defend the police, she also wants to shut down the jail. no human being should be caged for weeks and months on end with little certainty of when and if they'll ever see their family again. we share a commitment to reducing harm in our communities and ending the cycles of trauma that have course far too many of our neighbors to be locked up in our cities jails . the number one reason why crime keeps going up is because of politicians. politicians keep doing everything they can to weaken the system to make the public more happy. and you're not asking the right questions which are, what is the point?

what is the public doing in criminal aspects, which is calling the police lawfully act the way they do. and then the public is in there are an educated, ignorant, misguided eyes seeing this as police brutality. so the public really needs to step up to the plate. they need to come to the table. they need to be educated on why the police do what they do, need to understand laws. they need to understand department policies a year after the killing of george floyd and joe biden's police reform bill is not exactly a hit in congress. americans do not see eye to eye while crime is rising. outrage about police brutality and killings is also sky. hi, caleb bobbin r t new york. growing number of asian americans are buying farms for the very 1st time following a surgeon, hate crimes. joining lobby groups to resist the push for strict to gun those by the democratic party. there is a real and imminent threat and we need to defend ourselves and our loved ones. we

refuse to be silent, and we refuse to be victims. began re copays for me last year. i'm the father of a mixed asian family. my wife is 100 percent chinese american. and so it's my daughter and we were just walking down the street as we normally do to go to simple park when a menacing group is folks that showed up in a pickup truck and yelled a bunch of racial borders that us and said at us, out the window and that just really got me thinking, you know, what, what would have happened if i hadn't been there? would they've been more aggressive, would they have followed my wife home and done something even worse? and so that really just kind of pointed to see, to me that, you know, you really do have to take personal attraction into your own hands, especially in its own little group like the asian american community. which historically isn't known for don ownership or things of that nature. scott kane, as since co founded the asian american and pacific garden gunner and his group fits,

got thousands of follows on social media and encourages responsible ownership of firearms as well as resistance to policy seen as to restrictive attacks on asian americans have jumped 164 percent of the major us cities since the pandemic in comparison to the same period last year. new york, san francisco, and they showed the biggest increases with hate crimes continuing to spike the scot. kane again says that us gun culture is changed and the current administration needs to take that into account. i think that today's gun ownership is not you know, the traditional, conservative beer to dude and tactical gear with tattoos and a mega had its minorities and people of color. you know,

the bite administration with some of the proposals on the table would turn many of his constituents into criminals. overnight. i you, our mission as educating policy maker is more or less to what the realize that gun ownership is changed. it's not the stereotypical letter a member anymore. we're coming from the perspective of liberal biden's supporters. i personally voted democrat and every election since 2004. and i think there's just the role need for this kind of a group in the, in the world that has a different perspective than not where you see her into from shall i can her the to a racist shakespeare's pawn shop for linking whiteness to beauty is seen the plays of the fame was called into question. the london theater launch again, 2 races. seminole found about works the story of the the

ah, with the united states, it's very clear that united states has aligned itself with warlords and drug lords war criminals. basically. while the afghan people suffer, so as united states has been about $150000000000.00 us dollars trying to rebuild afghanistan, there is almost nothing to be seen from that. when the united states government special inspector general has gone out to look for the schools and the health care centers, when journalists have gone to look out the nice things that the united states supposedly built, they can't be found. ah, rather driven by dreams shaped by the in

me dares thing. we dare to ask me. ah, a highly anticipated summit between lady ban putin and jo button has finally been confirmed. the meeting will take place in the swift city of geneva, on june 16th. it will be the 1st time that come face to face as presidents preparations get under way for the summit. let's take a look at some of the key moments of the relationship from the past couple of months. you know, veteran report, you think he's a killer. i do what price must he pay? oppression is going to pay. well, you'll see shortly when i was

a child and we had arguments in the courtyard. we were saying benches of me and sticks to you. and it's not just the children saying the meaning is very present by regret calling father. i know that the president gave a direct answer to a direct question, but you people, i want to invite president biden to continue our discussion. but on the condition, it's going to be live on line. we want to stable, predict the relationship or the sex on the book. it gave us more details about the summit and what it could mean for global politics. this meeting comes at a time when the relationship between the 2 countries are rather strained. and it's not so much the diplomatic bodies that have been preparing this meeting. but rather the security body's the half of the security council's on both sides and partition

from russia. jake solomon national security adviser to joe biden, on the american side, and i think that is actually a demonstration of the other degradation of public policy and diplomacy between russia and the united states. the sort of commons at the american side has allowed itself to make and reason times remember of biting calling, who tin killer. and i think an interesting detail about this whole thing is that the preparations for this meeting had started long before that comment. and in russia, they were in the comments, was interpreted as, as an effort by why camp within the biden administration, john did mind this meeting. both sides understand very well that that relationship is indeed the worst time in its bilateral history. it's worse than it used to be in the cold war, simply because there is no framework that you know, keeps it from deteriorating even during the cold war times there were many

agreements dog prevented the both sides from sort of piling up all onto one another . those works have been taught 2 generations, but it seems that there are still lessons to be learned about shakespeare, london theater now, plans to de colonize his place, claiming that the racist for linking whiteness to beauty, the globe foods last anti racist, shakespeare seminars for teachers, students and 3rd, professionals designed to address problematic gendered and racialized dynamics. activists claim, the playwright promoted white is positive, and black is negative. we put the issue of the debate, the colonizing traits, where maybe they ought to de colonize the bible. i think all that doing has deliberate, the misunderstanding, the use of the word, demean, beautiful. it doesn't have to mean it doesn't have to mean blonde. it doesn't have to mean white under suddenly a scribe racial value to it is just meaningless and sensitive

and really going mad. holistic shakespeare. yes, he wrote and it's time and one can view it as being political, correct. but on the other hand, they are loaded words these days and you know that the, the, either of it's the fairies or whatever it was was always a light character. darkness is always the sign, certainly in the euro centric view of wickedness and evil. one has to have some balance, keep the historical perspective, but also be sensitive to the needs of young people who are listening and watching this and may make that connection whether or not this is c gender. i don't complex to draw conclusions based on color is just over sensitivity, run mad. but the other point is that the whole of history never mind changed. but the whole history with you go back to just chill with you all when they've been having and go in those days. attitude would different. now we're not defending

those attitudes. i think we have a better approach to all these issues and we, we recognize the underlying quality of people in a way the case earlier. but if we often say, well, we will abandon all literature and all poetry. the visa much majority must again be with a sensitivity and needs of the minorities in those audiences. and it is about changing the landscape and not having and narrative simply because it's 600 years old. they will change full wits rate. that was the norm. 600 years ago, we're not that that, that is in a sense pos on the experience today. what has to be on the sensors is to everybody in the audience and not just the view of the traditionalists. they're always rice and under exhibits. they don't get to check out more new stories that we have covered for you. you can find out more by heading towards he dot com

the join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me i have often said transparency for the powerful receipt for the last bit cares about privacy. what people care about is power. jiliana sons is become a symbol of the battles of brevity. information is power. that's what's going on. a huge struggle with government corporations who want to keep information secret and others who democratic rights should be pushed forward. and people have a right to know whether they're going to do watch houses helped to shift the

conversation around transparency. see what that battle has done to him. i feel like julian's life might be coming to an end. we are in a conflict situation with the largest and most powerful employer in such a situation. it's remarkable. it's alive. ah, the me the me i don't well controls a party 20 years after declaring war on big taliban and launching operation enduring freedom. the united states has ordered the military to back up and go home

. living to taliban more empowers in before have the americans finally extracted? that's what comes the cures must being dirt to discuss them now joined by matthew polt, marine combat veteran and senior fellow with a center or international policy. matthew is great to talk to thank you very much for finding the time. thank you for having me on our phone. now, to start with, this is not the 1st year of ministration to promise to bring the american troops back home from a gas or bama and don't trump black to do the same, but for various reasons weren't able to pull that off. do you think the bottom team has what it takes to see him through? i think they do. i think there is a commitment by the, by an administration to at least remove the conventional or acknowledged us forces in afghanistan. however, there will be a large force remaining of special operations and ca personnel,

as well as aircraft and drones in the region. with the question about what will happen with the 800000 private contractors that are currently under the american under the american government. they are, you know, so there are a lot of aspects to this withdraw that don't make it just as easy, straightforward as it would appear when you just hear that word withdraw. all right, so that's that, that's a big question about what will look like in terms of the american presence after september. the, that will, it's clear is that there will be an american presence. it will just be an acknowledged, which is very similar to how the united states is fighting these wars. if you look at the, from western coast of africa, all the way to pakistan, this is the way the united states vices. wars with, with on a knowledge forces with commando is with ca, personnel.
