the the news stories all the week here on our teeth. china dismisses political height president biden's probe into the origins of cove in the lab. but leak theory is not great and gaining traction in the media with chad rejected when the trump administration made the very same claim. the isolation of a nation of rules faces of firearms, of criticism and closed face from the e. u. passenger judge was forced to make an emergency devotion to men, sculpture, a hopes of bomb threats, but then an opposition activist on board was arrested. the cities in the united states back to track on their decision is to cut police funding off the crime rate search. and the white house declares an epidemic of gun violence.

ah well sunday afternoon here at moscow. and your timing is perfect for the weekly on are you to national, we are running down the top stories of this past week. we'll try it out. once again refuting claims. the corona virus originated from one of the countries labs. it comes off to the us, said it's doubling down on efforts to find the source of the pandemic. arctic correspondence, husky taylor investigates. remember donald trump and his administration to take on the corona virus. the chinese virus comes loose. the china virus calling flu, chinese flu to china, flu. there's enormous evidence that that's where the beget, remember, 10 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 this year. fresh in the oval office biden, and actually shut down a trump para top secret operation to look into the origins of the pandemic. and specifically, whether the virus leaked from the woo hon institute of fi, rolla, g, q, his own altering off a report into the origins of the pandemic. with the lovely one of the top 2 fairies, which is much more valid because why didn't i not trump, or to that? i've now 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 wilma, but the kids summit and in the interests of public safety. so, coincidentally, did others a new york times drawn a thought, i decided, coincidentally to delete a previous tweet about the problematic nature of the lab. meek theory and big peck which the month has been finding any covert conspiracy theories has coincidentally, decided to give the delete button a bit of a break in light of ongoing investigations into the origin of covered 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 is china. lately. some people have played the old trick of political high on the origin. tracy of covered 19 in the world smear campaign and blame shifting. i'm making

a come back. and the conspiracy theory of love league is resurfacing as cool that more transparency from basic counsel momentum as the woo hon week theory begins to enter the mainstream. and people pick aside the w h o has decided to sit on the fence. only recently 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 code one as the source of covey 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 is reprieve because they have not allowed him a reprieve from his prohibition on the platform. in the 1st place, a former president, i show that this is another example of the in seen 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, it's really frightening. following a huge diplomatic storm over the force diversion of a passenger plane to bella. ruth of the countries precedent, alexander lucas jenko has been defending the move, claiming no laws were broken. the ryan airplane was intercepted by a fight address in order to make an emergency landing over a hopes bomb threat. however, an opposition activist on board was then arrested at the event spot protests in some european cities. a members of the battle russian das for rallied alongside locals in support of political prisoners. a bela roast, though it says there's no political persecution in the country. the u. s. and the e. u. a drawing up coordinated sanctions against members of lucas shank was government. and both advised against flying through bella russian space. however,

critics question whether the west is in a position to lecture bella ruth, as equals dan off now explains this week, it seems there was no bigger scoundrel in the world than this man. alexander lucas shinkel, the president of bella, ros. that's after a ryan 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 blue shank. 0, one of the most outspoken opposition activists roman pro, to 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 shanker regimes. brazen and shocking acts to divert a commercial flight in the rest. the journalist, look at st. luke's sancho has done as a disgrace. that's hard to suppose. here,

the lights of more than 107 passengers. you're in danger. in order to arrest a journalist. the height of the plane on the attention of the passage is, is something that is completely check the room. and we really start discussing the implementation of the secretary over there. but i'm extensions now along with proto savage, his girlfriend was arrested as well. accused of dog st. bell, russian security officers, essentially calling on lynch mobs to go get them. and one by one e, you, nation's began to close the as space to bellows national airline. while europe based areas in terms refused to fly over the country to russia, england to appreciate and have to understand that this will have severe consequences. and we are looking into sanctions against the ation sector in but i was want to see this 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 bel russian territory to force landing a jet simply so you can extract a political thorn on the herd of accept it really isn't because back in 2013, several countries closed off there as 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 wasn't by the way. but america wanted him arrested so badly. it was willing to ground a president's personal plane. the bolivian president claim was once for the land. the president was taken out of the plain, but nothing was said about that silence. in 2016 ukraine, grounded a, but 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 you're europe in its allies in the us, britain, and get together in the rapid reaction, g 7 mechanism and put sanctions on beller ruse 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? it's going to be the people of bella. ruth, 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. luca sion go just

get clint eastwood on the case already. oh and yes. perhaps the grounding of the ryan 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 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 aerospace and also your apprehension somebody from a commercial flight that's. that's the legitimate point of debate. however, to say that this is some crested on it, or to say that of this never happens in the west is

a ridiculous proposition. and so this is time and time again. we see that 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 ruse, 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 is a very different story. and it's a much wider discussion that needs to be had rapidly rising crime rates in the united states or forcing some officials to rethink plans to defund the police. on wednesday, a white house folks post inside gun violence was simply spiraling out of control. the comments came off, the 8 people were killed in a mass shooting in san jose in california. we are suffering from an epidemic of gun violence in this country, both in mass shootings and in the lives that are being taken in daily gun violence

that doesn't make national headlines. the calls to cut funding and even abolished whole police department started last year following the death of george floyd an officer has since been convicted of his murder more than 20 major us cities have now reduced their police budgets. i 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 youth 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 back tracking fatal shootings in minneapolis in 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 defun, the police all over the country. but now in minneapolis, that refund to police, big overarching statements that we're going to be fonder, abolish, and dismantle the police department to get rid of all the officers. there's an impact that needs to stop. it's unacceptable. we should be holding those perpetrators accountable to include safety, the 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 $1000000000.00. as now promise to build an entirely new police precinct in queens. this is something that for decades that 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. in the 1st month of this year, the city of los angeles is an increase in huge to the same time frame last year. now that democrat mayor, the same one who jumped on the de 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 cased 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, 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 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 is off into national live from moscow. some breaking news just

reaching us this hour. now from the u. s. city of miami, in florida, by 2 people have been killed and more than 20 wounded in a mass shooting outside a banquet hall according to police. so the incident took place at around midnight local time. around white car pulled off at the location of 3 an identified people, got out armed with assault weapons and hand guns. they then started firing indiscriminately at a crowd outside who had been attending a private concert at the venue. a police describe the shooting as a cowardly act and say they believe it was a targeted attack. now, a growing number of asian americans are buying firearms for the very 1st time. it's software search and hate crimes. they're also joining lobby groups to resist the push for stripped a gun, lost 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. again, recoded 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. it went to a menacing group as folks that showed up in a pickup truck and yelled a bunch of racial waters that us stayed 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 kinda planted the seed and the that you know, you really do have to take personal protection into your own hands, especially older mobile group like the asian american community, which historically isn't known for don ownership or things of that nature. scott cane has since co founder, the asian american and pacific island gun owners group. it has thousands of

followers on social media and encourages responsible ownership of firearms as well as resistance to policies seen as to restrictive. well attacks on asian americans have jumped 164 percent and major us cities since the pandemic in comparison to the same period last year. and new york san francisco and los angeles showed the biggest increases with a hate crimes continuing to spike. the scott came again says u s. gun culture has 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 maga,

had its minorities and people of color. you know, the, by the administration that some of the proposals on the table would turn many of his constituents into criminals. overnight i view our mission as educating policy maker is more or less to what the realize that you know, gun ownership is changed. it's not the stereotypical letter a member anymore. we're coming from the perspective of, you know, liberal biden's supporters. i personally voted democrat in every election since 2004. and i think they're just the role need for this kind of a group in the, in the world that has a different perspective that we're used to hearing from our school to come here in the program on our t shake spears tendency to link whiteness to beauty. who's seen the plays of the same word? smith called into question with a london theater, launching anti racist seminars on shakespeare's what?

that story and much more we are back in 65. ah i ah ah ah, i use

join me every thursday on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then in the the news. ah, could that be with us today? the highly anticipated summit between vladimir putin and joe biden has finally been confirmed. the meeting will take place in the swiss city of geneva, on the 16th of june. it will be the 1st time they have come face to face as precedence as preparations get underway for the summit. let's take a look at some of the key moments of their relationship over the past couple of months. oh,

me. you know, let him or put you think he's a killer, i do what price must he pay? oppression are going to pay. well, you'll see shortly when i was a child and we had arguments in the courtyard, we were saying fancy of me and sticks to you. and it's not just the children saying the meaning is very deep. present bible regret calling, you know, the president gave a direct answer to a direct question, but i want to invite president biden to continue our discussion. but on the condition, it's going to be live on line and we want to stable, predict the relationship. so our boy has more details about the summit and ultimately what it could mean for about hope geo 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 house of the security council's on both sides and projects, are from russia, jakes, oliver national security adviser to joe biden, on the american side. and i think that is actually a demonstration of the degradation of public policy and diplomacy between the russian, 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 a killer. and i think an interesting detail about this whole thing is that the preparations for this meeting had started long before that comment. then in russia, they weren't, that common was interpreted as, as an effort by while camp within the, by the administration john de mind this meetings, 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 time. there were many agreements doc prevented both sides from sort of piling up all onto one another is works have been taught to generations, but it seems there are still lessons to be learned from shakespeare, london theater now plans to the colonize his plays, claiming they are racist for linking whiteness to beauty, the globe theater has long to anti racist. shakespeare seminars for teachers, students and theater professionals designed to address problematic gendered and racialized dynamics. activists claim the playwright promoted white as being positive and black as a negative. so we put the issue up for debate their d colonizing traits, but maybe they ought to de,

colonize the bible. i think what they're doing is deliver the misunderstanding the use of the word and to mean beautiful. it doesn't have to mean it doesn't have to mean blonde. it doesn't have to mean white and suddenly a scribe racial value to it is just meaningless and sensitive and really going mad with a holistic shakespeare. yes, you 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, 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 and

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 shakes there. but the whole history with you go back to just jill with dor when they've been having a go at, 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 we also say, well, we will abandon all literature and all poetry. the visa, much majority must again be follow up 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 ago that would change the wits rate that was the norm 600 years ago. we're not suggesting that that, that is in a sense pos,

all the experience today. so what has to be actually senses is to everybody in the audience and not just have a view of the traditionalists that are always right. and your weekly returns in half an hour me the me in 10 years of covering the war in syria, i've seen many tragedies, 1st 10 the voices of the smallest, or perhaps the loudest. one story in particular struck me the most the help out and i just made them a full new my i i met place in
