is still sending locations in the the sub stories of the week right here when i see as an optional, china just smith is as political height and president biden's probe into the origins of cove in the lab league theory is now gaining traction in the media, which restricts the theory when the trump administration made the very same claims . the isolation of a nation ballot roast and faces of pyro have criticism unclosed as face from the e. u. softer a passenger jet was forced to make an emergency diversion of mintz over our hopes and bomb threats. and then, and all of a sudden and opposition activists on board was arrested on cities in america. back to track on that decision to cut police funding off the crime rate surge and the white house to class on an epidemic of gotten violent. ah,

welcome to the weekly here on asi international. we're highlighting the top stories of today and of the china once again refuting claims. the corona virus originated from one of the countries, laboratories comes off to the u. s. set. it's doubling down on efforts to track down the source of the pandemic. investigating for us now was rp is saskia? remember donald trump and his administration's take on the corona virus. the chinese virus comes lou, the china virus calling flu, chinese flu, the china flu. there's enormous evidence that that's where this 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 viruses, a result of failures in a chinese lab. remember how his theory about the virus escaping from alive 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 bite and actually shut down a trump para top secret operation to log in to 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 or report into the origins of the pandemic with the lab leak. as one of the top 2 fairies which is much more valid because bitin are not trump or to that 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 natal summit and in the interests of public safety. so coincidently did others a new york times. jonathan also decided pro, incidentally to delete a previous tweet about the problematic nature of the lab, meek 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 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 shift. and 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, how meek 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 caught one at 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 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 plain to bellows. the country's president, president, alexander lucas shanker, has now been defending the move. he says no laws were broken. the ryan plane was intercepted by a fight, a judge in order to make an emergency landing over a hopes bomb threat. however, an opposition activist on board and his girlfriend were then arrested the events response protest and some european cities, fellow russians living in amsterdam and war, saw riley alongside locals and supportive political prisoners. bella roost, though it says there's no political persecution in the country. meantime, the u. s. and the u. a drawing up coordinated sanctions against members of lucas

shank was government and both to advise against flying through better russian ass space. however, some critics question whether the west is actually in a position to lecture bella roofs dantes ecos donald 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 book shall go. 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 shenker 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 lives of more than 170 passengers. you're 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 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, nations began to close the space to barrows, national airline, while europe based carriers in turn refused to fly over the country to russia, england, rashid, we 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 bell russian territory 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 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's plane was once forced land. the president was taken out of the plain, but nothing was said about that silence. in 2016 ukraine ground at 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 a shooting war. this is particularly dangerous in the sense that if europe, europe in its allies of us, britain and get together in the rapid reaction, g 7 mechanism and put sanctions on beller roof 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. 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 location 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, dictate him, 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, no point. ok, pock receipt 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 not the 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 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 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, it's a very different story and it's a much wider discussion that needs to be had rapidly rising crime rates in the united states are forcing some officials to re think the plans to be fund the police on wednesday. what, how spokesperson said gun violence was simply spiraling out of control. the comments came off, the 8 people were killed and a mass shooting in san jose, 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 call to cut funding and even abolish entire police department started last year. of course, following the death of george floyd, an officer has since been convicted of his murder. more than 20 major u. s. cities have already drastically reduced the budgets of their police forces. i the year 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 of 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's refund to police. big, overarching statements that we're going to defend or abolish and dismantle the police department to get rid of all the officers. we've 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 once pledged to cut the police budget by $1000000000.00. as now promised 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. and the 1st month of this year, the city of los angeles has seen an increase in shooting paired to the same timeframe last year. now that democrat mare, 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 cause far too many of our neighbors to be locked up in our city's 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 does the public doing in criminal aspects, which is calling the police lawfully act the way they do and then the public is in there. they're on educated, ignorant, and misguided eyes. seeing that says police brutality, so the public really needs to stop up to the plate. they need to come to the table . they need to be educated on why the police do what they do. they 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 arising. outrage about police brutality and killings is also sky. hi, caleb bobbin artsy, new york. 2 people have been killed a more than 20 wounded and

a mass shooting outside a banquet holes in the us city of miami and florida. according to police, the incident took place at around midnight local time. a white car pulled off, the location is 3. people jumped out with assault weapons and started firing indiscriminately at the crowd outside. they've been attending a private concert of the venue. a police describe the shooting as a cowardly say. they believe it was a targeted and coordinated attack. meantime, a growing number of asian americans are buying firearms for the very 1st time. it's software surgeon, hate crimes. they're also joining lobby groups to resist the push for strict a gun laws 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, 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 them, that as alpha 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 planted the seed, me that 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 has since co founder the asian american on 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 attacks on asian americans have jumped

a 164 percent in major us cities since the pandemic in comparison to the same period last year, new york san francisco and los angeles to show the biggest increases with hate crimes also continuing to spike. thanks scott came again and says us, gun culture has changed and the current administration that 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 bite and ministration with some of the proposals on the table would turn many of its 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, you know, 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 that we're used to hearing from people still to come here on the program off. of course, this is the weekly with the top stories of the day adult week and apparently william shakespeare is now a racist about story. after the the join me every thursday on the alex salmon show. and i'll be speaking to guess on the world, the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me

the media a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? tyson lation, whole community. are you going the right way or are you being somewhere direct? what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths. will remain in the shallows. ah

ah, ah ah! that's good to have you with us today for the weekly. the highly anticipated summit between vladimir putin and joe biden has finally been confirmed at the meeting will take place in the city of geneva, on the 16th of june. it will be the 1st time they've come face to face as precedence and as preparations get underway for the summit. let's take a look at some of the key moments of the well tight and close the friendship over the last 2 months. you know, veteran report, you think he's a killer? yes i do. so what price must he pay? the price is going to pay. well, you'll see shortly when i was a child and we had arguments in the courtyard, we were saying fancies of me and sticks to you. and it's not just the children

saying the meaning is very present by regret. calling the nose, the president gave a direct answer to a jury question, which i want to invite the president by to continue our discussion. but on the condition, it's going to be live on line. we want to stable, predict the relationship and get some analysis on what this stomach could actually mean. at the end of the day, his asi is focused on our boy. 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. any 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 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 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 one camp within the bite and administration. john didn't 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 time. there were many agreements doc prevented both sides from sort of piling up all onto one another.

so his works have been taught to generations for centuries, but it seems there are still lesson to be learned about shakespeare and let them see it and our plans to de colonize his plays, claiming they are racist for linking whiteness to beauty. the globe theater has launched anti racist shakespeare seminars for teachers, students, and theatre professionals that designed to address problematic gender and racialized dynamics. activists claim the play right promoted white as being positive and black as a negative. so we put the whole issue up for debate. the colonizing traits there, maybe they ought to d, colonize the bible. i think that doing his deliver the misunderstanding, the use of the word fair and to mean beautiful. he doesn't have to mean it doesn't have to mean blow and it doesn't have to mean white under suddenly a scribe racial value to it is just meaningless and sensitive

and really going mad with a whole list, shakespeare. yes, he wrote and it's time and one can view it as being politically correct. that's what 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 a sign. secondly, 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 med. but the other point is that the whole of history never mind shrinks there for the whole history with you go back to judge jill with all when they've been having and go at in those days to choose with 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 that was the case earlier. but if we all say, well, we will abandon all literature and all poetry. the visa much majority must again be balanced with a sensitivity and needs of the minorities in those audiences. and it is about changing the landscape and not having a narrative because it's 600 years old. that will change full width. great. that was the norm. 600 years ago, we're not that that, that is in a sense pos, all the experience today. so what has to be on the sensors is to everybody in the audience and not just the view of the traditionalists that are always right before we get to the end of the program here on the international, on this sunday news, just in now from russia as your roles region, we understand the shooting has been reported in

a residential area and the city of your catherine bug, a former police officer, apparently opened fire from his apartment balcony local media saying to people are injured a young girl and a national guard officer. a police operation is not under way to arrest the suspect . his motives are unclear. police sources are saying he appears to be under the influence of alcohol will keep you posted on the developments who are naughty international as well. my colleague, nicky aaron, who is here at the desk and half an hour's time, hope you can join her then for the meantime though. thank you for joining us. ah, i have often said transparency for the powerful receipt for the last bit cares about privacy. what people care about is power. juliana sons is become a symbol of the battles of brevity. information is power. that's what's going on

and a huge struggle with governments and corporations who want to keep information secret and others who democratic rights should be pushed forward. and people have a right to know what to do. watch how much help to shift the conversation around transparency. see what that battle has done to him. i feel like julian 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. l look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, accept where's the shorter the conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously is to

great truck rather than fear i would take on various jobs with artificial intelligence, real summoning the theme in a robot must protect its own existence with exist. i julia overcharged some few more. dea, a. he saw me cry. not know of a book she missed the financial from the fall was meeting i who.
