bad, or you chose to be there most of the time. it's not the case. see how it is to be born in the world's richest country the top stories of the week on us. he's trying to dismiss the political high presence of vitamins probe into the origins of cultivate. the lab league theory is now gaining traction in the media, which had rejected it with the trumpet. ministration made the same claim. the isolation of a nation bella rues faces. the bars of court close dead face from the e. u. soft passenger jet was forced to make an emergency diversion commenced. a hoax. bomb threat. then an opposition activist on board was arrested cities in the us bank track on the decisions to cut police funding off the crime rate surge. and the white house declares an epidemic of gun violence.

ah, a warm welcome. you're watching the weekly here on the international, bring and get all the latest headlines along with a round up of the stories the shapes a week, which is once again refuted claims. the corona virus originated from one of the country's labs. it comes off to the us that it's doubling down on efforts to track down the source of the pandemic sauce. italian reports, remember donald trump and his administration's take on the corona virus. the chinese virus comes lou, the china virus calling, janie's flew to china flu. there's enormous evidence that that's where the big yet, 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, turns out now it's not racist, but a totally rational ferry. why? because it's not trump peddling it earlier this year. fresh and the oval office bite. and that actually shut down a trump there, a 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 of one of the top 2 fairies, which is much more valid because why didn't i 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 legitimate and interests of public safety. so coincidently did others. a new york times drawn a thought, i decided pro, incidentally to delete a previous tweet about the problematic nature of the lab, meek theory and big tech, which for months has been finding any coven conspiracy theories has coincidentally, decided to give the to meet button a bit of a break in light of ongoing investigations into the origin of covey. 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 origins ration of covered 19 in the world smear campaign and blame shifting, 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 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 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 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. follow huge diplomatic storm over the 4th diversion of a passenger planes. bella roost at the country's president, alexander lucas shank of i've been defending the move, claiming no laws were broken. the brian, a plane was intercepted by a fighter jet and ordered to make an emergency landing of a hoax bomb threat. however, an opposition activist on board and his girlfriend were then arrested. the even fox protests in some european cities for the russians living in amsterdam was all rallied alongside locals and supportive political prisoners. tyler bruce though in suspense, no political persecution in the country. the u. s. and the you are drawing up coordinated sanctions against members of lucas and coast government,

and both advise against flying through bella, russian as space. however, critics question whether the west is in a position to lecture bella, ruth, is ego stone of explained 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 shanker 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 un

dangerous. in order to rest a journalist. the height of the plane on the attention of the passage is it's something that is completely unacceptable. and we really start discussing the implementation of the i said, check story over that, but i'm extensions now along with proto savage, his girlfriend was arrested as well. accused of dog, st. bella, 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, history, she'd have to understand that this will have severe consequences. and we are looking into sanctions against the ation sector in, but i was evelyn c. d c. d. 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 except 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 presidents claim was once for land, the president was taken out of the plain. nothing was said about natural 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 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. who? oh and yes. perhaps the grounding of the ryan a 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 point of talk 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 an apprehension somebody from a commercial flight that's. that's 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 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 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, is a very different story. and it's a much wider discussion that needs to be had rapidly rising crime rates in the us are forcing some officials to rethink plans to defend the police. on wednesday, or whitehouse spokesperson said, gun violence was 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 court to cut funding and even abolish

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 me here 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's refund to police. big, overarching statements that we're going to defend or abolish and dismantle the police department and get rid of all the officers. we've an impact to 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. there were in april of 2020 new york city mayor bill de blasio who wants pledge to cut the police budget by $1000000000.00 has now promised 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. in the 1st months of this year, the city of los angeles has seen an increase in shoot paired to the same time frame 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 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 cause 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 the 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 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. 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 rising. outrage about police brutality and killings is also sky. hi, caleb bobbin r t new york. a great number of asian americans of buying firearms for the very 1st time after

a search in hate crimes. they're also joining lobby groups to resist the push both strict a gun lowered 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 co bid for me last year. i'm the father of the next 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 visit when administer group is folks that showed up in a pickup truck and yelled a bunch of racial borders that us and set out 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 pointed to see, to 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 gun ownership or things of that nature. and i got cain since co founded the asian american and pacific island, a gun owners group. it has thousands of followers on social media, and encourage is responsible ownership of firearms as well as resistance. the policy seen as to restrictive attacks on asian americans have jumped 164 percent and major us cities. as soon as the pandemic in comparison to the same period last year, new york san francisco and los angeles showed the biggest increases with hate crimes continuing to spike the was got cain against a u. s. gun culture has changed on 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 mag, had its minorities and people of color divide administration with some of the proposals on the table would turn many of its constituents into criminals. overnight i you, our mission as educating policymaker 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 a real need for this kind of a group in the, in the world that has a different perspective that we're used to hearing too, from scott, israel could be in for a political earthquake to key parties are closing in on

a deal to remove the long serving prime minister benjamin netanyahu will bring you the details after the break. ah, the the the the the the ah the

ah, so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation . let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk the welcome back. after 12 consecutive years at the helm of israeli politics, benjamin netanyahu could be on the way out. why do we go position lead enough to lead bennett has just announced that he's ready to form a new government. he's paula slay reports. natalie bennett, who was the leader of the main party, which means the right party in israel has now. and now that he's joining forces,

but the leader of the opposition and get the kid to get it. they have 161 majority, which is what they need to be able to form the next majority coalition in his role . now, bennett has said that although he come from the right of the political spectrum and he's essentially joining forces with parties in the center. and he is doing this because the country has been in a crisis. politically. there have been some for elections in the space of 2 years. miss out over the last 4 rounds of elections. we've seen a country weakening of so damaging itself and losing its ability to function. but we see ministers who have the child. well, if you do not manage anything, we have right along the burning of synagogue in the lord and alcohol instead of managing and leading the methodist to spread hatred and polarization between the people of other countries to conceal no failure at all. but the coalition that bennet is joining is a very wide reaching so much so that it's going to be fragile and not be able to

form consensus on controversial issues like the piece. rather, it will have to limit itself to making decisions about the economy, how to deal with code 19. and this is something that these really prime minister benjamin netanyahu had been appealing to the electorate. and to those who have joined the coalition, the balance sheet is not ready to give up without a fight. and he is warning israelis that the new coalition could spell disaster. there might be fairly been, i heard natalie bennett. unfortunately, his again misleading the public. the same lives for them to slogan some hatred in division from the person themselves. so the hatred and division is leading the camera to century nelson's been the longest serving 5 minutes job is, well, he's been in office for some 12 years. and what we see happening here is not necessarily political parties coming together because they have constraints upon issues that rather because that we have a joint desire to get the tongue yahoo,

out of office. this comes at a particularly sensitive time, israel. the was the recent israel, god, the war that lasted 11 days. same time, we've seen some of the with violence between the way the jews. and he's way the avenue that the country has witnessed in years. the all the the, the the

news now from russia, the euros region, a gunman has been arrested in the city of catherine the gulf, the injuring 2 people, including a child. the shooter is believed to be a retired police officer. here, open fire from his balcony, indiscriminately hitting pedestrians and cause in a residential area. police then stormed his apartment, detaining him. a young girl and a national guard officer are injured. the child was shot in the stomach and is now in a critical condition. where following the developments and will keep you updated 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've come face to face as precedence as preparations get on the way for the summit. let's take a look at some of the key moments of their relationship over the past couple of months. me 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 expenses of me and sticks to you, and it's not just the children same and the meaning is very present by regret calling and trying to recruit and know that the president gave a direct answer to

a direct question which 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. ah, what he's on a boy co has more details about the so much more it could mean for 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, a nickel, publisher from russia, jakes, all of a 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 biting, calling who tin killer. and i think in an interesting detail about this whole thing is that the preparations for this meeting had started long before that comment. and 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, 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 . many thanks for joining us here. nazi international will be back in 30 minutes with all the latest see event. i

lose 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 . me on february 5th, 2016. after months of uncertainty, the united nations announced its decision i wrote the highlighted part

of nature the expert panell call on the swedish and british authorities to and mister assault the probation of liberty. i think the recommendation is what clear respect is physical integrity and freedom of movement. and for him, the rights to compensation was put in this issue in this case was a lot of those was tricky because the federal making money yeah . a yeah, he gets paid .
