saying, since colbert changed our world, russia has shown how much it has been came to be a pioneer and dealing with the pandemic in vaccine development. now it's time for a new challenge to organize a massive offline event for the movers and shakers in business and politics, and to make it safe. everyone gets tested for cobit several times, of course and the health condition of all the participants will be monitored carefully throughout the whole event. the air inside the venue is disinfected with a special ultra sound system and the airflow in the halls and pavilions is tightly controlled. to minimize infection, the events moto is short, but it makes it absolutely clear what the forms all about together again, economy of the new reality. so who is

it that's coming together again in 2021 in st. petersburg? guess what the 2 biggest delegations are? well, 1st of all, special privileged guests of this years form could tar some 200 people ready to do business with russia. the guitar delegation literally brought a little bit of dough with them to st. petersburg, an amazing opportunity for us to end up in order to bring our companies here and to get to expand our opportunities and try to meet the other, maybe investors or, or even people who are interested in our products. it opens a lot of doors and lots of producers to everyone and it makes things goes easier and more there. and i feel like the relationship is getting stronger between the 2 countries. so i'm coming to this exhibition, seeing the quality and the presentation. i really think this is world class. i've been i've seen a lot, but you guys have done a twin. another impressive team about 200 gets 1000 the geopolitical scene,

but serious partners in business, the us delegation. i think the tough of the rhetoric and the steeper the sanctions, the more people will come. it's becoming regular. it is interesting to see how we cope. businesses concern the politics may fracture relationships because politics changes along with politicians. but business relations are built over the years. for president latimer, the st. petersburg international economic form will be the 1st major public event where he really interacts with other people since the start of the pandemic. for the main plenary session, the head of the russian government will be joined by the leaders of austria and could tar and video conference mode. though the most high profile, the piece of the business community will include the has the theme and, and walk away together with the politicians. they will be sorting out not only how to restart the walls, economic engines, but also how to achieve steady economic growth that will be there to stay. so the

forum then has opened its doors today, and we'll run through the weekend to and of course we'll keep you updated with all the headlines. and the talking points that come out of me from an muslim group in austria, plans to see the government after the publication of a controversial map of islam. it's identifies mos amazon associations across the country, but it has been criticized for being stigmatizing and racist. the publication of all names, functions, and addresses of mostly institutions and institutions that have been read as muslim, represents an unprecedented crossing of boundaries. this is, you know, phobic, racist, and anti islamic policies poison, social cohesion and participation. it is important for austria to stop target and immigrants and muslims by labeling them. and so dr. responsible policy. austrian

integration minister launched the website on thursday called the national map of islam, with more than 600 mosques and associations on if you can see them here. now, it does give a brief description to you of organizations on their representatives and any umbrella group that they are part of. well, having faced a strong backlash, the minister defended her action by saying the map was and aimed at placing muslims in general on the suspicion to cancel. but i did not always was to grade transparency. it should not be preaching backyard more because it's about drawing the line between islam as a religion and political is from it's about revealing the radical ideal is find the starting point. this is a danger for our society. it's not enough to play leap service to the fact that we're against extras and do know it's wanted in our society. we have to take active action. we got an exchange of views on this story from our guests. in austria. was

not a good idea because it violates in some way our laws about data protection. not only our laws but about our principles because it's not only a map showing where they are. but they giving the full address and not to for differentiating between radical, potentially capitalistic cleaning organizations and just islamic mosques always make communities. didn't want to tack to the problem. and by opening a discussion about the muslim organizations about the map starting and it will come to as a between the general public islamic organizations. i think they divert attention from the subjects from the miss handling of certain issues. it's very important to emphasize that in all 3 or 4 decays, islam was an example, a motive for europe and for the world where community are leaving.

the format of chapter 3 are used to always it is and it's part of both korea and our answer for this thing. is that exactly the opposite? exactly. this tardies you would never find his organization and his people in such a list. that means a lot of ministry of integration is unique thing between the intelligence services and the social religious services. and this make a big confusion. putting the look at the community under pressure and also under miss the cost of these of k t that we could be the heating terrorists are the he didn't extremist with new strains of the cobra. the virus appearing around the globe,

the world health organization has proposed renaming them. the less as if the greek alphabet has been recommended to be use instead of the countries from where they were 1st detected. the new names come in the order that they were discovered. so the u. k. south african brazilian and indian variance and i being called alpha, beta, gamma and delta, the group of experts behind the id say that the letters will be easy to use and will discourage discrimination against certain countries. no con 3 should be stigmatized for the taxes and reports in variance. while this comes off to new delhi, our social media companies to ban the term indian variant. some ministers even said that such language was defamatory. however, john, going to talk radio host and coldness to does say there are more important things that the w h o should be focused on. instead of worrying about the language they should be helping, particularly the countries like india. and i'm from afraid,

you know, indian varian, that's where i started, the kent variant here in the u. k. i don't understand how that stigmatizes countries or people from those countries. it's just easier for everybody to know over can, will, must one from england. oh, the south africa, that's dawn from south africa. it does what it says on the can. all this out for beater. it's just going to confuse people with a world need to come together to fight this dreadful, dreadful, killer. pandemic less what we should be doing. changing the names of where it comes from will not make a blind pitch of difference. his a decisive dain israeli politics with an unlike he coalition, looking to unseat benjamin netanyahu from his 12 year term in office. parliament has also just elected a new president with more details, his middle east correspondent, poor slave. what we need of these waive your position. she had to make money to

mine to inform the president whether or not he can watch a majority coalition. if he can potentially mean mike the austin. hi, melissa benjamin. it's coming from power. the problem is that, like pete is having to been live on a why hoss victrum a party. he's got on the one hand parties and parties, and then he called the white a new come to the coalition, the mean a party between the one for the party headed by a for me to think minutes that not to be now what is a surprise? but not to be been, it is joining the correlation because he's a very different political ground to way these parties stand. but they coming together because they want to see me on power. having said that, it's still not clear whether the correlation is going to go forward, not to be bennett and benjamin netanyahu used to be alive. but now the 2 leaders have nothing but bad words for each other. mission. over the last 4 rounds of

elections, we have seen a country weakening itself, damaging itself and losing its ability to function. as we see ministers who are fighting with each other, who do not manage anything. we have seen riots and the burning of synagogues and load an acura instead of managing and leading their methodist to spread hatred and polarization between the people of our country to conceal their own failure might be fairly ben, it's i have not told banners. unfortunately, he's again misleading the public, the same lies and them to slogan some have written division from the person himself . so hatred and division, he's leading the scam of the century. this new coalition that potentially is being formed is looking at a party that all strangers extension has not been on the line tested in the past, rather disparaging things about our sample. he won, i have killed lots of i have no problem with that. now go to any correlation with

a party he's against promising and date. he's in favor of the fashion and he wants to join to compress which of course, the position that the lady left and israeli. our party are again, it's very difficult to see how such a coalition can be formed or if it is formed for how long it can last are we repeat has coalition change met if only wait, that is well can move forward. kinetically in a fairly my friend's prime minister jessica natalie bennett. set a goal for the next government yesterday to bring back unity in a week. the state of israel can enter a new era a moment. it really could go both ways as to whether we're not able to force a majority of coalition in the coming out. i've spoken to political candidate, political cons. the last thing i just want to mention is even if he announces by

midnight tonight that he can form imagery to coalition. this has to be formed by the parliament next tuesday. so it could still change in the coming days. it's only been at the mountains that he couldn't form. and the jersey coalition, in all likelihood the come, she will be hitting the nixon 2 year earlier, i spoke to the political analyst asking perry who is based in jerusalem. he does thing that been mean yet. and yahoo is doing everything he can to block the coalition. according to my sources, he's not even waiting for the week. he is working around the truck now to try and find weak spots at the moment. the weakest spot is and she had an extra code is thrown up relatively the last 24 hours. an extra demand that she be placed on a committee that committee representative on the committee for appointing justices as a debate, whether it's a principal position or perhaps she's being offered something for the next to me.

oh cass educational, impulsive initiatives we, we've seen before. prime minister netanyahu, when he's on the ropes, he will offer the world to anyone who can save him from the precipice. so i wouldn't be surprised if there are very significant negotiations. he's according to the romilly. so this morning he picked up a prime minister, referred to him and offered him more than possibly for the change governments could provide. so he is definitely trying to put some spot in the works even in the next few hours. and he's got actually in a week on this, so definitely a lot of time pressure publicly, privately, politically or trouble. somali in the african union suspends its membership and threatened sac sanctions unless the civilian government that is restored, that's after the military arrested, the president and the prime minister in his 2nd qu, in less than a year. meanwhile, france, which stations, some of his troops in the country,

is nice threatening to control them over the unrest with more. his charlotte davinsky promise is ramping up the pressure on the african country of molly. after a 2nd qu, details in less than a year, the french foreign minister is demanding fresh elections, take place, branding them an absolute priority. sanctions have been threatened, as has the will rule of french troops. president macklin says that he won't stay on the side of a country where there is no longer any democratic legitimacy or transition. he's also free, full political chaos will lead to an increase in radical islam. radical islam in molly, with our soldiers on the ground, never in a 1000000 years. but now there is this temptation in molly. but if it goes in that direction, i will withdraw from has more than $5000.00 soldiers posted in the south region, which includes the country of moly troops. there is part of operation volcano in

a breed to stop the region from becoming a safe haven for islamic terror groups. pulling the french military out of molly could cause k o, allowing the terra group to gain grow. and for hundreds of thousands of people of fleas, many people in molly would think that the french putting up would be a sticky point for them. domestically in morally, the threats of the french putting out means it's lamishia. we think that this is a success for a success because they play the long game they, they know they've got time. time is one thing that the french play don't have the novel with their president threatening to pull out. the stomach was that all they got to do some told along the game over time, the frame to getting all the territory. i'm new to it,

which the french one time disappeared and marty, what would, and islam enjoys, which is what molly isn't the only african state where fro is exerting political pressure right now in chad to where fro holds its main military base for operation volcano, there have been demands for election to take place within the next 17 month. follow the flip flopped by macro and who had initially supported the gnostic appointment of mahatma address debbie following the deck of his father. the notice of me frances will never let anyone threaten nava today nor tomorrow the stability and integrity most chad not called attributing to interest debbie senior who is killed by rebels trying to pay him went even further than not. he described the dead presidents as being a loyal friend of from what he completely got over though is that interest debbie

came to power in accrued attacking 1990 with the help of front while elections were regularly held under his rule. in chad, there have been allocations that these were neither free nor fair. continue to support him. the price has its reasons, or that from that about democratic legitimacy. the french influencing child also is one that continues. i mean, the french are always looking for partners that they can work with, and we already know that had to work closely with french. and in this particular instance, it wouldn't surprise me if the, for the french i'm child and how it works well. being able to address some of the challenging issues which are facing them on the ground, the market reality is my calling to find himself between a rock and a hard place for me is the main foreign power in the south region. it's trying to

exert its influence by slid to submit democracy while at the same time having handed a blank check to previous leaders to do pretty much a wish can threaten that if these countries don't play ball french troops will be pulled out. but my also news that they fro leaves in the midst militancy is likely just drive and not to produce even bigger problems for not just fro. but for the whole of europe show it's even sky. all see paris? i offer a meteorite rise over the past year. the black lives matter movement is facing critical divisions from within the even the members story, the mothers of police brutality victims speaking out against the organization. and it's even losing some of it's once loyal membership to the saskia taylor explains.

it started as a hash tag in 2013. it became a global phenomena. and in 2020, whether you want to bend the neo not, you can't deny black lives matter. has swept the walled, the ah, the the 2020 would be alarms year 19000000 dollars into nations. around 20000000 people in the u. s. alone took to the streets last summer, $550.00 places of protest. a year on where all day, while around 13 percent of them have put down that i can't breathe pack cards. that's how much support to be has dropped in a year according to

a recent poll. and i'll be true, seems to be that b l m itself might be to blame black communities who told a resolution on its way. but now many of them feel like corns in a politicized media, soccer, se they are benefiting from the blood. apollo loved ones and won't even talk to us . we don't want to need your parade in the streets accumulate and the nations platforms move deals, etc. of the death fall loved ones, while the families and communities a left clueless and broken and grieving parents for comfort in the racial justice group. that promise to honor those who died at the hands of police realized that there was no comfort to be found. i could walk in a room full of people who claimed to be here for bro, on a family who don't even know who i am. i've watched he'll raise money on the have abriana stanley talk had fraud enough is enough. it's not just moral fraud by

abusing the trust of vulnerable people. there are allegations of financial fraud to with local b, l. m centers themselves, coughing out on the source of donations and where the money goes, because they say it doesn't go to them. and while these questions off the b l m co founders course splurging on a $2700.00 square foot home for $1400000.00 to add to her collection of all the multi $1000000.00 properties control the see but thought couldn't resign, never to face up to those, she's not town. no, she doesn't have to show her accountability. she can just take the money and run, run towards a multi year deal with the warner brothers to produce a number of tv projects, a hollywood life to match up l. a. home she bought to dismiss, this is angry,

spiteful, and t. wo, criticism just isn't fair because these on a few lone voice says on the outside, know, these are mostly critics from within. and that growing louder and louder. i was an insider and black lives matter and i learned the ugly truth. the moratorium on charter schools does not support rebuilding the black family, but it does create barriers to a better education for black children. are resigned from black lives matter after a year and a half. the viola flags still hang a symbols of a fight for a better future, but more scandals come to light as more downs its cost on the organization, its goals, its priorities, its honesty. one can ask, has a black lives matter failed to live up to its name? and is it that actually at the end of the day, money, same, and power not to the most. when i pull chapman of the minority rights creek blacks,

it does say that there are ongoing concerns about where the funding is going. don't believe the black lives matter. organization leaders wherever connected to the base, it was a troll. or if they use the unfortunate situation, such as michael brown or george ward and they use it as an opportunity to raise money. how do i know that? because we know that a huge portion of money was collected, but the families never received. any compensation for the agrees in the local chapters themselves did not receive any money. the people don't care about black, why? they're simply using it as a brain board, it is an opportunity to generate well for themselves. but when you raised that amount of money, and then there's no accountability and no $1.00 can be at a local level or national level where that money is going. people have a right to question, and i'm just surprised it didn't happen sooner. okay, well, we'll go back to our top story because it is

a decisive day in the countries politics with an unlikely coalition looking to unseat netanyahu from his 12 year term. and our fishermen get some reactions for this too, and speak with the former israeli ambassador to the u. s. danny island and you very welcome. thank you very much for coming on. what you think the chances are that this coalition can actually form because when you look at it, you've got very right wing figures. there are a lot of tardies. bennett. he said very inflammatory things towards arabs. and yet he's looking to form a coalition with some of them. absolutely isa. i say the strangest ever coalition. very, very strange. however lose. why a strong who keeps them together. and this is the fear from another election because many of the parties that you have mentioned will not pass the threshold and will not be elected into the next israeli parliament. and so we're already, since the arab party,

it will not pass bennett right. we will not pass another right, we already will not pass. so this is probably the best thing that will keep them politicians together. we still have your ours midnight time. this is where the deadline is, because until then, if there is no agreement on a coalition, then the mandate goes back to the president of the country. who can do one thing, either give it to someone else or extend the mandate for 2 days. and most likely you will bring you back to the commit to the parliament, which that means this solution. and in another election 3 months, you mentioned that you think it's about self preservation them for many of these parties involved, but it also to do with a collective dislike for netanyahu. yes, there is a lot in that as well. unfortunately,

to know has pretty much burned. he's bridges, you know, there, one bridge to fire was when he broke his commitment to general benny gans formed the coalition with him. now he's now presently, he's the minister of the bent and he was to succeed. that's a now in the rotation in november and you know, broke this, this commitment and we've got about the elections and the crisis we have now. so right now he lost but ability. nobody really believes in that to me out. and then there is also the t, there is a after year straight to serve as prime minister. so i think it's called fish and cents best. and this is why they are they, they are not so intimidated to challenge here. is coalition go ahead,

for example g, think that we much change in israeli foreign policy. i say that because yesterday the yahoo was saying that, you know, again he's going to take a very tough stance against iran and eliminate any of his nuclear capabilities. do you think this coalition will have any difference of opinion on that or will it just be as tough on iran? well, see the coalition members, it can be that they will sign today before midnight. they have, you know, that for you already, you know ahead of the facts. they decided what they're going to deal with and whatnot. controversial issues, for instance, when it comes to a palestinian state when it comes to settlement, when it comes to sovereignty over the west bank, these are not going to be such. so the status quo will, will remain. the money is pretty much a consensus, so it won't matter whether we send it to now, or whether if anyone else who will come in there. certainly not

mr. bennett, which now he's slated to replace. who and just finally what we've got you on the line. these railey defense minister ben guns is arriving in washington shortly this week, i think to ask for another 1000000000 dollars in emergency military aid. why is that necessary for israel? what i did, the 1st thing is to to replenish inventories. but it's not just, not just that the, it's also we're american are very know the, the defense establishment and what they're much interested in. they really experience. so we have gained a lot of experience in our anti ballistic missile system. so they would like to see the results that she about 90 percent perception rate. they're going to work together now and bring it up where they the goal now is to bring it up to 98 percent.
