what are the rushes flagship business event? facent. petersburg international economic forum is in full swing. we'll take you through the latest deals and discussions from the countries in northern capital. also ahead shocking evidence emerges in france regarding bodies that were donated 1st scientific research. instead, they were sold for use in military experiments and crush tests. sicilians come against the mafia. don't, don't the people slayer, as he walks free decades after killing more than a 100, including brucely dissolving young victims in us that we speak to the widow of one police officer, he murders. the thing that infuriates me most is that italy does not make its outreach public. i think all of sicily should take to the streets because he did

not just through my family. you ruined the whole i from moscow to the world. this isn't use our own our see all the big stories from across the globe ahead of the next 30 minutes. hello and welcome. st. petersburg is the epicenter of global business, movers and shakers. this week, the city's international economic forum has not wrapped up its 1st full day with an array of high level guest taking part on thursday. no surprise on the pandemic, and how it's altered the business environment was the early focus of many of the event. and a consensus is emerging that the health of the global economy depends on the swift returned to normality through inoculation programs. but some also worry about health care or being politicized with hungry top to promote critical of use

scrutiny on russia's sputnik b vaccine. you don't get commission made a big mistake at the very beginning by considering vaccines as if they were issues of ideology or geo politics. and they made made a mistake regarding the, the contract as well. because if you look at the united states, the united kingdom, israel, they've been using best vaccines as well, but they received much more at the beginning, they were able to start their vaccination campaign watch was much more quickly compared to the european union. so there was a big mistake because timing, timing was very bad. so that's why our experts have come to russia and i have gone to china as well. so after a very farro and very long procedure, they have given the emergency use authorization. so it's not that we would have started to use your or the chinese vaccine in

a blind way. it was not the case. there was a very viral procedure to look into it, which was the 1st eastern vaccine we signed contracts about and the russian. 3 direct investment fund has already completed the deliveries together. 2000000 jobs have arrived and they are basically completely vaccinated and delivery from support . and you have the lot to be on the top of the european league in this regard and to be able to open up. so i'm very happy to see here, so many people, i'm happy to see your life coming back to russia. and if you come to hunger, you will see that this is basically a similar situation in the back in hungary. well, another major talking point from the event was rushes announcement about it will completely remove the dollar offsets from its vast national welfare and our teeth ilia, a tranquil can tell us more about the while this does appear to be a major landmark and something that's called detail or zation or giving up the dollar in national asset shares and international trade because more than

a 3rd of russia's national sovereign wealth fund is currently in us dollars. so the national wealth fund, which is currently worth $185000000000.00 us dollars. so we're talking serious numbers here is designed to stabilize the volatile ruble from swing all prices. and also it could be used as a store of cash to be potentially spent on things like pensions and social welfare in difficult economic times. so it has been decided and announced by russians, minister of finance, that the dollar will be replaced by gold, the euro, and the chinese you on most important the, at the st. petersburg, international economic form. we heard from russia's 1st deputy prime minister. he was frank when he was saying that the reason for this move is the threat of more

potential us sanctions. it will only take about a month to make sure that this shift happens, which has already become the number one financial headline at the form here and st . petersburg a little earlier in the afternoon as the russian president spokesperson. dmitri pasco, also way did on the international context of the decision, i can say that the organization process is constant. it has now become obvious, and this process is taking place north country, but also in many other countries in the world that study being concerned regarding the reliability of the main current. here it's not a surprise that russian law makers really welcomed the move and said that it's a very important step towards further strengthening rushes, national, financial and economic sovereign. besides this, this decision will really strengthen the role of the chinese currency in russia out

of time when beijing and moscow are really continuing to pursue stronger ties in almost every aspect. in the meantime, we have already heard voices of concern from across the atlantic, including from one commentator who used to be a us treasury official. he said that the situation in which the likes of russia ran and try to continue the seeing. the dollar is something that could really be a cause for concern in america. this trend towards diversification is global and accordingly given the over reliance on the dollar before the hyper centralization of the international financial system on the dollar and the proceedings decades some the dollarization and reduction and the role of the dollar is to be expected. i think we're definitely seeing 1st of all, a higher demand internationally for more reserve currency, other reserve currency. this is something that the central banks want to have. the

optionality, the ability to have a wider set of reserve currency them accordingly. and there is demand, there's going to be supply, i think we'll see more reserve currency further down the road. they're going to be more alternatives. i think the goal will continue to play a significant role and probably an increasing role in the reserves that that countries will have in the coming years. some pretty interesting interviewees out the forum today. we spoke to rushes for ministry spokeswoman about a range of topics including moscow, washington relations. we divided up, we've been saying that we want to establish ties with the united states based on mutual respect and international law. of course we have common ground as well as points once agreement, and it's a case where different countries are history defined. but we also have different

approaches towards the various issues for and, and bilateral, not money, but that doesn't mean we have to solve those issues in a confrontational manner. and it doesn't mean that we have to dodge every possible opportunity to so there's issues. we've been stressing this all the time. we see how rushing us relations have been degrading recently, and washington has done it in different, including some of the ones that just come many times. russian diplomats have been ground is exp, out on the united states, within recent years. and how many times in the states has made up so called solidarity reasons. the force made a member states to expel our diplomats a chain of hostile steps led to us issuing a list of from friendless states with the united states and the czech republic. and so far, but this is not a matter of our initial attitude towards them. just the response to the actions was actually yeah, a lot of topics touched in the interview. the full set on with me as a her of a is a bill, but not on our teas youtube channel. so indeed, a busy day forum which runs through the weekend in st. petersburg. we will make

sure you don't miss a thing here on our team international me moving the program on now, a gruesome details have emerged on her bodies. donated from medical research in france are being used. charlotte duban ski has more now on corpses being sold for military experiments on crush tests. it's new or in tale many thought could become any grimma in 2019 to merge that. the bodies that had been donated for medical research had in fact been left to decay in unsanitary conditions here in what was the center for body donations that the former perez dick university described as being nude decomposing with maggots in a room infested with wraps a mass grave in the heart of paris, it was some reported, it was still,

it was revealed, whole bodies. linda had been sold to private companies for a price. now in the latest sinister turn, its b confirm. the somebody were told ac's crash dummies. these allegations had been made previously, but now there was evidence to show dead bodies were being used in this gruesome way in the car industry. almost 40 percent of the money and by the center for body donations came from industry that left families of those who left their bodies to medical science. shocked and devastated once again, make a good tool. now, when we found out who we, the families of the donors that the bodies of our parents were used to replace crash test dummies. there was a real stupor because nobody could have imagined this. so we are in a situation in which we are all facing

a nameless confusion. there is disarrayed because no one was informed. it is necessary, the doctors who had any connection with the scandal because it is a real scandal explain themselves. and then those who are responsible will have to face justice and pay for their deeds. there was no respect for the donors, the 1st thing, but the 2nd thing is that there is a market for bodies. there were so they, we used it is an abomination. and the people who did that must explain themselves. they are culpable, and the punish. this practice is not illegal and some argue that the use of corpses in this way is in fact essential. today we face the problem of shock trauma among subjects who are very overweight. we are forced to use a corpse to acquire data that will be transposed into the modal. this is essential . we want to ensure that the devices are not aggressive and dangerous for humans. call manufacturers were not the only ones to have use for these tests. so

today, the french omi, including to observe what happens in a vehicle when it hit a mine, is just take your whole system. personal wishes were not taken into account. the people who and the motorist imagine their body has now says in a military experiment, which goes against their way of thinking. it is necessary not to forget. one thing to give one's body is the most final act of altruism in the world. when we give a body, so you deprive a family of a funeral, someone who donates that body. it's still the most beautiful gesture of humanity. it's like a person is saying, i give my body for the internet and the medical students to practice on. i'm become good doctors in the future to realize that these bodies using a tank explosion, for example, and understand what damage the explosion made for the body. it's just horrible. there has been closed since the revelations emerged 2 years ago. the university

apologize at the time for families of donors, but the scandal could provoke big changes, hearing problems and government report and do this month, is expected to recommend better supervision of the donation of bodies. but that, of course, will be little consolation for the families who have all ready given their bodies for medical research, geology, minsky or t. paris. there is outrage in italy now after a murphy, a boss knows that people slayer was freed from prison this week. giovanni bruschetti, being convicted of overseeing more than a 100 murders, but has not been released to prove. among those killed was an 11 year old boy whose body was then dissolved and said, also on bruce because record was one of the state's most infamous murders, the assassination of top mafia, investigator, giovanni falco, ne,

in 1992 felt tony's car was blown up killing him, his wife and 3 police officers. we spoke to the partner of one of the officers about the mafia don's release. hello, molly meadow. he's now 3 men had it really hurts even though it was not a surprise because there has been a lot of talk about it lately. obviously it is a blow. giovanni boost car has been released because he collaborated. we still do not know the truth. so why he no free, we have never sought revenge. we have always asked for justice. today, it is clear this justice business exist. who would like the state to be alongside us to be more tangible and imposed sudden penalties. as antonia's wife and mother of his children, i'm resentful. however, the thing that infuriates me most is that it really does not make its outreach public. i think all of sicily should take to the streets because he did not just

threw in my family. he ruined the whole sicily. their memory still very much role there after his arrest, proschetti turned in for meant, which shortened his term after decades behind bars. here's how people in sicily reacted to the news. if i should turn this and they got, it evokes memories of the tragic events. brusque is responsible for these cases about the sentence which was served and fees door, which envisages some reprieve. to those who collaborate with justice. we should hope that the strategy will be further pursued because it enabled us once to be the cause enough trans at the thought it prints ok. i think it's on fer, especially for the victims. but unfortunately, the use of collaborators to ruth out mafia is extremely useful. we wouldn't make any progress in combating the mafia without such arrangements. at the same time, i realized that it's not good timing down so much home. and after so many crimes, we now see his release. it is quite disgusting. we're close at the moment to the

families of the victims of the mafia. this criminal did horrible things. he killed so many people, and we all want to ask ourselves the question. did he really regret what he did? did he say everything he knows about the massacres that have blotted cecily when he truth and justice? we asked to say to continue investigating and make this criminal talk and google will say sorry, but refuses to fire its diversity chief for an anti semitic post. more enough for short bring oh i i what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally,

i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk rather driven by shapes. those with the in the me there's thing we dare to ask me. ah

ah. 18 minutes into the program. welcome back. a leading us newspaper house, reductive, it's take on republican claims. coven 19 began as a chinese law blake from quote conspiracy to fringe theory. after the white house said it was no considering don version of events, the pullback comes after president biden launched a prob, investigating the exact possibility. namely that the pandemic begun in the womb institute of verola gee, the washington post has now also diluted the phrase debug by scientists to disputed and its report originally written last year. and mainstream media across the board are now scrambling to make some pretty embarrassing. you turn. you don't need to involve conspiracy theories, president trump, and secretary of state mike, palm pale, link the virus to a lab, and whoo hon. without providing evidence, some things may be true, even if donald trump said them, i think

a lot of people have a on their face. i think a lot of people on the political left and a lot of people in the media made this mistake. they did. wow, as tom cotton is saying something it can't be true where they assumed that and that's not right. and it seems like a lot of people, including a lot of people in the media, leapt to dismiss the lab league theory. because of where are we coming from? and the reality is, we don't yet know how coven started. we also spoke to political center is the wrong color coding. he says the incident expose is just how much corporate media self center. just the practice of issuing corrections is, is a good thing. i mean that just in and of itself is not bad. be at the washington poster or any other outlet. i think the problem goes a little deeper than that. the problem is not necessarily correcting errors. the problem is, well, how did these errors happen in the 1st place in the corporate media, in the united states and other parts of the world?

the range of acceptable conversation is very limited. and it's not all too often, at least it's not limited based on what is objectively true. it's limited based on what is permissible. and that often leads to a lot of this information an awful lot, especially when it comes to issues of the climate. when it comes to issues of warm peace, you know, this is just a nother example of the corporate media really limits the range of acceptable conversation for various reasons. and it leads to misinformation and this information all too often. and it's a systemic problem. tech giant google has refused to fire its head of diversity after public outrage over an anti semitic blog post. if what would you be concerned about my insatiable appetite for war and killing in defense of

myself? self defense, i don't doubt diddly an instinct, but i would be afraid of my increasing insensitivity to the suffering of others. and that if i were to post, it was written in 2007 before he joined the company. after being brought no to public attention, google removed him as head up diversity but did not fire him. and then the apologize for the quote depot fence and pain that it had caused the head of pro israel group. stung with us since the incident demonstrates that the jewish community needs more protection. i think mister bob has the right to repudiate his previous statements. in my mind, of course, he should do that. everybody has the right to free speech by the way people have the right to and she semitic speech it, but it doesn't mean that a company like google needs to be hiring somebody with these opinions who has expressed them and published them. i believe that there's a lot of talk about inclusion in the city all across industry by jews seem to get

left out of that equation. and in order to make sure that we are acting against anti semitism and racism, and other forms of prejudice with equal measure, we need to have an educational process so that people understand what anti semitism is tech companies as much as anyone else need to redouble their efforts to support that jewish employees and to act against acts of anti semitism and to do their best to find them and to act against them and speak out against them as we all should do . the pentagon has apologize for accidently storming a factory and terrifying stuff in bulgaria. the owner of the business though, he said, simply saying, sorry, isn't going to cut it. so he's suing the u. s. defense department. during drills on earth feels american troops rated a nearby sunflower oil plant. jumping their rifles at stuff and emptying the building. the bulgarian presidents condemned the incident on the head of the plant

. describe their terror during the rate 7 soldiers entered aiming their width and the work because the camera showed the work. raising his hands, they sit in english to sit down because my people are bays and very scared, they went everywhere on private property. in short, this is an illegal invasion of private property. this is absolutely unacceptable in every way. words cannot express its hoover in the back and working others told me the soldier center. i saw them with machine guns aimed at us with our various trends. i started running, i did not know what i was doing and what i was saying political as chris bomb ray told us the very fact that drills are happening near civilian areas as an accident waiting up and well, i'd be surprised that they are taking action is usually, you know,

the countries are taking over the wine which are quite the more on and he won those big play in britain which populates, removed from back to the top racial strange thing bulgaria. they are usually an area with our places. there are 3000000 population girls failure intelligence, thought this is a complete failure to record the area which is fairly limited appeal. so it's not huge, it's quite big, but it's not huge. and clearly indicate on that's the limit of that field. and beyond that, that could be hoses phones, factories and so on, and you do not go there, but they don't seem to have done that. i mean, the other question is, why are they involved in military in bulgaria, almost meaningless. campaigners have described a new

e u text transparency law. it's an attempt by brussels to fight tax avoidance by big multinational companies. lawmakers say that's a targets large corporations with an annual income of more than $750000000.00 euro from 2023 corporations must publish tax details online, including profits and the number of employees. however, it only covers going on within member states and leave the most operations in the rest of the world. that's why some non governmental organizations, including ox from say it's a band aid really on a gaping wound. we are disappointed about g g outcome. this new legislation, public country, by country reporting, is not real public by country reporting. why? because he doesn't calder for the country over ration of the companies that i present you. and in addition to that, adding these kind of information for only

a limited number of countries would give her ever really limited feature of the structure of a company. and this can even be misleading for her research for purposes, but also for, for the best to know if really a company is responsible or not. a pretty eye opening stuff. really research has shown that in some cases, 80 percent of profits are moved to run the block to so called you tax havens like the republic of ireland, luxembourg, the netherlands, ox from again, say the law can. beasley circumvented? it's a very limited tool, so it will be useful to have more transparency on you talk savings that at the same time corporation would be you've been incent, wife to sheets for all fits to tech save and outside the you where they don't have

to report information so this is actually not a solution for her global sex avoidance of corporation. well, that takes us to a close for this news our about our programs. they are only beginning discover once ahead and rti right after the shortest of breaks me ah ah, ah ah .

join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business and show business. i'll see you then in the ah
