the politic sport business i'm show business. i'll see you then in the headlines here and see how the french president is slapped in the face while trying to get up close and personal with a crowd of well wishers. activists in the u. k. a warning foreign property investors to avoid buying in britain being offered worth and list on the unsafe real estate. some covered in the kind of planning and that led to the reading told how a tragedy a video of an american father and daughter speaking out against critical race theory goes viral story. 2000000 views on twitter comes them in ongoing debates in america about the role of c, r t and education and politics. how we treat people was based on you, they are not in. if they're not,
11:01 am
i use i just thought the 60 i'm here most go. this is our, the international welcome to your tuesday. stories. activists in the u. k. are advising foreign property investors to stay clear of britain. they won't, developers are selling unsafe real estate covered in the type of cladding that lead to the grunfeld tower tragedy. often they say this is either worthless or comes with a host of hidden costs, typically related to that of fire safety. ben fox, the creator of an online map of problem properties, explain the situation for us. the u. k. as is now, none of the build and none of the lease holds particularly new bills can be trusted to be purchased because we're find in the range of build and that's ah, unsafe have issues and ultimately accept the 8th of the us one ratings on our
11:02 am
valued pounds, you know, they can't be sold again. so we want people particularly from overseas, tend to be very careful with buy in buildings, especially from the major developers, are still marketing overseas. the cladding scandal received worldwide attention when grunfeld tower and london went up in flames in 2017. the fire, which started from a fridge, freezer on the 4th floor, spread rapidly because of the cladding, took almost 24 hours for firefighters to contain the blaze with $72.00 people losing their lives. ortiz shot edwards dashed looks at how the government is still trying to move forward almost 4 years on from the grunfeld tower tragedy. the government is still trying to learn from mistakes, especially as thousands of homes across the country are still covered in the very same material. grunfeld was the deadline to apply for funding to remove the causing
11:03 am
that already many of how to fit the bill themselves to keep that home safe after grandchild. in june 2018, we will immediately had to pay for waking watches were still painful when he watches. so now you know, our service charges have you know, skyrocket. we are facing another bill of so far. the seas around $33000.00 to remove the planning. but i think it's more we are really, really struggling. i'm a pensioner. i'm 76 and all my savings for now, and i can find work students append to meet the 1st phase of the public inquiry into the grunfeld tower tragedy that came the lives of 72, found the having was the principal reason for the rapid spread of the fire, but to give you an idea of the scale of the ongoing crisis currently around full
11:04 am
point, 6000000 flats are still considered dangerous due to the material on them. also making them on sellable. and while the government has agreed to come up 5000000000 pounds, that's only a 3rd of what's actually needed. and a legal amendment protecting homeowners from half the bills was voted down by the conservatives in april. we had demonstrated, certainly have been to, you know, we are in talks with the bill barret to build up have we, you know, what these properties in? good faith, have to foot the bill. we have been to m p. 's and even the opposition leader tried to, you know, put forward a bill to chased of these whole loss. but of course the conservatives voted it down, so we're back to square one. the government insists residence being shielded from those call. building safety remains the responsibility of the building owner and
11:05 am
they must take swift action to remediate safety issues without passing on costs to leaseholders. our priority is making sure residents are safe in their homes as quickly as possible, and we are doing everything in our power to ensure that remediation work backed by government funding is completed to the highest standard. but none of this is up the government from taking out foreign investors and selling off those dangerous buildings. unsurprisingly, then closing outrage among those effected i did a bit of research. i couldn't find any project that kind of shows you how many buildings across the u. k. over my or anything like that. and i would quite confirmed that this information wasn't publicly available. you know, you might get to build in that hasn't got threats and yet monte, by the rhetoric can change and you will be liable for the costs besides rates in man that we now pay $61000.00 pounds a week for 2475 patrols certainly not in the interest of
11:06 am
the british economy in regards to received by it effects the maybe one or 2 buildings that have the issue. they will think it's ok. i will be faced with a new bill, if we can prove from our ma that people are registered in buildings on you bills. you know, they are all over the country. they are different heights different edges. we are proven that this is a nationwide problem play for years all from the grunfeld tower tragedy and still thousands of people are going to bed at night scared if another tragedy is simply waiting for hudson to edit dusty all to london white women are apparently developing a taste for their own alleged racism to racial inequality. activists are organizing special and very pricey dinners, where guests not only dine, but wine about just how racist they didn't realize they were to reach republic,
11:07 am
explain on this episode of things crazy. people do white liberal women line up to pay $5000.00 for a dinner, where 2 women of color berate them on how races they are. sounds like a lot of fun. now i'm sure some of you are confused by the concept or how something like this came to be. so here it is. it's all organized by 2 people, regina jackson, who was black and say, you're a row who identifies as indian american. if you're wondering what kind of people, jackson and row are, well, here's a few quotes. we all know about white women's tears. it has caused the tears of 100, maybe even thousands of black people, and it's still a weapon. white people would rather die than tell the truth about white supremacy racism and the role in both. yeah. a lovely bunch. anyway, once upon a time they got into an argument about race with a white friend over dinner. much to their surprise, a few months later,
11:08 am
the woman they had the argument with said she actually enjoyed it and asked for another dishing out and promised to call some other white women to the party. essentially, that's ho. race to dinner was started. the format of the dinner goes like this, a group of white women pay $5000.00 for the events which is hosted at one of their houses. once they're done counting their piles of cash, jackson and route dig into the attendees, trying to uncover their subconscious racism with questions like, how are you racist? what's a race this thing or thought you've done recently? if a woman doesn't have an answer, according to ro, well that's just typical racist behavior. all of this is done in the most aggressive manner possible. men to quote shatter white fragility, but tears an outrage at these events are strictly prohibited. it does all sound a bit, masochistic, but pay there's no accounting for taste. white women love dinner parties more than
11:09 am
anything. if they're safe space to talk about how much they hate their husbands, how their kids are super annoying. how crazy busy. they are. the latest school auction, they're raising money for, you turn to place where they typically unleashed their entire c whiteness into somewhere where you can actually have safe, not shameful conversations around racism. having started this back in 2019, jackson and ral, have since expanded the premise. i guess they grew tired of just braiding self loathing, progressive white women. so now they're telling them how to carry the lesson and white fragility even further and make a change at the events are no longer limited to dinner. so now they have breakfast, lunch, cocktails, and even brunch all popular past times of privileged white females. naturally, the internet has had a field day with the story. ah,
11:10 am
it's unclear if these masochistic self flagellation dinners will ever actually lead to any change in society, let alone a good one. but one thing for sure. as long as progressive white women feel they are unconsciously racist. jackson and ro might never again have to pay for a meal. i think it's ironic, an elitist that they will pay, that they will pay $5000.00 in order in order to learn how recent they are, what kind of experience birch is signaling. and i really, truly believe it's just another way of people dispensing with their white gill, the craziest thing i've ever read. and i don't think that that actually does the trick that you actually learn anything. by doing that, it feels like these 2 women that are in charge of the dinner. it feels like it
11:11 am
almost feels like a game of some sort that they're playing on. the white women, when i really think it's going on here, is that these women are really capitalizing on the white gill of the wealthy emmanuel macro, and go to a nasty shop during a visit to the south of france, where he's trying to drop support for his pre election campaign, he woke up to a barrier to greet locals, and this is what happened. the group into the french president, they're getting struck in the face. that's cross live to ortiz, charlotte, do buskey and pirates. all right, charlotte, take us through it. what's been the government's reaction to this as well? well what we've heard today is it 2 individuals have been arrested falling not a soul, don't president mike on the 1st time that he has been physically assaulted since he
11:12 am
came into office back in 2017. as you saw or not video, that present microphone was coming outside of school hotel school, but he'd been visiting as part of a tool. he's sitting at the moment around the front seat walk towards a crowd of people who are all behind a barrier. and then you can see the president michael puts his hand on the arm of one of the people behind that bar. that man then responds like wrapping back a precedent my phone and then slapping him in the face. of course security guards were on it straight away into individuals, were detained for willful violence against a person holding public office. now they take up pretty serious see here in front of and having to look at this. and this could see some of the in jail for up to 3 years, plus a fine, a $45000.00 euro. so, you know, there are some very severe penalties, but of course that would be up for a judge to decide if, of course,
11:13 am
the 2 individuals all found culpable of having committed souls against president mike on. now there has been a huge reaction hearing from not just from the government, but also from opposition leaders across the political spectrum. and the one thing that they have all said is that this is simply unacceptable. while democratic debate can bitter, it can never tolerate physical violence. i strongly condemn the unacceptable physical aggression targeting the president of the republic. this time, are you starting to understand that violent people are taking action? i stand in solidarity with the president. meanwhile, from the government's perspective, the prime minister's young cas texted the base was an attack on democracy. democracy is debate. dialogue is confrontation, the expression of legitimate disagreements, but it can in no way be violence, verbal, aggression, and even less physical aggression. we are all concerned,
11:14 am
it is the foundations of our democracy through the head of states. it is democracy that is targeted now, microphone is currently carrying out war many have dubbed his to the front where he's essentially going around the country meeting up with people as a way of testing the temperature to see whether or not he will officially announce soon that he's due to run in next presidential election, many fee this tours, pretty much confirmation of that. but we still haven't heard that from the who says math. what is interesting though, is that this incident, which is been reported that the 2 individuals behind that were part of the yellow, vast movement, a huge social movement that started back in 2018 and happy with many of the policies of macro and governments is that there is still and the valley of resentment across the country. now, we may see present michael and writing fairly well in the polls at the moment. but
11:15 am
there is certainly an underbelly of individuals across the country who are unhappy with him. are unhappy with what he's done in his mandate so far, including forms he's made as well as those reforms he's attempted to make a not fully being able to implement. and you may have caught just off to that flop or could somebody shouted done with my phone isn't, and that's certainly, that is felt very widely across the country. he's charlotte ski empires. thank you . a video of an american father daughter do oh, speaking out against an idea known as critical race theory has gone viral on social media and comes amid an ongoing debate in america about the role of c, r t and both education and politics. it doesn't matter if you're black or white or anyhow, doesn't matter if you're black and white. brown. yeah. right. black in how we treat
11:16 am
people is based on who they are. and if their might see this is, this is our choosing. think right here, critical race theory wants to in. now we might, you not going to have the video, it's caught up 2000000 views on twitter. now the theory itself was put forward 40 years ago and essentially suggests that racism is systemic. and not just demonstrated by individuals with prejudices. c r t has been widely criticized with conservatives calling for a band on his teaching in schools. my colleague, you know, neil's spoke to the man behind the video of cory, joshua, i just think people are waking up to what's going on in the vision that's been going on. and i think people are tired, man, their teacher that are tar, that are writing me people going up to school boards now. yeah, i think people want to stand up because they see that they're trying to brainwash our children into seeing each other for the color they are and not the character
11:17 am
that they are. how would you describe corey, why critical race theory as proof, so divisive? i would say when you tell any group of people that their whole pressures, because of the color of their skin and you tell the other group that they are a pressed because of the color and they're seeing, you're going to find push bag. you are going to see people standing up. we know a martin luther king said, right just by the content of our cares and the color of our scheme. and when we see people trying to implement that into our schools, on to our children, you're going to push back. you haven't held back talking, but black lives matter either. you said the movement is for the destruction of america under families. can you just open up that, why did you say that? well, the co founder said she was a marxist. so we know what marxism leads to and that's communism that socialism. so for me and for america, that's not what we're about. the german health minister has been accused of
11:18 am
dodgy dealings with p. p. personal protective equipment, yen spawn, allegedly purchased face masks from a company. his husband worked for. but apparently, though he then tried to unload an order of the mosques onto the venerable and these mosques, what effective is our correspondent peter relevant. german health minister again spawns in hot water again over his handling of the covert pandemic. this time it's in relation to allegations made in the news magazine. there spiegel, the article alleges that the government was planning to dish out masks and p p that didn't meet your standards to vulnerable groups, including the disabled, the homeless, and those receiving welfare payments. the center of this all masks, and the claim being that these particular ones were purchased in spring 2020 at the height of a global p. p shortage for the princely sum from 1000000000 euro from china. the
11:19 am
problem being, they didn't come up to the code required for use in the european union. the health ministry here in germany has denied all of these allegations cool up, and these are corona virus protection mosques, and would have helped protect people against infection. they were tested several times according to the procedures from the institute for drugs and medical devices in german certification organizations. they were validated as offering protection against infection. politicians from other parties, particularly when there's an election just around the corner, want to see mr. spon appear before them and answer some questions. once again in span, wanting to get rid of useless masks by trying to give them to groups in need in our society. that is simply impossible to be in terms of cynicism and is absolutely unacceptable. that of all people with disabilities, the homeless and recipients of basic income support should be supplied with an
11:20 am
adequate masks shakes me deeply. i expect an explanation from spawn himself and a comprehensive clarification of the allegations. it no longer seems to matter that the health minister, once again seems to care less about the health of disabled and social disadvantage . people when its own failures are covered up. and once again, it seems to doesn't much that have been some is burned. while the idea of inferior masked for the poor in need, he has more than a little bit of a let me take feel about it. the health ministers boss is standing by her mom. when i see what is happening to yes, it really lacks any factual basis we have to pose it. now. the thing is, chancellor miracle's health minister is no stranger when it comes to controversy throughout the pandemic. he's been in and out of the newspapers here in germany over his real estate dealings, including the purchase of a $4000000.00 euro plus mansion in berlin. as well as an extensive portfolio of over holdings. while on his watch,
11:21 am
allegations of fraud have been made at some testing centers, where the number of tests claim to being carried out was far higher than the actual number completed. $660000000.00 euro was paid out in april and may centers get 18 euro per test completed. leading to more questions about mr. spawns leadership of the health ministry. after the masks, now the tests, the failure of management by the health ministry has taken on unacceptable proportions. the health minister, a said the allegations of corruption or fraud will be investigated fully. while the health ministry has said that there's no truth to the story that they were planning good masks for the halves and bad masks for the have nots. but that doesn't seem to be good enough for german lawmakers who are demanding to see again spawns in the pond. the stag, answering their questions some time in the very near future. peter, all of a r. t. berlin,
11:22 am
support of dover on the english south coast could start turning away child migrants within days. the local council says it services it just overwhelmed by newcomers. though it is a situation that town has faced before. i am deeply saddened that we are now seeing a repeat of the same crisis 9 months ago. while there have been a number of welcome measures from government. we have not seen what is most needed, a robust national thompson game that prevents port authorities such as kent coming under unmanageable pressure. so far this year, 242 loan charles migrants have arrived on kansas shores. only 52 were moved to other local authorities under a so called voluntary transfer scheme. the local council has launched legal action against time secretary pretty patel is demanding that she make other councils take their share. the home office said it will try to improve the scheme and pointed out that the overall number of children seeking asylum and the u. k. has actually dropped. at the same time patel has called for the removal of social media posts
11:23 am
that glamorize dangerous migrant crossings to europe and a letter to social media companies. she said videos promoting lethal crossings were unacceptable. earlier we discussed the issue with immigration virus, the robot parking, and former home office minister norman baker. well, you have to be, you have your friends on him in the u. k, there might be something that's been on the right. the things on thing provided me that there might be but he's not going to prevent people not going with the underlying fairness to take. the question is which specific countries responsible rootman in relation to this to take off the proceedings. the encounter council shields can continue to bear the grounds. making sense of the
11:24 am
call comes free or should that be written reasonably great vision appears to be indifferent to be complacent. on the matter of principle, tell appears to want to blame social media prices for the union. so people call to tunnel that of course are completely wrong. the national employee anyway. and the simply, the government is the idea that people should claim them in the country. they get to which is safe and creative to say. but of course we have it now. but know that the european union much weaker position natur cheap but we won't fund so much. and tied to until july, pretty patel, nationalistic and echoing a not c rallying cry. that's how it rushes foreign ministry sees ukraine's new football kit for the euro. 2020 championships, which do start later this week. the front of the kid features a map of ukraine. it includes crimea even though the peninsula rejoined russia in
11:25 am
2014 and below the color. it displays the slogans glory to ukraine and glory to heroes which are associated with the countries pro nazi power, miniature groups from the 2nd world war. a frequently heard at the far right demonstrations and made a spike in nationalistic sentiment in ukraine. oh yeah . this is a foreign ministry spokeswoman. maria is a hot of a says such gestures have no place in sport. this is another hand by cave state propaganda to consolidate in the public consciousness. a slogan that many korean brought associate with the ukrainian insurgent army lead based upon the era and their crimes. during the 2nd world war, crimea continues to be a thorny issue between moscow and kiev. it's historically, russian and residents didn't vote overwhelmingly for
11:26 am
a re unification with russia and a widely televised referendum. although ukraine still considered crimea to be part of its territory. now, european football is governing body. you for insist that ukraine's euro 2020 kit meets the organization's rules of despite thing. and that charter, that quote, provocative messages of a political, ideological, religious or offensive nature are banned. and we spoke with a constantly in casa off, the deputy chairman of russia's federation council. he said, ukraine is deliberately undermining the spirit of international sport, clinical, misled when you are yes, you know of you. it is absolutely inappropriate to bring disagreements over crimea into what is purely a sporting event. moreover, i am sure that this is not only our point of view. there are plenty of such disputes around the world, and there is a generally accepted policy in sports worldwide to leave such political disputes out of all sports and competitions. otherwise,
11:27 am
sports will turn into an arena for countries to argue about the relations and that should not be allowed. sporting events should remain just that. that's why we consider this to be a provocation with the ukranian side, his set up by designing these team kits for russia, the issue of crimea has been resolved. and of course, we use a map of russia with crimea included. there is no question about that. and no one should doubt it, but i would consider using the map in this way, inappropriate, because it would mean politicizing a sports tournament. russia does have every right to use such maps, but i personally would see the use of other national symbols to be our contribution to the principles of spores. what exactly is russia's objection to the slogans of pairing on the ukrainian kit. for example, glory to ukraine. glory to hear rose, it's such a problem. we're not responding in our country. we have a policy of 0 tolerance for any manifestation of naziism or near naziism. we would
11:28 am
like to believe that our european neighbors and partners share this policy as 0 tolerance. and we would like disposition to be consolidated against the ugly manifestations of naziism, a near naziism that we now see in ukraine. the provocative actions from ukraine directly contradict the norms and rules established by the international community to sports competitions, which are universal. we are deeply disappointed with the decision taken by you. a few sports associations should protect athletes from politics. but in this case, you did the opposite. speaking more generally. how would you assess the current state of russia, ukrainian ties and when, and how will they be normalized at the atlanta proposed to ship? the answer to this question is, exhaustively spelled out in the midst protocol, which was signed by ukraine. we are now waiting for ukraine implemented if and when these agreements are filled and recognized for the people, se, ukraine, the restoration of ukraine's integrity is absolutely possible. and we will
11:29 am
supportive and because of that, i'm sure there will be a chance to normalize our bilateral relations on the understanding that they will not constantly hawk back to the subject of crimea. joe biden has reassured ukrainian president vladimir zelinski, that he would stand up for ukraine in its tensions with russia. what leverage does the american president have in the dialogue with his russian counterpart for linear 6 years or the 5th for sure. unfortunately, the position of the united states and its nato allies on matters relating to ukraine has a destructive character simply because unconditional support for ukraine actually means indulging here on the point of noncompliance with immense protocol. i would hope that the slides will concentrate on an agenda of conciliation and addressing matters where we can achieve positive and constructive results by means of refreshment and cooperation. are some other headlines and brief pakistani

authorities are still clearing the wreckage of a train collision on monday in which at least 63 people died. heavy machinery was brought in to remove the mangled carriages with our military engineers assisting the operation. the accident happened when a passenger train derailed an offer derailed. it was struck by a 2nd train. the canadian protested, toppled and beheaded a statue of egerton riots. and one of the architects of the countries controversial residential school system. the statue was erected on the university campus, the bears, his name. the protest was an honor of $215.00 children whose remains were found at the sight of a former residential school for indigenous canadians. several cars were destroyed off at this right here, a large sink hole opening up in a cobb park outside a medical center in jerusalem. the hospital chief said nobody was injured and thought.
