over the past decade, advance mega projects most go urban for 2021. the largest international congress own negates that he development hours here on the china and russia once again, the high on the agenda as g. 7 leaders assembled for the 1st time since the outbreak of the pan demik. my colleagues do feel a sense of deep sense of the trial. we have young police officers who by age hello, we're not being vaccinated. how come up we want? you can police chiefs, raise the alarm about the lack of vaccinations for the false, and it fears the $5000.00 unvaccinated offices at the g 7 summit that somehow become cobit super spread. and in new york parents declare war on woke indoctrination at the school, putting up billboards demanding that children to be taught instead think for them to tell about the

timing is perfect. to kick up a bit. our program here on our t international. we've lined up your top friday. we'll have the 1st g 7 in person summit since the pandemic is to open today in the u. k. and for joe biden did marks his 1st overseas trip during his presidency ahead of the summit, and biden met with the host u. k. prime minister boris johnson. they signed a new atlantic charter based on a 1941 agreement that outlined the 2 countries goals off to the 2nd world war. the priority. now, according to the document is cooperation. and as for the g 7, the main talking points will be the pandemic trade climate change. and then of course, china and russia is what i guess dia examines why much of that agenda is simply a blast from the past. america is back. back for watson,

when did it ever leave whatever it is that it's coming back to from as unclear. at every point along the way, we're going to make it clear that united states is back and democracies of the world are standing together to tackle the toughest challenges and the issues that matter most to our future. well, that's good. suddenly, again, i can't remember them ever leaving, but if you are coming back to things you never left, then why the heck not sign things you've already signed or reverse, like atlanta, charter building on the commitments and aspirations that are 80 years ago. the firms are ongoing commitment to sustaining our enduring values and defending them against new and old challenges. so they're defending democracy, defending nato, defending trade, which american britain have done admirably if a tad violently but that's the rule they will now chic to combat cyber threats.

climate change and the pandemic, there's so much to do. and what better way to start than with jeezy jukes. so the prime minister we have so the both very i'm not sure i'm going to be sent from this. i'm going to disagree, or lead or else perhaps what may be construed as new is that button seems hell bent on returning a tool to the glory days of the cold war. and has, you've been clear the united states will respond in a robust and meaningful way and the russian government engages and harmful activities. we've already demonstrated that, except we've had the same thing in various forms. for now on a century, trump said the same things. so what did they mean? what is it that they say if it isn't russia aids?

yes, china, they call it say it out loud. no and ready yet, but it's there between the lines. we will focus on ensuring that market democracies not china or anyone else. right? the 21st century rules around trade and technology, and we will continue to pursue the goal of a europe whole free and at peace. biden wants to resurrect an old monster. the cold war with voss standing armies with voss military spending a vase blog to crush the competition and the competition. and he's in russia. the competition is china, which america still doesn't have an answer for. ahead of the g 7 summit, the chairman of the us joint chiefs of staff single about china and russia as the biggest global threats. but daniel mcadams, who's executive director at the ron poll peace institute, he says they're just inventing yet another run away. but i wonder if i fallen

asleep and waking up when woken up in 1978 or something, you know it's, it's, it's unbelievable that we need to sign a new atlantic lines. what is the atlantic? we have no idea what the atlantic is, the atlantic has been certainly since the end of the cold war, european countries incapable of developing their own independent foreign and domestic and economic policy basically blindly following the united states into places like at ghana, stan and syria in libya and miss adventure after misadventure. china is the big enemy of the defense secretary austin said we have to start acting like china is the in the mean, not just thinking like they are the enemy and this is how it works. this is how the u. s. military industrial complex works, you invent enemy, where it's a global war on terrorism, or the global fight against co good, or the global fight against china. you invent these bogeyman. and then you spend hundreds and hundreds of billions and trillions of dollars that go into the pockets of well connected companies. well connected, think tanks in the washington beltway,

and that's what keeps the machine going with the machine is going to end. because the american economy is about to collapse, it's teetering on the edge of collapse. on the eve of the summit, you can police communities have accused the government of betrayal. that hasn't prioritized the force of vaccines around $5000.00 on vaccination officers are expected to be present at the g 7 summit with one police chief warning they might become super spreaders. all this though, hasn't stopped the u. k. prime minister from choosing this moment to praise the force for it to work done during the pandemic. i bet the policing restrictions in that way was not something you ever dreamt you will be doing. but you did it because you knew it was how we were going to protect the n h. s. and save lives for something that facing out the police federation, annual conference abilene names, police thing on the pressure, those within the 4th, a claim that he and home secretary, principal cell,

set them on to the front line during a pandemic, totally unprotected and small words became lame actions on the result is up, my colleagues do feel a sense, a deep sense of betrayal. just this week we have thousands of colleagues from all over the country coming together to replace the g 7. so me to call the police officers from those very communities where the indian variance of the virus is thriving. we have young police officers who by age alone, will not have been vaccinated. how can not be ranked 6500 offices from every police force in the country. a part of the g 7 rings of steel and dealing with diplomat small over the world. meaning the summit could become a hot bed of covey, with offices acting as potential super spreaders. personally, an issue that needs to be considered whether or not there's any risk of a super spread, a soft event occurring around the g 7. so there are people from all over the world . they include people from countries where the rights of covey to

a very different from allison, with various different versions of a virus causing the problems. last year that were 89 police officer, dec involving cove it highlighting why police representative are so eager for their members to get their jobs if they're going to continue to put themselves at risk front line officers on the cell. so things tend to be the young end of the scale, certainly in large numbers, and therefore they will not yet have reached the point where they will all be vaccinated with the g 7 operation. now, the way there are fears and some courses that the damage has already been done and it leaves government officials hoping that the summit doesn't result in a surgeon code the cases. and particularly among those they've saw, protecting some of the world's most powerful people easily off the u. k. london. the lack of police vaccinations isn't the only pandemic related criticism being

laid on the british governments door. the u. k. health secretary might hancock has been branded a liar trying to rewrite history off the denied nationwide shortages of personal protective equipment while speaking before a parliamentary inquiry into the cobra crisis. i don't deny it all the way which challenges in individual areas. there was never a national shortage of p p because of the action that we took, that hancock was being scrutinized over the government's handling of the 1st stages of the pandemic, stands accused of failing to ensure sufficient stock piles of p. p e at hospitals ultimately endangering the lives of n h. s. staff. some health workers were even photographed making their own gowns. i've been by now the government is also accused of chaotic. p. p. e procurements, that cost billions extra to the state budget. however, the authorities defend cove and policies, the chairman of the u. k. doctors association told us does now greater distrust at

the n h s. i think it's very hard for me to just don't have trust in my goal is in the same breath need also denies the fact that they will problems with getting to the front lawn and other people. adequate. that actually doesn't seem to have been responsible for many of the death and the fact that he also says that he values an off and he recognizes they've made new cases, the ultimate sacrifice. but he's part of the government, which is recommended to one, not more than a one percent payroll listening that the u. k. government's cove and policies have repeatedly drawn criticism from the labor party. one of its members told us to health ministers just trying to mask failures during the pandemic. whether it's an action or incompetent to the government policy throughout this and dammit, because directly contributed to tens of thousands of deaths, one of the worst death tolls in the world. and in the face of all this might,

hancock is, is all out there in front of that committee, acting like a school boy whose dog has eaten his homework and he's blaming scientific claiming the public. anything but take responsibility for, for, for this himself. he's saying of p p, he's saying that the say no evidence that the lack of p p 4 for an a chest off directly contribute to the death. it was coming out with advice and information, saying that there was no evidence that mosque, wherein prevented covered cases. you have to ask you. so why would they coming out saying things that were so patiently wrong at the time is because they didn't have the p p for the public. angry parents in new york can last out at elite schools in the city for allegedly indoctrinating that children with woke values instead of teaching them how to think correspondent kellum often takes a closer look. it looks like some parents are fed up with critical race theory

being taught in school. mobile billboards have been set up outside of new york city, private schools, where parents are calling out the woke curriculum, taught on their money. the truck sign says, teach how to think. not what to think. woke school speak out and diversity not indoctrination. this campaign was organized by a group of parents who say they are concerned about what their children are being taught. in recent years, a new orthodoxy has emerged to tell us cause dividing our communities based and immutable characteristics such as race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation. as a result of the core tennis of high quality education, unite and all children and families through love and appreciation for learning and community spirit have gone by the wayside. schools should unite us not divide us. many of these parents say they are not opposed to an anti racist or pro diversity curriculum, but they say critical race theory is going a bit too far and causing more problems than it solves. we are

a group of concerned parents who believe there is a better way to promote diversity and include a teacher at lead and independent schools in new york city without sacrificing quality education for all students. to save our schools, administrators must ensure academic rigor and intellectual integrity requirements of any core curriculum. while respect and parents, as the primary moral educators of the children, parents aren't the only ones. there's an english teacher in new jersey at a private school who quit her job saying that critical race theory is racist. i'm resigning from a job that i love over the past few years. the school has embrace and ideology that is damaging to our students, intellectual and emotional growth and ideology that require students to see themselves not as individuals, but as representatives of either an oppressor or oppressed group and by professional opinion as an educator, the school is failing to encourage healthy habits, mind essential for growth, a growing number of parents and teachers objects to the teaching of critical race

theory in school. this is yet another conflict and a time of already deep divisions in the united states of america. well, how will this all ultimately be resolved? well, it looks like it will be up to our children to settle this. i actually think that critical race theory would be allowed in our schools to teach children teach him at home and not in the school. well, no need for that is what is doing is teaching kids how to have them felt what cultural is out of place that has no place in fact at all. and in order to change we got this about lynn. i was so from our teachers teach this particular correctly yes. go back to the base keisha banners that we had before. and i was we want to change the situation. we must fight hard and we must do it from our home. that was our church to the way that we think we need to do it. so at this particular point,

we have got the points back and pushed back car fillmore to come here on the program on your friday edition of our international, the 2020 european football championships. kicking off today, i will head to one of the host cities out of some petersburg venice of the nor to check out preparations that were back in just the join me every thursday on the alex silent show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world. the politics sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. me rather driven by dreamer shapes by those in

me dares thing. we dare to ask me. said there were some or solutions every year. we tried to dig into the solutions and we've got a special guest today. jim counselor of counsellor dot com ah, just off the quarter pumps. here in moscow, a special police unit has been disbanded in the german city of frankfort. its

members also suspected of having shed far right content in a group chat our seats peter oliver investigates the story. now, this involves 17 actual front lines and former and current front line members of the special task force or s k in front. for now, that's pretty much the equivalent of a swat team in the united states or the special firearms command in the united kingdom. it also involves 3 senior offices who apparently knew what was going on and didn't act what it's understood is that this group charts were sharing fall right extremist messaging as well as not the symbols. now it's prompted the interior minister of the state of has frank for lies to despond. the unit saying that it needed to be over hold completely the unacceptable misconduct of several employees, as well as the turning away of immediate superiors and the special task force of frankfort made its complete dissolution necessary. nothing that can remain as it

was, even those who look the other way and thus fail to fulfil their direct superior ro must expect disciplinary consequences. this isn't the 1st time that we've seen fall right extremist activity and the police or the military here in germany. there's been a number of incidents over the last couple of years. i the i run to restructuring under way of special tactical police units in have both they, when they all restructured, will be firmly under the microscope as well as will police forces and the military

across germany. after these claims these allegations of fall right extremism in the ranks, rushes, the media and communications regulator has published a report, detailing how social media giants are breaking the law. it follows a large scale inspection a bit older and the program i got the details from montes saskia taylor. we know that the internet is a pace. it's really hard to control, but fears are growing that it's become out of control recently lacking sufficient regulation. and because of the rushes media watchdog launch to review that looked into what started, especially social media platforms are or are not as it turns out, doing to make the internet a safe place. now course in the past we've seen how often harmful content lingers on line unchecked. pay just how the live stream of the christ church massacre circulated on facebook for hours afterwards. but the statistics from this report

really expose how well negligent these platforms bean, you know, we're talking about tow pornography pro drug pro suicide content terrace material, and i'm talking thousands and thousands of incidence. there is so much, but just as an example for 6 years, twitter kept up $6000.00 posts of that kind, seemingly taking no regulatory steps and even when it did, it moved at a glacial pace. facebook, for example, on average to $105.00 days to remove these kinds of post. in the meantime, you, of course, have under age vulnerable people exposed to all of this back in march. actually, russia's media watchdog warn twitter of a total bon unless it got this illegal content under control. and as a warning step that actually slowed the sites traffic which ultimately pushed it to remove a lot of the not all of the content after hundreds of post op simply it's imposed financial. a penalties including, for example,

23000000 rouble fine for twitter. 43000000 facebook. so the conclusion here that's coming out is that only by punishing these platforms by threatening them with, with bonds and with fine up to loss is action taken, which is a terrifying fort. why on these platforms themselves incentivized to tackle in legal and harmful content? you know, the online johns, maybe violating the law by keeping certain content up. but as i understand, the russian authorities are also riled by what's been taken down. not a well exactly. so on the one hand we've got twitter and co dragging their feet when it comes to st. child pornography. but the report claims that on the other hand, when it comes to sensory content of especially russian media and of course r t, they are quick and happy to press that delete button 29 times. for example, by google and youtube alone. i can't count how many times i've talked about this, whether it's about youtube bonding and taking down our sister channel or

t arbuckle. even my own material, you're 2 months ago. i did a live stream dedicated to 60 years since the fast pass and fluid space. i spoke to cosmo about life on the international space station. it was fun, it was homeless and it will bond with no reason given. so the review really does lay by how problematic these platforms are. all they knowingly not protecting people are they simply overwhelmed by the extent of harmful content. and why be turning a blind eye to often in the content that causes emotional and physical often fatal harm. but then arbitrarily censoring content simply contributes to diversity of voices. and it's clear that russia feels that it can only see a change if it forces a change because these platforms at this stage clearly don't feel any sense of responsibility before the users learn a little bit more about this crossing live. now to technology export bill new joining us on the program. great to see today bill, according to the russian media regulator, google, twitter, facebook,

they've all failed to take down thousands of posts and videos that break russian lloyd. you ever get the sense of these companies. they just don't really care that much about the laws of the countries where they operate. well they, they don't enormous amount to remove content. there is an enormous amount comes in . they do remove all the christ church into the video shown there was removed over a 1000000 time ago. the amount that they invest in actually getting this right has been brought into question. and actually, to large extent, these large platforms failed. there are above the law. they have chosen to comply with various different privacy laws in various different jurisdictions. they've also kind of thumb the nose up on top of the content restrictions, right. i think that that the find that being given they can just brush up. but if anything is cool cases, they have an enormous army of lawyers are gonna tell you people up and go forever.

the really thing that has actually brought, i'm just, and the severity with which some different jurisdictions are actually growing, fed up with them. some of the bands that they faced in australia, there was a bomb, the sharing of news content. there's been a threat. so in facebook, it would be banned from sharing private data between europe and america. and now in russia, another country, more and more jurisdictions are standing up to them saying, i'm sorry, you're not so buying a low, not doing what we require in terms of content moderation. i mean, barrier many areas such as some of the stuff that take down from all the others. now showing double standards. well, you mentioned a few moments ago, bill tech john to get find all the time and it doesn't seem to do them really much harm at all financially. although restricting that traffic does seem to get their attention, how would you advise rushers watchdog to tackle this issue?

yeah, i think we're going to see some slightly more draconian measures taken by various different authorities and certainly in the european union following a case brought by much trends against spice book. this will be aligned in the side where most of the tech johns will be told they have to respect privacy. they have to put measures in place to protect all privacy, or they're simply not going to be able to operate in the wide by a strong stood up to them all move on the news. russia is now standing, not them in this measure. we're seeing more and more different jurisdictions taking action of this nature. what about a couple of days ago? well, i'm sure you saw the new story. we covered it here on t just a couple of days ago. nigeria ban twitter after deleted president bull harvey's tweets. donald trump voices support football hardy calling twitter quote. evil. what do you think these platforms are taking censorship a bit too far?

well, i don't think we necessarily want to see buyers that this going to show. look at not jerry and one is actually going to either have the effect they want j or indeed a positive effect at all. we would far prefer these large technology. john's actually to take the regulations more seriously. and europe certainly with the privacy rules. they know that they have been in breach of the presidency rules. they know it's down to some of the restrictions on massive island intrusion based out of the us. and they need to be able to get those rules change in terms of some of the hip pops are all crazy that they show they accuse that the chinese why, why is it doing terrible things? when actually much of the surveillance is being carried out by the americans are not themselves. and the same time, they may point fingers at all to, you know, the new sources. when in the america they have fox news coming out with the most ridiculous,

don't fail new technology. joining us live here on in to national. appreciate your time. thanks for joining us on this friday. well, the euro 2020 finally gets under way to de rushes among the host countries with 7 games being held in his northern capital st. petersburg correspondent, alexia shasky, reports from the city euro 20 twenties, a football tournament, stretching across the 4 corners of the continent and russia's northern capital. st . petersburg has an extended role to play while other nations have struggled to get funds back into the grounds. you took with 1900 russia host that 50 percent of stadiums for the majority of its domestic season. and for the euro. 2020 st. petersburg is ready to make some noise. there is a serious football vibe to the so called venice of the north. it is the home to venice, champions of russia for the last 3 seasons. what place could be bad as one of the

whole cities for the euros saint petersburg? adores football. possesses one of the most beautiful technological stadiums in, in russia gives us an opportunity to welcome all the fans who wish to come and enjoy the great. you're being very impressive. 2018 world cup and russia managed to sway officials so much that this stadium here in st. petersburg will also host the way for champions league final next year. and as other cities across the continent failed to meet the anti corporate 19 criteria. this city stepped right up, only wembley in london will host more euro 2020 fixtures than this stadium here in st. petersburg. i know that you a 5 doing everything possible to ensure that the european championship is a success particular attention has been paid to the media and accreditation for journalists, it's extremely difficult to organize such a large scale international event given the situation in the world today. i can

tell you that i have not come across such a constructive attitude from all involved parties for a long time. we cannot hide from the fact that life and sport i a very different world. now, you are 2022 taking place in 20. 21 is the perfect reminder of how the pandemic has impacted on europe. but this tournament will be litmus test for you a far too and what's been a listless yet half for football. russia kept it stadiums opened through a large percentage of fans throughout the season. and this was a rather unpopular decision at 1st, but gradually turned into pride because we talking about real fans here, not cardboard cutouts or pre recorded fake noise. now you a fan is, grunted st. petersburg stadium, a 50 percent capacity quarter for the 7 games of euro 2020. and we're talking about 30000 live fans at this very ground. an agreement is also in place to allow

traveling fans from abroad without any of these requirements if they have a ticket, a fan id and a negative p c r test. so russia is waiting for you with open restaurants, bars and arms. just remember to keep the strict anti coves measures, but that is the price. many fans are more than willing to pay. it's an amazing opportunity that we got and expectedly because some european countries could not host matches. and we always can, they can't, we can, are you happy with an organization? it's great when we were the world cup, things were slower. here, everything is better. i wish every one felt the same way. though denmark opened it stadium still local fans, but not allowing any russian fans inside. and russia is to play denmark in copenhagen. and even before a ball has been kicked, politics is already making headlines. first.
