[000:00:00;00] ah, in the end, the big new stories, the weak g 7 late is a great a global infrastructure plan to compete with china's belton road initiative as the 1st in person summit. since upon that, make jose to close in england. the have a look. the french president get slap to the face will try to get up close and personal with the crowd. the supposed supporters in the front and french recent blocking in g area, twitter cries, fall, calling an open and free internet of basic human rights. at the same time as a social platform studley census,

it's used in the us. ah more exactly one minute palsy to the morning. moscow time this sunday, the 13th of june. welcome to the weekly with me, kevin. know it a recap of some of the main stories making the headlines from the law suite that we brought it started with this and this weekend. so they helped me right now just about stale. the 1st g 7 in person summit since the pandemic coming to an end now in the u. k. for joe biden, it marks his 1st overseas trip of his presidency ahead of the summit by met with a host british prime minister boris johnson. they signed a new atlantic charter indeed, based on an agreement that outlined the 2 countries goals after world war 2. the priority now according to the document is cooperation. as for the g 7 main,

other talking points worthy pandemic a, the climate change plus china and russia, senior correspondent ward goes have explained why much of the gender is a bit of a blast from the past. it was 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. a 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 seek to combat cyber threats. climate change in the pandemic. there's so much to do. and what better way to start than with jeezy jukes. so the prime minister of so they both very i'm not, i'm from that i'm going to disagree already on the 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 his, you've been clear the united states will respond in a robust and meaningful way and the russian government engages in harmful activities. we've already demonstrated that,

except we've had the same thing in various forms for now on a century. if it isn't russia aids. yes, china, we will focus on ensuring the 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, once the resurrect an old monster, the cold war with vos, standing armies with vase military spending, a vase block 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. during the summer, the g 7 leaders backed us plans to for vast global infrastructure drive to rival china's belton road initiative. whitehead statement, claiming the build back better world plan will raise public and private funds to

close the infrastructure gap for poor nations. although some g 7 states including germany and italy of res doubts about open rivalry was paging the bells and wrote initiative. just remind us setup back in 2013 to try to link scores of countries by rail road and see notably across africa and asia. while the g 7th lead is to compete with this in the sphere of infrastructure ahead of the summit, the chairman of the u. s. joint chiefs, so stuff singled out china and russia as the biggest global threats from a military standpoint. guess. shared with us their perspective on the u. s. pressure on china. the 1st we have seen success of escalating containment strategies against china. so it's 1999, each one failing. and now it's by turn, the u. s. desperate to sustain and re enforce its global hegemony. already seen some hesitation from germany and italy and transit said, the existing system already dominated by the same countries should be reformed and

made more equitable. if this is really just an effort to build an anti china block and it's human cost will outweigh its benefits. and that's a real possibility. here. we see a long term go to fries china out. and i don't think that the us reverse course and work with china on something like this, particularly after poisoning the well looking at to try to recover rhetoric over the last few years. well, 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 find a new atlantic life. 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 independence, foreign and domestic and economic policy basically blindly following the united states into places like afghanistan 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 and the mean not just thinking like they're the

enemy and this is how it works. this is how the u. s. military industrial complex works, you invented in me words, the 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. it's called the cameras clicking my new micro and get nasty shell called choose day during a visit to the south of france, where he was trying to drum up support for his election campaign. he walked up to a barrier to greed locals. and this is what our next the group group group. oh, well 2 men who feel rested following that assault on president macro. and it's the

1st time that you've been physically assaulted since becoming president. that happens in the south of france near the city of violin. and that's the store and that video present mike on exits a hotel school where he's been taking a visit. he walked towards a crowd of people who are all behind the metal barrier. then present. michael puts his hand on a man's on the man and grabs back at president mike on before administering that all my feet slap. the security agency immediately intervened, and 2 individuals were taken into custody for willful violence against the person holding public authority. now that's an offense, it's taken pretty seriously here in france, and could see somebody put in jail for up to 3 years as well as paying a fine, a 45000 years. but of course, that would be for a judge to decide how lenient they may wish to be. and of course, for an individual to be found guilty of the offense. and you might have caught just

the end of that video, somebody shouting down with macro ism and there is a suggestion that the individuals behind this assault own, the president or yellow vest, bolton, and unauthorized protest earlier in the day. but the reality is what this is shown is that there is still an under current to present. and again, president michael and his policies. those have been passed. the reforms as well as those he's attempted to pass to the front. and i bet housing is managed to do so or how to move them down slightly. there's been a huge reaction hearing from including coming from the government, the prime minister showing cas 6 saying that this was an attack on democracy. they will come see who's on it plus your said. so does it, democracy is debate. dialogue is confrontation, the expression of legitimate disagreements, but it can in no way be violent, verbal, aggression,

and less physical aggression. we're all concerned foundations about democracy, young to the head of state democracy that is targeted young. fiji also we've heard from a political policy from across the political spectrum with authorization lead is pretty much on the same page. a very rare hearing from all saying 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. well, president, marconi is currently on the top from says it's been cold, he's taking the temperature, testing it to see whether or not he should be running. and next is presidential election. he hasn't officially said he's going to, but the idea that he's making this visit is seen as many as

a pre election tool. and it seems as we get closer and closer to the election, we like to see more of that resentment coming through. but for the moment in from present, my phone associate with 2 individuals in the south of france now under arrest wound for violence against the person holding public authority. so the attacker was 28 year old damien terrell. he was sentenced to 4 months in prison and an additional 40 mom suspended sentence. tara was also banned from holding public office and promoting weapons for 5 years. at the same time as the slop episode provoked to an avalanche of jokes and means own line. twitter, for instance, in particular saying numerous political caricature is mocking micron. cullum is alexis poodle and told us it's micron who's been slapping the french people in the face. we believe this is where a manual microns power lies. in other words, is the ultra personalized alter centralized power of the president? obviously,

there are still people who are ready to break through rows of riot police to get the president. violence is unacceptable and we see how representative is a political community unanimously condemned to live in the faith. but in a sense, the money macro himself represents violence because it's he who authorized use of normally for weapons by law enforcement agencies. that is why many protests were injured last the eyesight during the yellow vest demonstrations. there is a huge gap between the manual microns outlandish promises and what he is doing, which is nothing more than a constant communication is a marketing campaign. the more he wants to getting tends to return to considering pension reforms. you always have to unpleasant remark and he's awesome. because he who constantly slaps the french people during his public speeches, and now he gets a slap in the face himself, which of course deserves condemnation. since he is no authority figure, the slot, made it through microns personal security guards. and this is a lesson for all of those needs to be brought in. the us state department,

along with some western diplomatic missions, is colder than i, jerry and government to reverse. a recent ban on twitter. it also condemned threats to arrest. it's uses my g area outlaw the social media network saying it persistently was used to undermine the countries existence and comes off the platform to lead to the post by the nigerian president which form local separatists of consequences unless they relent. but while twitter claims are free and open internet is an essential human, right, as he goes done, off reports makes, it appears to operate according to different principles. the free speech wing of the free speech boxing. this is how twitter executives love to define their platform. the self righteousness of this is only matched by how far the twitter executives are detached from reality lately, the band, the jury and president over this tweet. many of those misbehaving today, too young to be aware of the destruction and loss of lives that occurred during the

nigerian civil war. those of us in the fields for 13 months, who went through the war will treat them in the language that understand, taught or moderator may not be able to find nigeria on the math. but apparently, their interpretation of the country's history is more accurate than the presidents who obviously wasn't impressed. and he's government wasn't taking any of that. where people was morning politicians. i couldn't a police way and a jury duty and us for today. it was about the right to protest, but what a similar to happened when the capital he became for action. when are going to be fooled by anybody where have gone to rule? how do for the best of our ability. twitter wasn't ready for that,

and it is hard to judge them for it. they had already successfully banned one of the most powerful men in the world and got away with a consequence. free nigeria though, did something about it. the das, it's he, we are deeply concerned by the blocking of twitter in nigeria, access to the free and open internet isn't essential, human rights in modern society. just put everything down for a 2nd, appreciate the absolute, logical pandemonium. here with me, twitter, which is very trigger happy over an arbitrary set of rules to deny people the right to speak out is trying to be the champion of free speech. you can make this up, but the band caught the eye of some politicians who condemned it. diplomatic missions of canada, the european union, the republic of ireland, the united kingdom and the united states of america, convey our disappointment over the government of nigeria as announcement suspending

twitter. funding systems of expression is not the answer. these measures inhibit access to information and commerce and some other politicians who in turn got ideas. twitter noncompliance with our rules will lead to unintentionally consequences, including twitter losing exemption from liability as an intermediary the information most time, even if it appears very attractive candidate, tend to foreign state how to live, how to interpret historical events, what movies to watch, or what music to listen to otherwise, instead of freedom of speech, it becomes a dictatorship of opinion for sole purpose. and perhaps more official should take a closer look at nigeria handling this. because if banning a president over an opinion somehow made it into twitter as definition of free speech, we all need a lesson in how to deal with big tech tyranny. twitter has no business deciding on

what geo political figures have to say about anything because they're not. they're not informed enough of it to do so they just are responding based on their own political prejudices. with very little knowledge about what the situation involve, especially in nigeria, twitter is pretending to be the government of the world along with other social media platforms. they are trying to institute their own sort of governmental power . the social media platform to combine have more power than all the nations of the world. and in fact, to all the states in the world, in terms of political influence. so no, this is not surprising and it's not warranted that these nations would be trying to curve twitters political power. the video of an american father, daughter d o speaking out against idea known as critical race series,

gone viral on social media. it's made an ongoing debate, of course, in the us. so with a role of this kind of approach to racial studies and education and politics, you're black or white, or any doesn't matter if you're black. why? brown? yeah. right. black in how we treat people is based on who they are and whether or not this is, this is how children think right in critical race nearing want to in now we, my children are not going to happen. well, the video has been re posted to twitter, it's close to more than 2000000 views. the theory itself was put full way back 40 years ago, and essentially suggests that racism is systemic within society. but it's been widely criticized with many calling for a ban on its teaching and schools now and for being divisive and damaging the students, but call to get it neil in the week spoke to the man behind the video. so 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, there are teachers that are tar that are writing me. people going up the 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 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 back. you are going to see people standing up. we know what 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 see pushback. 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 and 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. part of a much longer conversation, bro, in the way next to the present was totally unacceptable for most of this can be excused if you remember the biden family. liberal media in the us have turned a blind eye than to joe biden, son, freely using the n word in his personal text messages. one of the ledge tape with the former american president, donald trump dropping the same word, cause he is a bitter outcry. if we're trying to look to that in the week, a bit of contrast for you from the biden family courting the intelligence community

. terrorism white supremacy is the most lethal threat to homeland today. not isis? not a kind of white supremacy. yes. why did i say from the biden family, you must have recognized joe biden, and whose speech commemorating the deaths of hundreds of black people at the hands of a white mob a century ago, in tulsa as well. and the text with the n word were recovered by the daily mail outlet from the abandoned laptop of the president, son hunter. you'd think the shocking races banter by the commander in chief's closest relative would spark. i'm again on tv. nope. the u. s. mainstream media aren't too bothered, but what if the laptop belong to the son of donald trump? they would lose their dam mines. it would be the number one story on sin and emerson, b. c. and the usual outlet to week straight. but amazingly, they're 100 percent silence on this may be the silences because the story is

a bit too old. oh, come on. when did that stop the corporate networks? and to prove that from junior does have a point. here's a story to compared with back in 20 thing, a former white house employee claimed trump staffers had been aware of an alleged tape with the ex president saying the n word. years earlier when he hosted the apprentice. the existence of such recordings was never proven, but the claims were all over the prime time news. what does it say about this president that his own press secretary says she cannot guarantee that there isn't a tape of donald trump using the word. and marissa has a recording that she says she recently made, as i see, she secretly made of her firing by john kelly claimed by his former adviser and reality tv costar, alma rossa mangold newman, that she heard mr. trump hughes, racial insult. but the last name of the man who apparently wrote this is biden, not trump, so chill. all right,

not so easy. the republicans won't chill over the hypocritical reporting. plus there's an outcry on social media with the races hunter hash tag trending his hunter by the white nationalist. now this term only applied to republicans. this is disgusting and unacceptable. i can't help. but notice the silence from cnn and countless woke celebrities. weird how everyone has creamed about racism. white supremacy for the last 4 years are completely silent about member of the 1st family hunter biden, using the n word multiple times along with races, stereotypes, and means. perhaps you can't afford to be a little careless with laptops. as long as you know you've always got the behemoth at the liberal media at your back. the business of exploiting racism is exclusively a democrat policy if anyone else was using the n word in casual communications that

were private like e mails with friends or colleagues, they would be burned at the stake publicly for having done so. and meanwhile, here we are with hunter biden doing an imprint, but you don't see it on the mainstream media because they're protecting democrats, especially biden's, and you're never going to find out about it's a unique privilege to be protected by the media when you're doing things that are totally unacceptable. hunter biden has that cripple the 2020 european football championship. finally kicked off this week, then ended up being postpone from last year course because of the pandemic life. slowly getting back into kilter again. 3 games have been played so far, including russia is much against group favors, belgium in front of 832000 strong home crowd in st. petersburg and the day that the belgian team ultimately won the match 3 nail. the tool on is being held in 11 different countries with russia. hosting 7 games correspondent lecturer jessica

gave us this pre match. look at what funds can expect here in russia. euro 2020 is a football tournament, stretching across the 4 corners of the continent and rushes northern capital st. petersburg has an extended role to play while other nations have struggled to get funds back into the grounds. due to cope with 19 russia host at 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 better as one of the whole cities for the euros, even more fans will be impressed with what's available in the city. the opportunities in saint peter and the culture. it's a truly wonderful place with endless possibilities. more especially in the summer coach and entertainment to yes, especially in some very impressive 2018 world cup and russia managed to sway

officials so much that the 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 coby 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 j 5 doing everything possible to ensure that the european championship is a success particular attention has been paid to the media and the cretaceous 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 2020 taking place in 20. 21 is the perfect reminder of how the

pandemic has impacted on europe. but this tournament will be the litmus test for you, a fun to and was been a listless yen. half for football, russia kept it stadiums open to 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 for granted 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 funds 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 just remember to keep the strict anti corbet measures, but that is the price many fans more than willing to pay. it's an amazing

opportunity that we got on expectedly because some european countries could not host matches. and we always con, con what 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 everyone felt the same way though. denmark opened it stadiums to 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 ukraine teams kit stage with political message is then as thereby johnny officials blocking accreditation for our top common sites in russia because of his armenian roots. football just wants to pass around all this math for rest assured when the tournament kicks off from one care. here, and in the other 10 whole cities, this is the moment many have been waiting for, and hopefully

a turning point for sports. i'm quality, alexia, reporting from st. petersburg. yes, some great games to come. so that's to look at some of the stories he brought you from around the world. and in the week just go home. it is sunday morning. right now i see the coma brings you all the stories that are happening at your fingertips too. i'm going to shut up for a minute. i'm back with more and how from kevin? no, inciting, off of a good day. the join me every thursday on the alex simon show. when i was speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business, i'll see you then. me lawyer john little as well acquainted with the federation history has made it his

mission to fight for justice for the victims of sexual abuse and support. he has worked on countless cases in sports such as gymnastics, diving, fencing and field hockey. but there has been more lawsuits against usa swimming than against any other federation. well, these are, these are the stuff in swimming. this stuff is pretty old. this is 80 to 92, which guys me, i cannot keep track of all the swimmers that have called me over the years. there's too many, john has all kinds of documents in his files such as this confession from 986, signed by a coach. i recur, declare of my own free will and volition that i have had sexual intercourse with
