me, the the, the, the, the was storing contacts and the organizing direct dialogue. let him have codes in share use x, big taishan to that big upcoming summit with joe biden. be the weekly been sunday some more. the headlines redraw your last 7 days. g. suddenly disagreeing on a global infrastructure plans to compete with china's belts and road initiative as the 1st in person the summer since closing coal, england. the point about stop the weeks, the french president getting slapped in the face will try to get up close and personal with a crowd of supposed supporters in the sense that his country doctorates recent

blocking in agirri, twitter cried foul calling an open and free internet of basic human rights, the same times the social media platforms that the senses it's uses in the us. ah, one of the afternoon here and i live from oscar this sunday 30 to june, will welcome to the weekly with me, kevin, in a recap of some of the main stories and headlines that we brought you over the last 7 days. and this one happening right now, looking forward to what's coming up this week to start with actually to restore contacts and organize direct dialogue. that's what led him. putin says he expects from a big upcoming summit with joe biden. the russian president gave his thoughts in an in released interview with state television watch and, and across. so let me know if a drinker, a correspondent in the student tell us more ref putin to talk about an upcoming summit like this. some is a lot of attention on it, new president in the,

in the white house, i was thinking what's going to come. so what came out of what poaching had to say then looking forward to it? while the interviews out mister poking was finally specific about the exact things that he's intending to bring up during that crucial summit in geneva. and 1st of all, the russian leader brought up the issues of global security. the russian president pointed out, once again, moscow's concerns about the natal missile defense systems that are very close to the russian borders. it is that we have always tried to behave with sufficient restraint. after all, we did not take a single step in any of the areas which would aggravate the situation. we're talking about security issues about these red lines about the possible deployment of all kinds of combat systems. there is miss l strike and so on. i have already mentioned poland and romania missile defense systems are already being deployed

there and strike systems can be supplied to them as well. but we have removed our military base from cuba because we don't do such things. but our partners, unfortunately, are doing just that. that water boot and said that he hoped that the summit could at least create the conditions for a proper and fair discussion on these matters. and also the russian leader went on to praise biden's administration for prolonging the new star treaty, which is a key nuclear arms reduction bilateral treaty between moscow and washington. and we'll know when the new administration led by president biden extended the new start treaty 1st step. and i think this is a very important step. and in general, of course, on the part of president biden, this is a manifestation of professionalism. the course he'll say is going to bring up cybersecurity as well. it's something that some of been talked about of late did

tend to trust between the us and russia. so that's can be mentioned as well. and he talked about it in the survey. and kevin, what is global security without cybersecurity? that is clearly a major thing. and this is something else that a lot of my poodle is going to bring up. that was something important that mr. poop and said about that. he believes that massive shutdowns of infrastructure or industry systems could lead to some very serious consequences. and clearly, the russian president was hinting at the recent cyber attacks against us infrastructure. now, while moscow maintains that it has nothing to do with these attacks, mr. newton wants to discuss it, and according to the kremlin, the intention is from the russian side to also somehow hammer out a bilateral treaty to make sure that these things are put under control. so here's what exactly mr. to set on. that agreements are expressed in the relevant

interstate documents and there, and these documents, agreements, contracts, the parties assume certain obligations and these obligations and the overwhelming majority of cases are equal. both parties share the same commitment. if we agree to expedite criminals, then russia will do it. but only if the united states agreed to expedite criminals to the russian federation as well. so the closer we are getting to that geneva summit, the more we're starting to find out of what exactly is going to be discussed. so again, we're all in ford and we shoot it's happening. lovely. all right, so looking forward to that mid week will be across the course. let you go for now. something happening this weekend, wrapping up this weekend. this we go back to the weekly now and the top stories the last 7 days to start the phase. the 1st g 7 in person summit since the pandemic that was big in itself coming to an end in carmel and the u. k. as for joe biden, it was a big thing for him. the 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 shots at no less based on an agreement that outlined the 2 countries goes after world war 2. the priority. now, according to the document, is cooperation. as for the g 7 main, talking points for the pandemic trade and climate change plus china and russia, but our senior correspondent would go see if explains why much of that agenda is a bit of a blas from the past. these days, what 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 some things you've already signed or reverts like atlantic 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 not all. they will now chic 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 we have so the both very i'm not sure i'm going to be sent from this. 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 and 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 that market democracy's 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 that piece biden wants to 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. well meantime those g 7 leaders

have come up with an answer to china's belton road initiative by backing us plans for a vast global infrastructure dr. white statement claiming the build back better world plan would raise public and private funds to close the infrastructure. got for poorer nations? well, there's some g 7 states including germany in italy, of raise doubts about open rivalry with beijing. the belt road initiative from china was set up in 2013 to link schools at countries by railroad and see notably across africa and asia. so now while the g suddenly desire to compete with that in the sphere of infrastructure, with paramount as well ahead of the summit, the chairman of the u. s. joint chiefs has stuff singled out china and russia as the biggest global threats from a military standpoint. gas shed with a perspective on the u. s. pressure on china at the moment. 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 practice of 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 goal to freeze 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, we've had to try to recover rhetoric of 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 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 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 enemy, where it's 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. but the machine is going to end because the american economy is about to collapse. it's teetering on the edge of collapse on the great stuff to wait for a minute. macaroni got a nasty shop, choose the jury, been to the south of france, where he was trying to throw up support for his election campaign. he walked up to the barrier to greet locals,

and then this is what happened. the 2 men who being arrested following that assault on president macro and the 1st time that you've been physically assaulted since becoming president, that happens in the south of france near the city of violence. and as you saw in that video, president mike on exits the hotel school where he's been taking a visit. he walks towards a crowd of people who are all behind the metal barrier. the president michael put his hand on a man's on the man that grabs back president michael. before administering the all mighty slap, the security agency immediately intervened in 2 individuals were taken into custody for wilful violence against the person holding public authority. now that's an offense, it's take him pretty seriously hearing fonts 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 up 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 on the president or yellow vest involved 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 to and again president michael and his policies. those have been passed the reform as well as those he's attempted to pass to the front. and i bet housings managed to do so or how to move them down slightly. there's been a huge reaction hearing problem including coming from the government, the prime and shown cas tech's saying that this was an attack on democracy. now they will see who's on the loose pass your said. so democracy is debate. dialogue

is confrontation, the expression of legitimate disagreements, but it can in no way be violent, verbal, aggression, and even less physical aggression. we are all concerned, it is the foundations of our democracy. through the head of state, it is democracy that is targeted. you're also we've heard from a political policy from across the political spectrum with all physician leaders pretty much on the same page. 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 target in 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 tool defrauding 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 from now under arrest, wound for violence against the person, the holding public authority. so turned out the attack. it was someone called tonia yield damian, taro. he was sentenced to 4 months in prison with an additional 40 mom suspended sentence. tara was also banned from the holding public office and promoting weapons for 5 years. at the same time that slap episode provoked an avalanche. c of jokes and means on line with twitter in particular seeing numerous political characters mocking micron cala, mr. lexus, poland spoke to somebody in the week. he says it's some,

a chronic fun. and his views been slapping the french people in the face along the way. we believe this is where a manual microns power lies. in other words, is the ultra personalized and 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 the political communities unanimously condemn the flap in the face. but in a sense, the money macro himself represents violence because it's he who authorized the 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 ammonia microns outlandish promises and what he is doing, which is nothing more than a constant communications and marketing campaign. the more he wants to getting tends to return to considering pension reforms. he always has some unpleasant remark and he's arsenal. it is 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 reasons, from central china, this sunday, at least 12 people have been killed under and said he had injured in a gas explosion, the powerful blast. and the city of she caused the whole of the food market there to collapse early the morning at 6 am local time. nonetheless, even that time, even if in the weekend, there were people having breakfast and buying groceries when the blast party went through the building, real mess in their search and rescue teams. working the scene us state department along with some west and diplomatic missions is colder than gerry and government to reverse a recent battle on twitter. it also condemned threats to arrest its uses. material outlaw the social media networks is persistently used to undermine the countries existence. it comes off the platform, deleted the post by the nigerian president,

which warned local separatists of consequences unless they relent. but well, to claims of free and open internet as an essential human, right. as he goes, dana f reported in the week, 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 syrian 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 nigeria and 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 moderate may not be able to find nigeria and 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, why morning politicians are going to policemen a jury duty and us for to die. it was about the right to protest, but what a similar to happened when the capital he became a selection when are going to be formed by anybody? we have economy 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 o dash city. 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 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 is 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 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. this law suite british health segment hancock was branded a lawyer trying to rewrite history off. he denied nationwide shortages of personal protective equipment. while speaking, before a parliamentary inquiry into the coven crisis, i don't deny it all the, with the challenges in individual areas, there was never a national shortage of p. p because of the action that we took. hunker was being

scrutinized, and over the government's handling of the 1st stages of the pandemic. that stands accused of failing to ensure sufficient stockpiles of p. p. hospitals, therefore, endangering the lives of national health service stuff. some workers were even photographed. you may recall yourself making their own gowns that have been bags. the government also accused of chaotic. p. p. e procurements that cause billions extra to the state budget. however, the authorities defend the coven policies. the chairperson of the you case doctors association tells us no far greater distrust within the n h s. i think it's very hard for me to just don't have trust in my call, if in the same breath need also denies the fact that they will problems with getting p p to the front long. in other words, p p was 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 know in many 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's the u. k. government's covered policies of repeatedly drawn criticism from the labor party. one of its members told us the health when this is just trying to whitewash failures during the pandemic. whether it's an action or incompetent to the government policy throughout this and emmett 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 schoolboy whose dog has eaten his homework and he's blaming scientific claiming the public. anything but take responsibility for, for this himself. he's saying of p p he saying that they 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 the mock wearing prevented covered cases,

you have to ask you, so why would they coming out saying things that were so patiently wrong at the time? it's because they didn't have the p. p for the public. the video of an american father, daughter, joe, speaking out against an idea known as critical race theories gone viral on social media. it's made an ongoing debate in the us. so with a role of kind of approach to racial studies in education and politics, you're black or white or any doesn't matter if you're black and white. 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 have the video has been re posted to twitter or close to more than 2000000 views. the theory itself put forward 40 years ago. and

essentially suggests that racism is systemic within society. but it's been widely criticized along the way with many calling for a bio on his teaching in schools now for being divisive and damaging the students in the week mccully given a nail, spoke to the man behind that video. you. 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 board 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 is proof so divisive? i would say when you tell any group of people that their whole pressures, because of the color their skin and you tell the other group that they're all 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. i was part of a much slow conversation, but back to the present, it said 27 and a half minutes past the hour. thanks for watching our program. we are to international live for moscow. my name is kevin, and thank you for watching. gotten abrasive the afternoon and the farmer after that is which way of a good day?

oh, i don't know. i mean there's some fits in there were rescuing the food that they were scabbing or, or where were rescuing resources that are still good. this is best buy march 21st, which is in 2 days. all these potatoes, hall panels, onions, all of these came from waste round sources. this is great for me because i'm always looking for a way to give things away. dr. because the tax laws, you know, definitely do benefit the wealthier people in our society. so that makes sense for them to throw it out right off rather than give it to somebody who could use it, then that person is not going to buy it.

ah, the ah the the in the me

i don't welcome to world the party. i know, you know, we all know that the earth orbit fun, but this statement of fact wasn't always widely accepted for centuries ago. it was so controversial that the catholic church actually considered it a heresy. now, fast forward to the 21st century debate around extra terrestrials and you know, just a similar thing. those who hi positive side there exists and i feel treated as a prostate why song? both to discuss the i'm now joined by abby the professor of science at harvard university and author of extra terrestrial the 1st sign of intelligent life beyond the earth. now dr. low, it's so great to talk to you on such a fascinating subject. thank you very much for finding the time. thanks for hosting me. now, i have to say that harvard and extra terrestrial life.
