3:00 pm
me the, the, me the me at yahoo is long range israeli leda comes to an end as parliament in the new streaming fragile coalition. also to come restoring contact and organizing direct dialogue. sedimentation shared his expectations to be upcoming summit with joe biden, also to have a review of the week to bring your presence and get slapped in the face bowl. a guessing up close and personal with a crowd is supposed to call in this type of from ah,
3:01 pm
the latest news and the look back. what's been happening to over the last 7 days? you're watching weekly here on our t international. benjamin? yes. in your he's 12 year rule, it is right, the leader is over half the parliament approved. and you government this evening. like when you have totally bennett from the you mean a party will become the head of state. his coalition consists of a factions, enough to give it the tiniest one, c majority, middle east, corresponding port slayer reports now from television. it was a very, very slim majority that voted in the news is way the prime minister and the new government. it was 60 in favor and $59.00, oppose, but that is enough to see the 12 year reign all the time. yahoo! come to an end. this is not usual. 36 government now. it has been met with applause and excitement in parts of the country. so in the past that have been lobbying against minturn, yahoo, and this is what we saw amongst the various different parties that came together to
3:02 pm
form the coalition, which comes from both the wind and the left and the center. they are very different on many different political issues, but they 50 have the same agenda when it comes to know more midtown, yahoo! the incoming prime minister is not to be been as he is the leader of the yamuna party. which means weiss at the party on the right of the political spectrum, but it's not going to be an easy time for him. he is seen as someone who has betrayed in loyal base and he was voted in with just 6 mandate out of a 120. meaning that you only had something like a 180000 people voting or him out of the entire israeli electric not been on the streets, talking to people who voted for bennett. they feel to call him that he stole the vote. and at the same time, you have people who are against and it's on yahoo and don't mind that. he joined
3:03 pm
the coalition just as long as miss on yahoo is out of power. or i think the vendor has gone too far by becoming prime minister. he's going to be a prime minister against all his principles, against all his opinions is about just not be, be there isn't anything else that brought these parties together. i think that someone was 6 or 7 mandates is not worthy of being prime minister of the country of israel. it's a very simple thing. the people have spoken letting you know received 30 mandates. he should be prime minister. that's what i think it is not fair, what they have done. we voted for someone and we got something completely different where our boats. i gave my boat to someone else. we have all given our boat and suddenly everything turned round and bennett was voted in regard to it, read from becoming a successor shape from becoming something we didn't want it from becoming something dark and dangerous. he's been a
3:04 pm
whole lot of the pick up for head. okay. now i have been trying to treat the facial parliament station, but he was constantly tickled. he was caught a liar, quite a few members of parliament were actually taken out by security forces disrupting the, the session itself. and the so he gives one a sense of just how difficult it is going to be for natalie bennett to try and bring people together to support this new coalition government. as for nathan, yahoo, he has promised that he will not be silenced. he says that the length of his will be, in other words, the right wing parties will not be silent. and at the same time, he's coach bennett the greatest ford in israeli history. so natalie bennett has his work cut out for him,
3:05 pm
but he is sending an benjamin netanyahu to the opposition way. he'll now become the leader of the opposition. and let me just mention that he has been in this position twice before and managed to come from the lead of the opposition to become prime minister as well. so that is something that might warn people that it's perhaps a little too early to completely blank him out of the history books. okay, well we can get more reaction now from telephone because that we can speak to danny island. he's a former israeli ambassador to the united states and as always, you very welcome. thanks for coming on, danny. do you think relation can last at all given it's very slim majority. well, that depends on 2 things. first of all, as long as natasha now is the head of the opposition. this is a very powerful force or glue that keeps them together. because their main agenda was anti e. b b,
3:06 pm
that was it. they said he was to log in our each time for change. and you know, like lord acton said, that power corrupts. he was there for too long, and that was a powerful message. however, a b, r is you mentioned a different parties. they have not much in common. yes i right. you are. they have unprecedented arab is ready already in the, in the government. so they mentioned is no, no, there are glue and there is another thing which is they are very vulnerable if there is an election now. and then most of those parties will not be reelected. and this is what will motivate them to continue as much as long as possible and to come away with some kind of achievement in the country. so they can show something to the voters. and that could happen all the 34
3:07 pm
years from now. so this may be again, a motivation to keep the party together, government and get certain self preservation as you sort of describing that keeps them together. but in terms of what they can achieve together, i mean, what could they, given that they have such a vast range of views on so many things? well, i can tell you what they cannot, you know, progress with the palestinians. and they're pretty much all the parties agreed to keep the status cool and then mainly to, to, to concentrate on domestic issues the economy, you know, moving out of the corona going back, bringing back growth and balanced budget. these are the main things that they are going to to do with social issues in the country with very much polarized under to
3:08 pm
now. so now they're going, they call themselves healing a government, a national, a unity government because there's so many other parties. and again, it's going to be very interesting to see the dynamics within the code where the baby will continue to keep the power there, or whether they will be some kinds of rebels trying to unseating and have a new leader for the party in terms of domestic policy g feel a little they will have all this coalition will have a calming influence on the country because some people are thinking that you know, potentially this could stoke up arabs. right. the tensions once more given that bennett is in charge. yeah. but i think the chances were cap, how many they the situation is higher than not because specifically because of the ira party,
3:09 pm
which is part of the coalition. and part of the demands of the wedding party was to really find a lot of resources in the budget towards the, the arabic community, which most of the periphery. so in terms of education and jobs and that, and roads and things like that, they will be able to bring up the standard of living of these ready arabs. that would be also a motivation for them to continue and to come down here. and in terms of foreign policy, would you expect any change there? was that something that everybody seems to agree on? well, i would say that the one thing that everybody agreed on iran and here natalie bennett and all the coalition members are, they said again maybe newly arrived agreement
3:10 pm
in vienna with the iranians. they will speak to the americans very much against it. but i think that here, there will be a changing style where it's and you know, was able and willing to challenge the american ministration publicly. here, i think they will be more careful so they will work behind the scenes. and if indeed, there is an agreement against that we should room, they will do 2 things. first of all, they will work on what they call an commendation or compensation. the package where the united states will supply is where many arms that they can better defend itself. and at the same time, they will try to cement the risk. they've been newly arranged
3:11 pm
relationship with the arab countries in the gulf main. you saudi arabia, terrain or mine. of course, the interests that would be the 2 things that the 2 cards that they have their sleep. i can very interesting let danny. we're going to leave it there but great. have your insight this evening that was done, the island, a former is ready ambassador to the united states. thank you. thank you. nice restore contacts and organized direct dialogue for russia's president says he expects from the upcoming summit with his us came to part putin gave his thoughts in an interview with russian tv. but our correspondent haley per franca gave more details to call him back. while this time mister pool, who was quite specific about the things that he is intending to bring up in geneva when he meets joe biden. and 1st of all, the russian leader mentioned global security. this is
3:12 pm
a very important issue. mister poking pointed out moscow's concerns when it comes to ne toes missile defense systems that are close to the rushing borders. 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 lies about the possible deployment of all kinds of combat systems. their missile strike and so on. i have already mentioned poland and romania missile defense systems are already being deployed there and strikes 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. lot of people said that he hope that the summit could at least create the conditions for a proper and fair discussion on these matters. now, the russian leader also went on to explain why the hopes are there. he praised
3:13 pm
the joe biden administration for responsible approach, at least in one aspect. vladimir putin reminded of one of the 1st international decisions that was made by joe biden and the white house that is per loaning the new star treaty between washington and moscow, which is referred to as the last remaining pillar of nuclear arms control. the new administration led by president biden extended the nustar treaty at 1st step. 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. of course, president putin also touched on cybersecurity, which is one of the more headline grabbing dance in the us, russia policies at the moment. how did he elaborate on that? well, what is global security without cybersecurity? that's also something major that is going to be on the table according to the
3:14 pm
russian leader. cyber attacks on entire infrastructure and industrial cities could lead to very serious consequences. and the russian president here was clearly referring to recent cyber attacks on us infrastructure. and while the kremlin maintains that russia had nothing to do with these attacks, the russian side really wants some kind of bilateral agreement to be hammered out in this field to introduce some kind of rules. and to make sure that it's all kept under control, by the way, back in 2013, that work had already begun. but what happened next? ukraine, accusations of russian hackers influencing the us election and the work was scrapped not by the russian side by the west side. so now moscow, once this work to be resumed, 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
3:15 pm
majority of cases are equal. both parties share the same commitment. if we agree to extra criminals, then russia will do it, but only if the united states agreed to expedite criminals to the russian federation as well. the closer we get to the summit in geneva, on june 16th, the more we find out about the things that are going to be discussed possibly will hear about something else maybe from the biden administration next. the french president got a nasty shock on tuesday while on a visit to the side of the country, where he was trying to drum up support for his re election campaign. monument crone walked up to a barrier to greet locals. but this is what happened next. the 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 that's the story
3:16 pm
that you present mike on exits the hotel school where he's been at taking a visit. he walks 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 grabbed back president miko before administering that mighty slap. the security agency immediately intervened in 2 individuals were taken into custody for wilful violence against the person holding public authority. 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 revolt and unauthorized process earlier in the day. but the reality is what this is shown is that there is still an under current presentment. again, president michael and his policies. those have been passed. the reforms as well as
3:17 pm
those he's attempt to, to pass to the front. and i bet housing is managed to do so. always hot water them down slightly. there's been a huge reaction hearing from including coming from the government, the prime minister showing cast dex saying that this was an attack on democracy. they because she was on it plus your said that or the 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're all concerned. it is the foundations of our democracy through the head of state. it is democracy that is targeted also, we've heard from political policies 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,
3:18 pm
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, my call is currently on the to the from says it's been cold, he's taking the temperature, testing it to see whether or not he should be running in 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. 6 to see more of that resentment coming through, john and vince give reporting there will the 28 year old who are slapped macro will sentence to 4 months in jail with an additional 14 month suspended sentence. the 2nd person arrested their 2 who filmed the incident. also faces prosecution for legally possessing weapons which the authorities later found at his home. now at
3:19 pm
the same time, that slap episode provoked an avalanche of jokes means online with twitter in particular saying political character chose walking the leader a colon. this said his macro, though, who's been slapping the french people in the face. we quite believe this is where emanuel microns power lies. in other words, it's the ultra personalized and centralized power of the presidents. 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 then a sense of 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 get intends
3:20 pm
to return to considering pension reforms. he always has some unpleasant remark and he's off. no, 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 us still to come on in the week from the us state department demand that nigeria refers to expand on twitter while the social networks and since its own uses. we'll have a look at the story to stop. i was sanction, rarely were rarely working maybe a week, maybe a month. but the world always figures a way to get around the site. whether it's whatever it is that's was anxious, don't work. politicians get publicity, and they say see,
3:21 pm
3:22 pm
welcome back to the weekly now the us state department, along with some west and diplomatic missions, is called on the jury, is government to reverse its decision to ban twitter. it also condemned threats to arrest, uses lagos out ruled the social network saying it is persistently used to undermine the country's existence. it comes after the platform deleted, opposed by the countries president, which warned national separatists have consequences unless they relent. but while twitter claims that a free and open internet is an essential human right, it does appear to operate according to a different set of principles elsewhere. she goes down of exploits the free speech wing of the free speech parking. 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,
3:23 pm
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 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 twitter moderator may not be able to find nigeria on the map. 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. when people, one morning politicians are going to police way and a jury duty and us for today. it was about the right to protest. what a similar to happened when the capital he became you selection. what are going to be formed by anybody where
3:24 pm
have gone to room? i will do for the best of my ability. twitter wasn't ready for that and it is hard to judge them for it. they had already successfully band one of the most powerful men in the world and got away with that 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 is an essential human right 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 ban caught the eye of some politicians who condemned it. diplomatic missions of canada, the european union, the republic of ireland,
3:25 pm
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, 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 officials 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
3:26 pm
a lesson in how to deal with big tech tyranny. twitter has no business deciding on what geo political failures have to say about anything because they're not. they're not informed enough to do so. they're 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 her twitter is political power. now
3:27 pm
a video have an american father and daughter speaking out against an idea known as critical race theory. went viral on social media this week. it is a, made an ongoing debate in the u. s. over the role of this approach to racial studies and education, and also politics. you're black or white or any, as a matter if you're black, why? brown? yeah. right. black in how we treat people is based on who they are and if they're in 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, that video there has been re posted to twist, which it will where it's clocked up more than 2000000 views to the theory itself was put forward 40 years ago and essentially suggests that racism is systemic within society. but it's been widely criticized with many calling for ban on its
3:28 pm
teaching in schools for being divisive and also damaging to students. my colleague niel spoke to the man behind the video. 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 that they are. how would you describe corey, why critical race theory as proof? so devices 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'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
3:29 pm
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 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. much in the weekly here are not international that's i things are looking. don't forget, we've got a website for the stories too. and you can find that at article the as a korea professional sport is much tougher on some than others. she was
3:30 pm
a year old myer by everybody. so why would somebody believe me, i was just a little girl. the price paid to to, to achieve that really was was how to read in the paper this morning. usa swimming coach, arrested, allegedly had sex with a 12 year old girl. this happens almost every week. we get calls of the office, i get informed about. one of my greatest fears is someone is going to start linking all this together. there's going to be a 60 minute documentary about youth coaches in sports like gymnastics swimming. is that documentary? i see it on r t. i actually don't want any be able to hand. yeah, of course. oh.
