ah ah ah, in the headlines this morning, campaign is to keep the female sports law show to the decision to include the 1st of a female transgender athlete in the middle. it's a bit trail of women. another slap in the face of president mac crohn as his political party flops in french regional l. polls the long term protest, scott, who is police in london made those extended cobra destructions there while the

number of cases continues to rise to in england. ah, good morning, russia cover though, and here with a headline, please tomatti this tuesday, the 22nd of june. first than you had in the headlines, the 1st ever transgender athlete is said to go to the lympics this year. laurel hubbard, wait list, it will join new zealand team in tokyo, but it's spot theory from various campaigns to save women in sports that point out that her muscle mass is unfair. competition olympic committee though, says she's met all the necessary criteria, picking up on the debate in put try and reporting next, when its official new zealand. laurel hubbard, 43, who transition to female in 2012 is heading to the olympics this summer. no transgender athletes have ever done it before. for laurel,

there's absolutely no doubt it is a dream come troop. when the camera zoom in on her and her team at the olympics, opening ceremony in tokyo, it will be a touching moment for the whole community of transgender athletes. i'm grateful and humbled by the kindness and support that has been given to me by so many new zealanders. just before the previous summer games kicked off, the international committee revamped its guideline for male born transgender athletes. they were allowed to compete without 1st having to undergo gender reassignment surgery as long as they provide tests, showing because fester own levels within a set limit for 12 months. 5 years on news of laurel joining, the ranks of the n v t may be joy for some, but it stands out as shockingly unfair to others. we've heard noises in the media that the, i say are going to be revising their transgender inclusion guidelines and possibly

even removing the testosterone requirement. so obviously that will then allow men to compete in the same category are nothing more than a self declaration. and i don't think, you know, anyone could say that that would be grossly unfair and set a completely unfair competition playing field for women. and perhaps it wouldn't have been so controversial if it wasn't for the nature of the sport. she's competing in the right. in weight lifting every gram of muscle mass matters, maybe, and this sport more than in any other last year. a study by you can sweetest scientists found that when it comes to lifting barbells, the male performance advantage over woman was 30 percent. however, even when transgender women suppress this test her own, for a year,

the loss of lean body, mass, muscle, and strength, was only 5 percent. it's also a fact that laurel hubbard hadn't competed internationally before transitioning, but has already won a number of battles as a female athlete. and so some critics of the newland big reality have gone as far as blaming the i o. c for betraying women. the i o c betrays women, women are not a hormone level. know, are we self declaration of a female gender identity? shame on them. and speaking of those whose desired podium finishes could be lost or lowered because of lorell hubbard's performance. belgium's anna vibe, lincoln 27 called the transgender athlete inclusion in the tokyo weight, lifting line up. a bad joke with all due respect to trans genders. olympic officials, though, have defended the decision. we do know that there are many questions about fairness of transient athletes competing in the games. but i would like to take this

opportunity to remind us all that are all has mit all of the required criteria. and she's not the only one lawyer and trance woman stephanie hayden says the c decision is well rooted in science. you've got a sport, you got opening body, they have access to science there of access to data. they know what work for them now, where a lot of people go wrong if they just assume that somebody in this case who was male borns, now transgender female doesn't change. and i think, why do they forget to take into account hormone levels reduction in muscle mass over many years. now, what do we do here? do we make evidence based decisions, or do we make prejudice based decisions? that is the simple question. oh,

well probably there's never going to be an easy solution to this and do expect more debate, the closer we get to the metal run off. we had so can, which we'd love to know what you think in case you want to share your opinion on this. why don't do it on our site. t dot com a such a sports pushing for more so called a quality u. k. school. did she traditional title for students more inclusive ones these days more or something? this dividing society more and more to full story on that we'll be talking about it in a few minutes present. mccrory frances received yet another slap in the face. what this time? one to his reputation for a full showing and regional polls across the country, his policy only got it around 10 percent of the vote in the 1st round shall do been sky reports them seen as a dress rehearsal ahead of next presidential election from seas regional voters illustrating just how tough that battle ahead is going to be both manual macro and,

and marine pens, policies failed to show that they, with a heavy hitters for my calls republic, on the move coffee, the results were particularly bruising. even party inside is can't deny how bad they sees. i'm not going to minimize what has happened. it's a slap in the face. this is a democratic slap in the face. and it will you to a very low election turn out every all t doesn't condone violence, but what happened to my policy has been particularly brutal in several regions. that policy was eliminated from the 2nd round of voting offered fail to reach the 10 percent threshold needed the vote, even saw government ministers being knocked out. it's something of a surprise blue for my call and this is personal popularity. the theme,

the surgeon recent month, it also shows that his tooth bronze, which just took place, which was seen as him trying to sure up the boat to head to the election. didn't succeed. so roy has his policy failed to connect with voters. it shows even he is even not much more unpopular that it was supposed to because he's, results are, are, does it say vote against him for last year a lot of misconduct and that was shown by the yellow as movement on by the fact that the government didn't react to do all the situation is going worst and worst. and the only way to government behave with our organ. and you know, i mean people don't like our own goods. so day it shows that government is complete

and macro and basically completely disconnected with the whole society who all record the tension levels off sending premises through the political landscape more than 2 in 3 people didn't cost a ballot that shows b, b don't believe any more in political class, you have striking workers who birds collectively there and an extra cars. so now you have a lot of people showing they don't vote, they don't want to vote. they don't believe in any political party in any political liter. people don't vote, not because they are the police decide, but because they don't believe in the existing institution. we're also the point thing for marine pen policy has been hoping to show the thing you would be you can handle while over all the national radi took just on the face of the vote. it took

the polls in one region, these results loc, as significant drop in support from 2015. so she didn't sound herself policy. president le pen urge boot is to do that. duty should give us the female hope was all those who want to express their opposition to the actions of this government, which is leading the country into chaos. have a duty to react. if you on things to change, you might vote if you did not both your i, this was your voice, does not count to prove the big win is from the 1st round of voting would the republican party that is not good news for president my call. who has increasingly shifted his politics to the right and essentially has been basing a strategy for reelection next year or more thing up. the very it is a revival of the republican party throws that up in the air and shows that my call

has failed to reach his policy in the french. so i keyed now while the regional bugs are not regarded as indicators. when next day's elections, they do bring sharply into focus, but the outcome is not a foregone conclusion. while many may see this as being a context next year between mccolan pen, there is always the chance in outside i could punch seriously above that weight. one perhaps increased by the fact that the current president's party just doesn't seem to cut it with voters. charlotte, even sky r c. paris. and he, coby, protested london, a furious after government delayed and easing covered restrictions. now until july, the 19th, as the number of cases is increased 31 percent compared to last week. so a large riley in london has started peacefully ended. it was 3 police officers injured and 14 people being arrested. the

world today was supposed to be freedom day here in the united kingdom, but in the heart of central london, it seems to be anything. but often month to month upon this as far as joseph was hailing through the 21st. as the day said, old 19 restrictions would be lifted, but just last week he had no say 4 weeks delay freedom day. many people here in central london absolutely furious. the poses a prison sentence will be extended even longer so much. so we've even witnessed between the protests today and the police the most in a process, a chanting freedom and shame on you is they believe that the government is trying to control them. now you're never going to get. you're not locked into law

locked down. come in, christmas not don't come in, it's spring all day. it's only show on the website one comment. but by the time in month vaccinate the 1st $15000000.00 most that read, that would be break. and then the movie again until april. and then if the 1000000 and then if i'm wrong or you know that bobby said that no matter what 21st to june would be great. great. so now the due date for the diary is july, the 19th that's the day the course johnson hope to list all of these are quite a bit of restriction, but it also came as a warning from the prime minister, the doing so any soon us could result in thousands of people dying instead, there's a huge focus on i'm thing up that vaccination or program hoping all adults will be off of the vaccine by that day. needless to say,

many people here that all testing throughout the day will probably decline, not invitation because they all do it. it's got a lot to do with population control. now as we know, the government has always said that the policy would be guided by the data i know the date, but there's certainly mixed messages coming from government, especially considering the fund typically by the to the government has said that the u. k. would be living with private 19 forever. so many people have protesting. today i'll worried whether or not there's lockdown will last forever run. sure. and pretty much doubtful. so the government can really stick to this new freedom day off to die. the 19, remember bars, johnson has always said that this lockdown would be the very last of the people here today. they said they don't even believe they should have been one of the last 3. in the meantime, in india or a new cobit varied, is causing a more alarm in the country, which already has 30000000 cases to spot

a steady decline in numbers. the new strain called delta plus and it said to be circumventing the body's immune system. although scientists riding to that right now, at least it's not a major cause for concern. some health officials, they say the new version appears to be weaker than its predecessor, but they keep close on it. while the household is ation hasn't yet officially recognized the new strain. the original del, very highest ever infection rates in india in april or may. it brought daily new cases to 400000 every day. back then one senior clinical lecture at the university of exit. his medical school believes it's vital to, to suppress any of these new varies the natural biology of viruses is that they replicate. and when they replicate, they make mistakes, and sometimes those mistakes are advantages to the virus. and that advantage is steak becomes the new delta virus, for example,

and then it takes hold and it spreads across the globe. we always have a cautious approach to variance. variance will always arise, and in fact, the emergence of variance is a clear signal to the rest of the world, especially to the richer nations that unless and until you allow and support poor countries to suppress infections, we will keep one getting variance. so we are where we are, and what we've got to do is suppress said wherever it occurs for usher, it's exactly 80 years since the beginning of one of its bloodiest errors. the great pat realty was known in the west of the 2nd world war, tens of millions of lives were lost in what was then the soviet union, in the conflict with nazi germany, memorial events called a candle of remembrance, were held across russia. here for a time when war broke out, another took place in washington to with more expected in europe. later the russian

of us this of the u. s. a reason to return to his posters among those who came to pay their respects at an especial project are now to weave restored and colorized footage of peaceful life era. moscow back in 1941. and then blended with images from when was struck ah, ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah,

ah ah ah, join me every 1st day on the alec salmon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics, sport, business and show business. i'll see you then me driven by drink shaped by those in

me dares thing. we dare to ask me. ah, wireless ball sharpie. and they're looking for something like mark cameron and he falls right into it. because as i've said on this show and other shows for over a year, now narcissism in big point don't make the rushes made nearly exit them from the euro. 2020 football tournament after a crushing for one defeat by denmark in copenhagen on monday. well,

competition favors, belgium maintain their winning streak beating fiddle. and to nail in st. petersburg were authorities, as well as a lot of got a huge tiles, could keep in find the safe from coven still sees electro shasky spoke to us from russia's northern capital. russia, year or 2020 campaign comes to an early stop. the heavy defeat in the hands of denmark, in short, russia would not even have a chance to be in the play off round during this tournament. in the meantime, belgium prevailed over philip. here in saint petersburg, would you give him a chance to be in a playoff? depends on how other teams fire across all other groups. obviously, fins and the belgians will be delighted in the suite of st. petersburg. tonight. they have been bringing great atmosphere to the events of the north, but we have to say that this whole fi, so football here in saint petersburg has come with somewhat of a bitter pill because of a new anti cove. it measures, in fact the spike in the new carpet cases has been quite rapid over the past few

weeks, st. peter's, but on monday, the numbers eclipse, the 1000 new cases in one day. a there are shortages of spaces for the new covered cases in some of the regular hospitals. new mobile hospitals have been unfurled by the governor of st. petersburg, letting rod region. and also he implemented new measures here in the found zone, where used to be always jolly and fun. you cannot even buy food. that's one of the new anti corporate masses implemented by the governor, believing that sales of food here in the found zone might contribute to the spread of the virus. also all bars and restaurants. i now have to close their doors at 2 am until 6 am in the morning. and that's just one of the many messages that mr. beg, a lot of the government has implemented, but we'll see whether the numbers will continue to rise. or maybe they fold out their i even talks now that's the 7 game and st. petersburg,

which is the quarter final on the 2nd of july could be moved elsewhere. the situation of course, is quite unpleasant, but maybe not as unpleasant as for the fans of the russian team who will now have to wait until the world cup and see that team actually had a big thorn and alexi recess. the report thing from st. petersburg is the western world news, or more towards being non binary, one prestigious. you can go schools looking to replace the title, head girl. that is something more inclusive. the initiative for the change was brought forward by the people themselves and date a st. paul girl's school spokesperson explained the move in an official statement. it was the suggestion of our senior students that we changed the name from head go to head of school as more modern age appropriate and inclusive from 19 o 4. and for decades afterwards, the senior student was called head of the school. so in making the change, we are confirming not denying our ethos and traditions. and that's not the example

by 1st, several scottish schools are also teaching their titles of head boys and girls, and replacing with school captains in the time to gain approval from an l. g. b t friendly charity, but a christian institute spokesperson condemned the schools had teachers for what they described as caving to wo career the ologies, while sacrificing traditions, we put the whole thing up for debate. education is no longer in the dark ages to syrian times. you know, i think we have to be respectful and inclusive, and there are many, $1.00 percentage of our population is non binary or interest that so gender do it. there's nothing wrong with cooling. the head pupil. it's supposed go school had go, and maybe the head pupil at the boys. boys, school, the head boy. what. what is the problem? what to suggest that the head head pupil can be called the head go use of course. i mean, the why not the head go what's true? and also we have to understand that the human species is bodily divided between

male and female. when male and female come together, they generate babies that become more of a human species. so we can't go into denial about these fundamentals either just astonished at you are required to think that i'm in the hold of the animal kingdom isn't non also also known binary and intersect. i'm a mass for di, lots of these people feel so isolated and lowly that they actually killed him. so, i mean, really we need to not should the young and the how them bring out the very best i feel we must have a respect to the individual. but also you have to have a realistic understanding about how we individual come into existence and how all existence will continue. and males and females will be needed to continue that existence. and also it is. we got to pause go school,

boys, go to school. if you want to put them all together, i think that we have to listen to the young people and they will teach. the old folk is who skills dock in many evil educational roles. i think that we've got to listen to young people and we've got to be respectful to the whole about 5 years of all of our society. not just say you can either be this polarized station male or this polarization female. because there's a whole huge world in between, and those people in between will be contributing and valuable to our society. so we need to recognize them, respect and support the europe ramping up sanctions on barrows, over the diversion of that passenger plan. months ago and they arrested 2 passengers on board, the financing asset freezes and travel bands. the, you know, promising to go step further targeting entire sectors of the ocean economy. when

russia government and these are going to hurt. we've heard the economy viet and we will no longer just sanction individuals. we will now also impose sexual sanctions. we will now address the economic, local protect room for the income that we want to ensure that the regime runs dry financial in the opinion. and then saturday, 86 more individuals and entities to a new black list, which has also been approved by the u. s. the u. k. and canada. and the next step will be to target key export industries with the goal of trying to block the flow of funds to the location. could government, if approve those taxes are going to include oil and fertilizers? no, they're both crucial sources of hard currency. for better routes. it follows a way of indignation from european leaders over the ryan air incident in late may. that plane at the time was on its way from greece to lithuania when it was forced

to land immense, go over a host bomb threat on board 2 passengers, the editor of a battle russian opposition. telegram channel, suspected of involvement and organizing mass, anti government protest, and this russian girlfriend were removed from the croft and arrested, but rush around las martin mccauley. things further sanctions now could have a daughter effect on ordinary citizens in barrows is quite like shortly statement from, from the european union and west saying they want to actually collapse the economy because that was the average person. and they were civil shortages are present in billers, of course. and pleasures of origin and living centers have dropped so that the situation will become even worse. i think there's some people in the west who believe that if the economy collapses and the country then moreland falls apart. this will then lead to president, look shank of disappearing. and somebody else taking over with the risk is that you

in fact, get a military dictatorship and somebody the military would come in and you would have a military leader. and he would be very hard lined. indeed. not sure what we're talking about the tuesday morning and in russia, if you want to see so much more from us, we'll have your side of those stories. as we mentioned earlier on, go to. so r t dot com site or check out any of our social media. but for now, if you watch the clock is just after 28 past the i have a great day for me. kevin, though, in the rest of the team here at out to international ah, ah,

ah, me. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is on, often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk a me ah ah

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
