pat fiarty wall for russia. ah, good evening, you're watching out into national was start without breaking news because the u. s . government pays to have c c web domain. so a yeah, many tv channel and to rainy night, let's including it's k international broadcast at press tv. well, let's go to new york to try and find out more of the story and join keller. boffin correspondent there. good evening, kerry. what more do we know then at this point? well, at this point, the websites of the 3 media outlets have been seized by the us government. now, one of them is yamini and associated with the who's the group in yemen. the other 2 are iranian, and one of them is press tv, the english language tv network associated with the islamic republic of iran,
2:02 pm
the primary voice of iran to the english speaking world. and they have been seized . now if one goes to the website of prestige or the other 2 outlets, one will see a notice from the u. s. department of justice and the federal bureau of investigation. now that notice invokes us laws that allow criminal forfeiture of property that is alleged to be involved in quote, trafficking in nuclear, chemical, biological or radiological weapons, technology or material or the manufacturer, importation, sale or distribution of a controlled substance. and it specifically invokes an unusual or extraordinary threat and a declaration of national emergency by the president hinting that this seizure may have been done on direct orders from us president joe biden. but that is at this point, not clear, but if one visits the website of any of these 3 media outlets, one will see this. notice i in english and farsi from the u. s. department of justice and the f
2:03 pm
b i. now it's important to note the context as the biden administration that has taken off as in united states earlier this year has appeared to be open to renegotiating the iran nuclear deal. however, more recently we just had the elections in iran, where the candidate who was victorious was a candidate who is far more critical of the united states than his predecessor ro, honie. so the context may be interesting, but at the moment we're waiting for clarification about what exactly this move means. if, in fact this did come from the united states, if in fact it was ordered by joe biden. and what this means were also waiting for an official response from the islamic republic of iran. okay, well thanks for the update caleb zante keller. boffin reporting to his live there from new york. now the 1st have a transgender athletes will go to the olympics this year. several hubbard who's a white lift they will join us in stephen take here, but it has sparked anger from campaign is calling to save women's sports. and they
2:04 pm
say that her superior muscle mass is unfair competition. however, the olympic committee does say that she has met all the necessary criteria who transition to female. it's official new zealand. laurel hubbard. 43 who transition to female and 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 true. 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 am 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 guidelines for mail, born transgender athletes. they were allowed to compete without 1st having to
2:05 pm
undergo gender reassignment surgery as long as they provide tests showing cause 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
2:06 pm
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 new olympic reality have gone as far as blaming the i o. c for betraying women. the i o. c betrayed women. women are not a hormone level. know, are we self declaration or female gender identity?
2:07 pm
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 vamp lincoln 27 called the transgender athlete inclusion in tokyo, weightlifting light 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 lump at games. but i would like to take this opportunity to remind us all that are all has mit all of their quite criteria. and she's not the only one lawyer and trans woman, stephanie hayden says the, you'll see decision as well rooted in science. you've got support, you got governing body. they have access to science. they have access to data that you know what work for them. now, where a lot of people go wrong, if they just to shoot him that somebody in this case it was male borns. now
2:08 pm
transgender female doesn't change, doesn't. why did he, 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 prejudiced 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, frank, i will let if you want to share your opinion on this story. you can let us know what you think at arthur dot com. now the french presence received another slap in the face this time to his reputation after a shocking performance in regional elections, manju microns party, and he got around 10 percent of the vote. in the 1st round is charlotte davinsky.
2:09 pm
now reports seen as a dress rehearsal ahead of next day is presidential election from seas regional voters illustrating just how tough that battle ahead is going to be both manual macaroni and marine la pens. parties 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 say news. they're not going to minimize what has happened. it's a slap in the face. this is a democratic slap in the face, and it's due to a very low election turn out. i haven't looked at all t doesn't condone violence, but what happened to my policy has been particularly brutal in several regions.
2:10 pm
that policy, it was eliminated from the 2nd round of voting, offering failed to reach the 10 percent threshold needed the vote, even saw government ministers being knocked out. it's something of a surprise blow for my call. and this is personal popularity. the theme, the surgeon recent month, it also shows that his 2 products, which just took place, which was seen as him trying to sure up the boat to have 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 strategic. it's a vote against him for last year and 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
2:11 pm
worse than the 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 the 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 to 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 de politicized, but because they don't believe in the existing institution. we're also the point
2:12 pm
thing for maureen le pen polity has been hoping to show the say you would you risk and tended. well, over all the national riley took just on the face of the boat if need talk, the polls in one region, these results loc, as significant dropping support from 2015. the big win is from the 1st round of the voting would the republican party that is not good news for president mccall who has increasingly shifted his politics to the right. and essentially has been basing his 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 michael has failed to read his policy in the french. so i key, while many may see this is being a contest next year between mccolan pen,
2:13 pm
there is always a chance, an 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 ski aussie paris knife russia. it is exactly 80 years since the beginning of his bloody steerer grades patsy. arctic war, tens of millions of lives were lost in what was then the soviet union in the conflict with nazi germany and which is known in the west as the 2nd world war. will in the german newspaper interview. president putin dis, highlight high pay for the found reconciliation of the horrors of battle, and the supreme sacrifice should be acknowledged accurately. despite attempts today to revive the pages of the past, the truth is that soviet soldiers came to germany not to take revenge on the gym and people, but with a noble and great mission of liberation. having lived through the horrors of the
2:14 pm
world war, the peoples of europe would nevertheless able to overcome alienation and restore mutual trust and respect. what burden began, bob again emphasizing the, the unfathomable, terror, savagery and devastation of the 2nd world war operation. bob russo, the invasion of the u. s. a sob, but by not to germany, but booms pollutants. peach was that despite the terror, the horror of the 2nd world war, the europeans learned to respect each other. they learn to forgive each other, france, germany stablish, and v, the common steel market. then the, the common market, the european market, eventually that european union, they learned to cooperate rather than compete for resources for business. you cannot make prosperity, and this is something that it was who would happen when the u, as a saw collapse, that the east and west would forgive each other than they would lead past wrongs
2:15 pm
rest. and they would be progress. that would be prosperity. but it wasn't to be, it was the box movement eastwards which by the way, begun when the soviet leadership was actually persuaded to accept the united germany's session to nato, the tenant, the main reason for the rapid increase in mutual mistrust in europe. many countries are put before the artificial choice of either being with the collective west or with russia in fights. it was an ultimatum plugins. $999.00 that have been $55.00 natal expansions, eastern all of them eastwards towards russia. more nato rockets troops, me 1000 jets, moving closer and closer to russians would have given the devastation and the terror of the 2nd world war. tens of millions of people dead in the us. your memories is still fresh. nobody lives armed forces moving closer to the russian federation that you can, you can ask all manner of experts whose fault current situation is the disagreement
2:16 pm
between a need to and russia. but russia says that it was need to miss out, but moving close to it, not the other way around. and he says that the security framework of the european union has now afraid the whole system of european security is not degraded, significantly tension arising and the risks of a new arms race are becoming real. we are missing out from the tremendous opportunities that cooperation offers are common and indisputable goal is to ensure security on the continent without dividing lines. we hadn't heard about the dream of europe from lisbon to vladivostok in a while, but remarked than it again. he said, we can't let pass, grievances past disputes govern dictates our future. otherwise we give up. all hope of prosperity says, look, look at the past in your prosperity as always come out of cooperation of friendship . when people learn to work together rather than fights rather than struggling against each other. and here, let me put in again,
2:17 pm
called out saying that russia as it was, is ready to participate in a joint european security framework. little gaseous. there were hundreds, have attended memorial events held across russia. they gathered at 4 in the morning . in fact, the time when the war broke out. another early morning event took place in berlin to wear no history that performed in front of the russian height of science and culture, a balloon symbolizing the victims were released into the sky. washington also commemorated to the day with a memorial service, a rushes invoice, the u. s. he recently returned to his post was among those who came to pay respect . now, in a special project, here we are. we have restored and colorized to archive footage of peaceful life. a remorse. go back in 1941 and contrasted that to the star key, which is when war began. ah,
2:19 pm
ah . so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy. even plantation let it be an arms race is often very dramatic . development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk rather driven by dreamers shaped by those in me i
2:20 pm
think we dare to ask me ah ah, welcome back now and you have it very and who's causing alarm in india, the country already has 30000000 corona virus cases. so the infection rate has been declining. you strain that was called delta plus. and he said to circumvent the bodies immune system. although scientists to insist that at the moment it isn't a major cause for concern or top officials do say they are keeping a close eye on the strain which the world health organization has not yet officially recognized. well,
2:21 pm
the original delta vary produce was highest ever infection rates in india in april may come back then you day the cases did peek at around 400001 senior clinical lecturer, headaches to university medical in the u. k. does believe it is vital to suppress the new, very 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 advantages mistake 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,
2:22 pm
we will keep on getting variance. so we are where we are, and what we've got to do is suppress said wherever it occurs. meanwhile, tight rules for eating eggs are on the way here. moscow that off to city chase declared that only people proven to be carried with free will be allied in restaurants and cafes from next week is the capital does battle to curb a spike in cases with more details, his constancy roscoe, the most dramatic change. now concerns cafes and restaurants in the russian capital . so starting from june 28th a week from now, they won't let anyone in. he either hasn't been vaccinated, or hasn't had coven in the last 6 months and can prove the level of antibodies. now, if you don't want to get a covey jap for some reason, you can still dine in, but you need to show we negative p c r a task which is going to be valid only for 3 days. restaurants were told to get ready to check every incoming customer who must now must have a q r code,
2:23 pm
which in moscow you get if you have been vaccinated against go. but if the owners can't organize this, they will be forced to work for take away orders only earlier. moscow authority said that at least 60 percent of that was working in service sectors, including bars and restaurants must be vaccinated against corona virus which made the russian capital. the 1st cd in the world to introduce mandatory jap for certain groups. now. all in all they've goes to highlight how serious the situation is as local officials have to resort to drastic measures with the exclusive group and colleagues. 19 incidents and moscow new cases are up by almost 100 percent. all public events either in entertainment or sports that involve more than $500.00 visitors are now temporarily banned. the cap was 1000 a week ago, but they've decided to lower it even further. for instance, moscow has already shut down
2:24 pm
a band zone open for the ongoing european football championship. but the reason way out if the organizers of those events can covert free zone, similar to restaurants, which means they landed in only those who get vaccinated, who have enough anti bodies or negative coby task, then it's fine. but afford to get such system up and running. in a short space of time will be difficult. now, there are people in russia who oppose vaccination for various reasons. and now the question, if such measures are fair, the reality is that discrimination will eventually follow people without immunity or unvaccinated, won't be able to work anywhere. it's impossible, they will be a threat to other people. as for now, it looks like these harsh measures are starting to have the effect, hospitals out inoculation posed across the city have now had 4 or 5 falls increase
2:25 pm
in people who ready to roll up their sleeves. and according to the latest data, at least a quarter of moscow residence now have enough anti bodies to ride out this new wave . i mean, it's still not enough to achieve her immunity, but it's a radical boost say from last week. now russia has made an early exit from the year 2020 football tournament after a crushing for one defeat by denmark and copenhagen on monday, while belgium maintain their winning streak beating finland to nearly in st. petersburg, where the authorities do have the huge task of keeping funds safe from cobit, our schools correspondent alexi our ships. he has more now from russia's northern capital. russia 02020 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,
2:26 pm
belgium prevailed over here in saint petersburg. would you give them a chance to be in a playoff? depends on how other teams across all are the groups. obviously, fins and the belgians will be delighted in this piece of st. petersburg tonight today have been bringing great atmosphere to the event itself or not. but we have to say that this whole fi still 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 coffee cases has been quite rapid. over the past few weeks in st. peter's, but on monday, the numbers eclipse to 1000 new cases in one day. there are shortages of spaces for the new govern cases in some of the regular hospitals. new mobile hospitals have been unfurled by the governor of st. petersburg and 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
2:27 pm
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 that to me i am until 6 am in the morning. that's just one of the many measures that mr . beg of the governor has implemented, but we'll see whether the numbers will continue to rise. or maybe they hold out there, i even talks now that the 7th 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 electra reporting from st. petersburg over the weekend, heart wrenching scenes played out on the texan board with mexico, where around 200 separated families got
