re read a dime, a field trip tomorrow. jack in a re a vision she me ah, the website. so, but yeah, many and iranian media including it too wrong flagship press tv are seized by the u . s. government along with a palestinian new site. at least that's according to statements on their pages. often come campaigners lash out at the so called unfair infusion of the 1st ever transgender athletes at a female event at the olympic spending of a betrayal of women. but another slap in the face for president micron as his party flops in french regional election. and the world must choose unity over division and hatred says president, present on the 80th anniversary of the start of the great re throughout it.

i are brought to live the rec, my studios in moscow. this is our international john thomas, certainly glad to have you. with the u. s. government apparently sees the websites of a yet many broadcaster to iranian outlets, including its key international channel, press tv and a palestinian new site. that's according to a statement that now appears on those pages, actually kill him up. and as more at the moment, we do not yet have clarification from the u. s. government about whether in fact they did take this action. the state department has indicated that the department of justice will give information later regarding this situation. but if one goes to the website, one will find a statement from the department of justice and the f. b i with their official seals

saying that the website was seized. now it, what's interesting to note is that while iran is a country that speaks the language of farsi, this statement is on the website in english and arabic, but not far as the the iranian language. it's important to take the context into accounts. now we have joe biden and his administration that have been in office since earlier this year that have talked about reopening the iran nuclear deal, criticize the trump administration handling of us relations with iran. but we've just had an election in iran itself in which we have a new president who is quite critical of his predecessor ronnie and his negotiations with the united states. so we have a new administration set to come into office in iran. we have a new administration united states and the contacts in the moment of this is quite interesting. now, one of the websites that was seized is run by the who's easy that is fighting against saudi arabia, and has long been accused by the united states being iranian proxies. the other

website that was seized is of iranian origin, and the other website press tv is that is that iran's official english language news outlet, the primary voice of iran to the english speaking world. now their website is available at press t, v dot i are, but it is press t v dot com that has this message about being c. so we are waiting for clarification from the u. s. department of justice. we're also waiting to hear any statement from the islamic republic of iran at the moment. these 3 websites bear this. notice i'm not clear yet what has gone on. could this be the work of hackers? could this actually be an official move from the u. s. government could this indeed have been ordered directly from joe biden, as the statement of the website seems to hand. we don't yet know. honda, most savvy professor of political science at the university of tehran, says washington can have no justification if it is indeed behind the moves. we have

to remember that even if the laws that are being cited in the actual announcement on the web page, even if the reason cited would be in the gym in which actually isn't. we have to remember that the, these are us internal laws and apps. what you would be ridiculous to sees an international new size based on domestic us thought. it's like the other situation would be, i pathetically, if iran would come and see the c n n news website, based on internal uranium laws. it doesn't really make sense. and i think it's a clear violation of hugh freedom of expression the 1st to ever trans gender athlete will go to the olympics this year. laurel hubbard, who has a weight lifter, will join new zealand team in tokyo, but it has sparked anger from campaigners calling to save

a women's sports. and they say that her superior muscle mass is unfair competition . however, the limpid committee says that she has met all the necessary criteria are usually patricia picks up the story for us. 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 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 cause fester all 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 that 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 new olympic reality have gone as far as blaming b. 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 vin lincoln 27 called the transgender athlete inclusion in the 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 games. but i would like to take this opportunity to remind us all that are all has met all of the required criteria. and she's not the only one lawyer and trance woman stephanie hayden says the seas decision is well rooted in science. you've got sport, you've got opening body, they have access to sign their access to data, go, you know what work for them. now, where a, lots 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 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 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 . and if you want to share your opinion on the story, you can let us know what you think that r t dot com the friendship president has received another slap in the face this time to his reputation after a shocking performance and regional elections, a manual microns party only got around 10 percent of the vote in the 1st round. as our chief charlotte davinsky 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 macro and, and marine. the pens, policies failed to show that they were the heavy hitters for my calls republic on the move policy, the results were particularly bruising. even policy inside is can't deny how bad this is 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. all t doesn't condone violence, but what happened to mccord's policy has been particularly brutal in several regions. that party, it was eliminated from the 2nd round of voting offered fail to reach the 10 percent

threshold needed the vote even for 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 tool, the products, which just took place, which was seen as him trying to sure up the boat to have the election, didn't succeed. so why has his policy failed to connect with voters? it shows it's even he, it even not much more unpopular that it was supposed to because his results are, are catastrophe g. it's a 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 new ways to government behave with our organs and you

know, new people like our goods. so day it shows the government is complete and micro, especially completely disconnected with the whole society who are rec, or the bench and levels off sending premises to 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 bird, collectively, 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 deeply decide, but because they don't believe in the existing institution. we're also

disappointing for marine pen policy had been hoping to show the thing you would be you can handle while over rule the national radi took just on the face of the vote . it took the polls in one region and these results look a significant drop in support from 2015. the big win is from the 1st round of voting would the republican party that is not good news for president mike calling, who has increasingly shifted his politics to the right. and essentially has been basing its strategy for reelection next year or moving 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 context next year between mccolan pen, there is always a challenge and outside i could punch seriously above 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, or teen parents for russia, it is exactly 80 years since the beginning of its bloodiest era, the great patriotic war, tens of millions of lives were lost when nazi germany invaded. what was then the soviet union in a german newspaper interview? president putin highlights how people have found reconciliation after the horrors of battle, and that their supreme sacrifice should be acknowledged to 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 german people, but with a noble and great mission of liberation. having lived through the horrors of the 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. barbarossa, the invasion of. 3 the u. s. a sob, but by not to germany, but prudence prudence peach was the 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 stablished the common steel mug than the, the common market, the european market. eventually that european union, they learned to cooperate rather than compete for resources for business, for economic prosperity. and this is something that it was who would happen when you as a sa collapse, that the east and west would forgive each other than they would lead past wrongs rest. and they would be progress. that would be prosperity. but it wasn't to be,

it was a box movement eastwards which by the way, begun when the soviet leadership was actually persuaded to accept the united germany's session to nate. so the tenant, the main reason for the rapid increase in mutual mistrust in europe. many countries are port before the artificial choice of either being with a collective west or with russia in fights. it was an ultimatum. in $999.00 that have been $55.00 natal expansions, each put all of them eastwards towards russia. more nato rockets, troops, me solves jets, moving closer and closer to russia's borders, have given the devastation and the terror of the 2nd world war. tens of millions of people dead in the u. s. a saw memories is still fresh. nobody lives on foods is moving closer to the russian federation. and you can ask, well manner of experts whose fault current situation is the disagreement between a need to and russia. but russia says that it was need to miss opposite of moving close to it, not the other way around. and here vladimir putin says,

the security framework of the european union has now frayed the whole system of european security is now degraded. significantly, tensions are rising 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 a europe from lisbon to vladivostok in a while, but remarked on it again. he said, we can't let pass, grievances passed, 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 as of cooperation. the friendship when people learn to work together rather than fights rather than struggling against each other. and hear like movement again, called out saying that russia as it was, is ready to participate in a joint european security framework. hundreds have attended memorial

events across russia. they gathered at 4 in the morning the time when the war broke out. another early morning events took place in berlin, where an orchestra performed in front of the russian house of science and culture. balloons symbolizing the victims were released into the sky. washington also, maria commemorated the day with a memorial service. rushes envoy to the u. s. recently returned to his post was among those who came to pay respect in a special project. here at r t. we have restored and colorized archive footage of peaceful life. here in moscow, back in 1941. in contrast that to the starkey images when war began. ah ah ah ah

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, in a new coven variant is causing alarm in india in the country already has 30000000 current virus

cases. though the infection rate has been declining, the new strain is called delta plus and is said to circumvent the body's immune system. the scientists insist that at the moment it is not a major cause for concern. down top officials say that they are keeping a close watch on the strain which the world health organization has not yet officially recognized the original delta variance produced and the world's highest ever infection rates in india in april and may and back and then new daily cases peak at around 400000. our senior clinical lecturer at exeter university's medical school in the u. k. believe it is vital to suppress the new variance. 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 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, we will keep on getting bearings. so we are where we are, and what we've got to do is suppress said wherever it occurs, tighter rules for eating out our on the way in moscow that after city chief declared that only people proven to be covered free will be allowed in restaurants and cafes. from next week, as the capital battles to curb a spike in pieces with more details, here's our cheese consumption rosco. 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 who either hasn't been vaccinated or hasn't had covered in the last 6 months and can prove the level of antibodies. now if you don't want to get a cobra 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, 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 takeaway orders only. earlier. moscow authorities 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 rushing capital. the 1st cd in the world to introduce mandatory jap for certain groups now, all and all that goes to highlight how serious the situation is as local officials

have to resort to drastic measures with exclusive grows and comic 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 a band zone open for the ongoing european football championship. but the reason way out if the organizers of those events can may cove, it free zone, similar to restaurants, which means they let it in only those who get vaccinated who have enough antibodies or negative. coby test them, it's fine. but of course, 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 fact. hospitals out inoculation post across the city have now had 4 or 5 fault increase 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 . and i mean, it's still not enough to achieve heard immunity, but it's a radical boost say from last week over the weekend, heart wrenching, scenes played out on the techs in the border with mexico, where around 200 separated families got a rare chance to see. and embrace their loved ones on the other side of the

frontier, hosted by human rights groups and immigrants from reform activists. the event has taken place for a time. i mean, it's amazing because we haven't seen them for so long and it's great for people on the side to have diesel. it's a fairly lovely experience. i think it's great. ah, the book is relative. today we are expansion. hope it will be happening if we weren't

thinking real. ah, the president biden has promised a new fair and humane approach to manage and immigration, but the u. s. immigration policy will never be fair and humane. as long as he goes, ro is relegated to 7, isn't of us immigration force and the suffering of migrants in mexican immigration detention center, go heated. ah, that does it for me this hour i will be back in about $33.00 and a half minutes with look at your headline. this is our

i the financial survival guide, stacy blip. learn about be allowed. let's say i'm a joy and your grief. i'm grief based of the site. walk 3 prod. thank you for helping ah, joy. that's right. fail waiver a join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me doing the breathing technique and then take

a pool. inhale and i don't know where it goes to to bring that. i need to re read a dime, a field trip tomorrow. read a vision. she gave me this is your media a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? tyson lation, whole community. are you going the right way? where are you being that somewhere? direct. what is true?

what is faith? in the world corrupted. you need to this end. ah, so join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah ah ah, module was a potential solution, the voice of i jeopardized you're saying you're going to be one of them. some push has it's more up to be

sexual pleasure at each other than the person who function with a choice on that. and you folks to these nish, it works in listening to hear the news. what will push this is a little because me, you were issued by me that was just world war 2 ended almost 75 years ago. but thousands went missing in action. lost in the woods seas and in swamps.
