apparatus as our plan is to monitor every little thing happening on their site. and they choose to ignore the really green stuff and over the political things. they're too busy removing. mean jokes, and any sort of speech that sensitive delicate, like when people might find offensive when. meanwhile, there's actual crimes apparently occurring on their side. really bad piano, facebook and it's good reason or, you know, parents see the store is there and might want their kids on instagram. facebook, rightly so it's scary, spatial doesn't like press like this at all. they're, they're very scared of it. and especially where young people are concerned, they obviously want to young people and parents. they want to rope and young people . they want to get them hooked on these platforms and keep them to the lifelong users. so facebook is going to want to clean it up simply for p r. i would imagine the biggest to ever a court case against pharmaceutical giants is now underway in america. drug make a stand accused of aggravating the countries opioid crisis. our plan is to lay out
9:07 am
all of the bad conduct that lead to the evidence that's. that's number one. certainly we want to establish, we want the jury to hear it. we want the jury to answer the question. this was a public nuisance. they caused riffing, terrific damages to our community. that's what you want from this, from this driving. well, one giant, a pharmaceutical industry company will not be at the trial though, that being johnson and johnson. this just agree to a 230000000 dollar out of court settlement with new york. now, as part of the deal, it will settle related claims over the next 9 years and stop selling opioids in the country. the company, it's, it's though it isn't any admission of wrongdoing, so it hasn't sold any opioids since 2015. now, the whole opioid crisis that's being blamed on johnson and johnson and the other drug makers who will stand trial has caused huge suffering all across the country. in fact, it's killed almost half
9:08 am
a 1000000 people. johnson johnson is accused of over prescribing drugs and causing addiction something the company denies. it says it distributed, neither the required amounts of medicine to people with certain issues. luca j nasty has an organization that helps drug addicts recover. he says, compensation for the victims should be much higher. this should be a much bigger compensation, a half a 1000000 americans that perished remiss and many more families that have been destroyed by this addiction, which is at an epidemic level and continues to increase both and not only and over those deaths, but in the spread of the contagion throughout the society. so is $230000000.00. adequate? absolutely not. the european environment bureau has branded the ease use new green law of foss, legislation obliges the block to become
9:09 am

9:10 am
a net 0 emissions economy. now the deal was approved by all expect guerria, which i'm saying saying the final compromise did not reflect its national position . but while everyone else is totally on board, that doesn't mean that they are all happy about it. the dog is not buying the national level is a big is a big circle and we are hearing some of our members saying that, oh but it's in check with people saying that. com and you're trying to get for you is not for us. so we don't have to bother. so, you know, this is exactly the kind of dynamics which will not take us to climate neutrality because there is a sort of, you know, to say who thing the responsibility on others should nurse without really looking into how to be quite nice when all the phones that are

9:12 am
the promise is laid out in the treaty have fallen by the wayside. the host nation about summit fraud found guilty by cool to failing to meet its commitment to curb. but greenhouse gas emissions. leading many to question whether this new, you know, will actually be worth anything more than the paper. it's been written on charlotte, even sky r t. paris tuesday sees a highly anticipated euro 2020 class between england and germany at wembley stadium in london. but not everyone's exactly excited about the game. on the eve of the match, german politicians slammed both the british government anew wafer for allowing it to go ahead. during the pandemic branding it an irresponsible decision. peter oliver reports. well, that concerned about the amount of funds that are going to be allowed into the stadium and the levels of cobit infection that is currently ripping through the
9:13 am
united kingdom. $45000.00 funds will be allowed into wembley stadium to watch this month between england and germany. and that's prompted some politician to go as far as to say that this stunned by the carelessness of the u. k. government on view a for, for allowing this to happen. the reason their concern is the delta variance of coven 19 and the risk that it poses. when you look at the numbers of infection, the difference between germany in the united kingdom is, is quite stock in the last 24 hours. this being 22 and a half 1000 infections of cove and 19 in the united kingdom, 341 infections in germany. what we've seen is politicians say that the british government really should have done something here. they shouldn't have allowed these extra funds to come in. they had been less fund allowed for the group stage game. the plan is for the semi finals and the final that could be as many as
9:14 am
$60000.00 funds coming in to wembley stadium for those games. we look around the rest of the tournament. this told him, of course being played over multiple cities, multiple venues. and there is really a quick work of a mix. much of, of different tactics been employed in russia, 50 percent of the stadiums allowed to be full here in germany. significantly reduced attendances in the netherlands. well, it's a, they're allowing 12 hour passes for traveling funds to come in to the stadium and they've got to get out as quickly as possible while in hungry. they were pretty much a free for all for any farms that can get tickets. the stadiums are full. german politicians, not happy about what's happening in the u. k. and not happy with europe football, governing body. i think it is responsible when tens of thousands of people come together in a small space in countries that are considered areas of the highly contagious delta parent. i would not have done it like that and hungary would not have wanted to
9:15 am
take responsibility for it. football is not war. the super spreader event. enjoy. yes, but enjoyed reasonably well. they'll be no travelling germany funds in the stadium . they would have to set off 24 hours before the game that decided that they'll be playing too much on tuesday if they were to get through the quarantine rules that are currently in place. as it stands when it would come to returning to germany. that would have been even more difficult for them currently, germany, bonds all but the most essential of travel from the united kingdom angle. a miracle . of course, we'd like to see that spread across the european union as she is gravely concerned about the risk of the cove at 1900 delta very, and that is rampant in the united kingdom. she wants to see all member states put at least restrictions on travelers from the u. k. coming into the you and potentially being the source of it. a 3rd wave, another wave. i don't know how many ways we're on to right now. another wave of

boca who rom has been abducting people on an industrial scale. everybody is tired, people are suffering. you're facing your own problem. it will be difficult for you to come out for somebody else. so it has become difficult for people to come out and make educations about kidnappings. in 2014, the kidnapped more than 270 girls. of whom about a 100. i believed to remain in captivity still on top of that, the village downs and villages, and attack the nigerian army. it is unfortunate the despite all efforts put in place to restore peace in our land. in the northeast, we the people of border states still under bogo her i'm siege. nobody can move out of my do glory by 10 kilometers without being confronted, attacked by boca her, boca hiram's reign of terror spills over the borders of nigeria to in cameroon. and chad. and now the group that already kidnapped torches and murders will be getting

9:26 am
but of course the bulk of questions, usually concert series issues that people face in their day to day life. and it is safe to say that one of the focuses this year will be the situation around the covert pandemic as several russian regions, including moscow haven't post mandatory vaccinations for certain groups of people. know a lot of questions and health topic. of course, vaccination, lack of litigation, lots of questions about housing and from, you know, services when you have a police and foreign policy politics relations with the united states to european union. does that concern ordinary russians or nazi, i'm put, you know, gosh, people are asking a lot about the meeting with by then about other relations with other countries. organizers of the event have adopted new technologist this year. there is a dedicated app you can download on your smartphone and then you can either pre record your question of latimer appointment. or if you're lucky enough, you can ask it live during the show. constantly rush, go far, t from moscow,
