ah, the ah, top stories is our process empty stadiums and athletes. in fact, not quite the opening ceremony. lympics is hoping for us to take games finally get underway. also these questions are raised over the decline of what was one of the most powerful navy in the world. as it turns out, that just one british naval destroy is currently fully operational. and following a reason why the protest in cuba, the u. s. and poses a new round of sanctions against the care of the nation, showing the u. s. not backing down on its long time, rivals the spice in you as ministration. just right

now. but in jerry's ice cream gets frozen out of israel after the company soap sales and occupied palestinian territory. but is it economic terrorism or support for human rights? we debate the issue an american company caving in to, to, to a mob demand. they can take a moral stand and say, well i'm, i don't want to do anything with that product. ah, oh, good evening. it's just gone. i o'clock here in moscow, you watching artie international. not even pick flame is burning and the long way to to take some games have officially begun. however, the atmosphere is far from being as festive as people had hoped for. because while opening fireworks lit up the stadium, there was a protest sparks by concerns of the number of cases will only continue to grow

infections already linked to the event of jumped 211013 of them among athletes. still, the president of the international limit committee does insist the games can be held safely with restrictions. meaning that for the 1st time in history, no spectators are allowed to attend to the frank and i report see, control vesee doesn't end up in the whole world. is talking about how the pandemic has taken its toll on the olympics. and it's clear the games will be the oddest, most unusual, weird choose which ever word you like in history. it looks as if the number one, elliptic official just wanted to go with the flow of weirdness when he got the nation that's hosting the big event wrong. and our common target is safe and secure games for everybody, for the athletes, and for all the delegations, and most importantly, also for the chinese people, japanese people. anyway,

the locals won't be able to enjoy any of the actual arena vibes because the arena's are supposed to be empty. and so the newly updated a limping moto faster, higher, stronger, together also sounds a bit weird. physically, there ain't going to be that many people in tokyo, standing or sitting together empty stadiums must be depressing for the athletes, but probably not as depressing as the rules for staying in the olympic village. a ban on leaving the covert free zone gps trackers only 90 seconds allowed for conversations in the mix zone. only 10 minutes devoted for one meal having to fly out of japan once your tournament is over. this is how we keep credit safe in the olympic dining hall. first, we sometimes put these gloves on before we touch anything. we go and grab one of these trays. individual hi has been sanitized and washed. is

a pattern of the bottom floor of the dining hall as we walk around. obviously we've got i'm awesome in every little keep cool there, disinfecting wife so we walk down everything that we're gonna touch the screen, the side of everything. it makes me real time conversations pretty difficult because it's hard to get through them. but the metal ceremonies might also make the winners feel a bit lonely. they will be presented to the athlete on a tray and then the athlete will take the metal him or herself. it will be made sure that the person who will put the metal on the tray will do so only with disinfected gloves so that the athlete can be sure that nobody touched them before . athletes also have to get used to fragile beds, which have been dubbed anti sex. although thanks to social media, we've already learned that beds aren't that useless in this peculiar aspect. athletes will use beds made of cardboard frames, but they've been assured the cardboard beds won't collapse. during sex,

the organizers haven't given up on the tradition of giving away thousands of condoms, but athletes will only be able to use them after they check out til the very final days of preparations before the opening ceremony. it wasn't clear if the olympics would go ahead, despite the overwhelming anti cove it measures athletes are testing positive, the nerves county has been on for a while. and it seems to be just as pacey as the metal count, while the city of tokyo itself is under a state of emergency daily case, growth numbers have gone back to the peaks of winter, and the locals would usually be so proud to be living in a whole city are now mostly against the event. one recent poll showed almost 80 percent. we're not happy with the decision not to cancel the whole thing. this explains the protests. the counsel, lillian,

because holding millions who calls me to try to spread which will endanger own lives. i think it is wrong to have the lympics in the midst of a corona pandemic. i wonder about the government stance of calling for self restraint among the general public. well, the same time being adamant about the lympics. someone else who's already made tokyo. 2020. i. e. 20. 20. 1. upstanding is laurel hubbard. the 1st ever transgender olympic athlete. she was born male and we'll compete among female weight lifters. this caused quite a stir with some of the sports community going as far as saying that the i o c betrayed women by allowing this, while the transgender are celebrating this historic milestone for them. the whole thing feels like a bad joke, less change in opportunities and missed for some athletes, meadows and the limpid qualifications, and we are powerless. i do believe that everyone should have access to sports,

but not at the expense of others. both include and transgender efforts have been in place in the olympics and pol lympics since 2004 laurel hubbard is the 1st to qualify. am on 54000 olympians and barling bins. over the last 17 years trans people belong in sports. and finally, in tokyo, it's become official athletes will be allowed to make political gestures and statements, but only before the competition begins. nothing like that is still allowed at the podium. so some teams have already announced they will be taking the ne, well, that was easy to expect. however, when athletes were pulled 70 percent said they were against any protests anywhere at the olympic venues. aud unusual weird. have you chosen the right word? britain once posted the most powerful navy in the world. however, it has become

a shadow of its former self, which is one of 6 destroys, currently ready for service. and there are warning, see the situation is operationally unacceptable. were against the f. as the story. britain has made quite the splash recently, the cowboy flora into russia's territorial waters, off the coast of crimea, all ukrainian waters. if you are a british captain, dot itching for an excuse to antagonize the russians. james, you're a big splash as i say, but it was bravado the supposed show of full symbolized, but h m. s. defenders sailing into russian gun ranges was actually a bluff as it emerged that all other destroyers are in for repairs. h m, a defender recently at the center of a diplomatic grove with russia following the voyage of the cranial peninsula is the

only rest of the class without and issue. the other 5 type, 40 fives, all need work, either planned or due to problems developed while it see. it's a good thing, but it didn't break down and caught me in waters. the last thing the royal navy needs is a rush and tug boat coming to its rescue or a chinese one following on from the queen elizabeth strike groups inaugural deployments. the united kingdom will permanently assign to ships in the region from later this year. big blad britain has i'm not entirely sure the chinese will be all that impressed, given recent events by which i mean breakdowns but big plans. nevertheless, that easy. the rule navy can scrounge together enough operational ships. so 2 of them, which as british assures, have shown can be a challenge that ship experiences propulsion problems. as we have seen across the top $45.00 family than our carrier group would have to be forced to lean on an a to

l. i to ensure that we have destroy protection, that really indicates bottom line that we need a bigger navy rule, but tonya rule, the waves, the old song, goes truly times bears know what not that the british are giving up. again. big black, 24000000000 pounds marked for a new fleet. we are going to use extra spending to restore britain's position as the foremost naval power in europe. and until then, it seems, britain will depend on others to rule the waves in question is, is everyone in nato ready to fight and die and unintended hypothetical war sparked by another british stun. because it would be extremely embarrassing if they aren't gas the of the and i, the biden administration is taken his 1st major steps against america long time target cuba and has slapped sanctions to the countries on the countries defense

minister and also analyze security forces brigade, it is in response to a lead human rights violations during anti government protest this month. this is just the beginning. the united states will continue to sanction individuals responsible for oppression of the cuban people will pay for it in cuba had taken to the streets to vent their frustration over the government handling of the pandemic . camden economic crisis along with food and medicine shortages. a number of activists were detained and the cuban president denounced the rallies is a foreign provocation. he also blame the problems on the long standing trade embargo imposed by the united states will further steps expected from washington do include expanding its mission in havana, as well as giving in to pressure to help the cuban population such as lessing americans send money to relatives and friends there through a remittance scheme. we spoke to latin american and caribbean studies. professor

daniel sure about this. and he says that other countries would be accused of meddling if they pursued the same policies. several weeks ago biting had said that a change in policy towards cuba was not on the menu, but suddenly following this, this backlash, this wave of anti cuba. anti socialism propaganda from the right wing from all sectors of the liberal elite suddenly biden is hyper focused on cuba. but the intention is the same as it has been since 1959. and this has nothing to do with the liberation of cuba, and everything to do with the re colonization of the u. s. is done everything in their power, diplomatically, no, terribly, economically and politically. to carry out their attempts to re colonize cuba. they block them off from access to technology, to the internet, to social media. so how hypocritical now that the republican party and others claim

that they doing everything to bring free, why fi in q was, if china or russia were china, broadcast internet off the shows of cuba or radio like radio. marquee is, they've done from miami, the anti cuban cuban americans. surely the us government would cry foul towards russia, woods, china. here across the spectrum of the mainstream media. yet every day, cuba is there in the headlines. because the u. s. been pushing regime change in cuba. it's $959.00. s a true agenda. while there have been many inconsistencies in the mainstream media and on social media to when it comes to the coverage of protests in cuba. in fact, a pro government demonstrator had asked you and human rights commission or not to use a photo to wrongly, the straight anti government protests. however, she then had her twitter account blocked for clothes unusual activity with you and

used this photo in a tweet, calling for the cuban government to address protest as grievances the post was later deleted amory made with the face of the official who actually made the requests we heard from the pro government activist in the picture, who says those who support havana being deliberately silence. even before found there would be mass protest, i decided for myself to hit the streets. i found a cuban flag and took to the streets to demand the end of the blockade. and of course, the protection of our revolution, my friends broke, contacted me and showed my photo used by international media such as forbes, which used it as a symbol of the protest. of course, i was outraged and disappointed because that was not something i came to the streets for a while. so seeing such a manipulation, i decided to denounce and condemn the use of my image for something i was again,

what happened is a lie. so i decided to denounce twitter because it was twitter where you and commission, i used my photo and as a consequence to it, to decided to bend my profile, silence may be understood that in this way they would silence many of those defending the revolution in cuba. what, in fact, media errors over cuba protests have been so common and creatures that critics are raising questions. for example, cnn showed a rally in miami was suggesting it was in cuba, many others add photos of pro government support is if they were anti governments, we heard there and a photo circulating across social media said to be from cuba was actually from 2011 protests in egypt, as chris otter again says they are unlikely to be honest mistakes. seeing closely my, even though supporting the cuban revolution were shown to the world as part of the protests against the government. it was blayton manipulation because it was obvious

that it was people with the cuban flag who identify it as a symbol of sovereignty and independence. and those who came to protest against government policy over the pandemic and other issues related to shortages. the government or the accused off did not use national symbols that day one contradicted the other. my roads have become raging rivers and thousands have been hit by a black haired that is the devastating scene witnessed in ne keys it suffers more torrential flooding. severe rain has destroyed homes and overturned vehicles, their authorities have turned off the electric supplies as a safety precaution, and it comes just a week after 6 people died and 2 went missing in previous flooding, a local reporter gave us the latest number to him from our view which is now severely damaged by floods. heavy rain started yesterday early in the morning. the river overflowed, as you can see, behind me, flooding destroyed

a bridge across the river, causing it to collapse. the damage is really significant. 5000 citizens live in the small district on the black sea coast of turkey. many of the move to safety water flows. it moves more than 100 vehicles around the 100 commercial areas are affected . local, the suffering huge loss, the ground floor, apartments basements, 1st floor face damage from rising water levels. in some places building the flooded up to the 2nd floor. much of the furniture that has been destroyed. the water supply system has been damaged and people not have to get drinking water from municipal facilities. such seen the witness throughout the affected areas. rescuers and civil defense groups that are working in the area also evacuating people. support crews have been mobilized from cities nearby. oh, not nice to night morning and i have been grieving at the funeral of the slain president as protest as to suit the streets and to show of the political divisions tearing at the caribbean nation. this is

a picture from the funeral prison. juvenile mussa was killed in his residence, alleged by a group, including 26, former colombian soldiers, 6 trained by the us military protest surrounding funeral shots were reportedly fired, and the us delegation and other guess ran to the vehicles the president of the german region worst hit by last week, steadily floods the struggle to piece together their lives. again. they are forced to deal with everything from restricted vaccine access to broken sewage systems. me, oliver, i guess i'll look. vaccination sandra was hit in the catastrophe and is closed. and we all would have had to drive very far to be vaccinated. isha come in, i'm here for my 2nd vaccination. i was supposed to get my 2nd shot from my doctor, but he was also victim of the flood. i'm also here with

a charge group to help people who are affected because i was fortunately barely hit me. benji mentioned is on time and i expect the number of code cases in this area to rise in the next few days. if the people that work together in a confined space than the transmission of corona is easier because everyone is not wearing mouth, nose protection, at least not in the pictures you see on tv, we can see that human to human transmission remains the main method of transmission and we had the safest drinking water in the whole world. it was almost star oil that's over now. we have never had such a situation in germany. at least not this extreme. there is no difference between drinking water and sewage at the moment. the water that flowed through the streets and the villages was a mixture of excrement and rain. water contamination is very high. you shouldn't

inhale anything or swallow anything because they're also environmental toxins and things like that. ah, is fish. if you feed is terrible, everything is destroyed. many people don't have any commendation. the business is also closed. it's like a nightmare. a lot more financial help is necessary because it has costs mirror and some damage. the whole infrastructure must be rebuilt. many buildings must be ripped down and rebuilt all the breach of here. we have just one bridge out of around 10 left, just one bridge. to get to the other side, we now have to travel through the whole village. so we are really reliant on financial resources and we also don't have any work. everything has been destroyed, no jobs, and no money anymore. when

it's local, still struggle to cope. there i yeah. presenter had a top german t v channel r t l has been fired for being caught pretending to help in the clean up operation . but a bystander apparently filmed her smearing herself with mud just before going on camera in one stricken time, and then came, she was actually helping act economic terrors. and that's how these railey president labeled. the growing international movement to boy caught his country over its treatment of palestine. it does come after ice cream, multinational been in jerry's fro sales within israeli settlements throughout the occupied westbank. and also each teresa we believe it is inconsistent with our values for ben and jerry's ice cream to be sold in the occupied palestinian territory. we also hear and recognise the concerns shared with us by our fence and trusted partners. now it's just like you know,

what m responds or some in israel and beyond to have shared videos of themselves throwing away its products in the u. s. retailers to have also shown solidarity with israel by reducing or stopping supplies of brand. i wish rail to deny accusations of occupying palestine or committing more crimes. they're still going to welcome the ice cream brands move as a step forwards what they see as justice. and i'm out about a week before the decision and any company that boy cause these rail occupation, we hope the whole world will boycott israel product. i know we are pleased with the company's decision will support all companies that by called these rarely occupation and always railey settlement because of the war crimes and crimes they're committing against palestinians. i feel happy because there are companies that have a conscious knowledge of the legality. of settlements in the palestinian territory

when an american company makes such a decision, and it is one of the largest the most widespread companies in the world. it is a beautiful thing. well ben and jerry is just the latest and a growing list of companies that have decided to boycott israel. and it is an issue that seen that tempers flare on both sides. we put the issue of put debate. i don't think this is going to make a bit of difference in israeli policy because it's so clearly so transparently an american company caving in to, to, to a mob demand that what we're seeing is some consumer power on the rise. this is not about the, you know, vs, for example, advising or lobbying supermarkets to stop selling ban injuries, foods and products. this is about consumers. i think the significance of this, however, is that this is coming from a u. s. company and

a few months back. the u. s. was going completely in a different direction. they were recognizing east jerusalem as is really and moving forward to recognizing the occupied territories as such, the left wing mom tries to take lots of complex situation like policing in america . we're like israel conflict with her neighbors and turn them into clear black and white right and wrong. when that's not the reality. if consumer power is growing, now you can call that left his mob or whatever. you know, if people see george floyd being suffocated under the knee of a policeman, then will sympathize and you can call that left is small but, but i think it's just natural that people simplified and take action. they can take a moral stand and say, well, i don't want to do anything with that product. that's the kind of double standard of people say offensive things across the globe. you mentioned what happened in

minnesota where's been injurious boycott minnesota. i could point out more than a sense of things being done in countries around the world. oppression being done, countries around the world. where is the boy out there when we're just going to focus in on israel and say, uh huh. someone in israel did something that was offensive to an arab, therefore we must boycott israel. it does suggest to me the sort of absurd, double stand in this absurd obsession. that does make me make me very suspicious of an anti semitism at work issue of settlement with she's not, you know, happening one month ago or one year ago. it has been happening for, you know, a century or something. people are being kicked out of their houses, sometimes violently, sometimes under the premise or the guys of law and other people, other ethnic city coming and taking their place. you know, this has gone too long and every now and then because this issue is being solved, then it will resurface longstanding grievance every now and then you know,

is shown bear in front of everybody and people remind themselves to make a moral stance. we're seeing a different path emerging in the middle east. think we're seeing countries like the united arab emirates, bahrain morocco saying you know what, what's best for our joint future in the middle east jewish era, but like muslim and jewish like it's not boy cutting and shunning, but actually coming together, working together, investing together, collaborating together, and i would humbly suggest that the united arab emirates modeled abraham affords model of investment in collaboration. and mutual recognition will produce a better future for everyone in the middle east than some sort of silly boy cutting, pushed by americans who knew very little about the reality. on the grant. i find the while museum hit hard by pandemic locked hands are having a hard time attracting visitors. the world's top free pool and website is lending a helping hand. a pool and hub has launched and interactive our guides that does

include famous new paintings from prestigious museums, although hasn't please, every body charlotte davinsky explains now from powers. great work are celebrated for centuries. priceless beauty. now would they all being compared to put no free? yes, you heard me correctly works by cool, that titian and monday are amongst who is being touted by one adult website as the original source of last. it's now taking advantage of bringing high bro ought to move dry website highlighting the finest boobies the world has ever seen and turning them into live performances by act is, guess i should go and check them out again. then with some fresh ice. ah,

without swooning around the 3 ships generally. ah, now this painting depicting and in a contemporary setting, it's described as being the purpose of them more than cool and shondra to talk monday the artists have a mind. aah! and last one on the left is my favorite because it is so rude babies. this one is for you. yeah. you know what i mean? ah, which is the well

made me go a little bit to tingley. others though it sent shivers down the spine, not in a good way the, the in florida sees or hawkins of the cola and outraged. these will be content is totally illegal and has been done without permission. if anyone wants to use this material, them of make a formal request, if the request is granted, then they have to pay. none of this procedure was followed. our lawyers drafting a cease and desist order to be sent to port hub. this material should be taken down immediately, and that has worked a charm already. the scientists taken down some of the content licensing content, just like having sex. consent matches now pulling the hub in fish. the project was designed to help museums, hard hit by the pandemic look downs, by stimulating the public to visit and fall back in love. all the haps love with

cultural institutions. so want to visit is think, is this really the greatest re, poon overall time? see do for today, but they do for me to art maybe during the time it was created, it was a little on the side of pornography. i imagine it was for some it is pre pornography . yes. when they did up that he was supposed to kill, don't say no, not at all. i don't think so because i think porn is an industry that has done for the goal of having an orgasm. and here if there is no or give him a b, and then all we are very, very sensitive this video. so usually unethical and not very illegal. i think there must do more to make them more interesting before comparing it to art. let's leave to art what he's art is phonographic it because the, the new day doesn't mean for no reason relation between noon and phonograph. you're leaving the debate about where the ponies off off is torn,

reaching a climax show given sky off. see power. and i'm just going to take another look because well, you know, want to enjoy the oh, it's been hard. yeah. just coming up there which is gone. half are state and evening here. most nice. watching back again at the top of the the the the with the.
