the me, the the, the, the top stories this i can fully olympics, what protests susan's demanding if they claim to take games will cause the ways of new cases. more than $100.00 people linked to the events have already tested positive amid concerns. this is just the tip of the i thought i was a come questions raised decline of what was once the most powerful navy in the world. as it turns out, that just one british naval destroyer is currently fully operational and following a recent wife and process. and she, with us sometimes ran the sanctions against the caribbean nations. the biden's administration shows no sign and backing down on american long time,

brian for ah, hello, there she's go midnight here in moscow, you're watching arte international. now the lean pick flame is burning and the long away to tokyo. some a games have finally begun. however, the atmosphere is far from being. is festive, is organized and had hoped, while opening fireworks did light up the stadium, there was a protest over concerns about the spread of cove. it infections already linked to the event have jump 211013 of them among athlete. however, the president of the international olympic committee does insist if the games can be held safely with restrictions. meaning, though that for the very 1st time in history, no spectators will be allowed to attend naples franca. now reports to prophecy

doesn't stop that. 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 i were coming 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 b arenas 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 fitting 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 coven 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 private safe in the olympic dining hall 1st, we sanitized them, put these gloves on. before we touch anything, we go and grab one of these trays. a individual try has been sanitized and washed is a tender of the bottom floor of the dining hall as we walk around. obviously we've got i'm awesome in every little keep cool. disinfecting white so we walk down everything that we're going to touch the screen, the sides of everything. it makes me conversations pretty difficult because it's hard to get through them, but it keeps up. 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 till 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 count has been on for a while. and it seems to be just this pacey, as the metal count, while the city of tokyo itself is under a state of emergency. they the 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 council rarely because holding 1000000 which was danger. all nice. i think it is wrong to have the lympics in the midst of to run a pandemic. i wonder about the government's sense of calling for self restraint among the general public of the same time. be adamant about the link to someone else who's already made tokyo. 2020. i. e. 2021. out. standing as laurel hubbard,

the 1st ever transgender olympic athlete. she was born male and will 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. left 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 impact since 2004 laurel hubbard is the 1st to qualify and 154000 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'll be taking the ne, well, that was easy to expect. however, when athletes were pulled 70 percent said they were against any protest anywhere at the olympic venues. aud unusual weird. have you chosen the right word? i britain once boasted the most powerful navy in the world, however, it has become a shadow of its former self with just one of 6 destroys, currently ready for service. and there are warnings to the situation is operationally unacceptable. broadcast 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 were

a british captain and itching for an excuse to antagonize the russians place, your order. those a big splash as i say, but it was bravado the supposed show of full symbolized, but a tremendous defender sailing into russian gun ranges was actually a bluff as it emerged that all other destroyers already for repairs h m. a defender recently at the center of a diplomatic grove with russia following the voyage of the korean peninsula is the only vessel 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 need is a rush and tug boats coming to its rescue or a chinese one following on from the queen,

elizabeth strike groups and no girl deployments. the united kingdom will permanently assign 2 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. now these, if the royal navy can scrounge together enough operational ships, so 2 of them, which as british assures of june can be a challenge if 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 2 ally to ensure that we have destroy protection. that really indicates bottom line that we need a bigger navy rule, but tanya rules, the waves, the old song goes truly times bears know what not that the bridge should 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 till then it seems, britain will depend on others to rule the waves in the question is, is everyone in nato ready to fight and die and unintended hypothetical war sparked by another british stunt? because it would be extremely embarrassing if they aren't that roads have become raging rivers and 1000 have been hit by a blackout. that's the devastating scene witness to ne turkeys. it's tough. there's more torrential flooding. severe rain that has destroyed homes and overturned vehicles and authorities have turned off electric supplies as a safety precaution, and it does come to just the week after 6 people died and she went missing in previous flooding. a local reporter gave us the light to hug just and number 2 in from view, which is now severely damaged by the flood. heavy rain started yesterday early in

the morning overflow. you can see behind me applauding, destroyed a bridge across the river, causing it to the damage is really significant. 5000 citizens live in the small district on the black sea coast of turkey. many of the moved to safety water flows of more than a 100 vehicles around the 100 commercial areas are affected. local, the suffering huge loss, the ground floor, apartments basements, 1st floor space damage from rising water level. in some places building the flooded up the 2nd floor, much of the furniture that has been destroyed. the water supply system has been damaged and people now have to get drinking water from municipal facilities. such seen the witness throughout the affected areas rescued, civil defense groups, and now working in the area, also evacuating people. support crews have been mobilized from cities nearby in wal residents of the german region, worst hit by last week, steadily, floods that are struggling to peace. their lives together again,

they are forced to deal with every think at the moment from restricted vaccine access to broken sewage systems. me oliver, i guess i'll look callbacks. nation sandra was hitting the catastrophe and is closed, and we all would have had to drive very far to do vaccinated. misha, camino, i'm here for my 2nd vaccination. i was supposed to get my 2nd shot from my doctor, but he was also the victim of the clock. 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 for people that work together in a confined space and the transmission 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 transformation remains the main method of transmission.

and we had the safest drinking water in the whole world. it was almost all 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 flowed through the streets and the villages was a mixture of excrement and rain. water contamination is very high. you shouldn't have anything to swallow anything because they're also environmental toxins and things like that ah, is fish. if you feel terrible, everything destroyed many people don't have any commendation. the business is also closed. it's like a nightmare. so much more financial help is necessary because it has caused camille

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 our 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 any more. nothing east tonight, moon is in haiti, have been grieving at the funeral affair, murdered president. his protest is also took to the streets to you in a show of the political divisions tearing the caribbean nation. now this is a picture from the funeral, present over no more years was killed in his home alleged by a group, including 26, former colombian soldiers, 6 trained by the u. s. military protest surrounding the funeral shots were

reportedly fired in the us delegation and of the guests to run to their vehicles. although no insurance were reported to come. this world renowned all galleries right, raised at pulling videos, referencing famous paintings, but the hosting site pool and hub argues it's only promoting fine arts we'll have to detail in a couple of minutes. ah i ah, with me ah

ah, i use join me every 1st a on the alex summon show and i'll be speaking to guests in the world, the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then in the in the moon. ah, hello again. the biden administration has taken his 1st major steps against

america's long time target cuba and a slap sanctions on the country's defense minister and also an elite security forces brigade. it is in response to lead human rights violations during anti government protests early this month. this is just the beginning. the united states will continue to sanction individuals responsible for oppression of the cuban people. well, people in cuba had taken to the street to vent their frustration over the government's handling of the pandemic, and also an economic crisis wrong with food and medicine. shortage is a number of activists were detained, and the cuban president denounced the rallies as a foreign provocation. he also blaine to the problems on the long standing trade embargo imposed by the united states further steps expected from washington to include expanding its mission in havana, as well as giving into 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 all of this. and he says that other countries would be accused of meddling if they pursued the same policies. several weeks ago by the 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 to 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

blocked 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? it was, if china or russia were china, broadcast internet on the shores of cuba or radio like radio. marquee is, they've done from miami, the cuban cuban americans. surely the us government would cry foul. so was russia was china here across the spectrum of the mainstream media, yet every day, cuba is there in the headlines because the u. s. has been pushing regime change and he was at 959. s a true agenda that deadly serious us. i speak and nancy pelosi has rushed to defend the democrat lead select committee investigating the japanese 6 capitol hill. riots that after house minority leader

kevin mccarthy, accused of an egregious abuse of power for rejecting 2 republicans. he appointed to the panel hello. c has created a sham process. house democrats must answer this question. why are you allowing a lame duck speaker? to destroy this institution? this is the people's house, not pelosi. the house was wednesday. pelosi blocks 2 of mccarthy's 5 nominees stressing their participation could compromise the integrity of the investigation of both and known to be long time allies of former president donald trump. pelosi though accepted the of the 3. yet that still failed to satisfy the minority leader who then threatened to pull all his members from the committee and said to the republicans would instead run their own investigation into the incident with a quick reminder of what happened then and of the events under investigation. because on january, the 6th from support is stormed capitol hill after he lost joe biden,

in the 2020 presidential election in shooting mel. i left 5 people dead. now we can talk about this bit further with political amis over as moose and who is based in washington, and we're grateful for your time tonight. oh, what do you make of this latest for that? is it likely g? think to have any major impact on any eventually investigation absolutely will find nothing coming from this at all. so why i don't think i side with the majority of americans. i think over 2 thirds support, this is why are we even happened this investigation and or less than a month? maybe not that much is less, but less than a majority, like 49 percent. and then the over to 3rd one, some type of investigation would be a riot, was created, $1000000000.00 damage. i think we're going to have 2 parties doing something here

and they're most going to come up with different recommendations. really. nothing's going to come out of this. meanwhile, we've got almost 500 people sitting in day several with new charges. you know, what are, what just on this? i mean, what is the point then of this investigation? will it carry any sort of way to tool will any punishment behind it acts as a result of it? or can you just explain, you know, what the innocent people who yes did they violate that they go on to government property that probably yes. there were no firearm. there was no threat of death. there was no the only one that died. actually any war desk where natural causes i think 3 were the result of me. previous health conditions and perhaps officer picnic as well. if it's broken day later,

but the only one they get killed was the 14 year veterans near work. actually dab with people don't like talk about and she was an arm. and so no one was really are there was no guns there. it was. yes. going to get out of hand. absolutely. did people be found? charged with something. yes. but. but this is ridiculous. so entire investigation ridiculous, a lot of side going off in a different direction. i don't think anything's going to come out of it. if you're going to you for political purposes on either side, that's what it's interesting the what you said earlier that a lot of people, you know, actually aren't interested in this problem. and they want to probably been to the black lives matter rights that took place. well, why don't you think we're seeing an investigation then into that? well, i think, i think we'll find out something very interesting in those. and i don't think they were, as my personal opinion,

is that they weren't as spontaneous as one would like to think. now where they justified some of them who did a degree they were a look my. my hometown minneapolis suffered huge losses. huge losses in business. people were scared, right. my. my sister felt she was almost being r hijacked. being followed one evening. crime is just gone up out of the room it, you know, and i think that that type of thing as occurred in multiple cities in minneapolis that i think that's an area that really from a, from a justice perspective. that is an area that really and i agree with the 6667 percent, 64 percent in minority majority and minority the that

that's something that needs to be in the rise from the previous summer. and we're not doing anything on that. we're spending political capital and time, and we'll spend multi $1000000.00 investigating probably 2 different investigate on . on a demonstration, i would say 99 percent people that got out of hand by a few people. and what interesting is 20 from my, what i've heard is wanting to 30 participants and that were under cover or employed by the f b, i are informing which maybe they need to investigate it, but that's not going to be so i think it is. unfortunately, the travesty of justice, the spending money to investigate something like this, i think the most, the effort should be looked at the riots that occurred previous summer. that's where we need to be focusing. i agree with majority people of america that area.

okay, we're going to leave that, but nice to to see tonight. that was the resolution, the political ominous. they're based in washington. thanks for coming on. you on museum, hit hard by pandemic locked dan's are having a tough time at the moment, attracting visitors, but the world's top free adult web site apparently is lending a helping hand or so it says, because pull hub is, has launched an interactive art guide that does include famous new paintings from prestigious museums, although hasn't please everybody. charlotte davinsky explains now from paris. great work of art celebrated for centuries. priceless beauty. now would they all being compared to put no more free? yes, you heard me correctly works by cool bat titian and monday are amongst those being touted by one adult website as the original source of luft. it's now taking advantage of bringing high bro ought to it's low dry website highlighting the final

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 eyes. ah, the volley without moving to the ship generally. ah, now this whole thing in a contemporary setting is described as being the purpose of them more than cool and shondra. sure. monday the office have in mind in 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 we the well made me go a little bit to tingley. others, though it sent shivers down the spines, not in a good way the, the in florentine 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, they must make a formal request. if the request is granted, then they have to pay. none of this procedure was followed our lawyer, the 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 sec couldn't send matches now pulling 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 happy lost with cultural institutions. so what to visit is think, is this really the greatest re, poon overall time? see do, do, do for me to art maybe during the time it was created, it was a little on the side of pornography, but i imagine it was for some, it is pre pornography. yeah. when they did up under that, he was supposed to say no, not at all. i don't think so because i think is an industry that is done for the goal of having an orgasm. and here if there is no org and then all we are very, very sensitive this video, usually unethical,

not very legal. so i think they must do more to make them more interesting before comparing it to art. let's lisa art what he's art did not phonographic because he knew that doesn't mean and for the reason, the relation between noon and phonograph, you're leaving the debate about where the ponies off off is poor reaching climax, geology ski off the parents. just going to take another look because, well, you know, want to enjoy the all, it's been a hog. she knows how to national bank. she company tonight. we're back again in about 30 minutes. the ah, the eastern half of the united states. we're going to have 1000000000 trillions of

periodical.
