street has been influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific establishment. ah, what's driving the reason? it's corporate. me. ah, the coby to restrictions. amanda 3 passes. furious rallies of freedom around the world . hold on, medics to argue that the risks of cove it still need to be a say you have to balance personal choice with what's good for the most people the end of the day life is a balance of risk. you can't wrap people up in costing well for the u. s. wasn't investigate new york state's handling of co bidding care homes despite accusations of deliberately under counting deaths. we hear from grieving families and as the us

led coalition, poolside staff, galveston translate is the word for foreign troops. for that life. after being targeted by the taliban is a country where, you know, every single person but speak with you live, it's quite easy to prove somebody. find them. i hello the good evening, just don't 11 o'clock in the russian capital. you're watching artie international sciences have rallied worldwide against co restrictions, but while people chance slogans for greater freedom, countries are having to cope with the highly infectious delta strain of the virus. the news

well, the biggest rallies are in france where more than 100. 60000 turned over the weekend . but president macaroni is calling on people to think of others and to give up their personal liberties your peddling. oh, couldn't the best didn't exist to so no freedom exists without duty. the freedom where i owe nothing to any one does not exist. it's a fiction ally. people sell themselves in my freedom only and where the freedom of the other begin women. but above all, it is based on a sense of reciprocal duty. what does your freedom worth? if you say to me, i don't want to be vaccinated, but if tomorrow you in fact you father is that if that have on file, no glove is it will often you have it cases in france recent despite more than $20000.00 in a single day, the new rules have come into force, meaning that anybody wanting to go to a crime public area must present

a clean bill of health while across the channel in britain, figures of falling but remain high at around 30000 cases a day. there are phase though that the de numbers will again be on the rise after england remove most of its restrictions recently. still some through their freedoms . they aren't being respected as murdered, can explain. it would be impossible to sum up what these protests were about in britain in france, easily greece, strangely, people from all walks of life through quotient to the wind in a bid to be heard to cry out. and the one thing that they all wanted is to say, where todd todd and angry the

the ah, one 1st thought may be that the season very small stage you got mass protest in the middle of a pandemic was while the delta vary and so much more contagious is making the rounds, and that is what her st need is for example, latched onto cooling protesters. more options in relation to yesterday's approaches cannot say how absolutely disgusted i was. it broke my heart,

millions and millions of people across our guided doing the right thing. and it just broke my heart. the people had such a disregard, the big fellow citizens. what we saw today in sidney is unfortunately something that we've seen in cities that we all shake our heads, that it's quite clear that you know, sidney isn't amune for morons as well. except of course, it isn't that simple. people are weary. they offered teague by this pandemic. the bad news, the, the locked down, the oscillation all over the world. in that respect were all the same. people yearn for freedoms and equality, osha, we are not against. maxine says they claim that this is not an active explanation movement. i think in people who and freedom you have them. i believe that this is an attack on fundamental freedoms. in france, there is a law saying medical procedures cannot be forced wives and facts. nation is being

imposed on us one way or another. the people behind the health possible behaving like nazis. we are forced to get vaccinated. close up, we no longer have freedom of choice as we mr. bay, the gulf, which in my opinion is to run a co op to legitimate public here. rotation moves into anger even rage and even lunacy trial. not just the sun go too far way do far. they never consider the other side of the argument, the millions and millions that have been killed, killed by this virus. that is indisputable. and leaders have one overarching goal to prevent millions more from sharing the same fate. and they have decided the personal freedoms over which you are appealing for was that those freedoms can be

suspended, ramon to conform the world is facing a 4th wave when we must act at the same time. we know the key to this problem. it's not new to the contagious of this delta variance is forcing us to do more than we must functioning. the bitter truth is that there is no miracle solution, no one that will make everyone happy, no matter how many protest people stage, or no matter how many look downs governments implement the very best we can hope for all civility and perseverance, which will probably require protest this, the refrain from prague to hang doctors and officials to cease from cooling, move those morons gas t, as we discussed the balance between freedoms and risks, to society with medical experts, people absolutely furious. the democracies are being turned into dictated shapes. i think it's really important the government in the west realized that govern with

the mandate of the people. and i think keep changing the go key, telling people that they cannot have their liberty and they no longer have mandate will. of course, they are some restrictions of freedom. we all live together in a society and we give up some personal freedoms in order to live together in harmony. not being vaccinated. i think is like driving on the red light because you put not just yourself in danger, but you put other people around you in danger because this is a virus. that is of course, contagious. there will always be new strengths of ours. the whole point of the vaccination rolling was to ensure that we protected the elderly and the foreigner. but what people are concerned about is that they have no choice. in the end of the day, it's your body and what you put into your body should be up to you. personal choice is always the best way you people make the right choice. but we're talking about

a contagious virus here that is killing people. and so you have to balance personal choice with what's good for the most people at the end of the day. life is a balance of risk. you can't rack people off and caution will fall. and at some point they have to say, i think right the actually we have on last week and a huge number of population we are receiving them. unity, i'm afraid i agree with the protest. i never thought in the united kingdom in a post war u. k. we'd be off the show papers to go to the cinema to go to the states and to go to the football. go to the rugby. i mean, i think it's absolutely outrageous now, only that we haven't fascinated enough people. all we happen will. of course, the people who are protesting, they don't like to wear the masks, they don't wish to be vaccinated, and therefore they don't like the passports either. so they would just like to ignore the coven, and what it is doing to people around the world,

making them sick, and causing many people to die. now i have a major problem with that because i don't think that's about liberty. i don't think it's about personal choice and it's not about freedom. so i'm totally against the cobra. positive, but i'm all in favor of people's being fascinated. meanwhile, the us justice department will not investigate new york state handling of the co crisis in nursing homes. the united states came in a letter to republican lawmakers and he sat raged the families of victims. cowards, you coward, you believe in the money you follow the money trail, your coward. how can you just and there is no apology. i mean to sit there and watch cuomo how his tone changed? you know, he seems so sympathetic now because he's off. he's free. i'll tell you about the lie. the lights have been going on for years. my mother's been tripping and falling in that nursing home for years. my mom, they said she had arthritis,

but she kept bawling. so they blamed pain on her shoulder on not right as and it was not arthritis she had at this located shoulder and years earlier. she fell in the nursing home and she broke her hip. they had to do a hip replacement. this is what i mean by the life lives are always there almost thing that he wants to help and not letting the creepy live to. we've been lied to . and we're going to be continue to live too, because just that's the way that's the way in new york functions. we have no rights . i feel like i have no. right. i feel like all those $15000.00 plus, they're gone. they're not coming back to we. we for diligently and we have no answers, we still have no answers, we still continue to fight, and we're just heartbroken. and how can whereas the justice for us, where's the justice for our family? it's nowhere, it's nowhere we will continue to or new york governor andrew cuomo is accused of hiding the number of corona vars related deaths in nursing homes to make this state

look more successful. and the handling of the pandemic and critics to say to that facilities were forced to take recovering with patients from hospitals, even if they may have been contagious. your original death numbers revealed in january were subsequently revised and almost double just a month later. so the justice department's decision now not to investigate has through an outcry from republicans who do claim the by the ministration is lacking democratic party governors, off the hook. and republicans do the keys. joe biden have been complicit in the scandal, adding that new yorkers do deserve answers and also accountability. the new york governor eventually confirmed the discrepancy, but stopped short of issuing an apology, saying instead, that lessons had been the key years. 3328 died in a hospital, died in a nursing home. they died. i'm the assistant director of

a group of over 5000 family members that lost their parent or loved one, just like i lost my dad in a long term care facility because of cobit governors, knowingly put a disease that was the most jed lead to senior citizens and with senior citizens, they may, they did it and we had no idea this was going on. this was done secretly, and they knowingly killed senior citizens. if this isn't a violation of civil rights, i don't know what is a violation of civil rights fighting. cold governor cuomo, the handling of depend on the gold standard, and i called the bite in administration, the gold standard of corruption. there was no excuse for this. and we want to find out why this investigation was stopped. it looks like a case of democrats covering for other democrats. they don't want to open the pandora's box. what could be underneath the surface? they know that that crimes were committed here. another news tonight,

a woman wearing a shiny head, t shirt and known as a prominent critic of islam has been slashed in the head and sent for london park. she had been showing her support for jernace surely had data, typical magazine whose office in paris was attacked by islamic fundamentalist back in 2015 from london, his e ceramic yesterday afternoon, as is customary here in hyde park speak is caught up. people are gathered to engage in debate they've been doing for the past 160 years or so. this is known as one of the course where freedom of speech is protected. despite perhaps being legislation, rules and other parts of the country. at least have people come to have robots, debate the truth, one of those debates or the discussions of faith. the police have said that they are now launching an investigation. they've recovered the weapon that was

used by what appears to be a young man in that attack. all those arrests haven't been made the police off calling for people not to jump to conclusions until they say they've established all the facts. i would of people not to speculate on the motive for the attack until we have established the full facts. now again, the lady was stopped at lowered in the park as being an anti is on a polemicist. somebody who takes part in debates with muslims in the park and of course was wearing the child. you have to shut out the time now because all minds back to 2015 when the officers of the saudi have the magazine were attacked in paris. the attack, which killed 12 people perhaps not sure. the people on edge with this latest incident, but many questioning why and the immediate off them off of it that was a little to no coverage in the local media, no mention of the attack. and when eventually it was picked up no mention of pop.

some of the details around the attack, including the fact that the lady in question the victim was wearing that shot. but as of today the media have begun covering get the police again. say that they're looking for that suspects and urgently want him to hand himself in anyone with any information come forward. the united states is offering a new explanation for why it's throwing its troops from afghanistan and says, it's now focusing on the biggest threats posed by russia and china. the long term risk is china. maybe the, the near term risk as russia. and we have to make sure that we focus our attention on those while america is pulling at after nearly 20 years of war in afghanistan, that as president biden claims us as achieve what he did intended to do. and he says, there's no need to continue risking american lives, but peace activists we spoke, he says, the u. s. has never left

a conflict without paving the way for another one. there is no growing threat or striking threat or threat of any sort from anywhere on earth to the us military, which is an expense almost equal to all the others put together. there was no threat from afghanistan 20 years ago. there is no threat from china today. and there is no threat from russia today. it is all absolutely propaganda. and the thing to do 20 years ago was to use the rule of law to prosecute the crimes, to seek the extradition of criminals, where there was justifiable grounds to pursue it, and not to launch a war. the u. s. has never in many, many years ended or even scaled back a war without making any grounds for escalating or starting a new war. because to do so would be to challenge the idea of war,

which is absolutely taboo. if not in comprehensible in u. s. society. the problem, of course, is that you're dealing with government in possession of huge numbers of nuclear weapons. and so there is actually a short term danger of the long term elimination of life on the planet from these games, their plane. meanwhile, there are reports that the advancing taliban beheaded in afghan translator. back in may. he was one of thousands of local interpreters. he worked for us forces and i fear persecution. we spoke to one translator whose identity we have disguised for his own safety for liberty of country, where people live and entice communities that have been interrupted with. the information was made by dave relatives. regardless of where you move, you cannot forget all your relatives, save us your information down the community for us as the information down because

we're working for the video americans will seen as a betrayal off the country out of time. so you can certainly change your phone number, but that's not going to help. moving houses will not help you because people know each other. it's a country with, you know, every single person in that street where you live. so it's quite easy to trace somebody and find them. it's quite easy. you would form the relative student home, the most square of the go to your you throw a night later at their home. so are quite different ways with these chapters i've been threatened. washington has now launched in opperation to support the relocation of afghan nationals who worked for the us. spanish will include $700.00 translators together with their families. but as the former interpreter just

pulling tact, many are still left behind. and the danger isn't over, especially for those who worked for other nato armies. this program is only for the all those local employed civilians who worked for the american forces. it doesn't include the metal countries, particularly one of the countries the united kingdom has failed to provide safety to their own local employer to civilians their friends to carry out their duty of care towards deps. early since the west has not only abandoned, the civilians who have with them, they have abandoned the port most the nation. the nation cited the western countries in this war against ours today, the western pacific,

literally the bigger countries, like united states, germany, france of runaway, and left the condition alone to face the total reason watching our international. i still ahead few this out. us parents are less than thrilled is that children start speaking with english accents after watching the counseling. peppa pig. well have a look at the story plus others just after the break. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah,

ah, i join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess on the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me the, the, the, the, the welcome back action is, has been plunged into a political crisis after the president sat,

the prime minister in suspended parliament, accusing them of mishandling the cobra pandemic. on top of that, the president dismissed the country's defense minister, and the acting justice minister was also stripping em, pays their immunity from prosecution. he said he would appoint a new prime minister in the coming hours, protest demanding snap elections. and somehow the objects of police responded to tear gas. several arrests were made in political am. this told us so that the people, it's not just about the pendant handling of the over 90 has been got this topic which made things worse. and it was almost like the last shore for years now, the situation is being going on from bad to worse. i think there is a lot of disappointment in the political belief and more. you have to know that, you know, the initial revolution was that by the young people, they believed in the revolution. the beginning, but the governance and namely,

more specifically in the government, has not deliberate since, you know, took the power. and the economic situation has gone. you know, come back to worse, and as i said, it was you, aggravated by the from that make. and also there is a feeling, a general feeling em all be from that, you know, the political elite is corrupt, which made you think, i guess much easier for the president to take the decision last night. so there is the strength and feeling that the people who goblin are not morally apt for that. ok, well less and on a lighter note, because a certain british cartoon peg has been causing trouble across the pond. american parents have been shocked to find that kids using british phrases and even speaking with english accents that after their children watched hours of peppa pig. you're not that the

never seen the alter watching. not little pig has you totally started calling you mummy. oh, i was going to go to the lou instead of the bathroom. you might ask why? well, that's thanks to peppa pig kids across the states have apparently started speaking with a british accent of the binge watching the program during lockdown. who would have thought that this little preschool picky could be set? influential? my daughter has what i would call the peppa pig british accent. how? i think my 5 year old niece in new york city had an american action before the pandemic. now she has a porsche english accent after spending a year at home watching peppa pig. oh yes. my daughter commonly uses words and phrases like said nav petrol. can i have a go tetra?

and for a christmas, i had to put out a freaking mince pie for, for the christmas, or is we call him here in the states? santa american kids watch so much peppa pig during a pandemic, that they developed british accents and started regularly using british words like holiday instead of the cation confusing their parents whatever next cause of it, your child wakes up and makes another cup of tea in the morning. for now, the pepper effect is just dominating young voices with kids adopting unusual to america vocabulary and a british accent. and this big claim to fame is that she's a 2nd moses dom on cartoon and us councils to find spongebob scrap. we just parents struggling to key pop us politicians seem to think that this piggy pandemic is another british takeover. we 4 rules that this wouldn't happen. oh, i remember the great battle over the british tongue, but it seems don't everyone thing. so that's

a key event in the history books. we fought wars over english accents. i'll never forget the battle over the q versus line controversy that turned into a world war when the color versus color atrocities were exposed. so kids wouldn't learn british pronunciations. i'm pretty sure the revolutionary war was about something slightly more than that. so it was so bad as saying your please and thank you. i think it's rather lovely, but i would, i wouldn't die being in the homeland of peppa pig international. thanks. be company tonight. don't forget it because a website for new stories too, you can find those at r t dot com the when alex seemed wrong when old free, just don't get to shape out the thing because the after

an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves, well, the part we choose to look for common ground in i haven't been in my no phone 6 months and i just saw up dollar format isis fighters, and they're now boarding a philippine naval ship. the whole $900.00 just aren't abdulla still don't know,

watch waiting for them and i am not sure how to get a hold of me . ready ready the who's mm . the obesity epidemic is the most important international health problem. mm. let me tell you though, i think we're sort of bissell and it's only thing. just the factory. it's

a man made tragedy. ah, earlier my life i thought that my weight was all my fault. i felt like a failure and frankly unworthy. ready and it took me awhile to really start question, believe and challenging those thoughts like well, are you really a failure? and the answer is no, i'm not. i'm not. but it took a while to get to the point. ah, obesity. a blob of our arrows fantasies caught in a web of prejudice. it prompts scolding for poor choices and accusations of laziness. unlimited genes provide an alibi. what it will be city where a collective failure not an individual one.
