the that was me. ready ready i would 19 restrictions on mandatory path and sparks curious rally to freedom around the world from bo medics to argue that the risks with the virus still need to be you have to balance personal choice with what's good for the most people at the end of the day like it's a balance of ratings. you can't wrap people up and caution will pull me while the u . s. was investigate new york state's handling. it's a cove it crisis in care homes, despite accusations of deliberately under counting death. we hear from grieving families, and it's the us led coalition,

poolside cabanas done translate and work for foreign troops. they fit that live down to being targeted by the taliban country where you know, the person members, which it's quite easy to find them. ah, hello there, you sco midnight here in moscow. you're watching r t international. now thousands have rallied world wide 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

ah well the biggest rallies are in front the moment where more than 160000 turned over the weekend for president mac cronies, calling on people to think of others and to give up a personal liberties your peddling couldn't be best in existence. i know freedom exists without duty, the freedom where i owe nothing to any one does not exist. it's a fiction ally. people seldom tell them my freedom only and where the freedom of the other began women, but the whole it is based on a sense of reciprocal duty. what is your freedom worth? if you say to me, i don't want to be vaccinated, but if tomorrow you in fact your father is that if that have on file now, glove with us at the full, often you can get cases in front spiked more than 20000 in a single day. the rules have come into force, meaning anybody wants to go to

a crowded public area must present a clean bill of health. now across the channel in britain, figures are fooling well. they remain high at around 30000 cases. a day. they're off is though that that daily number will increase again after england removed most of its restrictions recently. still some they feel that their freedoms aren't being respected as murdered against. yes. explain. it would be impossible to sum up what these protests were about in britain in france, easily, greece is 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 were todd todd and angry. the

i 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 variant so much will contagious is making the rounds . and that is what her st need is for example, latched onto cooling protesters. morons. in relation to yesterday's pro chase. i cannot say how absolutely disgusted i was. it broke my heart,

millions and millions of people across the sky to doing the right thing. and it just broke my heart, the people had such a disregard that they feel like 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 immune for morons as well. except of course, it isn't that simple. people are weary. they offered teague to buy this pandemic. the bad news, the, the locked down, the oscillation all over the world. in that respect, we're all the same. people yearn for freedoms and equality, osha and we are not against vaccines as they claim. and this is not an explanation movement. these i think in people who want freedom has after them. i believe that this is an attack on fundamental freedoms. in france, there is a law saying medical procedures cannot be forced while since 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 are no longer have freedom of choice as we mr. bathing. which in my opinion is to run a cold on absolutely legitimate public who are taishan moved into anger, even rage and even lunacy. i try but not i 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 repeat and for was that those freedoms can be

suspended. ramon to come from the world is facing a 4th wave when we must act. and 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 banks. and in 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 down, governments implement the very best we can hope for all civility and perseverance, which will probably require protest, this to refrain from trying to hang doctors and officials to defeat from cooling. moved is more audience nord gas, the affair. when we did discuss the balance between freedoms, am risk to society with medical experts, people are absolutely furious. the democracies are being turned into dictatorships

. i think it's really important the government in the west realized that govern with the mandate of the people. and i think changing the gulf, i keep 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 strength of ours. the whole point of the vaccination role was to ensure that we protected the elderly and the phone. 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 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 wrap people up in costs will fall under some point, we have to say, and i think the actually we have on last week from a huge number of population we are achieving how to immunity. i'm afraid i agree with the protest this. i never thought in the united kingdom in a host was u. k. we be off the show papers to go to the cinema to get 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 man they don't wish to be vaccinated, and therefore they don't like the passports either. so they would just like to

ignore the coding 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 in the cobra positive, but i'm all in favor of people being fascinated. meanwhile, the us justice department will not investigate new york state handling of the case with crisis in nursing homes. the 9th and came in a letter to republican lawmakers and his rage, the families of victims. cowards, you cowards, 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 almo, how his tone change. you know, he seems so sympathetic now because he's off. he's fat free. i'll tell you about the life the lights have been going on for years. my mother's been tripping and

falling in that nursing home for a year. 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 live lives are always there almost thing that he wants to help and not letting me be lied to. we've been lied to and we're going to continue to live too, because just that's the way that's the way in your function. 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 bill gently and we have no answers. we still have no answers. we still continue to fight and we're just heartbroken and how can the whereas the justice for us, where's the justice for our family? it's nowhere. it's nowhere. we will continue to where new york governor andrew cuomo is accused of hiding the number of corona vars related deaths in nursing

homes to make the state look more successful in its handling of the pandemic. and critics to say that facilities, they were forced to take recovering coded patients from hospitals, even if they may have been contagious. the original dest numbers revealed in january, were subsequently revised, and almost double, just a month later. so the justice department's decision now not to investigate how strong i cry from the republicans who do claim that the biden administration is simply letting democratic party governor's off the hook. republicans accuse joe biden and being complicit in the scandal, adding that new yorkers do deserve answers and also accountability. the states governor eventually confirmed the discrepancy but stopped short of issuing an apology, saying instead, the lessons had been left behind 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 math dated 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? called governor cuomo, the handling of depend on the gold standard. and i called the bite in ministration . 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 of what could be underneath the surface. they know that that crimes

were committed here. nobody's tonight, the united states is offering a new explanation for why it's been throwing its troops from afghanistan and says, it's not 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 knows what america is pulling it off to nearly 20 years of war in afghanistan as president biden claims. the u. s. has a cheap what it intend to do and he says there's no need to continue risking american lives, but at peace activists. we spoke to says the u. s. is never left the 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. or 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 governments 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 they're playing. and i mean while burn reports that the advancing taliban beheaded in afghan translator, in may, he was one of thousands of local interpreters who worked for us forces and i fear persecution. we spoke to one translator whose identity we have disguised for his own safety phones. i can go over to the country where people live and, and type communities that have been interrupted with their 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 at a 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. so 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 quite easy. you are from the relative student's home, the more square they go to you, you throw a night later their home. so are quite different ways with these except us, i've been threatened. washington has no launching operation to support the relocation of afghan nationals who worked for the us. the 1st span will include $700.00 translators, together with their families. but as the former interpreter at this point, tact many are still left behind. and the danger isn't over, especially for those who work for other nato armies. this program is only for the all those local employed, civilian, so who would be american forces?

it doesn't include the metal countries, particularly one of the countries her, the united kingdom has failed to provide safety to their own locally employed civilians. their friend who carry out their duty of care towards too early . since the west has not only abandoned the civilians who have with them, they have abandoned the fort most. the commission, the nation, cited the western countries in this war against ours. today, the western impressed that they can literally be the bigger countries, like united states, joe made from a runaway and left the nation alone to face the total reason watching out in nashville, come to the us parents. a lesson thrilled is that children start speaking with

english accidents after watching the british carson, peppa, pig. we'll have to get that story process this just after the join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me long long when i would show the wrong. when all just don't. i mean you? yes, to see out the thing because the after an engagement, it was the trail when so many find themselves worlds apart and we

choose to look for common ground in all of you out there that regret not being around the soviet union at the time when they are collapse, you know, a lot of people understand you about that. lot of interesting things. matt time was there writing in the journal. anyway, they get to have that experience today right here in the good old usa the welcome back connection is here, has been plunged into a political crisis after the president sat in the prime minister and suspended parliament, accusing them of miss handling the co pandemic on top of that, the president dismissed the country's defense minister on the acting justice minister, while also stripping m pays of better immunity. from prosecution you said he would appoint new prime minister in the coming hours like protest is demanding snap

collections. somehow the objects of police responded with tear gas and several arrests were made in political land is told us the upheaval though isn't just about the pending handling of the over 90 has been at the topic which made things worse. and it was almost like the last shore for years now, the situation being going on from bad to worse, i think there is a lot of disappointment in the leaf and more you have to know that unit the can is a revolution was that by the young people they believed in the revolution beginning, but the government, namely, more specifically for the government, has not delivered to the power. and the economic situation has gone, you know, some back to worse. and as i said before, you're aggravated by the make. and also there is

a feeling your general feeling and will be from that. as you know, the political elite is corrupt, which made, you know, i guess much easier for the president to take the decision last night. so there is the strengthened feeling that the people who goblin are not morally kept for that. okay, well, let's finish on a lighter note because a certain british cartoon peg has been causing trouble across the pond. american parents have been shocked. they say to find that their kids using british phrases and even speaking with english actions at, after their children watched hours of peppa pig during locked down the ever seen the like the all the watching that little pig has. you told me i started calling you mommy or asking 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 a pallet. they started speaking with a british accent after binge watching the program during locked down. 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 may i be? my 5 year old niece in new york city had an american accent before the pandemic. now she has a passion, english accent, after spending a year at home watching peppa, pig. oh, yes. my daughter, commonly used words and phrases like said, nancy petro. can i have a go, et cetera. and for a christmas i had to put out a freaking mince pie for father christmas, or as 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 vacation. confusing their parents or whatever next possible. 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 american vocabulary and a british accent. and this big claim to fame is that she's a 2nd moses of on cartoon in us household just fine spongebob wrap time. when you look just parents struggling to keep up us politicians seem to think that this piggy pandemic is another british takeover we for rule. so this wouldn't happen. oh, i remember the great battle over the british tongue. they 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 que 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 to saying your please, and thank you. i think it's rather lovely, but i would, i wouldn't time being in the homeland of peppa pig international. thanks for the company tonight. we'll be back to the headlines and more stories in just ira. often, me look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, accept where's the shorter that conflict with the 1st law show your identification . we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously is to great truck rather than fear take on various

jobs with artificial intelligence real summoning with demon a robot most protect this foam existence as i get ministration tells us, the world dates is to start choice between democracy and authoritarianism. business make any sense. the balance of power in the world system is moving to multicultural and is not defined by audiological preferences the, the, the

with i'm action or attention. and you're watching a special episode of going underground, looking at privacy war colonialism in pandemic through the lens of the world's largest democracy. india is allegations of spying on political opponents rocker the moody government, after the so called pegasus leaks and join now by one of india's most famous politicians and intellectuals, former under secretary general of the un stretching through which is discuss what the accusations against israeli spyware firm and assuming for indian global democracy, thank you so much for coming back on before we get to the spying allegations. how are you? i understand that you're recovering from co video in the hospital for a short time. i mean, a you okay. i know that the per capita rate is much worse here in britain than in india. that's right. no, it wasn't pleasant. i had what they call a long code and those a complication of something called induce vitamin bio cars,

which gave me a wrong key outrage. sort of it would go down to 30 some warnings and chewed up $220.00 under a couple of was nature. so that was the reason. yeah, it was the challenge, but apparently it's not known in cases of covalent after a while into the rex itself, which it seems to be in the process of doing because i've been back. i know we're scheduled for about 10 days and i, i'm not feeling particularly particular the arabic. so let's say that these are going. all right, so and you've been double vaccinated. i mean, how long the doctor saying this last? because obviously if other people watching this want to know as well, well, i mean, you know, the thing about long of it is you never know who it is and i can reach. and once it hits, you never really know how long it can last. so there's no question that as far as my own case is concerned,

i was logical operation out of bed for about 22 months, maybe even 2 and a half. there are people who, as long as 6 or 8 months off to be attacked by the virus, have actually complained about cheating, for example, a stream. so t, you believe the double vaccination helped? i think it could have been much worse without so i'm strongly advocating vaccination for everybody. in my case, i've just taken the 2nd vaccine less than a week before symptoms, a bit of coverage. so it's possible that the 2nd vaccine didn't really have time to do its work in the body and generate the necessary antibodies. but having said that, there's no question that it could have been very much watch and that if it went to the vaccination, who knows where i'd be sitting and talking to you today to go out and vaccinate people that you are watching. well, you certainly have been politically active in the past few days,

the chairman of the information technology standing committee there in india. what have you made of the allegations that the moody government has been using this in israeli intelligence surveillance software on congress party politicians? well, it's in general, the serious charge, of course, because you know, the, the software according to the company that retails and it is only available to, to governments there. and we sell it to governance what they call better governance on the basis of care. and from the israeli government, it's obviously very serious to have meant to be used to track criminals and terrorists. they say whether it's been deployed against domestic political opponents. it's gross misuse of dec spend money for one thing. and it's also illegal in terms of the law because we do permit interception by law and also intersection of communications. but these are only.
