me the ah, the tokyo olympics continue to make headlines out there till up. you asked jim, this is hale the hero for quitting to final. while female german competitors make a stand against sexism with their choice uniform. we debate what have already been done. the games are becoming overtly politicized, to retire. what needs to be just the vehicle for the latest 5 that comes along to different hill and picks. that's put it that way. everyone can pretend i'm enjoying it as much as i do. other olympics i have to say also coming up lithuania, faces an influx of illegal migrants, but of the authority there are we'll art measures to stem the flow that you fall

silent on the issue. also i had this hour and you may find the following footage disturbing part of. 6 the us see another police for let's see, for the camera with 2 officers in colorado charged after the violent arrest. the only suspected officer ah 247 news lie from the russian capital. this is our t pleasure to have your company today. you know? no, no, there's been more drama, the talk you will and takes after star us gymnast simone biles, sensationally pulled out of 2 finals events, considered one of the sports all time,

greatest athletes. mile said she was making the sacrifice to quote, focus on her mental health. and while some say she let down her teammates, when they needed her most, there's believe the move is the americans greatest achievement yet. i say put mental health 1st, because if you don't then you're not going to enjoy your sport and you're not going to succeed as much as you want to. so it's okay. sometimes the even set out the big competition to focus on yourself on tuesday doing the talk, your lympics individual, all around competition and women's gymnastics sim on biased one of the greatest athletes to ever grace the sport for time on the big champion. quite surprisingly, for many decided to withdraw from the, from the round, and eventually the russian team or r o c. if you may, 1 gold in that discipline. first, it was cited him on biles, decided to withdraw to medical reasons. then it became clear as cited by the

teams entourage and by, by ourselves that this was a mental health issue. it has created quite a whirlwind of reaction. there are those who are strongly accusing and abusing simone bias for withdrawing. that i would say spearheaded by pierce morgan, a famous u. k. tv host, who well just fell short of accusing some on violence of being a chicken and checking out on her team. and i saw something that serial winners do on mental health issues. now the go to excuse for any poor performance in elite sport. what a joke, just admit you did badly made mistakes and was try to do better next time. kids need strong role models, not best nonsense. obviously that has created huge responds online and even some mainstream media jumped in. and if you look at the language that some of these mainstream media, like washington post and many others used, you would think that simone biles actually won

a gold medal rather than pulling out from the competition. whenever biles pulls on her leotard, it's as though she's tighten in a cape around her neck. she's the hero tasked to save in a solid sport embodying some tried believe in american dominance, and also carry an agenda and an entire race. that's a heavy cape and it chokes. but it's one that exceptional black women and women of color are tall to wear because simply being great isn't good enough. for some reason, many of those media and bonded and commentators also decided to bring in her gender race into the story which is already creating another type of backlash because people cannot understand what is her decision to withdraw from one particular competition. something she has been preparing for for quite a while, because the lympics is quite important for any athlete in the world has to do with who she has, her skin color and things like that. so it's definitely creating

a major rift, and we have to wait and see where the simone biles decides to continue in this lympics. i see that a 4 time champion in the land base already. and obviously all eyes are on her in the u. s. thinking that she could win more, she went on instagram recently just saying how much of that weight on her shoulder is being hard on her. and may be this rift with such reactions coming from both sides would create even more pressure for the 24 year old gymnast with a very difficult boss. well, besides mental health, the games of also throw in a spot likes on a ledge, sexism little attempt to butler german gymnast. i've chosen to wear a full body unit towards, instead of the more traditional bikini cut leo towards the decision was made to protest to suppose that sexualization of athlete, my colleague, roy sushi, discuss the increasing attention being paid up at tokyo olympics to none sporting

issues with a panel of guests this whole issue of uniform and the sexualization of women has to go quite soon and it can be so very simply, he just say here the uniformed men and women, no different, any sport that tries to segregate male and female on the basis of uniform is really back in the 20th century. one of the biggest things about the elliptic pattern and your skills isn't actually and what you're judging, not charging the uniform and what, what people don't realize this explanation of women when they can be very self conscious. when wearing we're beating clothing, which might actually performance. so really if we really care about the school and the athletes and then we should allow them to feel confident in what they are wearing. doing a bit of a problem be on the one hand, the olympics is designs extolled, abuse in the perfection of the human body operating at peak efficiency. so it's there to be admired. all the other hand, we have contributed lympics,

who may feel uncomfortable with that being a limb. in particular, maybe there's a case for some element of choice, but at the same time we don't want to lose the essence of what they're lympics is mental health issue of simone biles. she withdrew. i mean it's not coming up very, very difficult decision for gigi think perhaps she's set an example by doing this is a topic has had such as the years and only recently that people have mental health . and i think the limits of the past examples why not expect i really feel that, especially in lincoln they, they, they, they really try to years and years and they carry their contra shoulders is okay. have to be okay. i have mental health, i'm not going to be able to call the fact that she has withdrawn has both further attention to her. i mean, if she's sort of quietly underperformed and perhaps explained to the media that, you know, this is just one of those events. you can't be at her peak all the time and then

quietly slipped away fine, but she really made an announcement him put mental health health back on the map again. so the importance of mental health issue obviously shouldn't be underestimated about perhaps putting the flat onto the lympics as well as perhaps too much is a sporting event. it should be kept as a sporting event. if one is not ready for it, when really shouldn't, shouldn't be there. you can only find out sometimes, but you're not ready for it. when you're there already, are you afraid perhaps that non sport issues or political ones in particular for example, that could become main talking points in the future olympics? no, i'm not worried. i think it's a great opportunity. we seen so many changes already, and i'm not worried, i still feel like eventually it will kind of not 5 down, but you respect, respect. and i'm happy to different lympics. let's put it that way. it's an a everyone watching on tv and watching, you know,

68 tests and see the stadium with everything they can comb. pretend i'm enjoying it as much as i do. other olympics i have to say, well it should be confirmed because we don't want to be just a vehicle for the latest. 5 that comes along. lympics should represent social moles as they change, but any room has its own central brand. it needs to keep, continue to keep that wow fight so that we have when we see the olympics of it with their own specific procedures and, and, and habits and ways. and that's the beauty olympics. that's what we want to say. we don't want to make it to the temporary to trans units, and just this way, following statement. almost 200 to legal border crossings in one day. that is what let you in it is currently facing the total number of detained migrants as dramatically spike to 3000 this summer in the european nation . and while the list has been denied for bringing and drastic measures to stem the

flow ortiz, charlotte dubin ski has been looking at the used position on the issue, has dramatically changed. european union state fed full all supposed to be partners. however, for some countries being in the gang seems of more benefits than others have a current situation in a way which is struggling at the moment with an influx of migrant. difficult times call for difficult decisions. this will drastically change the way you immigration policy. it includes the tension of migrant a bond on the release of those who are in detention for 6 level. they will be no right to a translator to obtain information about the toilet process. they will also curb the right to appeal decisions and to allow for deportation. while lose appeals of

being examined, do whatever it takes to absolutely ensure that only people who are persecuted for political reasons and have a good ground to look for a political shells. essay here has been created specifically to deal with migrant coming over from neighboring batteries. lithuania and you accuse, minutes could be using them as a political tool, as relations continue to sour. but critics say the law is a step to fall. the law is a potential human rights violation and it doesn't correspond to you directives, it and tries the current bad situation in lithia and in detention centers in law and lives vulnerable people in and even more vulnerable situation. there we even criticism from lithuania, form a chair of the constitutional court. the proposals which are unconstitutional are based on the promise that all foreigners who cross the border are 2nd class human

beings not entitled to constitutional rights conditions in the mass detention centers have also been denounced with allegations. my grants are being stripped to fact telephones that they can only got signed for one hour a day. pressure that some say has led to people attempting to take that law. everyone detained in this building is suffering psychologically. i already ran away from iraq since it's a prison, it is the same here clean. while lithuania is embarking on a massive project to keep wouldn't be migrant out. it plans to cover almost the entirety of its food with batteries, with a breeze wire. so what do you think? let you in years border is an external you border which is currently experiencing an unprecedented influx of migrants and asylum seekers. these people,

many of them vulnerable need urgent support, such as food and shelter. the european union of the member states will not please let us alone in this difficult situation. sounds very supportive, doesn't it? except when another human hungry took a similar action, only use external border with serbia. following a wave of migration in 2015, the tone from brussels couldn't be any more different. last year, the years taught court found hungry, guilty of breaking a sign. the rule says it soon mashed up the lose or protecting vulnerable migrants by denying them the right to apply for asylum and by forcibly to putting them. meanwhile, as other states, such as greece, also look to build rules only use external border to keep migrant out. brussels have so much as batted an eyelid, leading some to feel that in the you know,

all partnerships are indeed equal. now another dell of police brutality has been caught on camera in the us. 2 officers have been charged over the violent arrest of an armed mixed race mom and warning. you may find the following video disturbing doc ho her. 6 her with your hands on friday of your police officers identified the suspect. kyle vincent, who was wanted by authorities for several offences after supposedly resisting arrest wall of the officers, choked the man and hit him in the head and face with his gun. every vinson was then taken to hospital only the officers of questioning has been charged with the use of the aurora police chief strongly condemned their conduct right now. of course, this is not police work. does not police work?

we don't train this, not acceptable. nothing justifiable from the police officers actions. you use the force necessary to an effect in a rust. you keep yourself safe to keep the citizen safe and you actually keep the person the you're arresting safe. the job of the police officer, the street cop is not to punish. that's the job of the courts to wind up dishing out a punishment for conviction. if so, well we have is we have police officers who are not being backed by their department, not being properly trained. and their emotions are letting them get the best of them. that's usually what you see. and then against what we saw in colorado, that was a 100 percent. okay, that stay in the us now chicago mer, laurie lightfoot, say's she isn't sorry for her decision to give interviews only to non white reporters gothic those triggered much needed debate. i would absolutely do it again. i'm in a paula judge about it because it's per

a very important conversation. the conversation that needed to happen that should have happened a long time ago of the meryl. so is said to me here conferences are dominated by white reporters, stating it's time article, it's better reflect the makeup of american society for that. she's being sued over her stance by a reporter for the daily caller, who argues she's violating basic principles of freedom of the particular on hyphenated americas christopher horace believes the race card is being used to distract people from policy writing polling people, look agenda is nothing more than smoking mirrors as a smoke screen, just to distract people from all the other things that are taking place. it's a poxy. we can just run on down the line, all the people out there, whether it's the elected officials like laurie lightfoot, or other people in the media who are out there trying to gin up race wars and all that is a slight of hand to try to,

to do just to distract you from the things that are not working with their public policies and look at the results. the black community or somebody say, the african american community is one of the ones that suffers the most by continuing to vote for people like laurie lightfoot. in for the party that she represents, because it just leads to more swirling around the toilet. that's essentially what ends up happening in the black community. president biden has accused moscow of already interfering and next years, mid term elections in the u. s. maya mis information the kremlin, rejected the claim, saying it has not meddled in any your selection will not involve r, t. starsky. taylor has spoken to the well known american evangelist, franklin graham, who's given counsel to several us present, and he shared his thoughts on a whole range of issues, including the current state of relations between washington and moscow.

the relations between our 2 countries is the lowest has been maybe since the cold war. and i find this very troubling. we have so much in common with russia with the russian people. and we need to find ways to work together. it doesn't mean that we have to agree on everything, but we need to be working together and talking together and listening to one another is so important. there's when you look at the needs of the world with american russia working together, i think we can help solve so many of the problems. i think, i think starting relationships with people themselves is extremely important. encouraged the president, trump every time us with him to try to work with russia. the problem we had is the media turned on president wrong. they gave out false

information on president trump accused russia interfering with elections and these types of things. and it just divided our country and made it almost possible impossible for president trump to do anything if you take in my country, be funding the police. okay. seattle. they found the police department and the mayor would not support the police department. and this few days ago, they had a number of shootings and murders and, and the american is now asking for more police. okay. well, that's a little late. but yes, this is woke. culture is gone too far. when like with george floyd and my heart was broken when i,

when i watched them and when they said i came breathe and the police officer just ignored him. it just broke my heart. but there are tens of thousands of policemen that are wonderful men and women that do their job every day that risk their lives to protect the men and women of the streets and times of the way the youth saying how the u. s. act when you came in 2015, i think you also posed in front of a map of russia, which nowadays counts as collusion. you are very brave man, but you also during that visit met with russian politicians at least one that i know is under us. sanctions did not have any repercussions. how's that received? i don't believe the sanctions. i think the sanctions heard. i don't think the sanctions do anything that make people more mad and i look at sanctions that we put on other countries around the world and it's usually other people that get hurt. the smaller people get hurt and i would,

i would lift those sanctions unless get on the business. protests have a ruptured in realm over plans to extend so named vaccine passports for entry to venues including restaurants, djinns and cinemas. the . i don't know if you've done it, but this is a non mentionable situation. no one can understand it. imagine a client who has been visiting for 10 years and wants to come inside. and i have to

say that he cannot do it because he's not fascinated. the client is afraid of getting a job because what should i do? it's not clear. there is no freedom of choice. nobody is denying the cold. it exists. we're not exercise. we just want to get our freedom back. freedom of movement, freedom of business, and above all, freedom of medical treatment. well, the idea is that the health passes will service proof that visitors have either been vaccinated under on a recent negative cove at 19 test or recovered from the virus. business owners are expected to enforce the rules are face fights. meanwhile, in may, the nation of some, marino which is surrounded by italy, began offering the russians, but the v vaccine to people. but as the job isn't recognized in the you, it means people won't be able to travel freely to athlete the mirror of the italian simply neighboring sun. marino hopes for a diplomatic solution to the situation

a face. but it's quite clear that you are the rockers, the political agenda responsible. russia has guarantee that his vaccine is just as good as the others deserves to be. evaluate, have sally. there are people in italy like they started to get splitting the of their own accord. these people do not choose which job to get. so when a person goes to get inoculated, you receive a vaccine which was approved by the italian health system. suddenly the health department chose to use it because italy didn't get doses of other vaccines. that's why i think that the situation should be changed, at least by august. the 6th, that's why this situation is so counter intuitive and in my view, very dangerous. i remain optimistic and hope a diplomatic decision will be taken between now and august. the sick for if there is no diplomatic solution, we will all face certain difficulties. sputnik v should have been approved several months ago. we need to expedite this process without mixing science and politics.

countries across the middle east and north africa are buckling under a growing number of problems. water is scar, city being one of them in lebanon. it's some other verge and see with unicef, calling for immediate action as millions their risk losing access to clean water. in just a matter of weeks, we heard from the u. n's representative in the nation. well, the utility companies in lebanon approximately would have between 4 to 6 weeks before they actually shut down altogether. were extremely concerned that due to the economic crisis, which expiring out of control, that this is not going to affect the very essential water supplies for 4000000 people in the country. and the deterioration of the crisis have really accelerated in the past 12 months to a point where now even basic, essential experimental, fair part, consumable even flooring,

actually make sure that the water is safe to drink. even that is often no, no longer available for the utility companies. will unicef estimates that water fees could shoot off by 200 percent a month due to the shortage this meaning that vulnerable families will be unable to meet the most basic need? local reporter linda to mean got a 1st time to kind of the unfolding situation. one of lebanon's main cities. i'm standing inside in lebanon, 2nd largest city. and according to what i was told, the water outages here are even worse than they are. and i'm just about to meet with a resident here just like it's all about the facing with the families when it comes to water out. most of her and her family have been suffering from severe outages throughout the summer. sometimes they go for days without a single drop of water. we have several water bills to pay what we get. so we need

to get extra supplies. if there's no electricity of fuel for generated from water, we can have a week long outages. it's very difficult, especially in the summer we already have so much to deal with. we are very tired of extra tanks often filled up by private water. companies have been springing up on roofs. all oversight and water has become so precious. in fact, that people have started locking their tanks out of fear that neighbors might steal from them. most families here inside and used to require just one water tank like those that you can see right behind me. but now there are not enough still at least 4 tanks are required for household. and it's important to note that each of those tanks needs at least 6 hours of electricity or generator in order to pump that water, all the way up and fill up those tanks. but now with a few crisis and the power outages that live on is constantly facing. most of these

tanks do not fill up. the un is already raising the alarm. seeing that the country's water system is on the brink of collapse, and that's the mid, the ongoing political and financial crisis. the one that the world bank has already described as likely to be among the top 3 most severe financial crises in the world . since $850.00 basic necessities such as medicine, fuel and electricity have been scarce in recent weeks and with water prices increasing at an alarming rate. families have been rushing to secure alternative supplies with new real solution in sight. many may soon be forced to compromise on their personal hygiene to save water, which begs the question of whether lebanon can avoid the potential public health catastrophe looming on the horizon. linda to me and giving us a sense of what is happening in $11.00 how thursdays, news roundup is looking for. but don't go too far as we've got another great program ready and waiting to hit your screens in moments by

the algorithm. so neural networks have been following us every where we look online, because our relationships are what matters most of us. and that's how we find meaning and how we make sense in our place in silicon valley see, don't mention in the slick presentations. however, i think ghost workers who train the software humans are involved in every step of the process when you're using anything online. but we're sold as this miracle of automation behind your screen. it's available work force that seems algorithm is for next to nothing. on a very good day to do $5.00. now a really bad day. i could do 10 years workers removeable by design. it's about

labor costs, but it's also about creating layers of watson, a responsibility between those who solicit the kind of work and need it. and those who do it when i would show the wrong one, i'll just don't rule 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 the who's

ah, it is no longer a crime and only transmit a disease. in one us state. we're going to give you the details on a new bill which passed the governor or the state governor wants to modernize the approach to public health. but does it do anything to encourage testing and reduce the spread of h i v and in texas, governor abbot is not activated the texas national guard to help make a rest of the border. but will more manpower be the resolution. we're going to bring you the $360.00 view on both issues on today's news. you choose. i'm getting now huge right here on our to america. let's get started.
