monetary chaos, the ah sporting hero all week world in the face of adversity. opinions divided over to us, driven us to quit, to olympic, finals of a mental health concerns. well, german competitors in turkey make a stand against sexism. debated already been done. the woke games are becoming increasingly dominated by politics as well. i think it's a great opportunity. we see so many changes. we're ready. i'm not where we should be confirmed because we don't want to be just the vehicle for the latest 5 that comes along. if you alias tackling an influx of illegal migrants, but as the 13th we allow measures to stem the flow di you fall silent on the issue

of the same time, slamming other states. a similar actions also had this hour. and you might find these pictures, disturbing. florida oh. 6 you know, it is stacy's. another active police brutality caught on camera with 2 officers in colorado charge after the violence arrest of a suspected trespass. wanted on felony charge, use the use thanks for joining us. this is our t international. there's been more drama, the tokyo olympics, us gymnast simone biases, sensationally pulled out of another final her 2nd in a matter of days, considered one of the sports all time greats. paul said that she was making the move to quote, focus on her mental health. and while some observer say that the movies are

greatest achievement yet of the school that the athlete let her teammates down when they needed most. i say mental health 1st, because if you don't, then you're not going to enjoy your spore 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 simone, bias one of the greatest athletes to ever grace the sport for time when they became being 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 us simone 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 reactions thereof. those who are strongly accusing and abusing simone bio for withdrawing that i would say spearheaded by piers morgan, a famous u. k. tv host, who well just fell short of accusing someone 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 was a joke. just admit you did badly made mistakes and was trying to do better next time. kids need strong role models, not this 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 mentioned media like washington, both to many out of 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 carrying 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 agenda her 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 sees it for time, a champion in the olympics 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 rick, with such reactions, coming from both sides would create even more pressure for the 24 year old gymnast with a very difficult boss. and my colleague reshay, discuss these developments with a panel of guests mental health issue of simone biles. she withdrew. i mean, this must be the very, very difficult decision for gigi think perhaps she's set an example by doing this is a topic has to be over the years. and only recently are we talking to people with mental health. and i think the limits of the past examples, why not expect i really feel that, especially in, in kids they, they, they, they really try to years and years and they carry their cancer. shoulders is okay,

have to be okay. i have mental health, i'm not going to be able to perform 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 has 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. but perhaps putting that on to 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. we're going to move you on line, including this space questioning the meaning of brave and modern sports. a big talking point over the past few days as we've been hearing, read all about say that

r c dot com. meantime, german gymnast have chosen to a full body unit. all just sort of the more traditional bikini cut leotard. the decision was made to protest the supposed sexualization of athletes and also found to move an important step towards the quality of the site. it's just another case of trying to make sport political. so what does the panel think about the increasing attention being paid at the games to non sporting matters? 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 pattern and your scale, it doesn't actually, and that's what you're judging, not charging the uniform and what, what people don't realize the sexualization of women will make me very self

conscious when wearing. we're beating clothing which my actually performance. so really, if you really care about the school and the police and the girl who should allow them to feel confident in what they wearing doing a bit of a problem be on the one hand the olympics is designed to extol, abuse in the perfection of the human body operating at peak efficiency, so it's there to be admired. while the other hand, we have contributed silly things, who may feel uncomfortable with that being live 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. 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've seen so many changes already. i'm not worried, i still feel like eventually it will kind of not 5 down, but we will respect respect for now. i'm happy to different lympics. that's pretty

that way. it's an a everyone watching on tv and watching, you know, 68 tests and say to stadium with every seat they can 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 roles as they changed, but a nice room has its own central brand. it needs to keep continuing to keep that. wow. right. so that we have, when we see the olympics are, they were 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. yeah. and just this waveform insane. must 200 illegal border crossings in a single day. and that's what lithuania is currently facing. the total number of detain migrants dramatically spiking to $3000.00 this summer and the european nation. and while village has been denounced for bringing drastic measures to sun,

the flow of the show demons, he's been looking at how the position on the issue has dramatically changed your opinion. stay said full, all supposed to be cool partners. however, for some countries being in the gang seems of more benefits done. but others have a current situation in this way, which is going 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 new, right to a translator, to obtain information about the 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 shelter stay here. has been created specifically to deal with my goodness, coming over from neighboring batteries. it's awaiting you and you accuse minutes of using them as a political to 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 the way news 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 must detention

centers have also been denounced with allegations, the migrants have 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 the law. i have everyone detained in this building is suffering psychologically. i already ran away from iraq, since it's a prison, it is the same here. meanwhile, lithuania is embarking on a massive project to keep wouldn't be migrant. plans to cover almost the entirety of its food with valerie would raise a wire. so what do you think? let you and use 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 and other member states will not leave

with you and you're alone in this difficult situation. sounds very supportive, doesn't it? except one another in 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. we cannot accept the basic values of the european union, a being so seriously breached any one like hungry who built fences against war, refugees, or breaches. press freedom and the independence of the justice system should be temporarily or permanently excluded from the you plus the in your top court, found hungry, guilty of breaking, assign the rules. it says it's mashed up the lose or protecting vulnerable migrant by denying them the right to apply for asylum and by forcibly to putting them. meanwhile, as you state,

such as greece also look to build rules only use external border to keep my grants out. russell's haven't so much as batted an eyelid, leading some to feel that in the, you know, partnerships are indeed equal. another act of police brutality has been caught on camera in the united states to offices in colorado. been charged over the violent arrest of an unarmed mixed race man, and i must warn you. you may find this video disturbing. oh, what do i know? i do put your hands out for you. okay. don't stop it all. oh. 6 don't on the police officers identified the suspect calls and sinners being wanted by authorities for several offences of the 2 of them in flood, mister vincent appeared to initially comply with the commands during the arrest, but resisted while being handcuffed and he was subsequently chokes,

horse faced down on the ground and pistol whipped by an officer, and since was vinson was then taken to hospital requiring treatment. nope, this in question have been jaws with use of excessive force. the rural police chief is strongly condemned. conduct. does not police work. we don't train this, not acceptable. the definition of police were jelly is itself is a problem. you weren't you, 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 you're arresting safe. the job of the police officer, the street car is not the punish. that's the job of the courts. so white edition, not a punishment for conviction. if so, if a police officer was aware, as was in the case of derek sheldon, that he was being video camera right. your body cameras recording you and they were this comfortable with their actions. there is a serious epidemic, a serious problem. and then police officers,

history needs to be looked into. we need to look at how many other times that person been accused, or have they taken excessive force beyond the level of what they were lawfully around the allowed to use. because if somebody feels this comfortable to get this out of control on video camera guarantee is that the 1st time they've done this. as an incident like us defined, the police movement is not properly communicated to the public de, from the police moment is a political card. it's what the politicians are using to wind up bolstering your base for more voting. it really just removes programs funding for certain areas for police officers. we've been discussing the issue of policing in america with renown, us evangelists, franklin gray, and who's given counsel to several american presidents. he also shared his thoughts on other issues, including the current state of relations between washington and moscow. 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 i said i came breeze and a police officer just ignoring 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 how would lift those sanctions unless get on the business? 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. encourage the president, trump over 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 since the come, the taps threatened to run dry and lebanon with the us warning, millions of lives that are at risk because the water shortages will bring him or

not after the break, the what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even from station let it be an arms race is on, often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk this is your media a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safe for tyson lation community?

are you going the right way or are you being somewhere direct? what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths. will remain in the shallows. ah, in the back is stepping up. the fights against online offences rushes become the 1st country to present a draft convention on countering cyber crime. for a special you and committee, the move was announced by the prosecutor general's office. get more on this from ortiz donald course, his fin across the story for us. it's intriguing sounds a little bit complicated. what's going on? well, like you said, it's

a draft convention aimed at combating the criminal use of technological and communication, communications and information technology around the world. like you said, rush has become the 1st country ever to suggest something like this to suggest a properly thought out convention against the international cyber crimes, to the united nations. and it was announced by the russian prosecutor general, you said as well. so let's take listen to what he said. the project expands, the scope of international cooperation and extradition and legal assistance in criminal matters, including identification, seizure, confiscation, and recovery of assets. the russian federation offers the world, its own developments which could become the basis for a future comprehensive instrument considering the policies of states around the world. lot of official speak that, but we know cyber crime is a big problem and maybe it's actually starting to affect the everyday person more than it you stay with increased internet use. why will this convention be significant? well, it's quite simple. i mean,

there is no international universal system in place aimed at combating the cyber crimes. that's why this convention could really be groundbreaking, if it's applied. it could completely alter the current state of inconsistency in which different countries have different methods and standards in terms of their, their combating cyber crimes. and it could also put an end to press procrastination, you know, like countries that are necessarily doing enough to struggle with cyber security on an international level. i mean, how will this all be accomplished? well, the convention specifically grapples with modern challenges connected to cybersecurity out it outlines, it outlines all new types of offenses that are connected with the distribution of fake medicines, drug trafficking, and other harmful substances around the world that can be distributed through means connected to technology and work on this final project to set to be completed in 2023. and that will actually be during the 78th session of the un general assembly

. so it will be something monumental. you know, given the article case, russia have tried to interfere in the presidential elections, viral line mains, effectively side domains. the harmony seems incredibly thick of any cooperation between the 2 countries that don't get on well, the best of times, it's not likely cooperation. well, cybersecurity, we've already is definitely one of the main goals of us. president joe biden said ministration. we've already seen that he's combined this focus though with the tradition of his predecessors, which is pointing the finger at russia without any evidence. you know, to back these accusations, one example is that in may, he accused russia of bearing, quote, some responsibility for a cyber attack on the u. s. colonial fuel pipeline. he also did admit though, that there was no evidence to back that up. but it is important to note on the, the idea of cooperation between the 2 countries. we would have to go back to what

we saw on july 28th of the geneva meeting between russian president vladimir putin and joe biden. the 2 leaders spoke many times about the threats of cybersecurity and the possibility of new controls on nuclear weapons. and we specifically heard from russia's, deputy foreign minister who said russia specifically specifically is looking for constructive dialogue. and moscow feels that, you know, they've been doing most of the work in trying to form that constructive dialogue. and the u. s. has not been doing enough between the 2 countries, at least. and this new convention really is, isn't. it is an example of that. i mean, russia has been, like i said before, the 1st country to put something like this forward, and it could really change the entire international situation when it comes to cybersecurity. so i had to make the 1st step of interesting to see what reaction follows. an interesting one. thanks so much don. none of these in earthquake measuring 8.2 in magnitude has struck off the coast of the us state of alaska. a

synonymy warning was issued with people of eyes to take to higher ground footage on social media show. buildings shaking during the trim is sirens wailing across the quake prone state. after shops had been recorded as far away as new zealand authorities in hawaii also issued a tsunami warning that was late to cancel. this the biggest earthquake in the alaskan region since 964 when a 9.2 magnitude event was recorded, the strongest in north american history. water scarcity is fast becoming a life and death matter in the middle east and north africa in lab and on the situation. so dia, now that the children's charity union is calling for immediate action as millions in the country, which is a huge percentage of the population risk losing access to clean water in just a matter of weeks. well, utility companies in lebanon, approximately would have between 4 to 6 weeks before they actually shut down

altogether. we're extremely concerned that due to the economic crisis, which is spiraling 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 has really accelerated in the past 12 months to a point where now even basic, essential, like spare paul fair part consumable, even chlorine to actually make sure that the water is safe to drink, even that is often no longer available for the wolf utility. ringback companies will, you know, estimate shortages, could see water fees surging by 200 percent a month being the most vulnerable will be unable to meet even the most basic needs . like a reporter, linda thomas, fall this report of the unfolding crisis from one of the levels main cities. i'm standing inside and 11 on the 2nd largest city. and according to what i was wor,

outage and here are even worse than they are. and i'm just about to meet with a resident here facing with these families when it comes to water. most of her and his 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 or fuel for generator to pump 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, 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. close families here inside and used to require just one water tank like those that you can see right behind me. but now they're not enough. so 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 countries 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 no 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. the evidence you wrote it today, thanks for the company here on our tea. i'll be back in and out the the join me every thursday on the alex salmon show when i was speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. in the oh it is a no longer a crime.
