ah, join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. i'll be speaking to guess with the world of politics. sport, business, i'm sure business. i'll see you then. ah, this hour so pet line, so naughty international claims priests should not report sex crimes against children. if they are revealed, your confession gets a french bishop summoned by the interior minister. we speak to a victim of child sexual abuse on the program by the clutch a little before. don't look like this. childhood trauma is engraved in my memory. very precise details. one can not commit crimes and simply say, i'm ashamed of the crimes to have committed domestic terrorists parents in america, a face of prob, often criticizing critical race theory in schools here on our team. we speak to one

mother just a bit later in the program. also showing as shakespeare classic to students, to seize an american college electra and lose his job, students were apparently outraged over the lead actor wearing black face to portray the main character, the 900 sixty's film of that. ah, i've taken off the work week with a packed program for you today. welcome to it. this is audience in. so francis top bishop is in a hot water off the claims priests should not report sex crimes against minors. if the defense is revealed during confession. now he's due to meet the countries interior minister, who's against the idea of church rules taking presidents over french law. and we speak to the founder of a victims association, who himself suffered sexual abuse at the hands of the clutch. danelle hill false.

when we came to france, i was 8 and 9 years old, my parents wanted me to join this scout group. so i spent almost 2 years there until i was sexually assaulted by bernard. pray not, i found myself alone with him and the door was closed. he hugged me, it lasted around 15 minutes and he was saying something i couldn't understand because i didn't understand what was happening. and i remember having my head completely crushed. i was completely crushed against his belly. and i remember the fiber of the fabric and the collar he shut his smell is this childhood trauma is engraved in my memory full of very precise details. the statement by the bishop comes off for the release of a church, ordered report on sex abuse by the clergy, and that of the silencing of victims. according to the findings, therapy, nearly 3000 perpetrators among church workers since the 1950s. however, over 300000 minors were abused by the clergy with boys aged 10 to 13,

being most of the victims, the majority of the crimes mentioned in the report have now passed the statute of limitations, meaning nobody can be prosecuted. francois devoe again claims as actually the policy of the french catholic church to conceal the atrocities against children or shortish in was lost. i told my parents about the incident, they took me out of discount groups with them, but then they were harassed by the whole local community. now, a catholic neighbourhood who accused my parents of harming the church. they protected me from this. they tried to get the priest to leave and they succeeded after 8 months of fighting. but i had to live with the reality that this had happened to see. i couldn't hide it from my family. i couldn't wall myself in. when i understood the magnitude of it, i told myself that the day would come when i could confront this evil force and kill it. and that i would not miss the opportunity i should. because i'm certain

that these atrocious crimes swarm their organisation and concealment of it are evil . it should have it we have in front of us. the vatican with all its power was to my strength, is that my opponents have understood that nothing. oh stop me sir. i have nothing to lose. the investigating commission i must fulfill is responsibilities is required. in the meantime, hope francis has expressed his great sorrow for the victims and called the report, a moment of shame for the whole catholic church on for him personally. but francois de voe once again insists the pope should actually do more for the thousands of victims. plow aunt susan bus excuses. what is shameful is not apologizing for an atrocity committed in catholic institutions on hundreds of children. the pope has never ever sent a single message. never tried to contact us, but it's his responsibility we're talking about. it's not about his shame. we don't care about his shame. one cannot commit crimes and simply say,

i am ashamed for the crimes i have committed. it doesn't work like that. the pope received cardello barbarian, but he did not receive the victims. he did not receive the victims associations despite the media coverage. divine justice is based on the statue of limitations for sex crimes against minors. is that your religion? is that what you're explaining to us? you are a shipwreck of spirituality and a source of shameful humanity. pope frances, that's what i say to you may a domestic terrorists. that's how some american parents have been branded by the u. s. school boards association. the organization of filed a lawsuit against those who they say asked too many questions about the highly controversial critical race theory. course, which seems to teach children about inequality and discrimination. one mother

actually claim she was bullied by her daughter's school for even requesting information on the program. let's get some more details. his are corresponded. dmitri polk. if you think you should have a say in your child's education, then congratulations. you now might be investigated by the f b i and labeled a domestic terrorist or just get a lawsuit like this mother from rhode island. i just wanted to re enroll my daughter in kindergarten and know what she was learning. and i asked the principal whether they were going to learn critical race theory, engender theory. and it turns out they would be, they said that they don't call kids boys and girls. they don't use gender terminology than the 1st thanksgiving. they asked kids what could have been done differently on thanksgiving. and they teach kids a certain line of thinking about history and every grade. and when i ask more questions about what does this mean, why don't you call it or think girls? and how exactly are you teaching american history? they told me to use that met public records request. and when i did submit public

records request, my school been threatened to sue me because they thought that i submitted too many requests re i had too many were too many questions. so my school bullied and harassed me in a public meeting. they treated me like i was having a show trial, but the law sued could soon become the lease of her worries. a lobbying group called the national school board association, sent a letter to the biden and administration, asking to prosecute dissenting parents, which it says are essentially threatening violence against teachers and education board members. and literally equating these parents to domestic extremists, the classification of these heinous actions could be the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes. as such, national school boards association who west to join to expedited reviewed by the u . s. department of justice, education and homeland security. additionally, it's asking the u. s. government to use against parents all tools at his disposal. even the patriot act intended to prevent international terrorism by, you know,

actual terrorists now, so my thing that all this is a bit over the top, you know, considering most of the lobby groups, complaints are about parents, quote, threats of harassment. it's in other words, just mothers and fathers disagreeing. however, it seems the justice department didn't have to think twice in just 5 days after the letter was sent to us attorney general merritt garland ordered the f b. i to investigate the parents and seek ways to prosecute them and stop this quote, disturbing trend. the department takes these incident seriously, and it's committed to using it so thought a tune resources to discourage these threats, identify them when they occur, and prosecute them when appropriate. i'm direct them. yes, be i work with each us attorney to convene meetings with federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial leaders in each federal judicial district within 30 days of the issuance of this memorandum. right? because apparently who cares about organized crime, drug trafficking,

skyrocketing murder rates, and so on the f b, i needs to focus on the stuff that really poses a threat to society, school board meetings, and complaining parents. needless to say, the parents trying to exercise their right to free speech shows, sorry, the domestic terrorists have been appalled by this move. they now want to intimidate us into silence. i putting out this memo nationally saying that we might be federally investigated. we advocate you hard for our can the attorney general merrick garland, he is a lying propagandist. he should resign. this is in a courageous abuse of power. he is attacking parents where the pillars of society. we are waiving our children to be the next american. and now the department of justice use us as an enemy. this is part of a larger colonial purge of ideological county. and the outrage over the attorney

general's decision doesn't stop with the parents. many are already seeing this move as basically confirmation that the biden administration is ready to go to extreme lengths to silence descent. even if it means putting people on a black list, i have a feeling and a fear that the left has become more authoritarian than we can really even imagine, be afraid of your government. and that's a sad thing from someone in the government to say, is it domestic extremism for a parent advocate for their child's best interests every day brings new reports about this administration, weaponized the federal bureaucracy to go after political opponents. frankly, i don't think we've ever seen anything like it in american history, but for those of us who missed the mccarthy era, i guess this president is intent on bringing it to us, but with new force and new power and new urgency, unlike anything we've ever seen debates and protests are supposed to be the cornerstone of american democracy. however, lately it seems that simply shutting up the other side is becoming the preferred

method, especially for those who feel threatened by dissenting opinions. we spoke with chris about herself, the rights group, and the hyphenated america. who says teaching nowadays is just turned into blatant indoctrination. it's almost laughable if it weren't so tragic. this is something that is definitely an oversight of a massive overstep by the, by the administration to get involved in something that is purely a local school matter. that is not the purview in any way stretch reform of the federal government. i call it the educational industrial complex. they do not want the kid, the parents seeing what they're teaching their kids. that's the problem. and you should be very concerned about school teachers, administrators who don't want you as a parent to know what your teet, what was being taught to your kids 6 to 8 hours a day for teachers to day are indoctrinated. they're not educators. i was educated

to work, educate means they helped draw from with in these are indoctrinated. they're trying to tell kids what to think. instead of trying to help kids learn how to think a music professor in the united states has lost his job for showing the 1965 oscar winning film a fellow that's on to some students, expressed outrage over the lead actor wearing black face to portray the main character in the shakespearian adaptation a. lauren chen picks up the story. whoa. culture has gotten so out of control on university campuses that now even professors who themselves are statistically speaking, unlikely to be conservative or being targeted by students for failing to be politically correct enough. right. shane was a professor of composition at the university of michigan school of music, theater, and dance. and he had been with the university for over 26 years. that is until he dared to offend the sensibilities of one freshman class. shank show his class, the 1965 film, a fellow starring lawrence olivia as delete now that film

a fellow did receive 8 different oscar nominations at the time that it was released . so i'm sure that most of us wouldn't think twice about seeing included as part of a university class. but the problem you see, at least according to some of shanks former students, is that as the morse king lawrence, olivia actually dons black face throughout the entire film. now of course, black face is rightfully considered taboo, especially in the year 2021. but remember, shang was showing this film was specifically to focus on the musical aspects, but it wasn't long after the screening ended that some students took it upon themselves to file complaints against shane. i was stunned in a school that preaches diversity that makes sure students understand the history of people of color in america. i was shocked. shed would show something like this in what is supposed to be a safe place. the issue here i think though, is the assumption that university classes are supposed to be saved spaces to begin with. the classical interpretation of university and academia as

a whole. used to be a place where you would go to have your ideas challenged and probed. and to be introduced to other opinions, some of which yes, you might even find distasteful. and frankly, it does seem like a sad state of affairs that now students are seemingly so fragile that they can't even watch a film that offends them even without being asked to engage directly with the offensive material in question without breaking down. but in any case, as is often the story, when someone offends the outrage mall professor shang did eventually come forth and apologize for showing the phil. however, after that some students still felt that shank had not done enough to make retribution. and so one week later he issued another apology and a classroom, i am a teacher representing the university, and i should have thought of this whole diligently and fundamentally, i apologize of this auction was offensive and has made you angry. it also has made me lose your trust shank then, when as far to actually mentioned specific times in his career where he had collaborated with people of color despite the fact that he himself is

a person of color just to illustrate that he bears no ill will to people of different races at the well premier, my offer of the silver river in south carolina in 2000 i, cassandra african american actress and the leading ro, an asian female dancer, on the white baritone for the 3 main characters. i never thought of myself as being discriminatory against any race, but you guessed it. this grovelling was still not enough to appease these social justice activists who had apparently been so hurt by the showing of this film. in fact, 40 different students and staff from the university band together to write a formal note addressing the department asking for shame to be removed from his position. professor shang responded to the events by crossing an inflammatory apology letter to the department. students in which he chose to defend himself by listing one of the bi polk individuals who he has helped o befriended throughout his career. the less implies that it is thanks to him that many of them have achieved success in their careers. and so for the moment, at least, shane has in fact stepped down from his teaching role. and as frustrating as the

story is, the sad truth is that this is far from the 1st time that students have been bullying their professors for failing to be woke enough for their standards. for example, recently a u. c l a professor came under fire for refusing to grade black students more lenient leave than white students in the wake of george floyd staff. and just last month dr. peter bergen, of portland state university publicly resigned, criticizing his former university's failure to accept any ideas that go against social justice. passionate students may be a good thing, but at a certain point, universities are going to need to enforce the fact that students ultimately are there to learn, not to teach themselves, and certainly not to bully. well, as i was mentioning, shakespeare plays have been the center of race related controversies before including being dropped from the u. s. curriculum on allegations of promoting racism and was all jenny. meanwhile, the globe theater in london has launched a project to decala nice. shakespeare plays with academics now find the game

midsummer night's dream. problematic for linking whiteness to beauty. are still to come here on the program. your monday program lie from moscow. a new anti coven. pills should be good news, but i but it's a pri watering price is getting more attention than anything else. so we've got that story and many more in about 60 seconds. ah ah ah

. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic or development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very clear to kill time time to sit down and talk with oh, hoard 1, 20 pm here. at moscow, on this monday, russia is now reporting

a spike in cove cases with health expos warning. it may be the start of a 4th wave ortiz, if a tranquil brings us up to speed. the russian authorities have reported a daily growth of more than 29400 new cases, which isn't a pandemic record in russia just yet. but that is very close to the number plus $29900.00. 35 new cases, which happened on the worse day of the pandemic in this country. that though was during the 2nd wave. but when it comes to the number of deaths from covert daily, almost every day russia has been set thing one record after another. and that number has almost reached 1000 now to make sure that there are enough hospital beds available for old cobit patients. the russian government is reminding that they believed the only successful way to deal with the 4th wave of the pandemic is mass

vaccination. it remains for us to work seriously with the population and convincing me show that the most effective means of protection against the pandemic is vaccination. the vaccine, which is already known to everyone today, is recognized as absolutely safe or relevant clinical trials and well cost experts have said that it is absolutely harmless. but if you look at the vaccination pace in this country, if you compare it with other countries, it isn't that impressive. although the government is reporting that almost a 3rd of the population in this country has been faxed. that is 47000000, with at least one dose and 42000000 with 2 doses. now, just to remind you, in russia, each region decides on its own how to deal with the covet pandemic. and while several regions have just come up with new restrictions that has not yet been the

case in russia's biggest city, moscow, however, the capital city authorities have announced that in 10 locations around the city, free express tests will be available for musk of ice. and if the result is positive, then a free p, c r test will be available almost immediately. in the meantime, producers of a new anti viral pill to fight cove. it facing a backlash with people pointing to it's extraordinarily hefty price tag. the pill is called a multi pit heavier trial show it reduces cove at hospitalizations and deaths by 50 percent. and unlike most vaccines, it can be stored at room temperature in the united states treatment costs around $700.00 for a 5 day course. while the price of producing it is just a mere $18.00. now that comes as the owners of pharmaceutical company, it madonna, have now made the forbes list of americas richest people. certainly prompting questions whether global coals were covered,

booster shots could be financially driven. and why corporations are raking in profits from taxpayer funded research, alina mangan from doctors without borders things, the companies are blatantly prioritizing profit over your health is highlighted. a number of things that stuff is getting out of the ban to me is something that pharmaceutical corporations need to refrain from. and you can look at the genetic rice, which is ranges from $15.00 to $20.00, a treatment that the $700.00 price is absolutely outrageous. if you watch what's going on in vaccines find that i'm or don't, i have made billions of dollars of profit. why depriving the developing countries all these vaccines apply? so it's really pretty good that you do something different for try to be than pigment. we don't repeat, the api that has happened on vaccines for treatment is that the drug is already under genetic production in india,

and it will be available once that if you bought these approval, i didn't see you. and the price is going to be between $15.00 to $20.00 per treatment, significantly less than the $700.00. right. so iran says it now has a $120.00 kilos of 20 percent enriched uranium. that is going well beyond what was agreed on to the 2015 iran nuclear deal that was signed with a group of well powers. but terran doesn't think it abandoned his commitment to the agreement because, well, it was washington, the dropped out of it under the trump administration. fust ortiz poly boykin to unpack the politics behind that of nuclear deterrence. why did different countries so many times when it comes to nuclear weapon, when surely they all want the same outcome and that is to avoid, ah,

government to make you don't actually want to use them. thankfully, a new hasn't been used in combat since 1945. and with that in mind, why exactly or nuclear weapons still thing? well, there's this thing called deterrence very and in books, it looks like this. but in reality, it means that a country can use the threat of blowing another country to smithereens within minutes, in order to maintain the status quo. and in theory, that should stop governments from going mad and actually using their nuclear weapons. another thing that's mad quite literally is mutual assured destruction. that's the assumption that all out nuclear war would lead to the total annihilation on both sides. it's basically suicide, but it ensures that no one has an appetite for it. so that's the theory. but how does it work in real life with

north careers already got a nuclear weapon, but it won't. it's more. and iran is giving the impression that it's trying to build a nuclear weapon. and it may actually be building a nuclear weapon. it really depends on who you ask for israel, pretend it doesn't have any, whereas the usa and russia have loads and they don't hide it. the new long range stand off weapons. a nuclear tip to cruise missile will replace the b 50 twos, current nuclear cruise missile. there are reports that russian nuclear weapons expansion is now underway. so why is it all so conflict? well, let's go back to the theory. remember the line to maintain the status quo? well, certain world lead is like the idea of nukes because they want to stay in power. and therefore, that might deter anyone from pursuing any sorts of for an intervention regime

change in that country. gadhafi wanted me, but he didn't get them and look what happened to him. they hold him out of the home . i'm sorry to tell me that mama, i said to him, what did i do to you? but all the world leaders don't like the idea of being perceived as the main aggressor in the region. you will confirm that you have nuclear weapons when the world already believes that you do. why, why keep there quite well you, you can make all your assumptions. one thing is clear, israel is not threatening to annihilation of any despite, you know, all the aggression say, well, nukes might seem like that all about more. that actually all about politics. oh, well for 3 weeks the volcanic eruption on spain's la paloma has been disrupting the lives of locals with lava flows and earthquakes still shaking the island.

mm. mm. a with

how you get the latest on that a natural disaster right there at la paloma at r t dot com the front page. your scroll down for more details. will that just about wraps up this half hour program for me? always to say at the desk here, but my colleague, kevin, no one returns to this desk at the top of the hour with more of your monday well headlines. thanks for joining in a a wrong one. i just don't hold any world. yes. to safe out the scene because the advocate and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves well, the part we choose to look for common ground.

when i see black marriage, i see part of myself. i was growing like a marriage. a spoke to me when what a straight it did, not those who say black life matter is a movement we are importing from america. no, nothing of who we are. i lived in a world where white lives mattered. and i was not white. like ms. newman and i wasn't new from black america. i learned how to speak back to whiteness. aboriginal people here are more every day. we're moving them now with the police were out war with she states. i'm scared that more children are going to grow up in the country that think says no racism, but they're more likely to end up in the criminal justice system. then there are other schiller friends in daycare. ah

ah ah ah hello and welcome to cross stock where all things are considered i'm funeral about again the nobel peace prize misses the mark the most deserving are again passed over. also the use war against 2 of its members, states hungry in poland. ideological had gemini, is demanded, descent not allowed. ah, to discuss these issues and bore, i'm joined by my guests. george, i knew elleon, budapest, he's a podcast to read the.
