30th on november 7th, at this measure, is meant to curb a record breaking number of new covert cases and deaths in russia since as of october 28th, the country has seen new cases skyrocket to an average of over 40000 a day. with depths every day hanging around, 1100 people. i mean, the russian capital has also been hit hard by this pandemic facing over 8400 new cases a day. and over just over 90 debts now, going hand in hand with this non working period, non essential businesses have been forced to temporarily closed down. we're talking about cafes, restaurants, schools, et cetera. but people actually are not being required to remain in their homes. and we heard earlier from the kremlin spokesperson dmitri pest cough, as he explained to journalists, this is not exactly a lockdown. in a recent speech, the russian president is called on the governors to use that powers more actively. they must act according to the situation. but i want to draw your attention. there

is no lockdown in moscow, and one is not planned. this is a very important nuance here. in fact, there are a few venues that you might consider non essential, which people are still able to go to as long as they have vaccination q r codes. these are mainly cultural institutions, like museums and theaters. the only catch is that these institutions can only accommodate 50 percent of their maximum capacity during this period. on top of that, there are also other measures that will be coming to an end in late february, the main one being that businesses have been forced to send no less than 30 percent of their unvaccinated workforce to work from home, including people over the age of 60 and people with chronic illnesses, so big developments coming out of moscow and russia at this time. and hopefully these new measures will keep people safe and healthy. but we all come into your life from the heart of the russian capital. this is archie international, a busy thursday for your headlines. we got more for you at the top of the hour. hope you can join us that oh,

julia targeted date court. we're going to bring you the latest as the imprisonment savage for said to be wincing in pain during his quarter parents. the angelina, julie's daughter gret, her hair, and the pop culture place. guess what? they lost it. so what is the big deal about a girl looking like a girl? we will explain. and texas launches investigations into school library books. what exactly are they investigating? is this going to cost taxpayers a lot of money? we will go in and the 1st gender neutral us passport is issued, but isn't the point of a passport to provide the most accurate information for security. we will give you a $360.00 view which will be a spirited debate on gender neutrality is met,

isn't making our country at, let's say i am so hughes, and we're going to give you the $360.00 view of the story. the more in today's new view to use right here on i t america. ah, thank you for joining us. you know, united states has just now wrapped up an appeal to extra julian assigned to face espionage charges offer publishing a secret military documents for almost a decade ago. i signed up spending 7 years inside the ecuadorian embassy in london starting in 2012. he was eventually detained in the united kingdom in 2019 after skipping bail. has since been in a high security london prison. sanchez wanted by the united states to face 17 charges of espionage and one of conspiracy tech, a government computer,

chris hedges of ward rain, journalist, and half of our team on contact went on in question earlier today to discuss the proposal that assigns could serve prison time in australia, the united states, a kind of caviar it is that the australians have to request them. so and the australians have not requested them. also, he would not be allowed to go into an australian prison system until all of his appeals had been exhausted. so i think that it all ref on whether australia would actually ask for julian. and i think most of us suspect that they would in collusion with the united states, not artesia edwards dash the reports from outside the courtroom in london. they hearing of a hearing forward, you know, now the united states is now appealing. i had a really made to start back in january with the united states. so that was

a decision, a risk i made about trying to coordinate to try. and i have already been to the ocoee with the play and a maximum security prison in the united states and even 2nd sentence. and they made actually with the united states with actually prevent and committing suicide days extradited. interestingly, that during the day is a hearing, a noise acting, pull the united states, say a day to day hearing a date. it will be the opportunity to present a defendant assignment today already. there are plenty of protesters behind me that

i saw and just this whole harry, i with the fiance of june. and you say that june not be free. junior lighthouse will not be here in person. today it was denied that opportunity was i think i'll grade july. that can be only one decision here. that is no extradition. us has abused the laws, the agreements with this country. it's abusing the expedition agreements with this country in order to have this hearing today. it has to come to an end. julie has to be free representing a completely a years now, and that has been a nation's and they all of your potential gain chain. in this case,

i say one of them said morris a field say even mentioning a she was taken by just helping he was many medical professionals saying that i'm exaggerating with taking his i life could really be with him to really have problems in the fall that thanks with kidnapped hearing this sergeant, even as a while he was hold up in london's ecuadorian embassy. now i just would say that this shouldn't be ample enough evidence. so for the case, and finally out of a motivated case again, it's today john ship and the father of doing this on he was here on the streets of

london banking protested and embracing them, saying that this campaign will not be until june, this honorable can relay a condition, a willingness to follow up with really is going to be a crucial for the faith of units on to put it on like 8 to reach any concrete decision. rarely because if the united states is successful in the next 2 days, the case will be sent back to another pool that then could make a decision in so many appeal to happen. so then even raising the supreme court as well. in the meantime, however, it remain, it was in prison, and it's not expected that he would be to go anytime soon.

when it comes to gender identity. what if you change, or you're under age and jesse going through different phases r t course wanted to touch a sweet has more on the daughter of a celebrity, being questioned. the daughter of actors, angelina jolie, and brad pitt was wearing a dress at her waist. and red carpet event. hollywood is making such a big deal of it because a shallow, joly pet used to dress up like a tomboy. and while only 15 years old, may labeled her as transgender when i got the call and it was explained to me that it would be, this family is very diverse and inclusive tasa superheroes. and i wanted to be a part of this family, angelina julie, a piri with her kids and a red carpet of it in rome, showcasing her upcoming role in the film eternally. but her daughter shiloh stole the spotlight and she shocked hollywood. wearing a dress earrings and nissan shoes. in the past shiloh had a tomboy face,

we're much at the industry labeled her as transgender. even a google search showed shiloh as a boy named john in an interview back in 2008. brad pitt was asked by oprah about shiloh pitt had said she liked to be called john or peter, that it was a peter pan thing. in 2011. julie said shiloh like to dress like a tomboy, and they cut her hair. however, neither pit nor jolie had ever labeled shiloh as transgender last year. pit publicly said how proud he was of his daughter. and as you can see, even though pinned up in braids, child's hair has grown longer appearing to be much more permanent. so if hollywood is accepting of shiloh dressing like a tomboy, will they embrace her the same way now that she wants to dress in a more feminine matter, reporting for you to choose. and how she sweets our team to discuss even further brand stepmom work, host of the press here on our to america and steve. well, hollywood accept it. well the fact that we're talking about it shows that seems

like they, if they accepted they did, it was some in dejection because they were not happy about that was in your i both have children. we know yours is actually already survive the teenager stage every day, every week they change their look. so why did you make hollywood is surprised at a 50 year old actually looking like what i considered we a traditional 15 year old girl. well, anybody who would be surprised had an agenda in the 1st place. they looked at a child of the most famous powerful possibly how hollywood couple in existence. and they saw a way to explain that little girl because she was doing what normal little girl, some of them do. she wanted to be a boy. she want to be. she was a tomboy. i knew many tom boys when i was a kid growing up, they didn't change the genders. they weren't transsexual and they, they didn't wind up. they went up with families and, and kids and husband. and that's what this girl apparently is going to look at her

. she's a beautiful young lady, should the transition that has occurred, occurred apparently during the pandemic when she grew up from 13 to 15 and decided, hey, i want to look more like mom. i feel like a girl. and i'm just assuming here, just like everybody else is assuming that from the look or the other day, she's a girl and holly read or should i say those who were counting on being a transgender in an icon for transgender and blah, blah, blah, which your parents never labeled, or they get disappointed and they're sick. and that's the question about what her parents actually did. because like i said growing up, probably until about probably 1011 years old. guess what? all of my daughter's clothes were picked up. i mean, she could ever pinion him, but you know, the majority of her look at where our hair was cut was by mia more of what i liked . and yes, she was able to voice your opinion and she did. but ultimately it fell on her father and i decision that being said,

like angela and brad were actually disappointed because they obviously celebrated the diversity. i still celebrate the diversity of my children and their various styles and attitudes. but do you feel like they were actually disappointed by their daughter not keeping her dude style and doesn't show there is a little bit more about the parents where the parents were putting the child rather than her own choice, especially when you're talking about a little child at themselves, that obviously aren't picking out their own things or buying their own products. right. well, i don't know because i haven't seen like, like i said, and they didn't declare it. there was never any. she's going through there. she's gone through hormone. she's you know, she, she is a girl, she's a boy. rather. she dresses like a boy she, she feels like a boy. she plays like a boy and they went with that. i don't know until they tell us whether or not they're disappointed or not. i would, i would hope they're not. i'll tell you why. angelina joey didn't look disappointed with a beautiful little little border next door. she looked proud and she should be proud

. and again, you know, who picked out the clothes. you know, you parent one way and i would probably favor you or your 3rd and compared to the boy that they parent. but then again, they got a nice bed that we should point out. so i guess she has the kids for the most part now. but they bring these looking kids and none of them are in trouble. so they should be proud of what they've done. again, this is probably a non story, a non issue, a normal story, which because of the, the nuts that are out there today, we're talking about what i think that's the, and i think that's where the status is and all of this, the sad part of this is that it's actually hollywood that put the label on her when she was younger, hollywood that is criticizing for her label. now, how about you just let her be yourself and yes. why and whom ever she is because that person is beautiful. steve, just like you, you're beautiful. thanks for joining me. well, libraries can be controversial, especially those that are full of bounded books, hence why they might be going away. so does this mean is that hard copy records

will also be controversial? well, when you are state is looking into how cost effective libraries are in the modern day to discuss after the break. with all those driven by dream shaped by 10 percent of those with who dares sinks. we dare to ask a

sheep out disdain become the african and engagement it was the trail. when so many find themselves will depart. we choose to look for common ground. the intact to a conservative lawmaker as was an investigation into what books are on the shelves and school libraries representative mag kraus, specifically as districts about any books that dealt with race or sexuality. and then move comes just months after taxes. governor greg abbot signed legislation barring schools for actually teaching what some say is critical race theory, legal jobs, my barrows contributor with americans while you're has more on this deep dive book investigation. thanks for joining me, molly. i've got a okay,

so we know that libraries are going away because obviously they're not cost effective lately. but in this case in texas, they're actually investigating more with the content of the book is, is necessary in the book itself. so what books are being singled out with this investigation? well, if you can believe it, there's $850.00 titles that are included in this letter that crowd sent to a number of unnamed school districts and school superintendents as well as the texas education agency. so our texas education association, but i'm on the title, so i'm pretty familiar ones. you may remember the cider house rules that was a novel that they made to movie back in the eighty's and it had to do with a doctor that from to portions. and he was mentored to the main characters, also v for vendetta, which was another one about a fascist regime, a, a graphic novel that was made into a movie that became pretty popular and handmade tale. you know, i'm sure you may be familiar with that if you haven't watched it, but it's been hugely popular and basically talks about utopian society where women

are ruled by man. so he hits on some pretty added books that had a nerve if you will. and this has been quite the hot topic in texas. what's interesting about this, those, he doesn't actually say what's going to become of these books. he just wants to know if they have them on the shelves. if there's any content at all or material that deals with stds with sexuality material that could make students feel uncomfortable about their race or their sex seems to be the main focus. but he does also ask how much they spent on these books. but again, there's no real clear goal or direction with what will happen if they actually have these books on the shelves. will thing is, you know, there's no doubt that following quarter viruses, so many parents having to actually be one on one with their children, actually teaching their kids that they became more engaged in to what they were learning, especially with in the public schools. but it actually unleashed a bigger question going on right now, as parents are obviously becoming more active not only in the schools with the school board meetings. so how did this book investigation actually come about? you know, that's a great question because mark crosses are mat cross. mother hasn't to talk to

anybody about this, but you know, he did run, put his name in the had he wants to run for texas attorney general that last month you made that announcement that he's gonna be running for a g. so there's been some reaction that perhaps politically motivated, but again, it has been a hot topic politically in texas, and in just in june, the governor signed a bill that they could no longer teach critical race theory in school districts, which they didn't do to begin with so there was a lot of controversy about that. so you know, as to exactly what his motivations are without actually hearing it from himself, it's hard to know. but from the outside looking in, it seems like part of his motivation to be exactly what we're doing now, which is talking about him and talking about this issue. and he's certainly when you don't look at his campaign site, it's, he's reading on this conservative fighter agenda, and this seems to fit with that. that project, you know, that image that he wants to project to voters. oh, come on, molly, tell me that not everything always politically motivated. gosh,

that just can't be. this has to be truly about making sure kids read, you know, what is good for their minds and their souls. but i think that is obviously, you know, be considering right now that is a huge talking point right now, amongst those that are conservative. the bigger question on this is, the problem that i have with us is that are these books, they're actually being forced for the kids to read. i have no problem with them being in the library. i think it more information for the kids to go after the better. i think the question is the parents have is when children are actually being forced to read it and forced to be tested on the content, that's where i believe that you can look at the content on it. what are other texas law makers actually saying about it? as well, you know, it's interesting, of course, from the democratic side you've gotta stay rep, victoria and he has and she's basically saying this is politically motivated, as we've just discussed. and we have the teachers association, which is saying this is a which time to overreach. there really is no basis for any of this because it goes back to what you said. i mean, there are so many processes in place for each day, really before any books make it into a school library, they have to go through

a rigorous vetting process. if you will, to determine if the content is appropriate and sure their mistakes and slip ups, but $850.00 titles. it's the same thing as saying, you guys don't know how to do your job, but it's a great way to make headlines. so i think it'll be interesting to see what some of his other of law makers, they are looking for more comments from them. but there hasn't been a lot out there. but it is interesting that it, that we're talking about it because i'm with you. i mean, if nobody really complaining of parents are saying this is a problem with my kid. their kids are being forced to read it and what's the big deal? and there are actual, legitimate kids around the united states right now. there are examples of books that are not age appropriate. the re, those are true, but that's not happening in this case right here, which actually dilutes the real situations that parents are having address. but hey, the good news and all this parents are paying attention. maybe that's for the 1st time and a couple decades. molly, always great to chat with you guys of the state department has just issued the 1st gender neutral passport. all of this is a part of the vital ministrations,

new gender inclusivity strategy, and the identity of the 1st issue is and it's quite undisclosed. however, the united states, special diplomatic envoy for l g b t q writes, actually considered this to be a major victory. prior to this leave, applicants had to actually present medical papers to verify their biological sex they were born with. however, now applicants can just actually select the gender of their preference to go on their passport. this is the point of a passport to help identify to foreign countries who exactly as a person they are letting into their country. and could this pose even more issued for americans travel abroad to countries which don't have the same inclusive policies to non, by an airy intersection, gender nonconforming, people as the united states will discuss every industry robinson, house and lifestyle journalist and educator and ed martin and publisher of pro america report. thanks for coming on on this very interesting issue. i'll be honest with you on this wednesday when i was listening, president button's pressed garbage yesterday. i did not realize all of the

different effects this would actually have from day one. so i do want to start with you at on this because consider all of the crisis is at the bottom. ministration is facing right now. was it's good timing to release a 42 page gender strategy. well, i mean, i think, you know, my answer. i mean, this is insanity. i mean, this is an absolutely insane. we have a nation that is under lots of different real challenges from co been to the border to our education system. we've got a 1000000 things to worry about, and this is what they're spending their time on. i've said for a long time, this administration is not being run by joe biden, susan rice and others that have an ideological agenda. let lisa monica over in the justice department. they are making a mockery of america. and as you point out, passports are supposed to have a security aspect. we just threw in the last 10 years, real id after 911, we had to get a system where we could and many of us by the way, objected to real idea because we go there centralizing power in the government. now

we have a government saying anything goes on passports, where a mockery in the world right now, and it can't happen fast enough that there are elections where we can change the direction of the country because we're putting our nation at risk through silliness . that's self indulgent. and just out of touch with what's happening in the country and i don't think that down plays the importance of actual quote. i think we can all agree that that is something we do need to be striving for on multiple levels within our is just the timing of the question of considering all of the other challenges that we're facing both on the globe as well as here at home so dorothy, i have to ask you though, and this is the so often even to the last issue we're talking about now talking about in texas. was this move actually regarding this gender neutral option, political pandering to a boating group? ice guy, how are you? i just, you know, i think it's never, it's never a bad time to center gender and equity and i think to write it off is

billy or stick, i think is also silly and sick. this strategy identifies 10 very interconnected priorities about economic security, about gender based violence, health, education, justice, immigration, human rights of quality, under the law, security, climate change, all of those things are interconnected. and that, and this strategy also in a dobbs and inter sectional approach that considers the barriers and the challenges that are faced by those who experience interesting and compelling to forms of discrimination. and so to say that it's really to address things that have to do with the intersectionality of race and gender and other factors and sexual orientation. you know, i think is it to,

it's a right and to clarify, play please do. i'm not saying it's just silly. i'm saying it's insane. what you just said there, what you said there is so out of touch with the reality that the american people, no one said we want to be mean to anyone, break the laws and all that. but when you're talking about assigning gender, we're living in a nation right now where our leader of the free world, the president, i states, is spending his time with a gender inclusivity package. when he can't get our men and women out of afghanistan, he can secure a work. you want to talk about sexual assault, go to the border and she with the cartels are doing the women. you can play with your gender x, y, z p, d q. the american people know this is insane. they're not entertained by self indulgent people. i think time in the white house. you think this is okay. they're terrified for their kids. so it's not just, you know, we're here that say no one wire transgender equalization and rape and sexual

assault. but that, that so we can stop raisins violence and visualization and rape and sexual assault . but that, that we can stop reagan sexual assault. we don't need to change our passports, but we don't, we shouldn't have software rate, but we don't need to change our passports and about what you're saying. and that's the question i'd ask you, and that's where i want to talk about this. and i do have one question that i would like some clarification on, is climate change? what did climate change and gender neutrality where, where is there discrimination? climate change amongst that? why was that included? and that's where my red flag was that this was political pandering. how please, can you enlighten me? because we're talking about intersectionality. if we're talking about climate change when that's simply just talking about clean air and hugging trees, we're talking about people in flint, michigan who are disproportionately black, disproportionately core. we have to see things as interest sectional things are not just black and white, not just male and female. we have to understand the interest sexuality is an

important approach to understand how you can have multiple comp, county issues of oppression. if you are a black, lesbian person with a disability, you are experiencing issues that are compounds. and if you're looking for housing that already disproportionately marginalized as people of color are also core. if you are also black, you have to understand how those intersect and dismissed. billy, i think, is absolutely well and, and i'll get it alive for do get the last word on the 22nd. to leave the charge on, centering, raced and centering the rights are gender non conforming. we want to make sure real quick as are sexuality only applies to the political priorities of the left. think about what you just said. you have to be a black, lesbian handicap person. to be in the intersection of the world, you know what,

there's a lot of white male workers in flint, michigan that got left behind. let's enter, enter sexuality out the window and it no matter what we're going to say. thank you for the conversation. i thanks for joining me. thank you. well, my val ended are with some passion that's offered a show in the meantime. follow me on twitter. give me your comments at scott and hughes ash i team and vh thanks for watching. ah ah, ah.
