Fireworks light up the skies over moscow delivering a spectacular finish to largely subdued celebrations for the 75th anniversary of victory. In the world loses one of rock and rolls Founding FathersLittle Richard has died at the age of 87. 00. So shelling by forces loyal to the libyan warlord after has hit the sole operational airport in tripoli the un recognized government has described it as a callous terrorist crime and it is threatening to hit back a Libyan Airways jet was also hit but no one was on board 3 civilians were killed though in the residential areas near the airport from tripoli mohammed up the wide as i reports.

Have to the forces say they were targeting equipment used to launch turkish drones that is truck their troops in the south and other areas of the contrie. In recent weeks the internationally recognized the government has increased the amount of territory it controls and has launched a drain on the strait t. G. Clee important areas held by have tell us forces attacks on civilian areas in tripoli are becoming more common theres no absolutely no way that a military takeover would have been possible without some civilian casualties the problem this the social and them as he or any perception of the legitimacy of the libyan our armed forces or of the potential military leader have completely dissipated from most of the residents in tripoli because they realize that if previously some of them believe that this is actually a cohesive disciplined army now a year on having seen the way this conflict in for and having witnessed. Both sides really particularly that have been our armed forces there really equate them with them and with the militias that are in the capital people in the city have lived with shelling drone strikes and other area attacks from halftimes forces while the ground war comes the closer to their homes. Several International Institutions along with the United Nations have been calling on half the us forces to refrain from attacking civilian facilities and residential areas such calls have largely been ignored as this cait over tax rises by the day many civilians here are blaming the International Community for not doing enough to protect them. And. Tripoli well the u. N. Mission in libya has called for those who have broken International Laws to be brought to justice tweet also mention the damage to the passenger Aircraft FuelStorage Facilities firefighting trucks and the passenger lounge as well as all the civilian casualties these horrifying attacks it added occur on a regular basis close to civilian neighborhoods. Also said that the heavy shelling is one in a series of indiscriminate attacks most of which are attributable to pro half the forces killing more than 15 civilians since the start of this month now the latest coronavirus news and we start with brazil where president has been described as quote the biggest threat to his countrys ability to respond to the virus the damning assessment came from the british publication the Lancet Medical Journal brazil is the worst affected country in latin america number of deaths is up above 10000 there are well over 155000 recorded infections continues to downplay the danger of covert 19 the demand in the economy reopen fully as soon as possible and he still has plenty of support dont forget this was how it looked earlier in the capital brasilia where protesters many in their cars came out to cheer for the president. As a journalist and founder of the online magazine the brazilian report he told us the biggest worry is that no one knows the true extent of brazils outbreak. Brazil is one of the countries that has tested the least in the world per people we have tested 10 times less than the United States of the us are by no means a reference the word standards in some areas of brazil for instance the state of millions or days its the 2nd most populated state in brazil we have only 3000. 00 cases but then we have almost 100000 suspected cases that have gone tested so far so the numbers are clearly much worse you know the government has absolutely no way to be off the true extent of the problem and its not me talking Health Minister himself has admitted that person was playing blind through the spend make and there are a lot of other issues happening because we have no political correlation between federal miscible and state level of authority says we have absolutely no way of dealing properly with the crisis right now so. Its also mothers day in latin america on sunday which is a big day in the region social calendar but he says the coronavirus pandemic will be a big damp. Mothers day is one of the most important date social date on the calendar across latin america so governments are very worried about what could happen they are already taking measures to try and avoid crowds on mothers day for example in mexico the biggest flower market in the capital mexico city will be closed the same is true for the 70 percent series across the country thats happening also here in colombia and in other countries like in chile the government of mexico as been promoting ads on television and social media essentially saying if you love your mother take care of her and dont visit her this year to avoid the possibility of spreading the infection this is something thats very concerning here in colombia with the government also deciding to impose curfews in a number city cities and regions there will also be a total ban on the selling of alcohol. Wholesales are very high on mothers day its also an excuse to party for many colombians in the in a very rowdy way so the government here is fearing that people will use mothers day as an excuse to defy the restrictions that are in place even in countries where the celebration are not as rowdy as they are hearing colombia for example in chile cemeteries will be closed and other restrictions will be put in place. Well here fireworks displays lit up the skies over the russian capital as part of celebrations to mark 75 years since the end of world war 2 in europe traditional commemorations there including a military pride parade were put off because of the pandemic infections in russia are rising dramatically more than 10000. 00 cases reported for 7 days in a row now. And reports. Instead of a military parade on moscows red square russians marked 53 day in solitude covered 19 has changed everything the streets routinely used to display russias military power are empty no tanks no music no marchers. President Vladimir Putin place flowers at the eternal flame near the kremlin walls and for the 1st time in recent hears western delegates who were due to attend the event canceled. Addressing the nation he called for unity. During the year we know and they firmly believe that we are going to believe and we stand together. A military air show replace the ground parade with jets flying over 47 cities across russia. During the 2nd world war the then soviet union lost about 25000000 people more than any other country. Yet the most we probably dont deserve a parade under the circumstances everyone is fighting scared of the virus whereas the veterans were going under bullets and minds. With social distancing traditions have turned to technology and set of families carrying a photograph of relative loss in the war like previous years portraits were uploaded online for a digital commemoration the start menu the price make i dont mind the celebrations were cancelled people will celebrate at home and watch the parade from previous years. But the president was counting on the parade to mark the 75th anniversary with his Approval Ratings hitting a record low there is frustration over the handling of the pandemic as russia becomes a new hotspot for the virus at home a weak economy and a slump in oil prices are making things worse than long ago such as the economy is not doing well i know a number of and to crises measures have been taken and i hope it will help us to survive the situation. Abroad its involvement in the war in syria and libya has fuel tensions with adversaries the president was hoping the parade would help his political standing and the countrys might now. But as it marks the end of the 2nd world war russia now faces a new invisible enemy. Al jazeera egypts president of the father of sisi has granted himself and security agencies new powers under the existing state of emergency they will be able to suspend University Classes ban protests celebrations and other forms of assembly including private meetings the government says it is among the measures to deal with coronavirus Rights Groups that say the virus has been used just as an excuse to expand authoritarian rule. To the countless nonresident fellow at the air institute for middle east policy tells us that successive egyptian governments of used such emergencies to gain more power sure i mean egypt in some form or another has been a state of emergency for over 60 years with very few respites from that. Oftentimes the authorities will use real problems and as an excuse to dramatically expand its powers and justify series of measures that may have nothing to do with the problem in question as were seeing in some of the measures undertaken in this particular emergency law authorization and so Human Rights Watch is rightfully concerned that the authorities once again are trying to add to their toolkit in terms of repression under the pretext of protecting public health. And the reality is that unfortunately were seeing 2 sets of measures some that are legitimate and some that arent and are very reasonable fear of abuse because weve seen. Abuse of authority be a persistent feature of authoritarianism in egypt for several decades and the Current Situation is one of the most repressive periods in egypts modern history so Human Rights Watch is going to raise those concerns and worries about what what could transpire from this new set of authorizations and theyre totally legitimate in doing so. In the news ahead we will tell you why european governments think cycling is part of the solution as they allow people back out again.

K. More than 31 and a half 1000 people have died and even as the u. K. And other European Countries start allowing people back out there still and forcing social distancing this means public transport is something of a problem or a challenge as more. The dog strapped to his back is an individual touch but this mans choice of 2 wheels is what several european governments are hoping as many of us as possible use for lock down travel is rome notorious for its alarming traffic not previously a bike friendly city but 150 kilometers of emergency cycle lanes are being created as an alternative to public transport better late than never says this fights women like the we are very happy weve been asking them for years and many of us not only may im only the president of the save the Cyclists Association many have fought to achieve this the coronavirus pandemic has prompted an urgent rethink of how people get about madrid has bans cars from 29 streets this weekend to accommodate those taking their russian down door exercise on bike and foot atocha train station like many transport hubs in europe is mostly empty lockdowns and stay at home orders have kept people off the continents trains trams and buses but lifting restrictions without risking fresh outbreaks poses many difficult questions physical distancing is all but impossible on many of the continents over crowded mass transit systems so how do you get the economies coggs moving again if people cant get back to work safely the british governments also i think cycling and walking are a big part of the answer its announced 2 and a half 1000000000. 00 in funding engine with public transport reversing to affirm the service once you take into account the 2 need to do so sial distancing rule they would only be effective capacity for one in 10 passages in many parts of our network just a 10th of the old capacity since the epidemic began the u.

But one of the pioneers of rock n roll Little Richard has died at the age of 87 known for his flamboyant performances as korea spanned 7 decades interviewing the likes of elton john and the beatles Priyanka Gupta looks back at his legs yes are real some of that are rock n roll graduate and was. Like. Born as richard wade penniman. Boy from americas deep south georgia. With of all those are good members as Little Richard was one of the Founding Fathers of rock n roll. This damn boring style of playing the piano and distinctive stage presence was a fine blamed office gospel roots and the blues can to create something electric was to. Little richard exploded onto the scene with his 1st hit single indite 155. Tutti frutti whose lyrics were considered so well received that have to be censored. It sold a 1000000 copies over the year and has been described as the one greco would that change the world of music in the u. S. Was a time when black and white americans was segregated but little which is music book that racial divide both on the dance floor and on the billboard charts. He sold more than 30000000 records worldwide and influenced a generation of musicians from the beatings. Round. To david bowie Elvis Presley. Bought them all the lot but i. Was out. And prince. He even formed a band with jimi hendrix but later fired him for being late in the bass. At times in his life his lifestyle seemed to him to be at all woods with his free he went on to study fuel the g 7 bibles and producing gospel music. But he would keep pretending to the world he knew where he venting and relaunching his career in the 1970 s. He vanished from the scene for more than a decade returned with a smash hit and an entry into the rock n roll hall of fame in 1986. Part of the 1st group of musicians ever to be inducted i am going to see you never you are never here you know that it was here he. Was. He finally won one in 993 a Lifetime Achievement award in 2013 Little Richard announced his retirement demo rock n roll is a lot rougher. I love it he would be remembered as a pioneer entertainer and an inspiration who overcame obstacles throughout his entire life and leaves behind a bridge musical legacy Little Richard was 87. And in the. Very place that brian heart with us now Senior Writer for Rolling Stone in new york i was looking for some quotes from Little Richard and i think the most pertinent one is what bubbled up or what burned because im just trying to take myself back to the 1950s when someone comes out with that and it kind of blows everyones mind. Thats right i think that is among his most eloquent phrases for sure it says it all i think for people who were young when he 1st came out and especially those who went on to become rock stars and Little Richard was like a visitation from an alien granted a visitation from the future he was the freest man alive and he invented he was the cause of the architect of rocknroll and he was the architect invented many of the sounds but also i think perhaps more importantly invented stances when we talk about rocco we need music but we also mean something more and thats a ball sort of spirit and the spirit of rock will it sort of disregarding the rules of freedom and he embodied all of that. Without being too blunt how important was it that he was like again the 1950s american rocknroll. Thinking highly buddy holly Elvis Presley it was a very white saying and then comes Little Richard well sure enough and the original and the stars themselves would acknowledge Elvis Presley would acknowledge but the hollywood knowledge the roots of the music in truth were black they came from black traditions and black artists you know i mean what else is with well before that it was a little more comedy combined black music with Country Music even Country Music was rooted in going to american tradition so you know. Literature also by the fact that rock was originally black American Music that is in dispute the music came from and he was understandably adamant that people didnt understand. Ever resenting someone like Elvis Presley appreciating. That music can help Little Richard one. Thing. Because it was opened a door that he could then. Walk through and get bigger fame than you might as. Well look at some of the pictures that were playing of him the person i think the most is prince maybe its maybe the find what i think prince and he did have a huge influence on prince prince sadly gone now but. Who is Little Richards modern equivalent. Someone came out. Last time with this earlier its so hard because you couldnt never have a Little Richard not for multiple reasons because he knocked down those doors and theyre already knocked down so you cant do that again you can never shock people as much as. American men being born with makeup and screaming and. Nothing could shock anyone now anywhere. Then with richard and didnt like people then this sort of. Also. Divided these. Kind of 3 Television Channels and everyone watched. The show everyone in america basically was nothing like that. There is no one like him now and there will never be anyone like him again im so glad you could join us to talk about Little Richard thank you so much for your time thank you for having me.
