Afternoon watching out international was sent in through the top of the hour here because we brought you that very important shot with a christian have france and just now theres another big bit of news is coming this afternoon as well let me tell you about that next the former egyptian president Hosni Mubarak has died at the age of 91 after a long period of illness the countrys 4th head of state ruled for 30 years until he was deposed very publicly joining the arab spring protests that erupted in cairo in early 27 our correspondent middle east correspondent. Is joining us now and appalled as mentioned last hour when this news came in i was telling our viewers here in egypt for us when the arab spring uprisings began talk us through Hosni Mubaraks life and legacy. Well thats correct i spent countless hours reporting from taqiyya square in february 2011 in the early stages of the arab spring the jefferson revolution and then some time of in the years that funded and i remember in those hidden days the east. And so the excitement that particularly youngsters had when they came onto the streets and youre talking about thousands upon thousands of people on some days there were as many as a 1000000 people who came out to protest against the rulership of Hosni Mubarak he turned to symbolize for egyptians everything that was wrong with a country political oppression widespread corruption economic stagnation and i remember asking people at the time what they felt his legacy would be and some of them told me that they believe he will be remembered for you nice to egypt but i want to be united against his leadership take a look. At 100 people in the last of my time here where you can see. Compassion. Peoples voices here are loud but theyre being drawn down by 16 that mig 21 is trying to hit the bar it is not going down without a fight. Now mubarak was elected off to the former egypts president anwar sadat was assassinated and that was an assassination witness personally and it made a huge impact on him he spent much of this nearly 3 decades in power making sure that the islamists would never come to a Political Power Base and at the same time ensuring that the police and the Security Apparatus would remain firm its a major that of one stage there was Something Like one Police Officer for 14 gyptian which is no mean feat out of a country of some 95000000. 00 not we as journalists experienced some of that Police Crackdown we will portion from talking square there was a lot of tear gas that was used at the time i remember reporting from different live positions and having laser beams shown on me as a means of intimidation and it reached a peak where almost 900 antigovernment protesters were killed by the Police Forces and that was something that mubarak was tried and charged with he was found guilty of killing. What least ordering the killing of these protesters in 2012 death was military. Now he leaves behind him a somewhat mixed legacy on the one hand everything ive been outlining on the other hand it was largely thanks to him that the peace treaty that anwar sadat implemented between israel and egypt was able to stand the test of time and he was also credited with turning the egyptian economy into a market economy so really as he passes while not placing or not having an impact in terms of egypt today people will remember him in different ways the day paula thanks for your. Side said a professor of political sociology from the American University in cairo last summer on how he thinks europes 4th president indeed will be remembered as his take of it. Because of the more power. To be in an area you know full of topple and he said egypt from going into conflict regional here or there so that has to be added to his legacy and his fear he kept the peace with israel and that is very good thing that he did and president sees he is continuing that box that push people to hit the street. He could not. Understand the changes that are happening in egypt and society and he continued to deal with that in the same old way this was the generation of social media as he was trying to deal with d people. He was able to fight the protesters in the square this was a very famous battle of the camel that shows you that there was a big imbalance between the political system side the side who was very more advanced than the state and thats what. You know little trouble. Britains 4 time olympic champion and top insurance remote is facing fresh media scrutiny go back to 2014 this over claims he repeatedly lied to us doping officials about his alleged use of a controversial supplement our sports correspondent. Take us through this would you say these are going for a fair number of years no big hero whats going on here them well actually dates back 220152014 when the 1st allegations came out against Alberto Salazar who was the coach of the oregon project and coach of more fire as well now he has been banned for the last 4 months since october 29th for 4 years from any sports activity because of allegations he violated the World Antidoping Agency doping protocol now in this fresh documentary by the b. B. C. Panorama they actually expose the methods that sellers are use sometimes even testing the new substances on athletes without their consent without taking into account that was possible health risks or things like that but the more interesting one is obviously his relationship with do you care and particular more fire and now salazar obviously was the coach of. Reportedly he administered l carotene which is a substance well in small doses it is considered legal many athletes use it even my wife uses it in training and you know acid its meaningless that its just helping recovery from muscles and heart but things like that but there are certain those us where its considered illegal and its considered as doping so the allegation is that salazar basically administered this with the consent of the u. K. Athletics authorities and this is actually the murkier story of the marcus part of the story because. Several people involved in the you get latics barry fudge the head of Long Distance running at you get latics flew to switzerland to obtain el carotene he did not report this trip whatsoever according to the documentary then another person in the u. K. Athletics dr chakravarty administered the dogs to more thorough but also did not report this even though it stipulated by the rules. Any medication to the athlete should be reported and the most bizarre story the most bizarre part of the story came later when the u. S. Antidoping Agency Investigators came to london to question more about this obviously 4 time olympic champion he was already the olympic champion at the time they questioned him and he staunchly denied administering any al kerosene before changing his mind lets listen to that. I remember taking an injection essential i just wanted to come clean sorry go and i did take it at the time and i thought i didnt usual comes back for me but at the time i didnt remember. So he didnt remember he spoke to barry told him to go back and change his account which obviously has sparked a lot of you know control this and criticism on top of that both of these men very fudge and chakravarthy they were testifying in front of the British Parliament and they said you know weve we vetoed the use of it was an absolutely fine but later the b. B. C. Documentary also revealed emails where they were actually concerned with using this substance with you know the price adding lead which you know begs the question with many m. P. s why there was such a huge such a need for such secrecy among all of that lets listen. Plus of you better than usual occurrence that this very specific medicine was required sourced to great difficulty given against the initial advice of the doctor being the work he said he recalls of it and therefore decided to keep quiet about it its worth mentioning here that more himself has denied all the allegations of doping he has never really tested positive for doping and he is going to the olympics this summer to represent Great Britain again but if these allegations about this confusion british sport in florida live there to say about it well there is a statement in the wake of this new documentary from steps that the head of the u. K. And i will be agency in england who said that they are ready to cooperate they actually discussed described the us and agencies investigation as robust funnily enough this comes just a month after this very same person who said that the probes which the they keep of more will not be handed over to the u. S. Authorities for further investigation the original doping probes of north which obviously created a lot of controversy as to what else do they have to hide if theyre trying to be transparent the u. K. Athletics also respond and then said you know the more is is a prize athlete and he has nothing to do with doping and all things like that but you know we are just a few months away from the olympics and the spot again of a documentary creates a lot of controversy in english thats the issue most of whether the prize that it should go to a lympics again. Thank you for telling us the most of whats been going on right next to the story from Northern Ireland police there apologized after leaflets linking Alcohol Consumption to rape were wrongly circulated in belfast the instant triggered an angry backlash in the city with many accusing the force of participating in a culture of victim blaming than now the flyers claim that many sexual abuse cases where people are drunk they want to outline ways individuals can protect themselves the Police Services know those leaflets have been discontinued a number of years and its investigating this is why they were distributed now in the 1st place it is also going to stress that rape victims and. Never at fault but that wasnt good enough for many. This left that is a horrible example of victim blaming from those who are meant to protect the victim this is an issue that has come up again and again and we thought that the lesson had been Learned Police need to step away from the complaining these leaflets rebirths that deal the police can you please get some dont be a massive and stop attacking women leaflets to distribute please how can you prevent a crime you routinely fail to understand with this victim blaming nonsense we discussed the fallout from the controversial flyer with former british Police OfficerPeter Kirkman also womens rights activist polar. Always the same and the same thing happening again and again we are in 2020 and still with the this is the blaming the victim of rape but please dont blame enright for anything else what they do do when they have an absolute duty to do is provide people with Crime Prevention and personal safety advice it would be utterly ridiculous if they didnt shouldnt get drunk come on everyone knows that but why you should put that in these you know in this leaflet why you should connect this to rape thats the bad thing people need to avoid making themselves vulnerable to all sorts of things by drinking so much that they dont understand where they are and what theyre doing and we see every friday and saturday night in every town center but this is and how cicadas you know so this is a common sense thing for everyone as i said to you dont you shouldnt connect this to rape in your day or to prevent rape you should go in target to men who are violent or lets say these loud and clear you keep asking for things that are effectively the moon on the street how can the police go and find a rapist before they been a rapist and persuade them not to be right based it simply isnt the posture of violence there is a pattern of violence you knew know that and whether or not your use of their police intervene in their efforts or not helped by exaggerated and inaccurate claims by campaigners and im sorry i dont agree with him when he says that its exaggerated i know every time we men speak but its never exaggerated its finally our voices are heard you know what we have enough we have enough of this culture of this particular culture so we need to be united if you agree with me that if this is a social emergency and im talking about sexual abuse and Domestic Violence we need to find are always working together isnt helped by one party or exaggerating. Claiming that the other party is a lying there is no grounds for expect for climb in paris and i will service in all of Northern Ireland are lying when i say these were old leaflets but some are through some mistake which will undoubtedly turn into some jury of his minister to vera. Bts why why are you what grounds of you got to sign in the Police Service of Northern Ireland a lawyer and thats basically what youre doing its not helpful because every day we want something every this towns like an excuse im sorry im in what you should be responsible for watch your printer what you put out for how you want to stay over there and also tell us why theyre all the way and exactly which year they were written who wrote them so give us some kind of you know for more information see if its true we men they have to be loud and louder because unfortunately people in the society of politicians and policemen they are only here are if we are allowed to be allowed to by all means but be accurate. Live at 5 for most of his Art International with me covert no income in erbil whats this new Amazon Online drama series branded dangerous over its depiction of the holocaust we report. Chrono virus now has proven this point because even the supply alone supply lines are choked and deliveries of critical parts are not happening stocks are still stable or going higher because its. Cheap money right its all cheap money that cheap money is is created out of nothing to create the simulation going. The world is driven by a dream shaped by. Thinks. We are here to ask. This is out International Trucking coronavirus next more developments to brief you on the World Health Organization is warning now of a potential pandemic they say as cases of the deadly new corona virus continue to appear across europe in asia italy iran south korea have now emerged as infection hotspots plus 2 to tell you about creation is also reported its 1st case of covert 90 and a hotel in the Canary Island of 10 reef is on lockdown after a guest there they believe italian tested positive. This is a time for all countries communities families and individuals to focus on preparing. We do not believe in a binary black and white world its not either or we must focus on containment why do we everything we can to prepare for a potential pandemic so big focus on italy the outbreak there spread beyond the area sealed off in the north and now its spread to central and southern regions to also reports that neighboring austria has 2 confirmed cases european nations of called emergency meetings to try to prevent the spread of the virus the European Commission to is said that the Member States are no free to introduce Stricter Border controls if they wish here is our europe correspondent peter oliver. Tens of thousands of people a lot down in quarantine and north and its only because of the virus with one of the issues fundamental freedoms the freedom of movement taking a hate. Going to. Train services between italy and austria were temporarily suspended and in fronts the right wing of politics there is saying that that countrys border with italy should be closed and given the mood i would prefer to do too much and rather than not enough perhaps closing the borders is necessary even the epidemic is out of control in italy each year we can harbor a very serious concerns about their own people in france in mind how to provide stimulus so i regressed to cautionary measure in my letter to the Prime Minister as i mentioned measures of reinforcing the border control. China its really does france control its borders no it doesnt and effective action plan however involves controlling entry from risky or contaminated areas lets have National Borders once and for all rumania which has a significant proportion of its citizens living and working even if its only for that ill stick to week quarantine period for anyone returning from that country i romania might be more exposed to crown of. As cases on the National Territory these measures are similar to the ones taken by the italian authorities government officials insist that closing the borders remains a measure of last resort not only because of the impact it would have on public morale but also it would be very bad for business. A president there are absolutely no grounds for pursuing a suspension of the schengen treaty it would be a draconian measure to take to contain the infection there are no circumstances under which this would not have a devastating impact on our economy and then what we want to do it italy turn it into a quarantine facility. Closing the borders would make no sense as the circulation of the virus is not just limited to administers of borders we asked people what they thought about borders and whether they should remain open. Sea and maybe thats the only way to stop that i dont care. Garry to be contained for sure but im not sure completely closing youre seeing is the right answer if there was a closed borders then were looking at a good thing that were starting to look at a pandemic you trust in the government study you know its not necessary to close the borders and her entire crisis everyone is afraid and live in paranoia i think that we need to continue to live as we leave before. Closing the borders is quite problematic especially when thinking about trade and other things we should wait for more serious cases it is better to introduce border controls even within the e. U. If the virus gets in we will have problems i think it was necessary need to take measures in advance but its a real unsurety about what to do about the coronavirus among people on the streets here in europe with most hoping that National Governments have havent peter all of a girl in. Other news today the kremlin is strongly reiterated that russia is not interfering in u. S. Internal affairs democrat state side have been urging the white house to impose additional sanctions on moscow including president putin it follows meddling claims ahead of the upcoming november president ial election in the states with russia accused of helping candidates from both main parties. A letter from Congressional Democrats was presented a sensually calling for more sanctions to be imposed on russia in response to allegations of russia trying to interfere in the 2020 president ial election which will take place in november we urge you to identify and target for sanctions all those determined to be responsible for ongoing elections interference including president putin the government of the Russian Federation any russian actors now as you heard the letter even called for directly sanctioning the russian head of state russian president Vladimir Putin now we know that these new allegations about the upcoming election are can be traced back to Shelby Pearson now Shelby Pearson is a an Intelligence Community figure in the United States who is basically at this point the top Election Security official and she testified before the u. S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee about allegations that russia is somehow planning to meddle in the 2020 vote for the purpose of making sure that donald trump is reelected did you see that i see these ponies these that do nothing. They said today that cotton wants to be sure that trump gets elected here we go these people are crazy now much of shelbys claim has been disputed and debunked by other figures in the u. S. Intelligence community furthermore in the aftermath of this claim from Shelby Pearson that russia is meddling for the purpose of reelecting trump we now have allegations that russia is meddling for the purpose of electing a u. S. Senator Bernie Sanders from vermont so russia is at this point being accused of taking 2 different sides in the upcoming vote however russia has been very adamant that this is simply not true the russian government officials have been very adamant that they are not trying to interfere in the u. S. Voting process. Russian federation does not interfere in other countrys internal political process whose we appeal to politicians to stop playing the blame game its especially striking Political Forces in washington are exploiting this myth for their opportunistic making totally. Fictitious russian linked allegations against each other is becoming an american political tradition now in 2016 there were widespread allegations of a russian meddling russian collusion in the us election process those allegations continued after the election there was a long investigation and much of what had initially been said was debunked the facts simply didnt add up it wasnt true but regardless of everything the United States has been through and all the allegations that have been hurled and debunked in the last 4 years it seems like now as the 2020 vote approaches and in november once again the United States will be going to the polls to determine who will be president it seems that allegations about russia will once again be surfacing and that this will be once again part of the election process in determining who will be the president of the United States for the following 4 years. Reporting from new york city next online john amazon under fire from jewish groups over a new series on its video streaming platform the shows called hunts his which the ocean its Memorial Museum describes as dangerously food issue over its depictions of the holocaust in particular its angry of a scene of a human chessboard of nazis killing jewish inmates the death camp which the museum says is a caricature of people suffering the drama stuff and centers on the vigilante nazi hunters of the 1970 s. Who tried hundreds of war criminals who fled to the United States. You know if. People like us been big you exterminate. Broken tooth. Well the shows creator is the grandson of a holocaust survivor hes defended that chess scene were talking about saying it was deliberately done to counteract the white washing or some of the worst atrocities committed by a man whos been called up before of course for allowing ethically dubious items linked to the holocaust to be sold on its website including what you see in their t. Shirts with a picture of a nazi executing a jewish person and also the Christmas Decorations those products were removed but other questionable items do remain history central editor and newsweek columnist marshall spoke to us about it he believes end of the day amazon has to take more social responsibility. I think that amazons series may have gone a little bit beyond where i would have been comfortable going as an historian we always have to be careful we have to be careful because the line between documentary history and the line between what a movie maker can make up is a difficult clients but a company this big it has to take a social responsibility and i think it has to be careful if youre a 1000000 seller is now an amazon now can you can they pull lease all 1000000 sellers yes they could but requires tremendous effort and they dont do enough of that amazon worries mostly about its profits like any Big Corporation and they have to be responsible for making sure that they dont allow things on their platform that are problematic viz a viz the holocaust naziism and other areas as well obviously other hateful areas.
