Russell brands channel, whats happening there . Well, in recent years Russell Brand has perhaps dropped out of the Mainstream Media a little bit, but that doesnt mean that he doesnt have a huge following on social media, in particular onjujube. He has 6. 6 million followers for his channel where he posts videos almost every day, giving his opinion on all sorts of things. He is able to make quite a lot of money out of that because there are adverts at the beginning of those videos and at the end and he is also able to promote things as part of those videos and provide links in the comments and Description Section of the youtube page to various products. However, he is no longer going to be able to make money from that because google has come out with a statement this morning saying we have suspended monetisation of Russell Brands channel for violating our greater responsibility policy.

He gets a cut of the revenue from those adverts. I contacted google yesterday which owns youtube to ask whether or not that was under review given the serious nature of the allegations. As you say, Russell Brand denies them but they are still serious allegations. They didnt respond yesterday but this morning they have come back with a statement saying, we have suspended monetisation on Russell Brands channel for violating our creator responsibility

It was about our ability to cooperate, to tell shared stories, to give ourselves common purpose. Ijust wonder whether in the last decade, youve lost some of that optimism. I think our shared stories and our ability to cooperate, both as a species, but also on the national level, is collapsing in more and more places.

Maybe what we need to understand specifically about democracies is that democracy, in essence, is a conversation. You know, dictatorship, there is one person dictates everything.

You had small scale de
Earlier this year, the un secretary general, antonio guterres, went to ukraine. Today, president zelensky will pay him a return visit. After arriving in new york, he first went to a hospital, to meet Wounded Ukrainian veterans. Today, he will tell the un in person, for the first time that the war theyve been fighting affects every country, as he told cbs news. Translation were defending the values of the whole world. I look, if ukraine falls, what will happen in ten years . Just think about it if the russians reach poland, whats next . A Third World War . His problem is that many un countries havent taken sides and just want the war to end because its hurting their economies. They also, like these protesters, want the un to focus more on the climate crisis, and notjust the fighting in europe. So in the words of one diplomat, the task for western powers here is to walk and chew gum at the same time to Rally Support for ukraine in the assembly, but also address the needs of developing co
