Are even chairman of n. B. C. News andrew lack is set to step down at the end of this month amid what the network is calling a decision to restructure their leadership but after decades in the Mainstream Media black is no stranger to scandal and its kind of become the hallmark of his career. Blevins is turning us now to discuss this crazy turn of events so rachel what do we know so far about why hes stepping down why andrew has been with and mysie off and on for nearly 3 decades so the network is branding this is just a way to restructure their leadership as they go into focusing on news in the digital age however the timing of this is incredibly notable because just last week and this n. B. C. Host chris hayes became the 1st prime time host on the network to actually address the Sexual Assault allegations against president ial candidate joe biden that were made by former Senate Staffer terror. Now he didnt get his opinion however he did present the reports and because of that they saw a massive backlash so much so that hash tag fire chris hayes was actually trending on twitter now the network hasnt responded to the backlash however they have been known to go about this sort of restructuring method and each time they come into a major scandal now there are a number of scandals rachel. That mr lack has been associated with can you give us a stroll down memory lane thats right well andrew has been known as the fixer for n. B. C. Which is to say that any time the network runs into a sort of scandal where they need to restructure their own employees or they need a boost in ratings he has been the one that theyve called now if we take a look at his time with the network we find that he was hired as the president of n. B. C. News back in 1903 after dateline was caught faking an explosion in a story he then made matt lauer the anchor of the today show in 1904 black then left and b. C. In 2001 and later returned in 2015 after the networks primetime anchor Brian Williams was caught fabricating multiple reports now during this time as chairman lacked also kept journalist ronan farrow from publishing the details of his investigation into Harvey Weinstein now when ronan farrow left and b. C. And he was finally able to speak out he revealed the not only was locke accused of downplaying those Sexual Assault allegations against lauer however he was also accused of Sexual Harassment by women in the workplace who said that he was a predator and went after them so the fixer had his own dirt to cover up and andy lack also had issues with this very network and somebody very near and dear to my heart to our friend ed schultz what can you tell us about all that problem thats right so he was briefly the c. E. O. Of the broadcasting board of governors which is a Government Agency that supervises media and during that time he didnt interview back in 2015 where he actually compared art. To a terrorist organization now he was quoted as saying we are facing a number of challenges from entities like r. C. Which is out there pushing a point of view the Islamic State in the middle east and groups like boko are wrong now the fact that he included r. T. In that same sentence with 2 known terrorist groups raises a lot of questions and also makes one wonder why he was in charge of a Government Agency and thats just the beginning of the question will decisions that he made one of which was talked about by our late anchor sticklers know what he had to say. I think the clintons were connected the lack connected at the hip i think that they didnt want anybody in their prime time or in any were in their lead up supporting Bernie Sanders i think that they were in the tank for Hillary Clinton and i think it was managed in 45 days later i was out of them as somebody said. Now all in all andrew luck is how to career marked by the questionable figures he protected and the scandals that he was hired to cover up we will see what unfolds at the end of the month and the real story behind it and thank you for filing that report thank you. All right a large scale repatriation of workers in india is under way this while nations of the gulf region raise a sharp eyebrow over what theyre calling as indias islamophobia and then later at the sports h. Q. Were going to have is bringing us a spring tuesday edition of this day in sports history well be right back. We go to work so you straight home. Is youll be via reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation full community. Are you going the right way or are you being led so. Direct. What is true what is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or a maid in the shallows. You cannot be bold with the yet you like. India is sending some 500 planes and 3 ships to the g. C. C. To retrieve nearly 1000000 nationals who are working abroad in places like saudi arabia the u. A. E. Qatar bahrain oman and kuwait because of the pandemic so many indians now have lost their jobs as a condom is have halted around the world meanwhile the g. C. C. Is calling india islamophobia not because of this largest mass repatriation in history but because of Prime Minister modis policies towards the religious minority in his country so for more on this we will bring in b. J. Per shot hes a historian and a journalist peter good to see you again 1st can you talk to us a little bit about this socalled mass repatriation effort nearly a 1000000 indian nationals are working in the g. C. C. On work visas have those been cancelled. Whether theres actually been a half 1000000 working group that liberty or the gulf states. Marine just want to be sure that they are angry at the high end and then the construction workers taxi drivers the rest so its a. Very large number of them at least a 1000000 ever who lost their jobs as a consequence of that group to lock down and theyve been included in the extremely difficult was the issue which is why they would you do the Union Government give them the systems and thats what the ministry of external or the ministry of india is attempting to do it is indeed one of them i just said. That ignore and i dont exactly know i was going to go and you know there is quite a bit of discrimination against indians in places for example like dubai many as you mentioned are construction workers there or what have you like you said to the lower scale workers could some of this repatriation due to job loss be due to misconceptions about coronavirus that you know the foreigners bring the disease with them. This might very well be the case but i think that explanation you know is simpler a lot of projects are shut down many Construction Projects and so on and a number of these work goes in very difficult question other core stability growth. Needs to be said that work conditions in the ghost is a horrendous ive yet heard of this you know for us. Last year in the Indian Parliament the government was asked how many indians have been killed every right as a consequence of the working conditions in the gulf and its quite extraordinary the government of india on the extent been trained 214201934 i was living the high in their workplaces in the gulf states this is going to enormous casualties a lot of religious people all the north buildings and yeah you know working structure as domestic so its absolutely there so much of this that goes uncovered what you and i could talk about for a whole different segment perhaps another day b. J. But sticking with this topic can you speak a bit about Prime Minister modi is policies which the g. C. C. Are calling islamophobia would you agree or is this simply political jockeying for a position in a post pandemic world. Well its certainly d political junkie theres no doubt about that something can be bought political jockeying and true its certainly the case that the go state 7 nor moral ground on which to criticize anybody i mean theres no freedom of speech in the gulf states let alone religious freedom on the other hand its also true that the more the government and the Political Party that miss the more the belongs to have been disgraceful in that doggy do you know muslims in this time of the globe and emmy the media blamed muslims being once again did leaving muslims its actually quite shameful that mr moore the and his government dont own up to the fact that they behaved very badly we believe going out of the scene muslims are extraordinarily spread of this or is this i was not true at all so book things are true yes but government has reduced level for me and yes the gulf states have no moral leg upon whi
