And now it's time for news from around the world and meanwhile in.

Meanwhile in the UK, the Platinum Jubilee is going on.
I was told by Sophie to call the Plati Jubes, do they really call it that?
My God. >> Yeah, it is.
>> Well Plati Jubes, okay, so as part of that,
you get a chance potentially to see the queen out and about.
They decided to go in a slightly different route.
Take a look at this video.
>> Inside the carriage, a representation of the queen as she came back
from her coronation wearing the Imperial State Crown.
And holding the scepter and
the orb waving to those who are on either side of the mall.
>> It's a hologram that's been created, especially Joanna.
It's pretty good.
>> [CROSSTALK] >> Fantastic and it's in black and white,
which makes it even more sort of eerily thrilling in a funny way.
And I think that the queen maybe it windsor still is sitting and seeing that.
>> So the carriage had a hologram in it and
it is one thing to have the hologram but people were pointing out
that people were waving back to the hologram, which is a choice.
I think the hologram isn't sentient.
It can't tell that you're waving back.
It's not a human to be clear.
Which almost makes it more satisfying.
But anyway, what do you think?
Obviously look, they have a very different culture there with the Royals and
everything.
There are health reasons why of course the queen can't participate in
their own Plati Jubes or whatever.
What do you think?
>> Hasn't she gotten COVID from her husband three times?
No, he passed.
Sorry, I mean.
>> [CROSSTALK].
>> From the UK.
>> Am so canceled.
If Piers Morgan is watching.
I am wondering why she just didn't go out herself.
I think that's weird.
I think the fact that it's a hologram makes me wonder why does she need
that much protection.
If it is a hologram, let the people approach the carriage and
that's a lot of gold, look.
>> That was a lot of gold.
>> Great good on you.
Yay, for stealing the treasures of other nations.
But really 2022,
let's all just conveniently forget you have that much gold.
>> Yeah, that's not a bad idea.
Yeah, look, she's very old and apparently also sick.
So I understand why she's not going out there.
But I don't know the waving to it.
I get that the relationship to the Royals,
like with most relationships people have with celebrities or whatever.
His loving Kim Kardashian that different than waving at a hologram.
Kim Kardashian isn't gonna wave back herself.
These are relationships that aren't actually a relationship,
it's about the effect it has on us.
So, if you get joy out of the fact that the Royals exist or the tradition or
the whatever, does it really matter if it's a person or a hologram?
I was gonna go into this wide open, ready to criticize it, but
I don't know that it's that much worse than actually waving to a king or queen.
Am I wrong?
>> I think watching the Kardashians is like, I'm sorry,
but I think it's self harm.
>> I don't mean to focus on the, I have things I'm obsessed with it,
that they have been, it's not like we're hanging out or whatever.
So, I'm not saying it's just about Kim Kardashian, the relationships we have
with celebrity, I think, or is it that different than the hologram?
I don't know, I think maybe this is more honest in a way.
And we should get used to this stuff too, by the way, because these holograms
are becoming better, like that was actually pretty convincing.
I think that hologram in the back of the thing and eventually fully digital,
non human, non meat bag celebrities.
I think they're gonna become way more common because there's corporations,
they're gonna wanna have exclusivity,
they're not gonna wanna deal with people's personal problems.
They're not gonna want their wizard movie series to be derailed by the fact that it
was Johnny Depp that was in it.
I think that this is gonna become more common and
we're gonna have to prepare ourselves for the relationships to evolve.
>> Okay, let's be real Tupac, the hologram debuted at Coachella 10 years ago,
so we have not been using holograms nearly enough.
In fact, I think holograms could solve mass shootings.
Because if you have mostly students in the classroom, but
then also a lot of holograms, the shooters go, go, go, you know what I mean?
And you've got your decoy teacher and
then your real teacher, they'll just never know.
>> I would like to give you credit for
finding a worse solution than the Taser drones.
[LAUGH] This is dumber [LAUGH].
