Hes an adult so he should assume the consequences of his actions i believe this tour of. It existed for 30 or 40 years dont they have anything to do except. Live from moscow thanks for joining us. Welcome to the program. Used his address at this years Munich Security Conference the call for approach with the worst. International partners sort of betrayed as a grave threat that they need to stop invoking the russian phantom with a veto. So to get allow for all of the Russian Foreign minister he gave a very quick fire address to the Munich Security Conference he started off by talking about what russia sees as attempts to rewrite history of world war 2 speaking as we approach of course the 75th anniversary of the end of that conflict he went on to say that its the spirit of alliance is as important today between russia and the west as it was 75 years ago between the then soviet union and the west he did say that when it came to improving relationships with europe as some european leaders have been speaking about iraq this years security conference there remained what mr lavrov called a crisis of confidence that is the u. S. Would be most what you show is a crisis of trust is being felt particularly strongly in European Affairs escalating tensions nato military infrastructure advanced eastwards the end precedented scale of military exercises close to the russian borders the inflating of Defense Budgets beyond all possible measure all of this generates unpredictability the confrontational dynamics of the cold war have been recreated the more it sees one of those World Leaders talking about improving ties between europe and russia was frances money when my call early on saturday he was also speaking out about his idea to get more autonomy for europe when it comes to defense so that european nations could be able to act independently of the United States in more yup all new to the point that we can see that there is a certain weakening of the west that has been observed 15 years ago we thought of ronnies would be universal values that would always ruled world i think were facing the hour of truth here we have a lot in common with the United States freedom and so on so this is why we fight together numerous was but is not quite what america wants we need to develop our own strategy. Well representing the United States is interests with secretary of state mike pompei oh he rejected out of hand claims that its western nations role on the International Stage needs to evolve happy to report that the death of the Transatlantic Alliance is grossly over exaggerated. The west is winning we are collectively winning the west is winning freedom and democracy are winning or winning the west will win lets keep out lets keep winning state my pompei o and secretary of defense mark aspect i think quite a bit of china bashing while they were at the podium here in munich they were paid to follow to everybody that same podium by the chinese minister of Foreign Affairs about why or year he described those claims by the United States is well lies and not backed up by any facts hard to see those 2 delegations sitting down for dinner tonight in munich that the still a lot to come here at the Munich Security Conference and continue into sunday were expecting libya to fall into focus on the ongoing crisis in that country course all the news that comes from that ill be bringing you here on r. T. The french president also offered his thoughts on the economic penalties imposed on russia beginning in 2040 and identified several areas where theres scope for greater cooperation with moscow. I dont think we should lift the sanctions im just saying that the sanctions and counter sanctions didnt really work out we europeans suffer as much from the sanctions as the russians do in our Strategic Dialogue with russia we must take the opportunity to frozen conflicts address cyber issues and talk about space and the militarization of space we also need to be able to talk about addressing conflicts like syria im not pro russian or anti russian im just pro european if you look at the geographic facts we need to build a Security Architecture based on mutual trust. Lets cross live now to political commentator Professor John brick wall thanks for joining us so great to have you on the program today. Quite the interesting words there the west experiencing a crisis of identity a gradual fragmentation do you think theres any truth in that at all. But you see the problem is that there are americans but i think youre really are living in a double delusion 1st of all they think they have enemies that they have to fight like in world war 2 highly house shot and theyre trying now with those so your answer here. Well those counties actually would be perfectly happy to make deals with we donated state and you know these areas are confronted confronted asians entirely says me and the other the illusion is that theyre winning the pump it was said that the west is winning with what does it mean i mean there was a democracy in the believe you have that these toys that they tried to undermine the indians reliance on i mean it makes no sense and the what the thing is they mock us cease misleading us to the you know american the germany now theyre not winning in that sense because of our example against isis isis was defeated by the harsh and the again and the syrians at time and not by the Coalition Led by the americans like you had ices in other times and in degli and so these are the illusion that in their enemies and they think theyre winning and then winning and the 1st of the french and the germans i think it is there is that but they dont know equate how to get out of the islands because they are in nato there and you have been Union European union is bound to be allied with. And they have Enormous Economic difficulties so if my call increases the media budget and making me even more on top of those hands because theres old the skies and the yellow vests that are so. Completely stark a thing that on the way to do and. Then the americans continued is ages ago we are winning where were doing war in the world but that i mean this is physical this but its a tragic situation which we are which is actually showing the decline of the west. The decline of the west. Powell saying to them is the world doesnt mean that it is about freedom and democracy in the do not spread in charge of the world where small democratic it will be more and then west because the people who work in the sense of the nation by the west because the people in the world dont want them to be dont want to be dont need to invade us even though they may want. Bodies earlier saying about is that the biggest link between france and the United States those shared values of Freedom Democracy etc im sure many would agree the nato secretary general today said that the alliance is the ultimate expression of the of the west saying only that bond can defend democracy defend those values do you think that is the only way. Well i dont think that even those values that in the interest legs even to defend their values let me so they look i think about what they do with these are the marks i think about whether this is they do to try to censor the net all the time in transit a jury in the sense of whether world where this is the most i think about the end u. S. Laws in the United States or whether these are the most i think about the whole of money in the u. S. Election i mean theres nothing there to the world if not the u. S. Government to when there are so many of them and all interference of the americans on the fence and in the end doesnt have a hope of those this is made to finish and they do it because they have not been elected by the people. Whose access in which as. Simple as that look to see what else will come out of that Munich Security ConferenceProfessor John brickwall political commentator thanks for your take today all out international and your images. One of the biggest digital defense contracts in American History has been put on ice Online Retail giant amazon is taking on the pentagon in court after washington gave a 10000000000. 00 deal to rival microsoft or the lawsuit August Donald trump was biased his this isnt a case i wasnt supremo jeff bezos in a feud between them stretching back to trumps 1st president ial campaign he wants political influence so that amazon will benefit from it if i become president although they have problems they get outside of my view is thats not an appropriate way for a president ial candidate to behave or using the Washington Post for power so that the politicians in washington dont tax amazon like they should be taxed finally tracked by donald trump will still reserve him a sit on the blue origin rocket send donald to space so sorry to hear about the news about jeff bowser being taken down by competitor reporting i understand is far more accurate than the reporting in his lobbyist newspaper the amazon Washington Post. At the end of last year bezos stressed the importance of the military project with the pentagon but as caleb maupin reports hes now hindering the deal one point want to soft. Remember when jeff bezos called out his tech rivals for not stepping up to the plate when the country needs protecting and my view is this big tech is going to turn their backs on the department of defense this country is in trouble this is how were going to do it we are going to support the department of foods this country is important the Silicon Valley tech giants love to walk hand in hand with the pentagon but their employees not so much google workers protested a Program UsingArtificial Intelligence for drones and microsoft employees have voiced their concerns about a 10000000000. 00 contract with the pentagon to offer Cloud Services but lucky enough for the department of defense amazon led by jeff bezos americas richest man has stepped up to the plate they say amazon is happy to do business with the pentagon were going to continue support to do this is a great country and it does need to be defended so it turns out that when amazon didnt get that contract and microsoft got it instead they as ows was angry he took it to court citing bias from donald trump the preservation of Public Confidence in the nations procurement process requires discovery and supplementation of the administrative record particularly in light of president trumps order to screw amazon the question is whether the president of the United States should be allowed to use the budget of the department of defense to pursue his own personal and political ends but the irony is that jeff bezos with his legal action has double crossed the very same entity he swore to protect as a result of the lawsuit the entire program which the pentagon says is necessary for National Security has been put on a hold the military brass is unhappy were disappointed in the ruling and believe the actions taken in this litigation have unnecessarily delayed implementing department of defenses modernization strategy. Deprived our war fighters of a set of capabilities we need the u. S. Department of defense says it will lose 5. 00 to 7000000. 00 every month the program is the lead users changing is opinion in a way that serves as pocketbook is not necessarily or may serve a spark of book is not particularly a surprise i think theres a debate to be had on the degree to which these social media Tech Companies and Search Companies are able to sway the assuage problem opinion change Public Opinion restrict debate these are big issues that i think the balance when people think about it are theres going to be a drive i believe a populist drive to lessen the power of big tech the cuts across the political spectrum well apparently for the worlds richest man the country only needs National Security protection when hes getting a share of the Defense Budget kayleigh poppen r. T. New york. But there has been a major plot twist that the fronts equivalent of the oscars the entire seas our academy has quit just 2 weeks before this years glittering ceremony of paris correspondent shot at doing ski explains why. This years award season has been plagued by allegations from a lack of diversity in the candidates weve been using that has had over the last couple years oscar so why this year the oscars they have a new house a oscars wider than ever to a lack of the fairer sex hollywood is stuck in the 1970 s. The criticisms a may have been like water off a ducks back of the boards of the british and american academies but here in france they take it its hot 2 weeks before the french oscars are due to take place in top board has resigned to honor those men and women cinema happened in 2019 to find call and ensure that the festival film remains just that a festival the board has and then must we decided to resign this collective decision will allow complete renewal of the board this is a new need here in france of come under fire off it was revealed the convicted child rapist and fugitive from the us Justice System polanski topped the nominations list the director who fled to france in the 1970 s. Received the nords for his historical drama but. She says its only. Because. The film has received rave reviews from the critics and even had a standing ovation to its premiere at the Venice Film Festival the feminist groups have picketed some of those prime is after they found out that if this is up and they would feel this to celebrate an abuser like polanski is to support the system of a punitive for male violence and silence the voices of the victims the riaa would then deepened when hundreds of actors directors movie producers and personalities demanded profound changes of the same academy they were unhappy off to a female director and the theme the writer was. Snubs in an open letter to the academy they did not state it as being dysfunctional with the screws tightening the board took the decision to disband but even that decision has come under fire imagine what happens next new college of voters with all male selfesteem opacity and sexism who will eventually stop cheering rapists peter criminals on the run so how has it gone down here in paris but is a film more important than those who make it its the 1st time with very good reviews i believe the story of polanski is ridiculous its existed for 30 or 40 years dont they have anything to do except protest is there nothing else in france now really. Have more stars in my opinion the 2 figures are United Artists and men shes an adult so he should assume the consequences of his actions let you know its true and this is to me this is a board resigned rate for them and maybe these regulations can fix the issues and this is what im hoping for the actors the artist or the director is for everyone. But you think he has an artistic side beyond comparison with other artists from to human point of view its not good what he did but its past and we cant make the aspects. Still have this saturday criticized as a glimpse of an old willian future for Britain Police the senate a mans place of work to quit somebody a series of tweets he made a story more of the right. Lovely girl in mexico the big with the palm trees swaying in the monkeys chattering special guest with us today alex petroff see. Bit fury theyre rocking it out in the mining. I dont trust medical authority at all. And the reason for that is i had this horrible autoimmune disorder growing up and it turns out it was completely alleviated with very drastic dietary measures and i went to a number of doctors to discuss what happened to me and i was basically laughed at like diet has nothing to do with our immune disorders so my suggestion to people who have Health Issues they cant figure out if theyre going to see a medical professional and theyve been going for 10 years and theyre still on the same place they should probably take it upon themselves to Start Testing things out testing out diet testing out exercise and try and figure out things on their own. The program britains in danger of slipping into the Dystopian Society thats the warning from a judge off the rule in the case of a 4 Police Officer investigated for posting allegedly trans phobic tweets the effect of the police turning up at his place of work because of his political opinions must not be underestimated to do so would be to undervalue called a new democratic freedom in this country we have never had a check. We have never lived in a well in society. The case came about after a transgender woman reported tweets by 55 year old harry Miller Police came to see him at his work and he was told his posts would be recorded as a crime hate incident one officer allegedly told him im here to check your thinking and was the militant the case to the u. K. High court the judge ruled the police disproportionately interfered with his right of freedom of expression is what harry had to say after the decision. This is a watershed moment for liberty the police were d wrong to visit my workplace wrong to check my thinking. The police say theyve taken on board the judges criticism while in a separate claim the court rejected mr millers wife challenge to the awfulness of policing guidelines on hate crimes almost 120000. 00 noncrime hate incidents have been recorded in England Wales in the past 5 years im a show up during criminal record checks the my colleague kevin i spoke to john gaunt a talk radio host and columnist about whether peoples beliefs should be monitored. These thought crimes are going too far he is right to describe it as an orwellian state it is not the p. C. Job to police thought it is the polices job to take on board criminal and real criminal activity and put those people before a court of 12 good men in true if you have an advanced criminal check on this would come up now we already know people will not get enjoyed this is this so to me here district firms are scared stiff especially provide social media a great place to bully people as well people have to be able to carry it it people think they are going to or what they like more or less know on social media that has to be policed as now the idea that you cannot write a limerick saying that you dont believe that you believe in bottled school sex is absolutely ridiculous when one person complained about this man street one person this my own ends up with effectively a criminal record this is not what we want to pay the place for.

Mobile and motorola prosecutors are saying that while always death of intellectual property resulted in the company obtaining nonpublic intellectual property about robotics cellular Antenna Technology and internet router source code you get all this well heres the problem earlier this week the big story which 1st appeared in the wall street journal d was not about intellectual property theft no instead its similar to around claims that since at least 2009 while way has been able to covertly access mobile phone networks around the world using back doors designed for use by Law Enforcement u. S. Intelligence agencies claim that while way has built equipment that secretly preserves its ability to Access Networks through these interfaces without carrier knowledge though these officials still have not provided details of where they believe while we was able to do so now this is important because these 2 stories are actually completely unrelated and yet the timing of the journal story about access to back doors and the federal indictment of intellectual property seems to have been designed
