United artists. Hes in the so he should assume the consequences of his actions i believe the story of polanski is ridiculous its existed for 30 or 40 years dont they have anything to do except. For moscow thanks for joining us in our national tonight. Welcome to the program. Russias foreign minister has used his address at this years Munich Security Conference to call for the worst so that moscows International Partners have long sought to portray it as a grave threat and argue that they need to stop invoking the russian phantom with the details. So to get allow for all of the Russian Foreign minister he gave a very quick 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 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 year 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 unprecedented scale of military exercises close to the russian borders the inflating of Defense Budgets beyond all possible measure its 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 france is a 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 a more yup will move to put that we can see that there is a certain weakening of the west that has been observed 15 years ago we thought over our knees would be universal values that would always ruled world i think were facing the hour of truth that we have a lot in common with the United States freedom and so on so this is why we fight to give a numerous was but is not quite what america wants we need to develop our own strategy. While. 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 im happy to report that the death of the transit will have to go i and is grossly over exaggerated. The west is winning we are collectively winning the west is winning freedom and democracy winning winning the west will win. Sexual 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 later followed to that same podium by the chinese minister of Foreign Affairs wang 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 but 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 2014 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 and 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. Certainly europe to open talks to all powers in the world is the only way to exist to china russia and the United States and be a sort of a neutral at least dealing with all these larger powers now we are not in this division of the west and the rest and a sort of imposition of International Order the stone the agreements of the alpha this is over the world these multiple are there are powers which are reclaiming their role like china and russia its the same level like the western countries so this is something difficult for the European Union to each is to redefine its reason to exist and its. One of the biggest digital defense contracts in American History has been put on ice Online Retail giant amazon attack on the pentagon in court after washington gave a 10000000000. 00 deal to rival microsoft a lawsuit argues donald trump was biased and if i wasnt supremos 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 oh do they have problems theyre going to have such was 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 seat on the blue origin rocket send donald to space so sorry to hear about the news about jeff bozo being taken down by competitors 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 this kind of open reports hes now entering the deal by like a 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 to support the d. O. D. This is a great country and it does need to be defended so it turns out that when amazon didnt get that contract 8 and microsoft got it instead they as owes 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 and 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 so instead of keep abilities 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 a 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 are the balance when people think about it or 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 caleb mop and r. T. New york. Theres been a major plot twist that the french equivalent of the oscars the entire seas our academy has quit just 2 weeks before this years glittering ceremony paris correspondent shot at the would skew explains what. 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 or so why this year the oscars they have a new house a oscars wider than ever do 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 type 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 an animist we decided to resign this collective decision complete renewal of the board this is a new here in front 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 it even had a standing ovation to its premiere at the Venice Film Festival the feminist groups have picketed some of those premises 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 produces and personalities demanded profound changes of the says the academy they were unhappy off to a female director and the female writer was. Snubbed in an open letter to the academy they did not state 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 so. 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. In my opinion the 2 figures are United Artists and man hes an indulged so he should assume the consequences of his actions and this is this is a resigned rate for them and maybe these resignations can fix the issues and this is what im hoping for the actors the artists for the directors for everyone. I think he has an artistic side beyond comparison with other artists from the human point of view its not good what he did but its past and we cant mix the aspects. Were doing is in danger of slipping into or Dystopian Society thats the warning at least from a judge of the here rule on the case of businessman investigated for posting allegedly trance 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 a cardinal democratic freedom in this country weve never had a check or a good start or we have never lived in an old world 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 that his posts would be recorded as a non crime hate incident one officer and let a little him im here to check your thinking mr miller at the case of the u. K. High court judge ruled that police disproportionately interfered with his right of freedom of expression heres what he had to say after the decision. This is a watershed moment for liberty the police were 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 well as wide a challenge to the more fulness of policing guidelines on hate crimes almost 120000 noncrime hate incidents have been recorded in england and wales in the past 5 years and they may show up during criminal record checks my colleague kevin owen spoke earlier to jordan caught a 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 in jobs because of this social media his sermons are scared stiff a space open provide social media a great place to bully people as well people have to be inserted people think they get 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 mom straight one person this my own ends up with effectively a criminal record this is not what we want to pay the place for. Still has a satellite shot across foul accusing washington of playing dirty in a spirit of battle against telecoms joy to our way with a whole new set of criminal allegations that we have reports coming up after the break. You. Know. The world is driven by. Those great. Thinks. We dare to ask. Welcome back to the Program China is accusing the u. S. Of deliberately forcing its companies out of the Global Market as washington ramps up the pressure on telecoms giant to ali with 16 new charges including conspiracy to steal trade secrets the u. S. Has been misusing its National Power to oppress Chinese Companies with no proof of any wrongdoing such practice is disgraceful and immoral and it is beneath the status of the us as a major country. Well u. S. Prosecutors allege that while we had engaged in a Systematic Campaign to steal intellectual property from at least 6 us companies as early as 999. 00 they also claim staff or encouraged to actively obtain Sensitive Information from competitors including codes and manuals and the press charges were made on the referral law which has been historically used to prosecute mafia members or huawei of course as a law when under pressure from the trumpeter ministration which is accused of spying on behalf of beijing who are way of course has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing theyve said the latest charges are without merit theyve suggested the u. S. Is simply trying to remove a serious competitor despite that u. S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi doubled down on the american allegations. China is seeking to exploit its digital autocracy to its telecommute telephone giants while threatening economic retaliation against those who deny. Their technology this is the most insidious form of question this is a Major Development thats going to have far reaching implications its very clear that Trump Administration the department of justice wants to implicate. Broadly as a criminal organization and one has to ask what what are the what are the broader implications does that mean if its part of the Chinese Government is the u. S. Claims that the Chinese Government is a criminal organization or the if you do business with wall way that you are doing business with a criminal organization what were looking at here is is a new step forward in terms of Great Power Competition or cold war 2. 0 or decoupling what do you know pick asians for these Major Global Companies that are doing business in china right in other words the United States costly makes allegations that the chinese tradition here is highly politicized what happens if it becomes tit for tat it could have a very compelling. Outcome for both you know at the International Level but at the at the economic level in terms of the specific industries. So im going to start now or at least 8 people believed to be civilians have been killed in an air strike in the east of the country on friday its not clear who is behind the attack but the u. S. Says it was looking into the incident the victims were reportedly driving home when the vehicle they were traveling in was targeted. So well they were my sons were in their way home when they were targeted by any strike my 3 sons and several villages were killed in the attack i lost everything i would be and. My cousins were on their way home near the village when their craft targeted them 1st the balloon did but alive but after minutes some helicopters landed in the area and killed them by shooting them. Well the air strike follows u. S. Claims of progress in peace talks with the taliban in afghanistan on thursday defense secretary mark asperse stated that both sides had negotiated a weeklong reduction in violence the United States and the taliban have negotiated a proposal for a 7 day reduction in violence progress has been made on this front and we have more to report on that soon it is our view that 7 days. For now is sufficient but in all things are prochoice to this process will be conditions based he said again conditions based so it will be a continue its value to evaluate a process as we go forward. And then i realized is facing a backlash over its latest advert which the bunk some of the regions Cultural Icons pointing to the fact they are all in the fact. What is truly scandinavian. Absolutely nothing. What nonsense and selfhatred always tried to fly with us but never again thats a promise i have always flown with sas a lot but i would have a bad taste in my mouth if i did it again because they space and i was like that with the fame that its commercial saying the main message was to inspire people to travel more but after getting tens of thousands of dislikes on its you tube channel it did eventually relent and pull video only to replace it hours later with an updated version the company says it was pressured by the online attacks it has said that the film has been misunderstood that some have chosen to misinterpret all message and use it for their purposes the pattern of commonsense number of reactions on sas social Media Channels indicates that our complain is being attacked we asked people in gothenburg in sweden about the things they consider to represent their region. Skin area and meat balls i hear. Made balls and. Our food is absolutely. Not really. We are you flew east by many are the cause but i still think. Eris we have.
