Of the prophet muhammad. Midday here in the russian capital as everyone here at our t. V. Shows us a very welcome to the program. While the countdown to the u. S. President ial elections is on and it looks like theres a new oct surprise a recent report reveals that u. S. Tech giants have been manipulating online such results and as one Political Party and one candidate in particular whos a reaping the rewards. Breaks it all down for us in these times when youre trying to make up your mind about something or doing research on a topic what comes up when you type it into google can be pretty decisive well according to project vera toss google could be manipulating the results in favor of the democratic party. Was formed it doesnt matter from where im from. And im going to carry this is something this information. You know you have the longer whatever. And. Youre still not heated like the person on camera is purported to be a programmer with google cloud purporting to say that in fact results do get manipulated to serve a political bias now google is on record saying that it is committed to free elections and democracy if this is indeed true it certainly feeds into Donald Trumps narrative that his administration is battling against powerful forces the tech giants are very powerful Google Search results for trump news shows only the viewing reporting of Fake News Media in other words they have it rigged its not just google recently we saw twitter and facebook work to almost black out an article from the New York Post about hunter biden son of democratic president ial nominee joe biden apparently facebook did not want people to know about his shady dealings in ukraine and china now the social media giant says this was an issue of Fact Checking no political bias and want to be clear that this story is only jewel to be fact checked by facebook food policy from chicken puniness in the meantime were reducing its distribution on all platforms on the surface facebook seems to really care about Election Integrity they even have a staff to oversee it one of those staffers happens to be anaemic who just happens to be joe biden Senior Policy Adviser for europe and eurasia and she was giving joe biden advice at the very same time that these shady deals in ukraine were alleged to have taken place top staffers being quite wrapped up in the very stories that are getting suppressed seems to indicate trumps supporters might be on to something. Big tex by is clear and obvious to either in facebook of censored President Trump and his campaign at least 65 Times Combined you. They havent touched any of the above is the council even the ones sure donald trump certainly tweets a lot more than joe biden but its starting to look like theres a lot of meddling taking place in u. S. Elections and its not coming from moscow. R. T. New york meanwhile the u. S. Government has filed charges against tech giant google saying its being greedy with such services an advertising will get back to that a bit later on in the program. For new coke 1000 restrictions in the u. K. Have seen politicians who warns the mayor of Greater Manchester has lashed out at westminster saying the eminent account in his region will push people into poverty now its off to talks to avoid those stricter measures collapsed on tuesday. We made a generous and extensive offer to support mentors does Business Manager didnt accept this unfortunately given the Public Health situation i must marry proceed with moving Greater Manchester as i say to the very high level no point today will be offered in order to protect the poorest people in our communities through the punishing reality of the winter to come i now look to palm and to be a make a judgement on a fair by natural framework for free whats really striking about this latest disagreement is the politicised nation of it as seen by some with labor. Im holding out saying that the city with its falling number of cases since its peak in september shouldnt be going into 2 or 3 locked are not at least without some kind of sufficient financial package from the Central Government now initially the mayor had said that his team had sense a clustered amount close around 90000000. 00 pounds as part of the package the governments figure was around 60000000. 00 but they just couldnt seem to come to an agreement eventually the government put forward only 22000000 pounds of speaking to some of the locals on the street the majority of them backing the position of the mayor and really proud of andy burnham the mayor of manchester for really they were the way the b. B. C. Put it was bending them the government over a barrel and really sticking hard on this one and defending those people because that the economic package they announced just it work keep people alive i do think its very good that hes holding out for Financial Measures because we do need that and it hasnt been done enough. But also there is a point where you cannot hold human lives as a leverage anymore they think that they should place instead think about giving people the correct Financial Support people are going to be able to survive a bit so. You. The government still insisting this part of the country should be going into 2 or 3 logged on what that means for those especially the lowest paid in the cities well its going to be a long dog winter ahead. So whats this all mean while starting on friday quake to monster will be put in the u. K. s top birth brackets so that school to 3 companies can means a bound on mixing between households guidance against travel in or out of the area and the closure of all pubs but we also heard from local councillor allan brett to mabels the trust measures misguided. Im still not convinced that 3 d is the solution to the rising rates especially myra in this time if rates start going to change then obviously the government was right and were wrong the big issue is to protect lives and its also to make sure our economy doesnt on its alone 5 to 8 that if you are poor and youre in a low income job youre more likely to actually. And youre more likely to have although its problems so d if the lights were out of a focus on the interest of gauged then all of the local come and get by the way it. It will affect the poorest ringback members of that commute from the u. K. To the rest of europe why the 2nd wave of private 19 is gathering pace belgium france and spain particularly high and not those countries now have case numbers far higher than back during the peak and spring and the spanish region of catalonia talk to say that down to be essential and protective equipment and to drive the point home to all fortys a group of them you can see that stripped it down to one cent to spare possum mona they are fools just one example of how people are struggling when across the continent with more on how governments are battling to flatten the cause of his plea to on a friend and then. Launch to get through different measures being taken in Different Countries across europe will start from where im talking to you from here in germany. Most of germany has got off pretty lightly compared to its european neighbors what weve seen on tuesday is a full red alert announced in the back this god no region of the varia in the south of the country 2 and a half 1000 to spin told youve got to go when they have to go immediately says the practice got in the region goes into this fall. Lock down. And in poland which is one of those countries that fed reasonably well in the spring when we 1st saw over 19 it ripped through europe its not doing so well now with the government there is put in place a series of measures which includes things like closing gyms however we have seen some fitness clubs attempting to get round that one in crack of in particular has relaunched itself as a church of the healthy body in an attempt to circumvent ban on gyms while they are doing that the authorities in poland taking things a little more seriously in fact theyve turned the National Stadium in warsaw into a makeshift hospital as the polish government prepares for the worst human the. Chinese we must also think about darker scenarios if we are not able to stop the pandemic in our country temporary hospitals will be necessary. Spain more cities going into lockdown for 2 weeks nevada the latest to do just starts around 650000 people who will be locked down that means bars restaurants wont be able to open it supposed to last for around 2 weeks but it could roll on depending on the infection rate spain saw 25000. 00 extra infections of covert 19 over the weekend. Moving north and the island is heading into 6 weeks of whats being called extreme lockdown households would not be allowed to mix with one another and youre not supposed to go more than 5 kilometers from your own home in measures that will last until the beginning of december i understand and i feel very personally i prefer. The sense of disappointment the feelings of loneliness perhaps even this the despair the dissonance and will bring from any if we pull together. Over the next 6 weeks we would have the opportunity to celebrate christmas in a meaningful way. We look at in italy the law the region has seen a huge spike in infections thats probably the introduction of a nighttime curfew hospitals theyre concerned that they may become overwhelmed and as they did back in the spring the 1st wave of covert 90. 9 the response to rivers is do not have legs it is people who spread the lumber d. Is a very dynamic region very active with a lot of population and then a large concentration of population in the cities but overall its a pretty bleak picture here in europe one big question that nobody seems to be able to answer though is why countries like germany sweden and denmark arent bearing the brunt as much as their neighbors. And france people continue to mourn slain teacher samuel party the 47 year old was brutally killed last week and what was declared a terror attack on tuesday thousands gathered to pay tribute to have following a vigil in his hometown a crowd of grieving people joined a silent march with many carrying placards bearing his portrait last week will remember patti was beheaded outside his school in a suburb of paris the suspect an 18 year old refugee of chechen origin was later shot dead by the police it is possible he was motivated by the fact that patsy had showed me his students a series of cartoons including to depict the muslim prophet mohammad in a class on the free to. One response the french government ordered the closure of a mosque accused of having links to that very attack the pace of wash up outside the capital had earlier posted a video calling for a campaign against the teacher while the leader of the mosque apologized for posting the clip he did nonetheless denounce the shutdown order. Everybody knows that i am a socalled moderate muslim that i call for tolerance open mindedness ive got the impression that they just need to throw someone under the bus the mosque will be closed for 6 months starting on wednesday but its need to do i have hours to appeal the decision and Court Members of the congregation that believe that they are being unfairly punished for someone elses recent crime. Only crucial to man we have a very kind of mom who speaks to us in a rabid confer inch and doesnt tell people what to do she never gathered us together to tell us to do anything bad she was for George Orwell but i dont know if i told people you should go and buy weapons and then they go and buy weapons and kill someone im not responsible for that. Im not happy about the mosques closure im against what happened to the teacher i condemn it i do not agree with those who committed the crime but for the mosque its a shame well in around an hour our correspondent. Bring us up to speed on the very latest straight from paris so please join us. But still to come this hour it might cost them a pretty penny pot sudan is set to be taken off the u. S. Terror list well tell you all the details when we come back lets break. Join me every thursday on the alex simon show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. Welcome back the u. S. Has pledged to take suit on off its list of terrorist state sponsors and exchange it once called to him to pay out hundreds of millions to terror victims and untrue malton diplomacy style the american president has sudanese counterpart took to twitter to discuss the deal. Great news new government of sudan which is making great progress agreed to pay 335000000. 00 to u. S. Tera victims and families once deposited i will lift see down from the state sponsors of terrorism list thank you so much President Trump we very much look forward to your official notification to congress rescinded the designation of sudan as a state sponsor of terrorism which has caused sudan to march currently washingtons list of terrorist states and creates 4 countries sit on iran north korea and syria this means that subject to sanctions they cant receive foreign aid from the u. S. Theres also a battle on sales as well as a number of financial restrictions so don was designated a terrorist state after harboring al qaeda nita a solid bin laden. Terrorism expert david low believes the upcoming election stateside played a significant role in this latest move of course this is a devastating. Political statement that the issue then turned out not to be really about terrorism if that was ever the subject of the u. S. Consulate but it is about money i mean imagine what kind of precedent this is going to send not just within that region but worldwide but i really think it was never about money in the 1st place trump is desperate to go back to his supporters and to clear. Another. Foreign policy victory essentially because in 2 days it would be another debate that will focus largely on Foreign Policy so he needs to go and talk about his achievements and so in addition to the immigrants and be the leaders of his achievements a far as he says this is even more about u. S. Elections that money percent. Only teased it a bit earlier but in a historic move the u. S. Government has slapped charges on tech giant google its accused of violating laws meant to stop monopolies on online such as an advertising the law says it is one of the most significant legal challenges to a tech company in decades. How. Shall. We maintain the finale. On that issue of monopoly its cool google holds 88 percent of the us such market with 94 percent of all mobile such as a current on it Services Washington also alleges that the tech company suppresses innovation by knocking up distribution through contracts with apple but its gone the state concerns this helps a lot like history repeating itself. I want to compare it to historically true the advent of the widespread use of the telephone in america about 100 years ago when the Company Called american telephone and telegraph everything including the manufacturer knew the equipment so government let that ride for about 50 years in the prices got too high and the service got too bad and so they filed a lawsuit against a t. N. T. And antitrust suit and it resulted in a t. N. T. Breaking up into Regional Companies and Telephone Service being opened up to competitors and all of that made life much much better for business and for american citizens now we have google which is considerably more complicated than a telephone number one because were not quite sure what theyre doing when you use a Companys Services for free and you cant figure out what they do to make money and what their product is that means the product is you and theyre selling you and your data and we just dont know how certainly it should not be done behind closed doors under cover of darkness by only one company for its paul google but hes the. Only hot consumer. In feria rivals. People use google because they choose to not because theyre forced to or because they cant find alternatives this lawsuit would do nothing to help consumers to the contrary it would artificially probably over quality search alternatives raise phone prices and make it harder for people to get the Search Services they want to use what google has done is build themselves centrally a couple of different forms of one are believed within the marketplace one of them specifically though is with the android operating system which they say not only has google you know dominance in terms of being the largest operating system in the world but defaults that system to create google as the search they also also dominate the Advertising Market for Online Advertising as you know about 80 to 90 percent of all Online Advertising goes through directly through google and so the idea is that google has used an optimized its Search Engine its enjoyed operating system to be able to create market dominance and its not necessarily because the public loves google so much as it is the fact that google has found a way to make themselves really the primary Search Engine online when it comes to a mobile device. Wrap up this hour at the office in charge of all weapons on a british submarine has apparently sunk to new depths thats off to allegedly tightening up what after a night on the town Ashanti Edwards dashti now explains that this is not the fust time h.

Theres over the Nuclear Button and what could happen if it was pushed an era has overshadowed humanity for decades so no one wants the trigger to be in the wrong hands certainly not drunk ones one Lieutenant Commander in charge of Nuclear Missiles on board a British RoyalNavy Submarine stationed in the United States was sent home last month after he allegedly arrived intoxicated for duty following a big night out and is far from steady and sober hands were carrying a bag of grilled chicken and to work personally i go for fried on a hangover chicken aside an investigation has been launched where an individuals conduct falls short of the high standards so we expect we wont hesitate to take the appropriate action while we dont comment on the detail there are numerous safety checks and processes to protect the safety and use of weapons aboard all submarines while turning up hamet at most jobs a cycle offense most people arent responsible for missiles and sensors on the u. K. s Nuclear Deterrent vessels and the incident has rallied the 20 brigade who are calling for Nuclear Disarmament this is not reassuring me why not just remove your nukes and Everything Associated with them from scotland that would be more effective and next you dont to do to nation no for a Nuclear Warhead in a populated area is unthinkable let us make that impossible by destroying these weapons whose sole purpose is to vaporize everything and if thats not bad enough in 2017 the submarines reputation took another dive then captain of the vessel was removed from his post after allegations he was having an affair with a female crew member same year different incident 9 british sailors were kicked off the board after testing positive for cocaine and now another scandal has surfaced as a quarter of the crew tested positive for covert 19 after sailors went boozing despite a strict doctor measures so the h. M. S. Vigilance submarine has found itself in deep trouble over the years giving new meaning to the old. Additional sea shante all what should we do with a drunken sailor in the morning shot to edward stashed away altie. Well brings you up to speed if you want more details on those any of the stories take a look at auto call them block stuff you have a good day. Secret prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however even the most prosperous can be deceived we didnt exist there were 2 view houses were allowed to leave prison was located and only people had access to the story for investigators hell they uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. You graded no. Yes or no for. Training for justice. You know what i mean you get there so i dont think about it at all many grown men not me and our power. I kind of were on the. Back and i think now i think its have enough. Members of the african mafias conways them safe and quick passage to europe but once they. Leave they cult speech. Will not some of the libya i couldnt you know if this unit can get it out to him. On the cheek when. They sold the. Concord of the united. Because the persona that all. Hello and welcome across town where all things are considered im Peter Lavelle there is a saying in washington dont let the perfect be the enemy of the good this appropriately describes the Political Warfare over another stimulus package at the center of this standoff is who wins or loses just prior to the election in the meantime tens of millions are suffering with no end in sight. To discuss this and more im joined by my guest brad like unshipped in gothenburg he is they call me as a c g t n i freelance reporter for shin how as well as a r t contributor and in greenville we cross to hana cox she is a newsmax insider contributor to the Washington Examiner as well as host of base a monthly vodcast all right cross talk rules in effect you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it ok lets go to hannah 1st and that is theres a big standoff going on in washington another planned stimulus package and both sides of the draw on their lines in the sand. Do you think theres going to be one and maybe in your mind is it necessary go ahead. I dont think theres going to be you want to least not before the election and i think it depends on who wins the election in november well see if we have another one coming down the pipeline or not personally i dont think we need to have another one i think we need to reopen our economy and we have had a 4 shutdown for many months we had an exasperating result of the pandemic weve been hurting Small Business as weve been hurting people and industries across the spectrums of our country its really dire we see that we already are experiencing shortages in a lot of areas we absolutely have to get people back to work americans are looking for handouts they want to do their jobs they want to go back to their businesses that theyve built and the fact is that we cant continue to fake an economy theres no amount of money that we can just throw it people to make this go away the stimulus on the 1st time around was probably needed for the individuals i dont think that we should have seen them at the port in corporate welfare that went to Big Industries the 1st time around but certainly we dont need another go up and thats the democrats are pushing for republicans largely agree right what about you i mean i agree in many ways with having here but it is far is working people i mean the very rich actually got richer during all of this they got they got welfare of their welfare when they didnt meet here but if you look at the 1st round it was the middle class and working people who were largely ignored or just temporarily given an injection what is your thoughts on this i mean should i im not interested in bailing out local governments or bailing out states when they anything like that im interested in helping you give back
