Misinformation, to an r t documentary on us armed groups, flagging it potentially all the reports on the exact same groups with no warnings. Weve spoken to the creator to find out why his work has been we have to fold notification system in place for this particular document. This is something ive heard of, i think in the army and the Prime Minister resigned over a peace deal. They see as a capitulation to the war for the back of the world. This is R T International just after midnight here in the russian capital. Appreciate your company this, our top story. Russias foreign minister has given his response to a long running allegations that alexina valmy was poisoned with a nerve agent. Speaking of an International Conference circular for all stressed about before leaving russia for germany. Back in august, the opposition figure had tested negative for talks in his meaning he could have been targeted after his departure. Arties maria, from as across the story, it seems russia has had enough. After months of what most go, so as groundless accusations. Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov says vali could have been poisoned after he left hospital in russia. Lucy is just the one you have every reason to believe that what happened to him in terms of Chemical Warfare agents getting into his body could have happened in germany were on the plane and was she was flown to the Charity Hospital . Exactly. How else can the sudden appearance of toxic materials in the vollies samples be explained . He stressed the results were clear when he was in arms. Thats according to russian doctors. We need surely treated him and several russian laboratories. Its only often a volley was taken to believe that we heard about traces of navi chalk from germany 1st, then france and sweden, despite there being no solid evidence proven it. Russia was very quickly accused of using a band nerve agent and punished with these sanctions pick them up. There was very clearly an assault and an assassination attempt that was made on russian soil against a russian opponent, with a chemical agent on the business related in russia. And therefore, it is on russia to give indispensable clarification that we will have to draw from the information that russia provides the consequences all its refusal to provide tariff occasion. If i call on russia to do more to investigate this case, a case such as this must have consequences. The therefore reserves the right to impose sanctions on russias accusing. Now its western partners have been unreliable and is now ready to respond with mirror sanctions. It is difficult for me to understand the motives of our german partners. I already told this to her can muster, and i can repeat, this is not a secret that we see how germany took the role of a leader in the new escalation of relations with the russian federation. There will of course be a response to the saying sions, and since germany was the driving force behind these e. U. Sanctions over the nerve, on the case and sense, these sanctions directly affects high ranking staffers of the russian president s administration. We will respond in kind all russian requests for proof or any lead date or where paul lightly denied. So i would like to reiterate that we do not expect the bearer of bad news, namely us to be criticized. It would be better to deal with the news itself. We, have informed the c. W. , no organization that the russian side can approach to ask further questions. , ironically, one, addressing the o. P. C. W. , russia was told to go back and ask germany, which made moscow doubt the organizations motives. I will be blunt, the o. P. C. W. s technical secretary, it is increasingly turning into a tool in the west. Hams, which is being used to exert informational and political pressure on countries that fail to toe the line. This conclusion is backed up by the watch dogs involvement in anti russian campaigns earlier with the script our case. And now with the alleged poisoning of alexina valmy. And now russia says it may consider leaving the o. P. C. W. So the ball is in europes court. Well, some background to the story. Alexina valmy is a prominent activist and critic of the russian government. He felt sick on august 20th, on board, a plane flying from the siberian city of thompson. To moscow, the aircraft made an Emergency Landing in the city of skin. Mr. Not only was taken to a local hospital, he was put into an induced coma and remained in office for 2 days. And some pills were sent to several russian labs where tests were run. None of them found traces of any talks in in his system. The belize family insisted his life would be in danger if he stayed in russia and arranged for his transportation to a top clinic in burn. And then in early september, German Authorities concluded that in the valley had been poisoned with a nerve agent from the novacek group. We discuss the case with a german member of the European Parliament the who play and the whole plot on of army is shaming. Germany is doing a lot of accusations against russia, but is not delivering evidence. And so im very critical to what the handling of that case by did to him and Political Class by the government. And im, im fully with the russian authorities who demand stronger evidence. But for me, my, my greatest concern or my, my most serious concern is to german russian relationship, especially concerning does got gas project and north rim to we are in the, in a spiral of sanctions. And i didnt thi, where this might lead to on the one hand we have t. N. Tire russian sanctions, which are seen widely as ridiculous and unfair even in the german public, not in the Political Class. But among the majority of the people, there is no support for do sanctions. And now russian is doubling. Doing take fortec. I understand it, did russia is sick of this accusation . Switch almost ridiculous. But if there druid lead to 2 new countermeasures against russia, it would be to your avoid. We want. So its a dangerous game. Democrats are accusing republicans of wasting the countrys time and hampering the fight against covert 19 by refusing to concede defeat in the us president ial election. Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer urged to abandon its claims of voter fraud, branding them nothing more than conspiracy theories. Instead of working to pull the country back together so that we can fight our common enemy culvert 19. Republicans in congress are spreading. Conspiracy theories, the republicans should stop their shenanigans about an election that President Trump has already lost. Congressional republicans are deliberately casting doubt on our elections for no other reason, but fear of donald trump. Well, most of the American Media is toeing the same line there as mr. Schumer, while drowning in reports. Voter fraud, mis information ortiz killer blow open reports. Questioning the us Election Results is tantamount to sacrilege. The media is outraged that anyone would talk about ballot fraud, especially this New York Times columnist. Facebook is absolutely teeming with right wing misinformation right now. These are all among the 10 most engaged on the platform of the post 24 right wing information. So what is this misinformation that he feels is so dangerous and unacceptable. And that perhaps the reason that this information is deemed to be so dangerous is because those headlines are actually true. And what about this guy . 2nd, pennsylvania u. S. P. S. Whistleblower claims postmaster ordered late ballots picked up and separated. While the Washington Post came forward and said, this is all a big hoax that the postal worker has recanted his story. Well, thats a great journalistic expose, except the postal worker says he has not recanted there to say that i did not read my statements. Head of the Republican NationalCommittee Says they have 234 pages containing the 500 signed affidavits alleging 11000 incidents of potential voter fraud. Now you have a media thats rigging it again by saying were not going to listen to these stories. Were not even to validate. The 11000 incident reports that we have, the 500 affidavits we have across the state. 11000 witnesses is not a small number. Now in georgia, Senate Runoff elections are coming up and another New York Times columnist has this idea. I hope everybody moves to georgia, you know, in the next month or 2 registers to vote and vote for these 2 democratic senators. Well, in georgia, that is actually a felony. It is illegal to move to georgia simply for the purpose of registering to vote. Only people in georgia with the stablished residency are able to vote. Republicans have a lot of questions about the Election Results that showed joe biden. As the clear winner. Now at this point weve got Mainstream Media saying those questions are simply off limits. However, that seems to be making the trump base even more of a bolt. R. T. New york is killed was going through the issue of voter fraud remains highly debated, highly divisive with many believing its been going on for years while others, the money more evidence this time around for team if there is fraud and what the courts want to see is brought you have to have a public particularly choir, which means that who, what, when, why, where or how . Ok . So if there is crock, where is it . You cant make conclusory allegations and thats what hes doing. And thats why its lawsuits are falling short. Thats what, thats what is it really didnt bring it for the democrats every time they lose an election and immediately cry, this is gone on for decades. But when the republicans lose the election, then the they are immediately expected to accept defeat. At the very time when the democrats are saying no problems, no parole that took place, anyone whos claiming that was brought up and there is the dearest, they should be actually actively perpetrating a fraud by saying go down to georgia for a golfing holiday and then been in the form and say you are a legal resident that this is precisely a prayer, but change of u. S. President could mean a change of fate for Julian Assange lunch. The wiki leaks founder is currently in a u. K. Prison waiting for a court to decide whether to extradite him stateside, a son who was charged under the u. S. Espionage act on 18 current steering Donald Trumps time in the white house. Hes accused of unlawfully obtaining and publishing state secrets and if extradited faces up to 175 years in prison. Democrats as well, joe biden included, havent pulled any punches was discussing us in the past. Mr khan also is a high tech terrorist. Others say this is akin to the pentagon papers where you come to, i would argue that it is closer to the high tech terrorists. And then the pentagon papers describes a traitor, a treasonous, and he has broken every law the united states, the guy ought to be. So im not for the death penalty. So if im not for the death penalty, want to do it illegally shoot the son of a state senator for what its done. And in fact, the Obama Biden Administration actually prosecuted more whistleblowers than any other. The list includes Chelsea Manning who leaked documents to Julian Assange and edward snowden, who lifted the lid on the n. S. A. Surveillance programs. However, the Obama Administration decided not to charge himself. Earlier, my colleague harvey spoke to a son just former legal representative julian burnside. He believes the future looks brighter for the wiki leaks, founder under a biden presidency. I know that hes written lation about Hillary Clinton affected the democrats rather than the republicans, but in my opinion, joe biden is a much more rational being than donald trump ever was. How would you assess joe bidens approach towards whistleblowers . I know that when he was Vice President in the barmah president ial year, a bomber had made a big thing about, you know, trying to create opportunities for whistleblowers to encourage them. But actually, the reality was quite different. And they prosecuted more whistleblowers, i think, than any other ministration prior to them. I still think that biden will adopt a rational approach. Mind you, he will not be president of the 4th of january. So i suspect, or on 4th of january, if biden is ultimately accepted as the president , i think thats going to be a better outcome for than it would otherwise be on the part of the reason why science is in the predicament he is because of the leaking of Information Private information relating to the Democratic Party by an obviously democrat, to think all will be forgiven and forgotten to well to the next stent, or will that still bay some kind of goods from the party itself . Its worth remembering that Chelsea Manning received a pardon or commutation from a bomber. And i think the same thinking that lead to that result is likely to influence biden, if he becomes president. And if assad ends up in america, theres talk of the likelihood hed be sent to this supermax prison, which a warden previous warden of not prison said in the face were worse than death being sent. Its a pretty horrible prospect. And the what a Chelsea Manning was treated in relation to the same matters or related matters gives no confidence about the well sounds will be treated. Its a reason why australia has trained government should come in and help him, but theyve done nothing. Absolutely nothing to help. And i think we should be concerned about about if hes mistreated, i dont see any leader of the mainstream press, who is sought to be punished as a result of the publication of things that the Assad Government this is our national, still ahead be armenian Prime Minister is on the intense pressure will bring a peace deal with azerbaijan, that many of his people seen as a poetry story and more on the brink join me every thursday on the alex salmond short. And ill be speaking to us from the world of politics, sport. Im showbusiness, ill see you then 90 minutes into the program. Welcome back. Watching r. T. Documentaries can be a dangerous activity, at least according to you tube warnings. One of her latest reports on the armed activist skinning influence in the u. S. From both the extreme left and right being flagged as potentially offensive. Heres a preview. The biggest political events of the last 4 years is happening amid the coronavirus rest of the level of civil unrest sparked by the death George Floyds end of the radical groups on both sides of the political spectrum. Here was only ok. Whats about if you want a war, let it begin with us. Were going to, you meet these groups and their leaders to find out how far theyre ready to go, to fight for what they believe the state for this country. Well, there are different versions of the warning for the documentary. Depending on your language settings, russian speakers are told, the material could frighten or shock, some users pretty tame. Then for anger, speaking viewers, its branded, quote, offensive, or inappropriate to some audiences. To watch it, you have to sign in to prove your age or youre my colleague spoke to the creator of the work. Just so, you know, i have a 7 year old son and he was watching this documentary right next to me and were not letting him watch harry potter because we think its too much. Of course, its not exactly the kids content, and it is about american radical groups and people who are having to involved in the protest movements that is on the rise, especially in this days and months before the election. But i think in the, in this documentary, there is nothing that is overkill or over the top. And for me, it is really weird and strange why it was flagged and especially the way it was flagged. So if you try to watch it right now, it has, it gives you 1st notification saying that the content was identified as inappropriate and offensive. And then you press confirm, but it wont let you in. It has another notification pops right after it. And it says pretty much the same just in the, in other words, word order. So we have to fold the notification system in place for this particular documentary. And that is word. This is something unheard of. I think, well those youre mentioning there, you actually have to log in. So for me personally, you know, i tried to just open up you tube, google it, and open it up and look at it. And it said you have to sign in. I dont have a youtube account, which means that certain people are not going to be able to access this movie. Whereas i looked at what i just searched in youtube for one of the groups that you said was in the film, the boogaloo boys. Theres plenty of documentaries of news stories about this group where theyre talking about their doctrine where theyre standing there with guns and you think it would be about the same thing. Is that the sort of content thats in the movie . Its these men talking about their beliefs. Pretty much so. So yeah, we spoke to the members of Blue Movement and these are how they are. And guys who are not afraid to come out to protest care in this charged weapon Assault Rifles. And although none of them are criminals of the laws in, in that any possible way. So its not that we were talking with bad people or criminals know, the, or just regular citizens. But they are having to involved in protests. But its not against the law. Right. In the us, would you say that anything they spoke about would have been considered radical . I wouldnt say so. Some of the things that they were or why disturbing you think about it because they were talking about the looming civil conflict in the us about the deep division and polarization. That is taking place in the country about the probable on the revolution, whatever that means. But its not that they were, you know, getting into any kind of specifics and we have, we have a special waiver before the film saying, just watch out guys. There are disturbing content. So we told radio now instead to your audience, do you think this is specifically because this is coming from our t. V. , or is it just because this is coming right around the election and censorship and warning people it seems to be the name of the game, looked up specifically, other videos published by american outlets and other Media Organization on the you, tube protests in the u. S. , specifically in portland, the groups you mentioned, the boys and whatsoever. So some of those videos were flagged by you tube. Is that appropriate for people who are under age, but none of them had this notification system. So we, i think for some reason being targeted here, i think we should, we can rightfully say so, and i have no explanation whatsoever of why it happened to us. Well, weve asked you to explain why the documentary and ill give it its full title. Its b. L. M. Boogaloo boys why armed protesters are preparing for civil war in america was labeled as potentially offensive. We are still awaiting a reply, independent journalist, luker of a give us his view on the way videos are being censored on the major online platforms. This is crazy. This come last 2 far before, as you say, i mean if you put a blur or a nudity, almost facebook or a trickster at the office, it was stopped immediately. No problem. But now they venture into political world. There are other things that you can say and those that you cant, especially if it comes from our t. V. It comes from russia. Everybody knows that tome, every american ness, an Assault Rifle and a submachine gun in the cupboard. There are too many weapons in america. And when you have thought of the left or on the right, you know, in the streets, ready to fight each other. Its very dangerous for the moxy. And this must be shown so that the people realize how far america is going to jump the gun. So it was certainly very young who are doing the job of selecting what is good or bad. I dont know really about all this relatively new to politics, to the all time politics. So maybe they dont really know what they do. It is just the beginning of censorship own being put in place in america, especially for russian news. Another story were closely following today. Armenians are furious about their countrys peace deal with seeing it as a defeat for the past 2 days or so. Europe has been gripped by unrest with protesters calling on the Prime Minister to step down. People have been gathering outside parliament in the are many uncouple throughout the day where there is a heavy police presence. Multiple arrests of a made. We spoke to locally based reporter joe so back in Freedom Square today in your own city center. Its not the opera house scene of yesterdays protests where there was a clash between right police and protesters. Around 2000 protesters were here yesterday, 3000, similar, probably a bit smaller crowd today, but theres also reports of protests across the city. Outside the s. S. , the National State security offices, are not Flood Parliament itself. Just some commotion behind me is as riot police arrest, dispersing protests as i believe there was a couple of arrest just as a protest finished and it seems to be carrying on behind me. The protesters is largely organized by opposition parties, although only 2 of them are in power. The 17 parties who is called on the protests and called for the Prime Minister mikhail passion and to resign. Since his speech yesterday was made on monday with azerbaijan, which has been seen as trichuris by these protesters who have labor to make up as a passion on its own with sleaze trying to approach her and trying to produce a respirator is behind me. Its not like with us tonight, a special moment. Its a, youre about the more i promise, but it looks like its still kicking off tonight. Meanwhile, Russian Military helicopters have landed in nagornokarabakh as part of a peacekeeping contingent moskowitz, and close to 2000 troops into the area to monitor the seas. They are now guarding the key routes linking current back to our near so far. 6 temporary observation, post being set up well under the new car, a back treaty by john will hold on to its military gains. Meenie is obliged to hand over 3 districts by the end of the month. And as reported russian peacekeepers will patrol the line of contact between opposing forces. A Prisoner Exchange will also be implemented. Germy kinsmen who served as canadian ambassador to armenia. Explain to us why hes optimistic about the peace deal. Theres nothing wrong with patriotic commotions, but when we are directed with such hostility toward the other side from both sides, it takes great creativity to counsel people to learn again to live together. Its going to depend on the extent to which russian leaders change the complete cooperation of the leaders of the 2 countries in year 2000, very well trained. Russian troops will be very effective. But what will be most effective will be self discipline. On the part of the 2 sides, and i think that can only be a jade through communication from moscow. Where we are all set to cross to some more great programs and moments discover whats being served up forever here. Tuning in from today after the shortest operates, i mean, and only from the team and myself. Thank you for watching. This is our teachers. Yes. The impulse will stoop wolf will push sleeves to wu. Clubbable was sure i can order it doesnt actually matter. Vegetable would have been murdered by you to go with us because all of those who do use the bunkers, those stories could be game we will see in the, in the movie it is with it would seem to most news, but its the most severe. Some of it is in your speech coming off the news, the in the 20th century was thinking of revolution, the Great Depression and world war the 21st century, real mental illness, those arent my words. Thats whats the
