Ballots being ran through that here believing machines numerous times being counted 8 or 10 times i know it was a return address. Thousands of. You watching r. T. International just on 5 oclock in the afternoon in moscow now as we enter a new phase in the fight against the coronavirus we are again faced with uncertainty thats because the c. E. O. Of the Company Behind the vaccine about to be rolled out in the United Kingdom next week admits that they dont know whether those with the jab can still transmit 19 to others in an interview to n. B. C. Even though it could have protection and most still able to transmit it to other people. I think this is something that needs to be examined we are not certain about that right now. Ok lets get more on this now from shadow. He joins us from london good afternoon shadier. Then from the sea are supposed to the recent uncertainty about this. Well put it this way 2 days ago it was the news we were all of waiting for it was described as a historic moment but now it seems like its historic for all the wrong reasons the approval of course of the kind of it 1000 vaccination just a few days ago by the british medical regulated meant that as soon as next week the vaccine could be rolled out but now its been proved almost too good to be true of course the United Kingdom was celebrating being world beating world leading and now it seems as though it potentially is just to give you take in the science of all of it not because pfizer has come out to admit that actually while the job might be 95 percent effective against 19 there is by no means any guarantee that it can prevent carrying and the transmission of covert 19 as well now interestingly the e. U. Regulator and the us Top Health Officials have both come out say that the u. K. Has entirely jumped the gun here its been far too quick in its procedures because for that for their every settings they think that approval process is necessary to ensure safety and effective ety. Kind of a real around the corner of the marathon because. They really rushed out of. Well regardless 40000000 doses of the vaccination have been preordered by the United Kingdom the 1st supply the 1st batch is headed to the United Kingdom set to be rolled out throughout the rest of the country could be available as soon as next week meaning immunization could be as early as the next few weeks top of the list of of course the most vulnerable in Society People over 80 plus care home residents and stuff and then of course those on the front 9 in the n. H. S. However there are some concerns and many people have crossed even here within the United Kingdom some say theyll be a huge lack to all of this and next week is very very soon just around the corner plus us logistical fears as well in terms of the distribution of the vaccine because this vaccination needs to be stored in minus 70 degrees and thats all there is handling it so they need a lot more instructions on how to do so but then theres a political narrative in all of this many people have long criticize the government allegedly arguing that theres been government failures in dealing with the covert 19 pandemic and they say that this is just more talk rather than action and its only been exacerbated today by cabinet ministers who are ramping up this rhetoric. Just reckon weve got the very best people in this country weve got the best bet is much better than the french better than the belgians have much better than the americans and that doesnt surprise me so because we are much better country than every single one of. Using will in. The number of deaths in the u. K. Must prove that we are in march worse come true than france and belgium not the us. What the facile boost that sort of thing you hear in the playground not from an m. P. On National Radio well beaching jingoism. The brits got it 1st because of how badly theyre doing in controlling covered 19 so exactly the opposite of what theyre claiming. Today governor williamson saying that the United Kingdom is world leading and is a much better nation than any other but at what is the question the public really have. Ok thank you shouted that was surely it was dashed the reporting there from the. Turkish president has called for change at the very top in front slamming emanuel mccrone and calling him a burden relations between the 2 nations have hit a serious lows paris looks to crack down on a wave of radical terrorists lets get more on the story now with our middle east correspondent for the way of paula good afternoon can you explain then exactly why what is behind this verbal attack on the french president well these back between the turkish president and the one and fran and that of france has been deepening for quite some time now and there are a number of reasons 1st and foremost the french president mccrone prompted outrage in the muslim world last month when he defended the right to publish the cartoons of prophet Mohammed Nabbous angered the turkish president it came in the wake of the killing of a french teacher samuel petit and not only was there one but other leaders particularly in the muslim world were angered by this everyone responded by saying that the attack on muslims was similar to the attack against jews before world war 2 and he questioned the Mental Health of the french president micron is a burden on france mccrone and france are going through a very dangerous period actually my hope is that france gets rid of this mccraw in trouble as soon as possible. Another reason for the spat is that the French Senate adopted the resolution calling for the root of all and the withdrawal of Azerbaijan Forces from territories that had been captured in disputed regions on september the 27th what we heard from the senate is that they recommended that the Government Draw conclusions on the wall there turkey played and at the same time take Decisive Action against both and korea and its european partners. Ok thank you paula that was arties porus live there with the latest. So in other news tonight employees of russian affiliated News Agencies but news and veer have been released from interrogations on the condition that they will not leave latvia that after the journalists were charged with violating e. U. Sanctions with more on the story his the man close race. All we know at the moment is that theyve been accused of violating personal European Union sanctions against the c. E. O. Of russias a receipt a seaboard a news agency be tricky still for now Russian Foreign ministry they have already reacted to whats happening in riga and they said that latvias crackdown on russian speaking journalists under the pretext of the violation of a huge sanctions is absolutely unacceptable the Foreign Ministry also said that the e. U. Restrictions are all of a personal nature against mr kissel off and they cannot apply to just about everyone who cooperates with the news outlets that are under his management and they consider the aggressive actions of. Security service a blatant example of violating the foundations for Democratic Society which is freedom of media and expression it is a completely punitive action which leaves no doubt about the use of 4 big subtext of the fabricated accusations you would think a crackdown on dissent violation of the fundamental principles of freedom of speech were totally incompatible with the status of an enlightened european state but thats the case and that the complaint to for so dissenting media is gaining momentum now the accused journalists and their colleagues certainly. Outraged and mind you this is a criminal indictment against journalists and theyre being persecuted for coal parading with russian news outlets now that crackdown on the russian speaking latvian journalist. Well it had all of the intimidating attributes and features and there were searches and homes and places of work there was confessed cations of personal property and equipment they were interrogated which lasted for hours one person was interviewed for 8 hours terribly after all of that was done the journalists were released but they were asked to. In latvia enough to leave the country and of course sign a nondisclosure agreement sputnik had a statement about this as well the long term citizens are accused of violating the sanctions regime because of their work for the receipt of civil and news agency because its a lot of money and is tonia the agency subject to the personal sanctions of the imposed on the agencys general director dmitri q. Sort of intuitive foreseen now Russian Mission and the sea they also expressed their concern they tweeted out saying this is another flagrant violation by rigo of the always see commitments on freedom of speech and access to information persecution of russian speaking journalists in the baltic countries is not something new for example just the end of last year going into this year sputnik. There journalists were forced to break their contract with the sputnik because this tony and police were threatening them with jail terms of up to 5 years so basically they were forced to resign and police also cited these 24 new sanctions personally against mr however the outlets that weve been talking about today none of them have ever appeared on the sanctions list so thats what we have for now what america itself some people did take a stand against these challenges we also heard today from that journalists. State affiliated media. Are all over in the United States in israel in many other places what is the army radio in israel what is the b. B. C. What is the voice of america if one starts a tripping journalists are other then Media Persons just because their livelihood depends on the state already on some our reach person who owns the network that is unfair and journalists the world over should rise up against the question with question is why have they done this no and of course the the wider question is is it legitimate to use sanctions as a means of preventing the alternative use that you dont like and of course at the most extreme we saw that in the news for you slowly the bombing of the Serbian National t. V. Station or the missiles that were used to take a 0 offices in kabul during the the afghan war. Now the u. S. President elect joe biden has invited her to his inauguration and plans to that it will give a positive sign that the postelection chaos is coming to an end however it is unclear whether the millions who still think the victory was stolen from from believe that this move will heal the divisions. Now. From supposed to still coming out chanting stop the steel as you can see and citing multiple irregularities that is despite officials in swing state youll just saying that the 2nd recount should confirm biden as the winner in court and the reputation of u. S. Elections as a whole may be a little bit tanishq by whats happened. Is only about a month left until the big transition of power in the white house and yet it looks like the battle for the presidency is not yet over this may be the most important speech ive ever made i want to provide an update on our own going efforts to expose the tremendous voter fraud and irregularities which took place during the ridiculous lead along nov 3rd elections if we are right about the fraud. Joe biden cant be President Trump is sticking to his guns still insisting he was cheated out of the election and calling on the Supreme Court to overturn the results his lawyers though have yet to prove their case and the Justice Department says the Current Administration is full of baloney so what is it that the Trump Administration is making such a fuss about while in new york one u. S. P. S. Driver claimed a trailer with thousands of ballots disappeared into thin air i knew it with return addresses filled out thousands of them while in wisconsin an ex postal worker even claimed his coworkers were ordered to backdate the ballots u. S. P. S. Employees were ordered to backdate ballots that were received too late to be lawfully counted ballots in liveries in the middle of the night people filling in the blank ballots for by misplacing duplicate souther wisconsin poll workers claim similar violations as well as the widely shared testimony from this michigan election contractor who claimed she blew the lid off some dodgy dealings in detroit there was. Actually the ballots being ran through that had delayed in machines numerous times being counted 8 to 10 times her testimony has already been put through the wringer of Public Opinion and the Justice Departments also made up its mind about these claims we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election. The thing is though the d. O. J. Wont say why what does raise the eyebrows of conservative officials all were asking for is own where there is evidence of improper impropriety that you examine and we want the transparency we want to understand is investigation going on. What kind of investigation what are you looking for for years americans have been told evil russian meddling is undermining democracy and now that biden seems to have won the election theres not so much as a whisper on that front to the russians really just decide to sit out this very important election or perhaps the very system itself is at fault here its clear that these elections are corrupt through and through but not for the reasons that donald trump highlights the corrupt are going through because theres an Electoral College that does not recognize the popular vote theres already a complete lack of trust people do not respect the Electoral College most americans cant even explain the Electoral College provide any type of justification or logic for which there is none Many Americans dont even participate in president ial elections because they understand that its. A choice between 2 oppresses for the next 4 years between tweedle dee in tweedledum. Trump is just expose the system from the right in created these fissures that have long existed dont go to report and then you watch you know is he going to take a quick break have more nice and a couple of minutes. Continuity or change this is what is being asked when considering a potential. Point to undo obamas legacy will be the same trumps like this or is this all only rhetorical continuity drives Foreign Policy not the occupant in the old. Fellow again c. N. N. Biased against thats how a us conservative group has described leaked tapes of Conference Calls held by the us they by the news network and one clip. The c. N. N. Special correspondent is heard describing how shes been advised by lawmakers to avoid giving trump too much. I just keep hearing the same thing from republicans who have not been there to congratulate me. But also to you know what happened to democrats and that is that we have to be you know news organizations have to be. Responsible. Not keeping track too much of a platform. To heating. The trolls additional to go forward well the correspondent himself that hasnt commented on the released types yet to all the Networks Communications team has tweeted the project very task may have broken the rule by snooping on its stuff and have referred the case to ignore him forstmann the piano cations manage us a project very task a for my colleagues muscatel of his views on the types and whether he faces the election. You hear the outgoing president of c. N. N. Jeff zucker dictating to his hosts Reporters Editors and producers what the news will be not based on whether it is true not based on whether its important but whether or not it fits jeff zuckers world view and personal political agenda theres no diversity of opinion nobody objects nobody challenges c. N. N. Did react very quickly on twitter that said it is going to get your enforcement involved my question is are you ready and t. Think the door is on your side i dont believe for a minute that the police are to come knocking on our door everything that project veritas does is legal we have a very well trained and very well paid legal staff and im highly confident that everything we did was within the legal guard rails you know and no one has called us from from Law Enforcement thats just something they said that tweet came from cnns p. R. Staff and i think you can call that a p. R. Stunt and i want to ask you one of the tables what todd and youll private discussions with that is his workspace would you support it as well don who is objecting c. N. N. I mean they ran secretly recorded tapes of 1st lady malani a trump just weeks ago they were in the access hollywood tapes they ran tapes secretly recorded of mitt romney when he was the 2012 republican candidate for president the idea that c. N. N. Is suddenly upset. About somebody were chris secretly recording a meeting or a Conference Call and put and putting out to the public thats absolutely absurd. C. N. N. Chief jeff zucker ordering employees not to normalize trumps claims on the election legal media analyst the line who told us that he believes that news outlets which do shut the most about their impartiality usually show the least. So the question is what role did okeefe play because if he if he just got the number himself and somebody lets it just gave it to him and he dialed in himself never being a part of us i think you may have legal problems but this is weird because now we have zoom cause and now we have new areas of conversation and conference its not a one on one conversation and dont forget lionels law the law always lags behind technology if we had done the same thing id say to our stocks or. How bad you we would maybe hear something maybe not as blatant as that but certainly a journalistic bias and there are other people who say this is the brand the idea of you tuning in to c. N. N. You want to hear a liberal anti trump stuff im sorry but thats a fact so being true to the bad brand to the shareholders they have to produce but heres the thing which is amazing when you look at people who go out of their way to see we are the news we are unbiased fair and balanced is this in essence a form of trademark law is this perjury do they enjoy any kind of liability for misleading the consumer if i tell you something is 100 calories but its 200 you Better Believe i may get a lawsuit well if im lying about the content why shouldnt it apply otherwise watch this being addressed in the courts coming up. 2 brothers have sustained horrific injuries after Israeli Soldiers apparently detonated an explosive device at their home one of the men who still in hospital shared his story. The army came at around 6 am while me and my family were asleep the soldiers placed an explosive device at the door and blew it up i woke up from the pain in my legs and found out the my brother was injured as well thats what i remember i was injured and then arrested while i was on the stretcher i was in a coma for 18 days i had surgery 9 times i even wanted to amputate my leg a month and a half later my father visited me and i didnt even recognize him at 1st and then i slowly started to improve but its now been 3 months how much brother has been detained without trial cording to his family their father described the shock of seeing his injured sons and questions why it happened. Where the burb came those stairs and from both my sons droning in their blood their legs shredded with pieces of flesh on the walls when the soldiers didnt or couldnt handle seeing my children it is brutal and inhuman why did they have to use this huge explosive device even our neighbors from 2 kilometers away heard the explosion i was allowed to visit my sons in the hospital a week later they were in a serious condition and then they arrested one of them without charge or trial he was sent to prison and when i visited him he was walking on crutches he had platinum in his legs replacing the bones because he was shattered but israel says it was carrying out an anti terror right seizing armed military operatives weapons and or sale ammunition a statement described the brothers as activists adding that a mad will be held in administrative detention until march of. And Israel Defense forces reserve officer says that israel does have to protect its citizens. I can tell you and testify form the field that the army do not wake up in the morning look for what looking for what door to break into they have intelligence they do they do beautifully went to that house precisely and you know the top polish you can deliberately hide beyond metal doors or human shields like women and children how common is it for the innocent palestinians to be injured by israel i didnt make any research about how common but i can tell you for sure that its very common to any jihad islamic activist to hurt deliberately innocent people in israel and the job of these early army is not to count innocent palestinian terrorists is only to take care of our citizens and prevent any attempt to kill them deliberately to kill innocent citizens in this world this is the mission of our i. D. F. Were not looking to hurt innocent people we are not waking up in the morning and say oh its a long time we havent been in geneva its time to break it go in janine its Intelligence Police sites intelligence we went there the leap to find this special theyre always we to break to bring them into prison thats what we did and we proceeded to do so meanwhile one of the brothers decided he has now acknowledged the raid was a mistake that doesnt want stance as to why matt is in jail. They treat every person in is a threat so we went to court because of the way the soldiers burst in as for ahmed they said his case is classified and accused him of being a member of the Islamic Jihad Movement Even though there was nothing against him. He got 6 months in prison and. The israeli army told me that i was injured by mistake a mistake made by one of the soldiers who thought there was someone inside the house so they decided to burst into the house in a brutal way which none of us expected after we were injured the soldiers started arguing with each other about why it happened but when i reached hospital they paid for everything and when the lawyer arrived he also said that the army acknowledges that its their fault me and my brother were both hit because of a mistake but he was arrested because hed been arrested before. The russian president has given a speech calling to transform the country by using digital and out in teligent but he wants to the technology needed to be carefully regulated and hawkins has more. In the coming decade we are to pursue the Digital Transformation of our entire country we are seeing universally implemented technologies and big Data Analysis and realizing our goals we must rely on a sovereign 2nd logical groundwork a 1000000000 rubles all the earmarks to pursue Digital Transformation of the Public Administration and should Public Services to the digital format many of which will be provided automatically to my teachers well president putin has always been very clear on the portraits of developing Digital Technology particularly emphasizing the domestic tech sector minute telecommunications and Artificial Intelligence and this was of course a key part of his speech today as well in which the president highlighted the need to update the countrys laws and legislative systems with regards to ai and in particular the segments of the economy that use it now with regards to this of course the safety and protection of personal data has been paramount its good for concerns that Many Russians as the country increasingly moves towards a Digital Economy and the president was clear that the violence needed to be struck between making that digital progress and protecting peoples data protecting peoples information in particular to do with data leaks. I ask the government to promptly present a bill allowing the creation of draft laws for using ai across economists and also present the strategy of how to use e. I. In practice so that it helps for example doctors at the same time all risks of personal data leaks should be prevented human rights should unconditionally be observed particularly now those proposals that the president mention is that they could come as early as next year early 2021 while he will put forward proposals to grant Ai Developers access to Government Data something that will of course need to be carefully monitored and controlled you also mentioned about the challenges posed to many workers and government officials why this is utilization. Processed by the moving of many aspects of life from offline to online and he said that while these pose difficulties and challenges for many people it all supposed opportunities for people to prove themselves and show their versatile qualities so it does seem that the spies all the difficulties that 2020 has posed the need to adapt to the economy very quickly its also speeding up this process of digitalisation and the country out also speeding up the evolution of. Maybe a tech sector and indeed good legislation as well because too much of the rate at which that is progress is was that whole can support and watch not International Get to have a company but have more stories and headlines and about our
