What they tell stories from the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments as well this is the week, the rti and welcome germany media regulator this week, band r t sr channel r t d, across all platforms. In retaliation, russia shut, done the Moscow Bureau of german broadcaster, deutsch avella, with the foreign ministry. Also warning of further measures, ortiz don quarter story. It was this weeks a biggest violation of freedom of the press in germany. The countrys top media regulator took r. T. D. Es broadcast off the air on the internet via satellite social media. Absolutely everywhere. The required media low license is not available. The organisation and distribution of the tv program by a live stream on the internet for the mobile and smart tv up archie, news, and via satellite miss that will be discontinued. What was russia left to do, but to respond and kind. Deutsch avella was told, its offices in russia will be shut down. Its Journalists Press accreditation, revoked, and its russian language broadcasts. Taken off the air on top of all that a blacklist was declared to include every one complicit in this enormous Censorship Campaign against r t. Russia is drawing up a list of representatives of states and public structures in germany involved in the streets in the broadcast of all c d and putting pressure on the Russian Media outlets who will be denied entry to the russian federation. Moscow promise. This was just the 1st stage of measures that it was willing to take after all this r t d e ban is only the latest episode in a drawn out Pressure Campaign thats been aimed at obstructing r t from broadcasting in germany. Sure, the government denies playing any role in all this, but its done nothing about the fact that a number of banks wont do business with our channel or that the countrys top media regulator seems unwilling to even reach a compromise. Thats all, despite our te, holding a legal european broadcast license. R t d was licensed in serbia under the European Convention of trans frontier television, r t t e can book cost as programs in 33 european countries, including germany. Or you can still appeal the decision, but how much good will that do at this point . Almost immediately after r t d e created a youtube account, the platform deleted it. When it tried to broadcast over satellite, the signal was so poor, people couldnt even to an in german officials have even labeled our german language channel. An irritant. Its not difficult to imagine that these problems were deliberately set up to impede our t d. s success, which i know about the closure of Bank Accounts and so on. Theres a large number of tactics they using. So r t d cons operate, theyre infringing on freedom of speech. And thats very bad. And yet berlins acting like moscow took these measures out of the blue r t d e z. Kindly broadcasting without license and the channel has not applied for license the german state media officers decision was based on this. This is a completely different situation to deutsch, vela, his license has been revoked. Profit this was the 1st time or even maybe the 2nd time r t was obstructed from broadcasting one might say, rush overreacted, but r t d e was entirely banned from broadcasting in germany. And that is no small step in the wrong direction. Ok, well just share some opinions on this. We spoke to film director morton traffic, who sees the ban on our tv is aimed at silencing those who challenge mainstream narratives in the western hemisphere. So much or what comes up the russia is viewed with such suspicion. Because that, that creates a worldview where a lot of people are missing out on potentially valuable corrections or, or alternative viewpoints to look at the big tech giants who are already censoring, sometimes in very bizarre ways. Statements or viewpoints are supposedly unacceptable, is just a part of a general trend toward a curated or controlled media world. Or this is obviously, i think, connected to the prevailing political situation not least connected to ukraine. I would suspect are moving the program all now a strictly registered its 1st ever olympic curling event when this weekend, despite a team member testing positive for covert on saturday out the vision, winter games leading to claims of double standards for summer leads. Alexi chef ski reports now from the host city when to lympics are continuing in the Chinese Capital beijing and we may have a 1st scandal of big proportions here involving australian curling team. Now on saturday night, one of the team members tactfully gill, was tested positive for call it. However, on sunday morning, the chinese authorities said that she was clear to participate in the competition while observing close contact rules. While looking at curling and the way this game is played, you cannot imagine any way that this is free of any calls contacts. Jill herself was probably very surprised to hear the news already admitting she was heart broken. And the official explanation from the chinese authorities was that her coffee greetings were too low, and thats why she was allowed to participate. I had a look at how this was actually happening. And obviously gill had no mask on whatsoever. And move like that would seem as a very heart warming gesture from the Health Authorities to allow athletes with low symptoms of coffee. 19 to participate in the games had its not being for multiple heartbreaking stories involving many athletes from across the planet who had been preparing for the games before. Yes. Tested positive up on arrival and were forced to miss out on the lympics. Here in beijing, such as the case of a russian by athlete was salva, who was immediately taken into isolation upon arrival, having tested positive for covet. And just a few days back, she put a post on instagram describing horrible conditions as she described it. She has been kept in on top of that, there are many cases involving colleagues of mine, journalists who have also tested positive. Im been locked away and even more so those who were on the same plane with them and was sat next to them despite testing negative, are also put into moderate self isolation. Just to remind you that all of us here are living in a bubble. We are be allowed to be inside the hotels and at olympic. Venues were not allowed to go into the city. But with all these new regulations and rules imposed by the chinese authorities, all this seems like an unnecessary requirement for us here. Why are we supposed to be in a bubble when people like gil, are allowed to participate despite having tested positive for corporate . Well, at least its not all that sour for many athletes winning golds and fill those already. That is the case of Alexander Bush and off of the Russian Olympic Committee team who managed to win gold in the sky race. And that is the 1st gold for the r o c team here in beijing. Of course im keeping you updated with everything happening here in the Chinese Capital electra, the rti reporting from beijing and china talking of sporting contests. A veteran reporter it clashed with a u. S. State Department Spokesperson this week. Also official failed to back up their claim that russias planning a full flag operation to justify a war with ukraine. What is the evidence that you had that suggested that the russians are even planning with matt . Im not saying that theyre not, but you just come out and say this, and they expect us just to believe it without you showing a shred of evidence that its actually true other than when i ask, or what anyone else asked what the information you said, well i just gave it to you, which was just you making a statement. We do so we do classify information only when were confident in that information. If you doubt, if you doubt the credibility of the u. S. Government of the British Government of other governments and want to you know, find solace and information that the russians are putting out. That is, that is for you to do moscow says its not surprised by yet another string of accusations saying its reminiscent of 2003 when the u. S. Made false claims of iraqi weapons of mass destruction. We lost the full text of the confidential us Nato Response to nato security concerns has been leaked. The document will have published by Spanish Daily l place. Later confirmed answer fenton by washington. My colleagues need harvey in south sky taylor, discuss that content. Over the past few weeks, weve seen at the highest diplomatic levels, rileys of accusations of verbal sparring, and thats just whats been happening and publics. We can only imagine whats going on behind closed doors. But now a fresh document leak has offered us a glimpse into what is indeed happening behind those doors. And its really showed that moscow in washington, alongside nato, a very, very far from reaching any kind of consensus with regards to ukraine, issue, uninsured. Well beyond move, not that does seem to be almost a blind unwillingness from the military alliance to recognize any of russia security concerns. Now, the Spanish Language paper open hasnt managed to get it hands on the nato and us response to russia. Security proposals now will remember those proposals they were sent back in december. They fin triggered a flurry of diplomatic talks and calls and essentially they requested legal guarantees, restricting for the nato expansion, specifically with regards to ukraine. The document that were thing now though, reveals a very blunt response from washington and brussels. And its in all states should respect the right of other states to choose or change security arrangements and to decide their own future and Foreign Policy free from outside interference. In this slide, we reaffirm our commitment to natos open door policy under article 10 of the washington treaty. We have of course, requested comment from both nato and the us state department. But if we take just this document, it seems that it is an open shot case. Them, they will not compromise, that is despite flat and person warning that this is a very reckless disregard of russias concerns. Its not well for help, because do people realize that this could potentially set all nations involved down a very dangerous path of no return associates . Just because when you much listen carefully to what i say in ukraines own doctor. I know documents it is written that they plan to return crimea, including by military means that its not what they say publicly. Imagine for yourself that ukraine and nate members will begin military operations in crimea. What do we do . Go to war with the nato block. Has anyone thought about that . So the situation is, it seems to me both sides refusing to budge and let him pitch and set it there in a slightly different context. But what do we do . Whats versus reaction . Been to this moscow house already sent, follow up questions to this document. So clearly that there is a desire for continued a dialogue. But most disposition on this has been consistent from the beginning. It recognizes, of course, that every single country has the right to determine its own policy and assure its own security thought is not whats being disputed. Here. The issue is when countries choices have ramifications beyond its borders and actually post a very real physical threat to someone else. And lets just be clear. A potential natal launchpad located in ukraine is just a couple of minutes miss all away from, from russia. So its essentially, i think, this fear that really underlies russias concerns, even though you know shows abortion is just ignoring our concerns, the u. S. And need to refer to the rights of states to freely choose how to insure the security. But its not just about giving someone this right. After all, this is only one parts of the well known formula for the indivisibility of security. The 2nd integral part says that one should not allow the strengthening of any one security at the expense of the security of other states. So the wash and liters asking why must we thought precise, our security that someone else can feel safe . Not said it would be remiss if i didnt point out that the document has some encouraging moments im talking about. Reestablish the communication long military channels, reinstating the nato office here and moscow discussing arms control. So reducing miss l deployment to ukraine. But if we get to the bottom of it, lets be blown. According to this document, the west responds to an almost existential concern of russia, as we hear you. But we dont care enough to do anything. And this is in fact case closed. Were not gonna discuss it further, but heres a list of much smaller things that we feel that we can give you to project an image that we are listening and being co operative but do nothing in any way to address your fundamental concerns. And with that kind of inflexible rhetoric combined, of course, with this ongoing footage of millions of dollars worth of weapons being sent to kiev. Its very difficult even with the best of intentions, to see where to move from. Now, south gate taylor taking those through the van still ahead. This is our London Police chief in the Online Software report reveals disturbing drive at messages between officers. Joking about rape and murder, the whole story coming your way in short. I to what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have. Its crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. Only personally and getting to resist. I dont see how that strategy will be successfully, very difficult time. Time to sit down and talk join me every 1st aid on me, alex simon. Sure. Ill be speaking to guess of the world of politics. Sport business. Im sure business. Ill see you then. Mm. I matt kaiser with more of my guy to finance all survive. All this is a hedge fund. Its a device used by professional galli wags to earn money. Thats right. These hedge funds are completely not accountable. And were just adding more and more to them. Totally stabilize the global economy. You need to protect yourself and get inform watkins report ah, 16 minutes into the program. Welcome back. Thousands of people have been rallying throats sunday, in the dutch city of brought her dumb against kobe vaccine regulations. Now the march was led by a group called Fire Fighters for freedom, who accused the government of violating basic freedoms on threatening democracy flourish were set off on the streets with an estimated 15000. 00 people taking parts and almost no Police Officers inside. Thats because the cities right police were on strike, also june, the vaccine rules, but netherlands has lifted many of its restrictions after months of harsh, locked on a cobra. Immunity passes are required to enter bars, restaurants on cultural offense. Now a police watch dog in the u. K has revealed a disturbing and turtle culture of miss saw genie and the attitudes on sexual violence. Now warning, you may find some of the following content offensive. Lets go through it. The report includes private messages between officers at the metropolitan police force which serves Greater London in one officer says hed like to rape. A female colleague, another jokes about getting a woman into bed using a knife or u. K correspondent, shabby edward dusty can tell us more. All careful incidents of hey crime involving racist, sexist and home aside. The messages have been discovered by a watchdog investigation into the police. Thousands of messages taking place between 20162018 were reviewed yet only 2 officers sucked. 9 of the 14 investigated are still serving in the 4th one another holds a contract to staff roles. Now the commission of faces schools to go, but not just from the public, but senior politicians, as well as former high ranking offices. Were not seeing one of instances weve seen now too many instances of the most appalling behaviors. I also think it shows a feeler of literature in some quarters. The met police may be the worst for institutional massage any and racism, but theyre not the only ones. Only a statutory judge lead inquiry will do. Only new leadership will do. Surely christ said it, they cannot be proud of her record when this is the norm in Charing Cross neck. Yet her 6th through your salary, past was renewed, last arden, which feels like rewarding failure. The defense just bank apparently, in fact the independent office. So please conduct found an officer was named the great the right, the following rumors about bringing a woman back to the Police Station to then sexually assault the met says it was sorry. We are deeply sorry to londoners and every one they have failed with their appalling conduct to acknowledge how this will damage the trust and confidence of many in the meant in the u. K. Officers are supposed to police by consent, but how can trust be restored or even wasnt what to investigate, to say the insidious culture is widespread. We believe these incidents and not isolated or simply the behavior of a few bad apples. The highly dumbing report is just the latest scandal under Police Commissioner crescent dix watch. Institutional feelings were placed under intense scrutiny by the rape and murder of sir evarado by a serving metropolitan Police Officer known to colleagues as the rapists during his career in. Im just the mecca serious about ridging the force of rotten abuses of power. Surely those individuals must go on that boss to all is a toxic, dangerous culture that yet again, leadership times a blind eye to any cost. When we actually started our issue and eventually on the score stopped all work and that one investigation, actually mushrooms and to 9 separate investigations and what we uncovered were cds. So the thing that was happening here was that they thought it doesnt just how devastate public confidence. It also has a devastating impact on the internal culture within the b service. Because these officers that were involved with the women, they were officers who come from different cultures and back no service as an doesnt promote culture, which supports officers no matter where they come from. And they wont enjoy their trust and confidence and enjoy the actual how can the to, when, and rebuild the trust and confidence of the community that these very offices come from the care. Unimportant story, nor to bring you unicef, say 6 children were killed out the time. The u. S. Conducted a special operation in northwest syria, President Biden hail 3rd. This mission the success. But carrying not islamic states chief, had been eliminated. Forces carried out the operation with their signature preparation and precision, and i directed the department of defense to take every precaution possible to minimize civilian casualties. Unicef confirms that at least 6 children were killed and one girl was badly injured overnight in the border town of asthma in the northwest of syria due to heavy violence. Meanwhile, the pentagon said 2 children and a woman were killed during rate when the ice leader blew himself off. A u. S. Department of defense spokesperson claims there are quote, strong, strong indications. American forces caused no civilian that. We spoke with juliet to ma from the u. Ns childrens agency about the cost of ongoing violence in syria. When we have seen an escalation and violence in that area on what this means is that children pay 1st and they pay most. And if we compare the number of casualties of children during the month of january in comparison to, lets say, december last year, the number is so its in the higher. And this has been the case since the beginning of the year. And this has got to stop children continue to be the 1st and most to pay in this 11 year long conflict. We call an old fight and all parties to the conflicts in syria to stop the fighting for the sake of serious children and its future. Also video has emerged of what said to be the helicopter, that us commandos were forced to blow up during the raid. Here you can see whats left of the vehicle. American officials denied, crushed, or was shot down on say, the crew is safe outing. Now. That was a mechanical failure that led to the helicopter being detonated. We spoke to locals, who say they witnessed the rate. Soon as i left them there, there were helicopters flying at low altitude, about 4 or 5 aircraft. Then we saw soldiers landing the soldiers target is a house where i live. The house was surrounded. They spoke through land speakers telling everyone surrender or the house would be destroyed. Then the fighting started near inside the house for about an hour. The helicopter carried out 4 or 5 machine gun attacks on the house of ok mama. We were preparing to go to sleep. And suddenly we heard when the sound of halley to see my aunt went to see what was going on. She found the sky totally red through loudspeakers to go out. We did that, but then they searched us and hank, my father, they asked our names and what we knew about our neighbors said we didnt know anything. They asked us to move to the neighboring house and started rating ours. While the operation in syria is believed to be the worst case of collateral damage, since the u. S. Dont strike on couple in august, which kill a 10 civilians including an entire family and not one terrorist or 3rd. Nicholas davies thinks such tragedies or just the tip of the iceberg. United states has been a war and all these countries and the middle east in the greater middle east. Over 20. Yes. The last few months. Weve had a couple of incidents where just because of the circumstances of the United States has not been able to deny the fact that it killed you know, large numbers of civilians have just been thousands and thousands of these attacks. And to think that, you know, these capital that we have recently heard about some how unique in the fact that they killed civilians is, is just to be, would be actually credulous. Not a passenger on american courier spirit. Airlines was told to remove his face math because they have the anti joe biden. Lets go brandon slogan on it. Video of the incident spread on social media, rocking up more than half a 1000000 views on tech talk alone during the week. Not america anymore. The america anymore. The company here. If i had a b, l, a mass guy, what is it been . Okay. What does that mean . Like lives out or . No. What does that grand in . What does that mean . Its my name. But isnt it . Freedom of speech to have the mascot is it . Is it a freedom to see . Is this massive home . I just, i cant well, massive says lets go brandon. Like this. Anybody, i dont understand. So the incident happened on the flight from cleveland to tampa in florida. One of the crew said it was unacceptable for the passenger. Other no, dont get to display what he claimed was a political statement, fighting airline policy. And we spoke to them himself, who says the incident is about the flight attendance, personal abuse, not the Airlines Route in the public. Youre an airline, its a company that they can enforce, you know, policies and things and things like that. But i still, they get balls on their freedom of speech because it was, you know, it was basically violated. It wasnt spirit, it wasnt spirit palsy that i should not wear this. So it was, it was a direct situation with the actual flight attendance. I mean, anything will offend anybody, and if its not, its all a personal thing. Its not, you know, she might have thought me might, you know, but is it Something Else was offensive if i but if i would had to see by the 2024 or 5 or anything, anything of that sort . What she had told me to take it off, you know, and i dont, i dont think that would be the case. I think if she would have like did, she would have, let me, let me where it slogan. Lets go. Brandon has become a rallying cry for people criticizing President Biden on his policy. It started with nascar driver, Brandon Bryan was being interviewed a few months back about winning a race. The crowd began shunting alex plaintive aim does biden. But the nbc reporter allegedly thought they were saying, lets go brandon passenger. Them raton guy, again, say selective. Censorship is killing freedom of expression in society. We, we do have free speech. I think its, you know, being taken away from us by one sided censorship. I mean you see on social media. Ready all the time that its you know, let them jump supporters, post, bang, you know, theyll be taken down or you know, things that they support. But if you talk to the other side, its not censored. So i feel like, you know, the freedom of speech. There is, you know, being, being taken away and its basically one side of now one of the most heartbreaking things a parent can do is sell one child, so the others can eat. And not very thing is happening today in a country dealing with what seems to be a never ending more our dog and dont sell me. Mama starts and mm. Well the pandemic, no, certainly no borders under slide number ts and you finish as emerge. We dont have authority, we dont have a vaccine. The whole world needs to take action and to be ready, people are judgment, common crisis with we can do better, we should be better. Everyone is contributing each in their own way. But we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. The challenge is great. The response has been massive. So many good people are helping us. It makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. Oh driven by dream shapes bankers and those with dares sinks we dare to ask ah, and traveling to the city has taken mel deleted his family several hours with him. His wife and son and 2 daughters, 9 year old layton and the horn, she is full after the long, bumpy, and dusty road. Theyre all tired
