T. On thursday that it appears moscow will again be blamed for a crime it was not involved in with the story is more if a national. Relations between moscow and bearly now going drastically downhill germanys unexpected decision to expel 2 Russian Embassy staffers on wednesday has left more scope fuming Angela Merkel complained russia didnt do enough to has ceased tame the investigation into the murder of a Georgian National back in august and now barely says there is real and sufficient indication that russia was behind it i asked russias foreign minister Sergey Lavrov for his response. Russia and germany have special channels set up to tackle issues such as violations of the law we should use them they said we did not cooperate enough this is groundless some countries today recalled the tragedy of m. H. 17 my dutch counterpart said we didnt do enough then we supplied them with all the necessary information with data from our radars and so on we gave them everything where other satellite images to us promised nobody answered that we asked them what kind of cooperation they want from us they responded by saying you have to confess you did it that would be corporative if germany wants to follow suit nothing good will come of it thats not a good way to deal with anyone and with russia in particular is in 100 was a 40 year old georgia and citizen of chetan origin he was targeted in a berlin park on his way to a mosque with eyewitnesses saying he was shot in the head and chest by a man on a bicycle his murder was then dubbed by the media as scree paul 2. 0 and the victim labeled as a kremlin opponent but who was the victim a right hand man to terrorists during the 2nd chechen war his role was to lead extremist groups in the caucasus and recruit spies and hunger shrill is reported paramilitary korea continued into 2012 when he is said to have assisted at georgian operation against his former comrades considered a terrorist by the.

Power to reporting from europe. A producer working for video agency was detained at this weeks nato summit in london and question of the terrorism act replaced chief content officer has been talking us through the details where of course very surprised when this happened as the media agency were going to cover 70th anniversary summit our producer was accredited for the summit which was confirmed to him via email by organizes having this in malik he went there on wednesday to pick up the pass to go inside and film which is normal procedure for journalists. So he showed this acceptance email and his passport and they told him that he had to wait in the lobby at this point he was approached by a plain clothed mine who presented a Police Warrant and requested him. To wait for Police Questioning i believe we can now listen to our producers own account of what happened i was approached by a number of Police Officers who requested my id and asked me to explain what i was doing i told them that i was a journalist waiting for my credit ation passed and i identified myself by giving them my passport press card and the accreditation approval letter the police then proceeded to detain me under the terrorism act they searched me and my belongings but laughter died he was told that his accreditation had been revoked and then police left like i said this came as a surprise to us because our producer has been covering events in the u. K. For a plea on many occasions including state events and other developments as an agency we do extensive coverage of things happening in the u. K. For example we were the only Media Organization that filmed Julian Assange when he was dragged out of the Ecuadorian Embassy in london last spring. As to this particular event in accordance where the nato accreditation procedure as they say in exceptional circumstances there is of the right to revoke accreditation even if it had been confirmed what kind of exceptional circumstances were talking about here remains unclear to us we filed a formal request to the organization right after the incident requesting clarification but we havent had we havent heard back from them yet was this type of incident a one off hour later all of it well i would say that we have no. Ever experienced anything like this with nato as such but 2 years ago when 2017 were denied accreditation for a high level security conference called struck calm summit struck com is a strategic. Communications center of excellence theyre not part of nato as such but they are a nato accredited military organization so theyre related. Back to the organizers wrote us an email that they were denying us accreditation because we are affiliated with our see and they said they dont consider r. T. A Journalist Organization so as for this weeks summit near london i know that 2 reporters were working apparently without problems so were waiting to see what the reason was for denying probably accreditation. Which is updated terms of service will now be able to put limits on content and thats raising fears that the social media platform could apply socalled shadow bans that effectively means suppressing publicly posted content without the users knowledge the posts are not visible to followers its an accusation the twitters face before birth dawn of reports next it could become the norm for next year. Twitter is coming out of the shadows remember all these media figures accusing the social platform of sneakily hiding their posts from their followers feeds what big brother hides from us what is referred to as shadow banding may be even more pernicious if youre on the left maybe youre ok with this but if youre not on the left or even if you are and you revere the 1st amendment you should be concerned thats actually been well substantiated vice news which is not a right wing outlet says that this is happening on our own team basis to a lot of folks on the right side of the aisle but almost never people on the left side of the aisle do not know our island people very nice thats what i think is that youve got to be balanced house leader Kevin Mccarthy wrote our chairman a letter and said hey this is going on and we think your committee should investigate it and how the twitter boss made a surprise an innocent face saying that oh no no no theyre definitely not going behind anyones backs to quietly hide their opinions twitter undertook no behavior to selectively censor conservative republicans or conservative voices on your platform correct correct. Well apparently all those assurances were just a big pile of nonsense now for those of you not too tech savvy im talking about a thing called shadow banning to the shuttle banned user everything looks just fine they can log into their account follow calm and like even post tweets but crucially their posts are simply not shown in other peoples feeds even if they are subscribed to the user twitter had been adamantly denying that it does this until it slipped this one small change into their constitution we may also remove or refuse to distribute any content on the services ltd strip you show visibility of any content on the Service Suspended terminate users and reclaim usernames without mobility to you its a case where just a couple of words make all the difference the part about limiting tweet visibility was not in the previous edition of the document here it is nothing of the sort there and one can only wonder why twitter has decided to come clean all of a sudden perhaps because after all the outcry from the users wronged by the platform it simply made no sense in denying it anymore or and maybe because the twitter star film had previously outright confessed to shadow banning already on hidden camera one. From one. But dont want to share. Theres even a lawsuit against twitter accusing it of discriminating against conservative voices by your employing its shadow banning tactic but now that its in the terms of service some users will just have to accept that they are talking to themselves. Its not so much that twitter or facebook or any other social media platform have influence what they have is the power to promote certain peoples opinion and d. Promote tell of the peoples influence on twitter that is the critical thing and what we need to do is have a fair platform we need to have a free and open discourse and we need to allow everybody to have a similar right to say what theyve got to say i dont agree with absolutely everything that he said on twitter not even the conservative stuff that were talking about but actually it shouldnt be for these Big Tech Companies to decide our discourse our discussion our debate in our own country that is manifestly unfair and its not a business decision actually its a public utility and thats a critical point. One of the stars of the hit Netflix Series narcos wagner maura has blamed the lead bank in his native brazil for creating a political monster hes been speaking exclusively to r. T. Is spanish host and former ecuadorian president rafael career and limited i mean how could the people who great brazil choose such a primitive person is both road is never going to look this is a good question well see the perhaps the fact is that when. You dont. You dont even think even you have no answer and a blue one. But during the government of lula and we lived in a certain isolated world the country has reached a new level 30000000 people have moved out of poverty airports are full of people like never before more black students are attending universities we lived in a certain isolated world because lula is a magician he achieved a reconciliation between social classes which was unlikely to ever happen in brazil told the bankers dont worry everything will be fine the only thing i want is to get people out of poverty you will not lose your positions and your income and for some time despite high prices for Raw Materials everything went well but then the economy collapsed and humans did not possess the same ability or charisma as ruler and then the elite which temporarily agreed to this agreement said thats it but some of. It was and i even think that the same elite which had no other choice but to support was so narrow is now beginning to realize what kind of monster theyve created and is now trying to distance itself from a stance on the newspapers wrote that lula was a thief and insulted duma they do the same with culture figures here for example i have a lot of lawsuits with journalists because i did not know that i will sue them they say that i use the law to promote culture because i have leftist views and support leftist ideology and i filed lawsuits against the media but what happened to move is a real mess. The head of the International Olympic committee has backed the findings of a World Antidoping Agency panel over alleged attempted results in the Moscow Laboratory database which has strongly denied the accusations after issuing its own technical investigation and response are things ready to cotton over picks up the story. A group of russian technical experts have conducted their own investigation and rejected claims that moscow manipulated athletes test results in a slab or a tree database they claim that moscow has transferred all the information required to wada and never tempered with the results of the probe now we turn now doubt the database could have been altered by those who had admin access to the system and according to the experts those people would be the Program Developer and his team who actually back in 2015 fled to the united staes right as the doping scandal ask elated when russian experts say that they were the ones who tempered because they had admin rights russian experts have found that the developer of the limbs the most mr make it you of and his colleague mr socialist how did ministries access to the system as a result of the research the russian side is determines the database used to the most has been changed from time to time and after mr roach. And so believe ski fled to the us the database had been in fact run via the internet from los angeles until june 26th seen the situation changed in 2016 when it was revealed that such manipulations took place the Russian Agency was guarded and 2016 within you had of the department appointed but a problem seemingly still exist there are actually 2 copies of the database one that was given to wada in 2017 by an unknown whistleblower and the other one provided by the russian side in general this year and the group of experts now believes that it is essentially wrong to compare these 2 coffees because of their different origins while the 29000 copy was produced following all the necessary technical requirements the other came from unknown digital front here after possibly being tampered with and that is backed by avid and found during the investigation conducted by the experts. A russian led criminal investigation has found a mechanism of deliberate tampering with a doping test results deeply integrated into the lymph system so what do we have now well despite numerous offer is coming from russia to create a united and independent Investigation Team into this matter what and has been either avoiding or even rejecting these attempts russian experts explain why they think this happened. In this case we think its probe what is Intelligence Investigations Department tried by all means not to undermine trust in the information provided by the whistleblower and the conclusions made by mr mclaren and now of final decision on the case will be made on december the 9th in paris russia could now face a 4 year ban from hosting major sports competitions and clean athletes made to compete under a new trial flack. Next weeks general election in britain seems to be the next to russia linked to scandal on the horizon the Opposition Labor Party leaders being accused by the Daily Telegraph newspaper of helping to spread russian this information its
