If it was flawed it doesnt matter what her from her. On the other side i have read this is an innocent mason who have you personally remember whatever. And. That he did 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 worked 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 wants to be clear that this story is only jiggled to be fact checked by facebooks the policy front chicken partners 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. The advisor 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 wrap it up in the very stories that are getting suppressed seems to indicate Trump Supporters might be on to something. Big attacks by is clear and obvious twitter and facebook have censored President Trump and his campaign at least 65 Times Combined yet they havent touched any of joe bidens the council even once 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 creepy without such services and advertising got back to that a better later on in the program. Upgrade of our story new covert 1000 restrictions in the u. K. Have seen politicians who wants the mayor of Greater Manchester has a lashed out at westminster saying the imminent lockdown in his region will push people into poverty thats after talks to avoid their stricter measures collapsed on tuesday we made a generous and extensive offer to support mentors does business didnt accept this unfortunately given the Public Health situation i must marry proceed with moving great amounts as i say to the very high level no point today where we offered in order to protect the poorest people in our communities through the punishing reality of the winter to come i now look to parliament to be a make a judgment on a by lunch or framework for 3 lockdowns whats really striking about this latest disagreement is the politicize ation of it as seen by some with the labor. Im holding out saying that this city with its falling number of cases since that speak 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. Amount close around my 2000000. 00 pounds is 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. 00 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 and deepening the mare of manchester for really they were the way the b. B. C. Put it was bending them into government over a barrel and really sticking hard on this one and defending those people because that the economic package they announced just it wont 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 play since to think about giving people the correct by not just. People are going to be able to survive a bit so. They stay stupid yet the government still insisting this part of the country should be going into 2 or 3 lock down what that means for those especially the lowest paid in the cities well its going to be a long dark winter ahead. Well starting on friday quite so much still will be put in the top risk bracket for covert cost as to 3 so that means a ban on mixing between household guidance against travel out of the area and the closure of pubs we had from local councillor alan brett to labels the drastic measures as misguided. Im still not convinced that 3 d is the solution to the rising rates especially my birth in this time if race starts going to change then obviously the got more variety and were on the big issue is to protect lives and hes also to make sure our economy different on its an old fart i think that if youre a poor and youre in a low d income job youre more likely to catch this disease and youre more likely to who are problems so if the lights were out of a caucus on interest from gauged then although often is the local economy it will get by the way it. It will are saying to the poorest ringback members of the community while from the u. K. To the rest of europe why the 2nd wave of 1000 is gathering pace in belgium france and spain are on high and not those countries now have case numbers fall higher than during the peak back in spring with more on how governments a bottoming to flatten the cause of his pita all of us from berlin. Lots to get through different measures being taken in Different Countries across europe will start from where im talking to you from here in germany while 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 bavaria in the south of the country 2 and a half 1000 tourists being told youve got to go and they have to go immediately says the berchtesgaden a region goes into this full lockdown 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 krakow 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 she moved to the chinese we must also think about darcus naurus if were 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 that thats 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 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. Mix with one another and your not supposed to go more than 5 kilometers from your own at home in measures that will last until the beginning of december i understand and i feel very personally and profoundly the sense of disappointment the feelings of loneliness perhaps even this the despair that this announcement 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 lawn that 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 as they did back in the spring and the 1st wave of covert 19 going on on the ground respiratory viruses do not have legs it is people who spread them lumber the 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. In france people continue to mourn the slain teacher samuel party 47 year old was brutally killed last week and what was later declared a terror attack on tuesday thousands gathered to pay tribute following a vigil in his hometown a crowd of grieving people joined a silent march with many of the mourners carrying placards bearing parties portrayed last week that he was beheaded outside his school in a suburb of paris before his killing he had shown his students a series of cartoons including 2 depicting the muslim prophet mohammad in a class on the freedom of speech now the suspect is an 18 year old wrecking of chechen origin he was later shot dead by the police when. Response to all this the french government ordered the closure of a mosque accused of having links to the killing the pace of wash up outside the capitol had posted a video calling for a campaign against the teacher and while the needs of the mosque apologize for posting the clip he did also denounce the shutdown water Everybody Knows that i am a socalled moderate muslim that i called 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 leaders have been given 48 hours to appeal the decision in Court Members of the congregation that believe that they are being unfairly punished for this gruesome murder. Only crucial to man we have a very kind of mom who speaks to us in a rabid french and doesnt tell people what to do she never gathered ours together to tell us to do anything bad. 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 i mean just 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 while later on in the day our correspondent sean difference he will be bringing us up to speed on the latest from paris so check back in the meantime lets get some stories in point at least 3 people have been killed during the recent wave of antigovernment demonstrations in nigeria the protests ongoing now for 2 weeks of calling for the opposition of a Police Task Force called saws accused of extortion murder and even torture in fact the uncle was initially sparked by a video allegedly showing assads personnel killing a man the protesters have only grown more angry and critical after the nigerian officials announced that the.

While still to come with a program that might cost them a pretty penny but sudan is set to be taken off the u. S. Terror list well tell you all the details when we come back. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation or community. Are you going the right way or are you being led so. Direct. What is true what is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the death. Or inmate in the shallowness. Join me every thursday on the elec simon show and ill be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. And now the u. S. Has pledged to take suit on off its list of terrorism state sponsors in exchange it wants khartoum to pay out hundreds of millions to tera victims and the start of modern diplomacy the american president on his 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 cost sudan to march currently washingtons list of terrorist states includes 4 countries so beyond sit on the us iran and north korea and syria this basically means thats subject to sanctions and they cant receive foreign aid from the u. S. Theres also a ban on arms sales as well as a number of financial restrictions sit on was designated a terrorist state off the harboring al qaeda leader osama bin laden. Terrorism expert david low believes the upcoming election may have played a significant role in this latest. 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 name another. Foreign policy victory essentially because in 2 days it will be another debate that will focus largely on Foreign Policy so he needs to go and talking about his achievements and so in addition to the immigrants and be the leaders of his achievements as far as he since this is even more about us elections that have been 20 percent. Another really big story and 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 and then also is one of the most significant legal challenges to a tech company and decades how did the legal one show any. Change. Shall. Remain save the finale. So regarding that question of monopoly its thought that the Company Holds 88 percent of the us such market with 94 percent of all lowball such as occurring on its surface its washington also alleges that Google Google suppresses innovation in the market by looking up distribution through contract with apple but its gonna stay pot considers this looks 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 owned everything including the manufacture new 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 paw google believes they will see it is didnt pay for what consumers buy pushing them to and its opinion of course and ferial 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 googl
