Particular platoon didnt want us filming the. Very warm welcome youre watching R T International with me and. Were less than 2 weeks out from the u. S. Election on doesnt us a patient bill to the 2 president ial hopefuls all set to face off in the final debate on thursday but theres been a slight tweak to the rules moderators will now be able to mute the microphones of the candidates off the many dubs the previous event k. Also make the choice of topics this time has also raised a few eyebrows as it wont include Foreign Policy and many say this will deny trump the chance to hit out at joe biden over the business dealings of his son meanwhile robert republicans want to twitter and facebook has to testify before congress over alleged political bias follows the platforms taking down links to a New York Post article 100 to bidens business dealings in ukraine. Have delved into balance and a few other controversies. It is often the case that those who trumpet loudest about being fair and unbiased arent at all but facebook really seems to mean that they want Fair Elections no meddling and the president that america wants and facebook wants so today i want to share the steps that were taking to protect Election Integrity and make sure that facebook is a force for good in democracy part of what facebook is doing is harboring people to police news and one of the things that theyre censoring is about the current scandal so joe biden his son and ukraine which involves alleged meddling abuse of power blatant conflict of interest and a whole lot of money going into the bidens family counts now if you try to share a link to an article about this on twitter or facebook here is what you get the link you are trying to access has been identified by twitter or our partners has been potentially spammy or unseat in accordance with twitters you are poor see how does this happen how does that huge scandal get sent to the bidens have a lot of friends and one of those friends who now happens to work is Election Integrity police that facebook is a certain anima can do abner used to work as joe biden Senior Policy Adviser for europe and eurasia which includes ukraine perseid see when biden jr was raking in a standing sums of money for a Ukrainian Energy company for doing well no one knows what while daddy told ukrainian authorities how to run that country. An American City by Senior Policy Adviser for ukraine at the time also listened to the calls and said release of the transcripts would only strengthen bidens case that he acted properly she helped biden prepare for the conversations and said the old created at a high level if this wasnt enough corruption and cronyism for you adna was also a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council which dubs itself a nonpartisan think tank it also provided a slew of stuff for a bomber and his Democrats AdministrationJames Jones Susan rice etc the point is that the same time it was a devising joe biden at the same time his son was reportedly raking in millions of dollars from this Ukrainian Energy company the firm also began making payments to the Atlantic Council 100000. 00 in donations so under am his watch this company was paying both biden jr her bosss son and the Atlantic Council for which she worked and now shes at facebook which previously partnered with the Atlantic Council and are you at all surprised that stories critical of barton are now disappearing while i will intentionally not link to the New York Post i want to be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by facebooks 3rd Party Fact Checking partners in the meantime we are reducing its distribution on our platform breaking the news was ad d. Stone a career democrat and as is tradition now a facebook spokesperson you couldnt make this up remember what i said about those who proclaim the neutrality loudest well. Facebook is and always has been an open transparent and nonpartisan platform where people can express themselves freely freely are through approval from facebook senses and factious Election Integrity police and chances are a full of a joe biden stuff or aside from that yes free early i discussed the link between social Media Censorship on the american elections with a few of august. Facebook google and twitter previously vowed to prevent election to ferentz through their platforms to what extent do you think theyve managed to fulfill that promise i dont really know what twitter or facebook could have done what they have instead done is made a horrifying promise that they can regulate truth that is hard enough to do in a world that isnt politics where does information is part of the game they showed a significant bias in going after the hunter biden disclosures and ive read the hunter biden emails may strike me as perfectly valid perfectly plausible so i believe the story and i think that that that twitter and facebook are are deliberately trying to withhold information from the public in a clear effort to swing the election well we know that in contrast to what happened with uninvited story we didnt think about the christopher seal does which exploded across the world we get so used to get creams utterly discredited by our own f. B. I. So we needed to be Crystal Clear that whoever is these are operating these are events and our Previous Companies heavily say were says our Mainstream Media less than General Press and this is pushing down back aggressively right now in ways that i think we may very well suppress results and say the 2020 election in this country do you think many ways to be legal changes to restrict the power of Online Platforms to decide what we can accommodate quite frankly we are moving at a startling pace in terms of all these platforms and we dont have the laws that really apply to them theyve made promises they cant keep and they are trying to please their user base is based soley on the the outrage of the moment the important point is that the censorship is being imposed on facebook and twitter by the government the government is afraid of these platforms. Liberals and democrats are both pushing for increased government regulation and i think its an assault on free speech so i think of the she was much free speech as possible and that means there will be their speech but the only remedy for bad speech is good speech. Young volunteer in a leading corona virus vaccine trial has died in brazil the drug is being developed by the anglo swedish her masters zeneca along with Oxford University so far it hasnt been established whether the volunteer received the actual vaccine or a placebo since this news emerged shares in the Pharma Company have foreland but its not the 1st step back for this astra zeneca vaccine back in september the trials were temporarily put on hold after a volunteer fell sick with a rare spinal disorder this time however the trials will continue without delay following careful assessment of this case in brazil there have been no concerns about safety of the Clinical Trial and the independent review in addition to the brazilian regulator have recommended that the trial should continue we heard from dr mohammed moneer of the religious to britains Lancaster University hes there is the key question here is was the person who died given the real vaccine. If we do look on to the front runners vaccine Oxford University also send it up our commission vaccine is the one that have received the Major Concerns and terms of pauses in terms of having safety concerns and now having any volunteers who died but a bit in the phase 3 trial which is the last d a trial i think that is really concerning i dont think them that the real question will come back the da person has been vaccinated or was in the police or book group because i would be determinative for really seeing if the safety is good enough to continue the trial or not but looking really onto the onto the trial continuation because the brazilian government d approved to carry on the trial meaning that probably the person has been in the Political Group but a game the question is that about that the transparency in providing all that information publicly leaks is meant to change a lot because if it doesnt its really hard to interpret what we really is the actual situation on the ground. If a a struggle between amini and azerbaijan i think is going to cause them to its 4th week and whilst i see so no signs of letting up with reports of shelling in parts of the disputed region on wednesday on the front line has a ghost on off. Right now we head into the north to the Northern Front line which is one of the 2 remaining major hotspots in the corner care about our drivers brother is serving there so hes bringing food and warm clothes as were going our driver keeps glancing to the right theres only a couple kilometers between our car and does area artillery the road hes being heavily shelled. The homely smell of freshly big bread filling the car seems out of place as were approaching the frontline town so this is where we had to get out the city of that kept essentially they couldnt take us to the front line and in fact they didnt go either not only because its too dangerous but because the Commanding Officer of that particular platoon didnt want us filming there so that we dont give out their positions but the city of martek out of it has no rest this is just one of hundreds of craters left all around the city just this tuesday the Armenian Forces managed to repel a 700. 00 strong attack here now that the as every command knows how storage the resistance is theyve cranked up the bombardments by an order of magnitude. Live on our driver has to unload his cargo here he knows that there will be no shortage of Good Samaritans willing to pass it on to those in the trenches when theres a break in the fighting of course meanwhile live on and his friends can do more good collecting a new batch of supplies. Our friends from russia sent us what we need or we buy supplies ourselves and bring them to those who need it and i guess diana reporting from the Northern Front line in the going to karabakh artsy. Although tensions in a corner karabakh back more than 3 decades the fighting escalated in late september azerbaijan and armenia agreed on a human. Tarion cease fire but since of accused each other of violating it although the region is populated predominantly by Ethnic Armenians it is legally part of azerbaijan on wednesday azerbaijan claimed it took control of several villages in the water and region and the countrys Defense Ministry published this footage as alleged evidence we spoke to some as very refugees who fled their homes in a go no camera back almost 30 years ago when the conflict 1st broke out. Im overwhelmed with joy weve been waiting for this for 27 years and all of a sudden you hear the news of liberation when we were forced to leave our village i felt so terrible as i was leaving the grave of my brother behind me i was trying when visiting his grave for the last time as the enemy was approaching. By the time of occupation i had been married for a year and then a young child left her village with empty hands thanks to the authorities in our soldiers will be back home soon let my internal house with all belongings disappear i just want my land back i need that land. We left our hearts and souls in. Memories are tied to the city for these past 27 years ive been thinking of when we would return i lost almost all my colleagues i worked with we were scattered throughout the country i knew the city is liberated i can hardly believe it was the 1st thing ill do is restore my house i have so many dreams and desires for when i am back it is hard to express it in words i told my kids a lot but they need to see the place on their own to fully understand my stories leaving food really was the end of the world for me i was 14 all i remember is bombs being dropped on our heads i am so happy and grateful to our soldiers that i can make my dream come true the years of displacement will be in my memory forever i do not wish that on anybody. Because r. T. International still to come a number of german news there recently falling victim to vandalism and they raised about our correspondents on the hunt for answers among our stories coming up after the break. Beginning of this year we outlined 6 or 7 things that could be the pin to pop the bubble i think im not sure endemic was on that list but in general doesnt really matter what the pain is the bubble could have been. Eased in and deflated long ago but it never was and so now its chopping and Goldman Sachs is saying well you know this joe biden the wind outcome could cause a crash on the dollar maybe maybe not in terms of relating to the biden whether hes in or not doesnt matter actually whos in the white house today the fact is that the dollar is toast where garble stuff is in the white house. Seemed wrong. Why dont we all just dont hold. Any. Get to shape out these days come to africa. And engagement equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. You know what i mean you get there so you can think about it i dont mean you guessed it roman not new dorp or. Kind of what i want to be on the course of the now i think its higher than. Members of the african mafia has promised them safe and quick passage to europe but once they. Leave they are. Some of the libya my home on and off and you know if this unit can get it out i mean. They sold the. Lead. On court of the import data because the persona that a kid even. Welcome back lets take a quick look at some events happening around the world shall we the russian soyuz 16 spacecraft has left the International Space station and returned to earth that wraps up a half year mission for the 3 member russia a u. S. Crew upon landing they all underwent and mischel medical checks and have started were just going to a world with gravity. And reporter was is reportedly killed in a dozen injured in a protest in sudan there is anger in the country of the continued economic problems earlier in the week the u. S. Pledged to remove saddam from its terrorism blacklist of khartoum pays out hundreds of millions to terror victims.

S. Has caused confusion with its mixed messages about the ongoing presence of his troops in afghanistan bounce after officials linked a long promised reduction to conditions on the ground a further statement by the nato chief also failed to offer clarity on the situation Going Forward we will be looking at conditions on the ground to determine if there is a capability to draw down more troops which we would hope the conditions would allow us to do that but certainly the conditions have not been met at this time we went in just on the stand together we just together when the time is right when the conditions are met we will leave together in the cabinet an orderly way around 12000. 00 nato personnel are still deployed in afghanistan in support of its mission there while the u. S. Which sent in forces in 2001 as of july has got 8600. 00 soldiers on the ground this is all part of the trump administrations pledge of a total pullout by the spring of 2021 where the violence in war torn afghanistan persisting former british soldier joe clinton traveled there to investigate a series of civilian killings according to the Human Rights Watch these were committed by cia backed paramilitaries heres a snapshot of blantons report you can catch it in full on you tube on the redfish platform. So im back in afghanistan to find out the story behind the headlines crimes record levels of civilian deaths and the story of the 0 you know shadowy cia practice of death schools killing people in the us to come crashing into your point and theres. Been you know youre separating people there kill you or they take the 0 units arrived at the house of abraham and hajis nephews they interrogated them for several hours then they shot the weapon drops where in weapons would be placed on bodies to frame them as terrorists extra judicial killings the use of pictures pictures of dead bodies for propaganda when will you be referring the 0 units to the International Criminal court because these look to me like war crimes must change in one word if i could see it change the Current Situation that is not acceptable for us they had extensive documentation of their operations weapons caches kills and arrests for the local people there to support killers that are going there. Killing innocent people and the official line is that they are under afghan control the cia essentially controls it all. They fund it but they also control it they also hand out the operation this war is less accountable than ever what was once the job of u. K. And u. S. Special forces is now being carried out by these socalled 0 units and the fact theyre funded by the cia means they have no accountability to either the u. S. Or afghan government. Secretive vandals are striking in museums across the german capital and has given rise to a lot of speculation as to who could be responsible with some theories even including the socalled global elite satanists arties peter all of a tries to bring the pieces of this puzzle together.

And nom supporter hasnt been officially linked to the damage done in the museums but he has been one of the most vocal proponents of theories that global elites are not only using sites like the peg im on from the fairy tales but also behind the spirit of the coronavirus and his followers claim the poem on also which the museum was built to house in the early 20th century is being used for global sea it is of its importance on the stand pergamon also was located in the city of pokemon where christians were persecuted and killed jesus says in revelation 212 to 13 i know where you live where satan has his throne as well. As being a Public Health disaster the coronavirus pandemic has also provided 1st tile ground for some of the most outlandish conspiracy theories ever from 5 g.
