Just days after Vladimir Putin pledge to boost supplies to europe and the European Parliament passed as a nun binding resolution seeking to abandon police use of facial Recognition Software in Public Places with m e. Peace, healing it and major re guests that make the issue. This is good news. Youre being criminals on saturday, so itll be abused like crazy. Theres a great saying and Law Enforcement that when youre a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Ah, just now if youre falling from the evening here in moscow this friday, october the 8th, welcome to the news r and r t. My names union oneill. We begin with sour, with breaking news coming to us from afghanistan. Dozens of people have reportedly been kill and an explosion of a shia mosque in the countrys Northern City. Of couldnt dues, you may find the upcoming images of the aftermath. The stressing the bloss happened during friday prayers with a pack congregation inside. Conflicting reports, claim, or on 60 people were killed on up to 100. 00 more injured. A little bit taliban government claims the debt total is half that a suicide bomber was said to be behind me. Attack the taliban. Blame the eyes as k terrace group, which carried out the cab bul, airport blast in august, which saw scores of people killed. This latest incident follows a deadly exclusion on sunday. At another mosque in the countrys capital. On it all comes just 2 months since the taliban swept back to power in the country, filling the void left by the u. S. Lead withdrawal. Democrats in the u. S. Congress are going all arts with kohls for a cracked on on facebook. Following the clintons of a company with the lord. Although it now turns out that Francis Hogan has close ties to the party, something she feel to mention while demanding action against her. No former employer place looks products, harm children, stoke division, and weak in our democracy. The Companies Leadership knows how to make facebook and instagram saver a wont make the necessary changes because they have put their astronomical prophets afore people. Congressional action is needed. Well, lets try and untangle the web fronts his hug and is being represented by a co founder of whistleblower aid. John tie, he served in the obama administration, the other co founder of the organization, which helps whistleblowers pay their lawyers. Fees is mark said he was a legal representative for this month. Alexander of inman, a white house staffer who testified in Donald Trumps 1st the impeachment trial, max bloom until editor in chief of the grey zone, highlighted other alleged lynx sunset. His political affiliation is no surprise in this case. Her testimony dovetails very closely with the democrat censorship agenda. Their plan or their desire to heavily sensor social media. Frances, how gin was pushing that agenda. If its true that bryson gillette, the Strategic Communications firm that is reportedly advising francis how going and which was founded by former obama aid bill burton does it enjoy this relationship with her . Then we also have to consider her relationship, a possible relationship with abide and white house whos press secretary, jenn, saki, i actually used to be employed as a Senior Advisor by bryson juliette. Whats clear here is that democratic operatives were not. If these reports are true, are providing p r advice and promotion to francis how going a previously unknown figure who has instantly verified by twitter the day of her carefully coordinated and crafted testimony. So shes not as a, an actual whistleblower. She is a political operative advancing, a cohesive agenda. It just to add to that it has emerged that Francis Hogan is also a regular donor to democrat affiliated organizations, which help Party Candidates at gets elected legal media. Analysts. Lionel on mux blumenthal again, gave us their take on the facebook allegations and also the dangers of censorship. She just wants more government intervention. So i think the impact were going to see Going Forward is more censorship, more intervention from the intelligence services, and the reorientation of these social media sites to target official u. S. Enemies per her recommendation. I think of, you know, it can, it can benefit multiple causes, you could see it benefiting the religious. Right. That doesnt like the kind of semi pornographic content on instagram and the way it degrades women and feminist could get behind it. But behind it all is a much more insidious agenda that how going outlines she has explicitly called for bass, beefing up facebook counter Espionage Team to take on official enemies. She named me and mar ethiopia, which is a new target of u. S. Empire as well as iran and china. She did not refer to facebook working with any u. S. Allies to carry out malicious activities. This is an extension of the narrative weve been hearing since the russia gate saga began. The real issue, the gravamen, the, the 64000. 00 question is one of our people and coating a former president of the United States who are excluded. An expert gated bowdlerized from any kind of public conversation because of who he is. Thats the issue. Let me ask you, send me one of the, were on your phone on your mo bile and you said something politically piquant and all of a sudden your phone went dead because your carrier says car. We dont like that. Thats a hate speech. And you say your, the phone company, you dont, you dont monitor what i say. Well, thats what we have to look at these companies as utilities, they will shut you down merely because your o pining and expressing in a an opinion thats what they never talked about. Thats the reason, thats what i wanted to hear, that was never addressed in this big whistle blowing, expose a blah blah, blah, blah blah, as gretta would say. Ok, lets return to our breaking news from afghanistan. And just to recap our story today, dozens of people have reportedly been killed in an explosion of a she and mosque in the countries Northern City of condos. The taliban claims and isis k suicide bomber was behind the intact, on the incident falls a deadly explosion on sunday, at another mosque in the countries capital. Lets welcome back on to the program, abdel Barry Antoine up dells are writer and commentator at what a long term emphasis on the region, the taliban se eyes as k is behind the attack. It also attack the euro ports when so many people were killed in kabul back in august. How significant is this rival returning into for the country and on the wider region of dell . It is expected to be honest. Yeah, we know that the, with that great when of taliban against the american will be repaid because the way the american where actually you mediated by this defeat was, was a tremendous was great. So i believe the american will not swallow this kind of defeat or this kind of humiliation. We expected that it been job for supporting american, supporting certain groups like that as some say in order to, you know, create another key and a strife between the sooner and cheer and of got a sam, this is, this is the name of the game. And the coming good few weeks or few months. So im to state was a target of caliber and they were actually the position were attacked by telephone police. So im familiar with the taliban group. So i think this is the answer that taliban government, the new clearly that you know, im a state is the major group who are going to destabilize afghanistan and tell about roles and afghanistan. The dust has settled a little now on the usa that we can look back perhaps and give our thoughts on that. How did washingtons exit now . How has it been impacting the current security situation in the country . You know, because the taliban was there all the time. Its them exceed recently came to afghanistan. So if we look at us that we had why this kind of attacks and that attacking only the she out most and in particular in can dues and committed this bus goes against the prayer. Definitely there is a foreign fingers behind these kind of back. So i think it is a new for afghanistan appellate bond was there for more than 20 years. So we havent had about the aesthetic state there. So now after the american defeat in afghanistan, we start to hear about the esna mac state, and they have bases there and they have a suicide. Those them, they are packing most. I think this is, this is a conspiracy will plan by certain foreign groups. Im not the secluded United States who have been with an interest in creating havoc and anarchy in afghanistan about the taliban by moving toward the chinese camp that russian camp that you know could create in good relation with the hon. I think they put themselves and there are of the american radar and their target. And i wouldnt be surprised that it says, do it. Doing this in behalf of United States. The attack mosque is a sheer one. How important detail is that . Is that community at a particular risk right now . Oh yes, definitely. You know, as some states were targeting chia and iraq, they were targeting shia in syria. They were targeting g r everywhere in the middle east. So i wouldnt be surprised that this, this is the, as i said, you know, this is actually the work or that mc state because theyre considered an atheist. The another good believer over slam. So this is, this is the execute. But i mean, the major aim is to these fabulous up can stand to actually these to believe that taliban rule and of various sam. So this is, this is the beginning and i wouldnt be surprised actually more of the big lee. Thats like this will take place and a few weeks a month ahead. So if america has no interest in stability of afghanistan, they actually, they wanted taliban to be one of the tools. And ive got a sense up by taliban tending a delegation to china to be keen and confirm to china that you know, that im going to send will never be used as a spring bold to attack a china. This was actually the figure here. This was a very frustrating United States, which last about 2000000002. 00 trillion dollars in afghanistan, lost more than 3500. 00 soldiers in afghanistan. So now they felt that they were defeated and they want to take revenge. But that wouldnt be actually a direct confrontation bought by the american and the thought of on it will be by other tools. And i believe its the could be that you know, that the best, the tool and to carry out this kind of anarchy, this kind of attacks. Ok, we do, of course have to say that some of the views expressed and do not necessarily a chunk of what our tea leaves abdel party at one writer uncommon here live on our to international. Thank you. Thank you. Calls are growing in the u. S. To slop new sanctions on russia over the nord stream to pipeline. In light of europes Energy Crisis. It comes just days after limit putins pledge to ramp up natural gas applies to europe. As prices had rec, ward highs r t stolen quarter took me through the details. Theyre basically being accused of trying to artificially keep the price of natural gas as high as possible. But that actually announcement by the russian president Vladimir Putin to boost to europes natural gas supplies, caused a price decrease of 20 percent right after that, amid this Energy Crisis. And just 2 days after that, we heard from us into the north stream to pipeline. And why he says that russias somehow weapon ising, it president biden, and chancellor merkel committed to taking action. Should russia attempt to use energy as a weapon . Yet both of tend to blind eye to the putin regimes, deliberate efforts to pressure europe into accelerating the russian node stream to pipelines, certification process by manipulating europes gas markets, and leveraging a severe Energy Crisis on the continent. Im a call says angle of merkel is turning a blind eye to some apparent malign, influenced by russia, but angle of merkel herself has said that russia fulfills all of its obligations in these contracts that are voluntarily made between russia and the European Union. The fog, it is a gift. This, if you ask me whether there have been orders that russia has taken and then fail to fulfill as it stands. Now, that is not the case. That is, there are no orders that russia has said no will not deliver those to you and were not pumping gas through the ukrainian pipeline. Rather, russia can only fulfill orders that have been contract it out. So the question is really, isnt being ordered. The International Gas union also praised russia as the power that can bring Energy Security to europe, and that the north stream to pipeline would actually play a crucial role in that. So it doesnt exactly seem like the reasoning behind mccall statements to resume sanctions against russia has a late to stand on. And yet the allegations from the u. S. Keep coming. How is moscow responded . We heard from russias foreign minister survey leverage. He said, basically the u. S is trying to pit russias European Partners against moscow. Lets take a listen. What he said to your list of 30 of them will go to school. Us openly say that cooperation with russia is contrary to europes Energy Security interests that want to directly embroil is in this area and reduce our independence. Now its also important to note that russian president Vladimir Putin even urged to russia state gas company, gas prom, to continue pumping fuel through ukraine even once north stream 2 is fully operational. And that move would show europe that russia wants to act in good faith that theyre ready to fulfill their contractual obligations. Even though if they made this move entirely to pumping gas to the north stream to pipeline, this would save the company billions of dollars. Senior market analyst the up a Foreign Exchange from one day kreger. Lemme doesnt believe any new sanctions against the new extreme to pipeline would have much impact the pipeline has been completed and its, its to the situation now is about approval on the a you is in a difficult situation when the pressure is going to be maybe not immediately, but the pressure is going to be substantially get this over the line if with 2 months from now on, were in the midst of a cold winter, then pressure is going to ramp up. And i dont think sanctions is going to ultimately get in the way that the end of the day your pin is always going to choose to keep the lights on over. 2 2 over move in search of an ideal for the storage levels are much lower than they typically are this time of year and they dont have the capacity to make up last grounds. We know weve obviously had a cold winter last year, which is why these levels are low. We know that if we have another cold winter this year, that these levels are going to be far lower once more. And were also at a point when demand is higher because of the reopening that we have seen around the world. So i think europe has a massive problem and they are in a position now where they are heavily reliant on any extra supplies that can come from russia. European lawmakers are pushing for a bound on facial Recognition Systems used by police. The parliament has passed a non binding resolution against biometric surveillance, which some emy piece compared to cold war snippy. Thats an important step in fighting against mass surveillance. The central and eastern europeans used to live under the eye of the big brother. And we dont want to come back the resolution calls for a ban on funding or deploying programs that could result in indiscriminate mass surveillance. The document also emphasizes the importance of human supervision in any final Decision Making and urge as authorities to be more transparent by using open source software. What it is, the not the 1st move. Again, success of surveillance thats taken to the us give you a sense san francisco. They became the 1st city in the country to enact a complete bonham. Police add biometric surveillance, minneapolis, portland, boston followed that lead. Other cities are a thinking of a to we know we also discuss the pros, the cons of facial recognition with terrorism on security expert debit low. Lets hear 1st though from former u. S. Police officer, dominic is o, theres a great saying and Law Enforcement that when youre a hammer, everything looks like a nail. And all this does, it may have the great grand scheme idea of what youre going after. Some very serious offences like child sex trafficking are missing persons or terrorist activity. But i dont care who says what it will always be used down to your lowest common denominator, which is your citizen and it will be abused like crazy. Youre then actively putting a tool in the police, his hands to look for crimes proactively in the wrong way. I think this is just, this is a door thats going to be open for some very abuse of authority. I dont think its a good idea. And if you could put police in this mindset of that, everybody is a criminal. Good news. We are in criminals and terrorists, a terrorist threat both in europe. I know north america since well have enough county. So if you did look, i mean im talking about dealing with serious organized crime, tomorrow, trafficking him lots of deals about c, trafficking, those truck defense in terrorism. And i think the point that was made, but you know, its, its only allowing, like counterterrorism agencies, policing agencies in the u. K will be national crime. So, you know, a, we agency those things you wouldnt give it to have a police force. It was like when we were in the European Union, shang and information system, which was a database that wasnt available. So every police force in the u. K. It was only to certain offices and the pounds i just happens and all of them in the United States were, were abuse. We just abuse. So if it was, if it was utilized and executed for what it was written up more than a 100 percent, if an oversight was proper on that i think would be a great tool. I think that, but we just, we always take something thats, thats meant to be some way. And we just, we water it down and we abuse that its about giving who has access as a day to store and also destroying dates of the installments on it, making sure those safeguards in place. And thats why i said, you need judicial scrutiny. Whats to make it to say that it doesnt go all the way down to again, the lowest common denominator, which is the citizen and detective, or a st. Cops shriek op as a bad day. And he wants to go through all the backlog of your activity for last 6 months and charge you for a crime that you committed. 34 months ago. The Nobel Peace Prize winners helping aligns for 2021. And the names of surprised many find out whos been awarded shortly. Ah, ah, ah ah ah. Join me every thursday on the alex salmon show, but ill be speaking to guess when the world of politics spoke. Business im show business. Ill see you then. Mm. Ah. Ah, youre back with rti, the Nobel Committee has announced the winners of this year is peace prize. Its going to 2 journalists, are filipino and a russian for promoting freedom of expression ortiz. Dimitri polk has more well, in the run up to this kind of for this nomination, everybody was excited and curious to see who would be this, who would win this years Nobel Peace Prize because in the past, its always been a controversial matter with a lot of very controversial nominations throughout the years. Over this years, decision also turned out to be well, quite unexpected than our region. Noble committee decided to split the award among 2 journalists for their contributions to safeguarding freedom of expression. The 1st journalist is maria reza, of the philippines. She is the co founder of raptor or Digital Media company for Investigative Journalism in the philippines. According to the Nobel Committee, her work focused critical attention on to charities regime and controversial murderers anti drug campaign, among other things. Now, the 2nd journalist, to who to win the Nobel Peace Prize as the russian journalist dmitri murat of he is actually the 1st russian citizen to ever receive the peace, the peace prize. Because before that, only 2 people from the ussr had ever received it. A scientists and human rights advocate and they soccer of and the former president of us. Sorry, michael gorbachev. Now the thing were out of is one of the founders and the current editor in chief of the independent newspaper, nova gazette, literally the new gazette and says its start up in 1993. It is published critical articles on subjects ranging from corruption to Police Violence to war. And since the newspapers start, 6 of its journalists have actually been killed, including an appellate cosco, who was killed almost 15 years ago to the day who she wrote revealing articles on the war in chechnya. Now while 6 men were jailed for her murder, it is still unclear who exactly ordered that killing. However, the decision to give murat of the prize is kind of said to be controversial within russian liberal opposition circles, especially because many of them hoped that the jail to look sane of volley would received it. However, the kremlin has congratulated murat of on his achievements and mark that he is a talented man who has held on his ideals for several decades all at this point. However, more out of himself has and that he does not see a liked the prize as his accomplishment. He feels as the accomplishment of his staff and especially the people who lost their lives, working for m a. He has said that the money that comes with the price will be given to our Childrens Charity foundation. Poland on a collision course with brussels. Its after war sauce, top court rule that some European Union laws clash with the countrys constitution. And the timing is making the issue even more acute now is poland currently seeking billions of euro and e recovery funds. Peter, all of our picks up the story. There are shots fired in that confrontation between warsaw and brussels. And the constitutional tribunal. Poland talk court is basically said that the polish constitution has precedence over you law in the country. The primacy of constitutional law over other sources of law, results directly from the constitution of the republic of poland. This has been clearly confirmed by the constitutional tribunal. Its very important to point out the polish Prime Minister material more eventually says this isnt a sign that poland is about to try and leave the European Union. In fact, he says his country has no intention of doing just that, but we are hearing again things that sound like breaks at room breaks at a cost to do. It hasnt gone anywhere yet. Well, now were hearing about polk. It doesnt exactly roll off the tongue, but it is what it is. In fact, here in germany, the press is full. This morning of talk about this being a legal polk said that poland has essentially, by making this ruling the try to pull itself out of the legal frameworks of the European Union and france deeply unhappy as well. Weve heard a condemnation from paris of the European Commission has said that they have serious concerns about this ruling from the courts, while other e. U officials are clearly far from happy at this move, the verdict in poland cannot remain without consequences. The primacy of you law must be undisputed violating it means challenging. One of the founding principles of our union, you states must not stand by idly. When the rule of law continues to be dismantled by the polish government. Neither can the European Commission or money cant finance governments which mock and the gates are jointly agreed rules or this. It could be a go a different way though, could be because these rulings from the courts only become law when theyre published by the polish government. Now, what could happen is the could take this ruling from the constitutional tribunal and go, well put that in a drawer for now, and maybe well look at it a little later because what you have at the moment is a situation whereby poland isnt getting tens of billions from the European Union in covered recovery money, poland can look at the member states. Weve already received their cash. Youre already spending their cash. And wondering well what, how we going to make sure we get out . So we may well see this ruling from the court used as some type of bargaining chip to try and find a rapprochement between warsaw and brussels. But it certainly doesnt look good at the moment. And some of the concern thats been shown from the european side, certainly justified, as poland says, essentially the rules and its country supercede. Those of the European Union will. Thats how the end of the working weeks new stories are shipping up. For now, ill keep the updates coming up at the top of the hour, but stay close now for more great programs beginning in mere moments with these of the 4 people who pulled the trigger as her 5 something on survival. One of the hardest things that i had to face was not having a face adult expectation or like i accepted their accept. The fact that i made that work, we had no fears. Dow changed pretty fast for shots. Different stories behind the bullets. Ah, ah. Hello and welcome to cross stock. Were all things are considered . Im peter lavelle. The bible ministrations decision to leave afghanistan was correct and long overdue. However, the way americans longest war ended is a different question. It was a botched affair. The generals will most likely never be held to account, put alone marie
