3:19 am
but we chose to store, it turns out that the nato defense line continues to move eastwards. now it is come close to ukraine. they also want to drag this country in tomato, although it is clear to everyone that ukraine is not ready and will not make any contribution to strength make, make her security. ukraine's ambassador to washington says her country's preparing to defend itself. when no don't plan to risk, we actually see the situation the same way and we see the build up. and we also know what russia is capable of because they have attacked us already since 2014, for a 2 years we are at war and were defending our country at the same time in order to defend our country. we can not afford to panic, we have to get ready. all of us, not only our military, our very capable, military and veterans, but also all civilians. belgians have march through the capital, brussels to protest against corona virus restrictions. they say vaccines must
3:20 am
remain optional. the government eat some rules earlier this month. the people wanting to access public spices must have basis schultz. after 5 months, spell to fi is announced measures to combat cove at 19 disinformation, following a route between musicians on the platforms, top rated hold cost a joe rogan, the streaming service says it will add an advisory to any podcast. that mentions cove it and direct listeners to resources from trusted health and science professionals. it comes off to rockstar neil young off the platform to remove his music, accusing the pod costa of spreading miss information. as get more on the story, we can bring in dragon a coroner. she's a research fellow at harvard law school working on platform and policy. she choices from new york. thank you for your time to give us a better sense of what this row is about. tell us a bit more about who joe rogan is and why he is so controversial. right,
3:21 am
thank you for having me a job and is controversial for many reasons. but possibly in that, in this case it's because he's getting very dangerous information that is on misinformation or uncovered. 19 vaccines is mostly hurting minorities directly and who don't have the same access to information and education around information as others. right. and in this case, what's happening is that there's a communications decency act that was fate past 986 that protects platforms like spotify, facebook, google, from being liable about what their current, what their users, the content that their users post. so in this case, it protects them really from anything that they post except for certain things like federal criminal law or things that are related to copyright am. so they don't have to do anything really. if you think about it,
3:22 am
every time we see these companies testified heard of congress, it's, it's really a, a circus where they're promising to show protections, but they're not liable, which is why we need civil society. we need a employees at these companies. and lastly, we really do need for individuals who post content like neil young and joni mitchell to make a case a protests against spotify to, for them to take any action. so clearly, spotify has succumbed a little bit to the prussia and has announced these new measures. tell us a bit more about these measures and where will they satisfy the critics? yeah, so different platforms have different policies. if you ask me, they are all very similar. they're community guidelines that are very vague. for me, for example, as a user, they're not accountable to me to, to explain to me why they're removing content. exactly and, and there, there is
3:23 am
a double standard way for someone like trump. they're allowed to say all kinds of things that are dangerous, that incite violence until a company like facebook arbitrarily takes them down and make the case. well, you know, it's, it's a, it's a national interest. and then all the other companies took them down, but not after 4 years of the kind of things that he had done. right? so it's, it's arbitrary and it's very soft policy. and it takes a lot of effort and behalf of civil society to get any action done. similarly, a instagram posts a very similar kind of a notification underneath. right? that says, anything that's related to coven 19, but twitter, in the other hand, actually will fly material that is misleading or misinformation. and i suppose the bigger picture here is that even if they fired rogan, he could potentially have even greater distribution on line somewhere else. oh
3:24 am
yes, however, it can us look at it this way. it spotify, last $4000000000.00 an our market value on, at the end of the day, and friday, it closed 12 percent less than the friday before. so spotify has a lot to lose, you know, by keeping him on there. joe rogan, in her hand, would have to put a lot of work into keeping his, an existing sand base. right. he could go on to patriarch or on to right wing websites. but if he wouldn't have the reach to moderate am a fan base that it might be not, might not be looking for someone like joe or and to begin with. okay, thank you for your time to gonna corin a research fellow at harvard law school. thank you. many of the world's best long distance runners come from the highlands of western kenya . the pandemic has led to the cancellation of the races. they used to compete in an,
3:25 am

3:26 am
that's been bad news. the athlete here in a 10 is where many of the worlds fastest long distance runners come from is 2400 meters above sea level perched on a plateau high above the great rift valley. before the pandemic, athletes came from all over the world to train here, alongside that canyon counterparts. these men are among attends professional athletes. there are at least a 1000 of them, and almost all of them have lost some, all of their income over the last couple years because of the pandemic, because there are hardly any other jobs here. several thousands of people in turn depend on the athlete livelihoods, and the economy of the whole town has been hit hard then his chair yard was supporting his extended family with prize money, $1.00 in 10, and 15 kilometer races around the world. now he's working of the security guard

3:28 am
i don't want to flash back because it demoralized me a lot. i really, i feel to that lady, but as by somebody might, you know, this is my life. i have to go. i know you're just bright. these know at the end of the nixon keeps training every day as do most of the athletes here waiting and hoping they'll soon get their livelihoods back. malcolm web al jazeera, it's in kenya. hundreds of people have taken pilots in an event. in northern ireland, small, 50 years since bloody sunday. 14 people are killed when british soldiers, i've been fight on a civil rights protest in 1972. 19 papa has the story walking in the footsteps of the victims half a century on people of all ages walked through dairy as others had done on they stay. 1972. i can carry the thing together to remember. the 13 people shot dead by british troops and the 14th victim who died
3:29 am
legs her ah, the march through dairy was for civil rights demanding an end to discrimination against the majority catholic community in northern islands. and to the recently introduced policy of internment without trial. mm. it ended in an atrocity when members of the british armies parachute regiment fired more than a 100 live rounds at unarmed civilians. half of those killed what's seen ages. most of the british army leaders at the time in the 1970s had experienced in kenya in cyprus, in the middle east, in aden, and now yemen. so, so their, their attitude towards the people they confronted on bloody sunday was very much informed by those kinds of emergencies. ah, an initial government report largely exonerated the paratroopers and british authorities. but in 2010, the extensive several inquiry found that the victims were unarmed and posed no
3:30 am
threat. and the soldiers commander had violated his orders. prime minister david cameron, apologized for the unjustified and unjustifiable killings. bloody sunday led to a surgeon recruits to the provisional irish republican army or i r a which led the alms campaign. trying to force british troops and police out of northern islands society. we read the terrible what happened because the conflict which was only and just station sort of periods even up to up to the ultimate you. 71, became worse exacerbated. and i would say that hundreds of thousands of people lost their life because of the sunday. you know, more than 3 and a half 1000 people were killed in the troubles, the 3 decades of violence involving republican power, amenities, loyalist or british power ministries and the british army tirelessly across the decades you have toiled to clear your.
