3:07 pm
accustomed to them yes humans got accustomed to them they only thought they cause some trouble especially among children wiley's virus is mostly spread in winter and winter our body is going through some restructuring or a decrease in the resistance to infections secondly in winter there's a high concentration of people in houses buildings bars and other places and the high concentration of people is a condition for epidemic spread why is it happening in china there are many people them and there's a high concentration of population then they call it a deadly virus on t.v. it's not deadly it's always been and will always be and we should be ready for that i've got 2 words to say about mosques these ghouls ranks most the top but in china and even in some places in russia they have tight most with a respirator they can protect other people if you're in. so the mask can't help you personally know or only to a minor extent. but why is this does the response through our eyes as well yes
3:08 pm
and also these pools but you can protect them against large droplets the person becomes infected when he or she speaks maybe i have inflicted you who are you trying to inflict me i hope you won't i also want to be honest masks can partially protect from that. multi-million dollar national security agency surveillance program in the us that we managed to provide unique data for just a couple of cases that's according to a newly declassified study by a us government watchdog the n.s.a. surveillance program called prism tapped u.s. domestic phone calls from 20720196 posed to the public by the whistleblower edward snowden it was aimed at preventing terror attacks in the past 4 years the program has cost taxpayers something like $100000000.00 however major doubts have now been raised over perhaps its effectiveness that's because a new report has revealed that in
3:09 pm
a 4 year period the program yielded only one significant investigation moreover only twice in the last 4 years did it manage to generate information that wasn't already known by the f.b.i. or the prison program was authorized through several pieces of legislation including the u.s. patriot act it was 1st signed by president george w. bush in the wake of the 911 attacks and it was revised as the u.s. freedom act following the snowden revelations back in 2013 but it is set to expire next month in the trump ministration is struggling to keep it alive investigative journalist and author joe leiria believes the report does prove there's no need for mass surveillance. it proves what was fernando anyone who could see clearly that this was a fraud from the very beginning this was about power and money the power of the government control the american people and the money the contractors that ran this program have made this based on false fear and that's the last line of defense of
3:10 pm
the united states all the time to try to confuse the interests of a small number of powerful people with the interests of the nation you know the united states has had a long history of this false fear of keeping the american people afraid and trying to say that they have to be protected it's basically a protection racket they scare the people and then they say we will protect you that's what the mafia does hopefully this report will get the wide attention it deserves so that's beginning people begin to question these false narratives of fear and why they need these kinds of 1000000000 dollar programs that make them rich and keep them powerful but does nothing for the american people and in fact it invades their privacy in a complete violation of the constitution this report should hammer that home that this is a bogus program there is no national security at stake there is no reason for the government of spied on american people when only one case came out of all of this and it has to stop. the 2020 democrat hopefuls in the race for the white house have clashed again in another t.v.
3:11 pm
debate the last before super tuesday which is seen as decisive for the party's presidential nomination a front runner bernie sanders faced more attacks from his rivals for mark's native earlier defending the literacy programs and fatal castrates kiba the self-styled socialist words were initially made in a c.b.s. interview and his opponents were quick to pounce. were very opposed to believe or 3rd tour in the tour of cuba but you know when you go it's unfair to simply say everything is but you know when fidel castro came into office you know what he did he had a massive literacy program is not a bad thing after 4 years of looking on and who are as from cozied up to dictators we need. a president who will be extremely clear in standing against regimes that violate human rights abroad we can't risk nominating someone who doesn't recognize this fidel castro left a dark legacy of forced labor camps religious repression widespread poverty firing
3:12 pm
squads and the murder of thousands of his own people but is sure bernie let's talk about his literacy program during the debate sanders was quick to point out saying his views on kiba are actually the saying is barack obama's and i said this president castro in cuba. so look you've made great progress in educating. young people every child in cuba gets a basic education that's a huge improvement from where it was down hawkins discuss the potential impact of scientists remarks on the presidential race with a panel of guests bernie sanders saying this thing at a time when the democratic party's already split its the vibe that it's going through perhaps a bit of a p.r. it means here across this i mean this is a really bad decision isn't it sanders to me shows his integrity here look he's been saying this for years that there's videotapes of him saying these things about cuba and fidel castro in the soviet union i mean how can he backtrack on those
3:13 pm
things honestly you know he's just you know reaffirming ideas that he has had for many years the concern is not him saying good things about the literacy program it's i said it thing that mussolini got the trains to run on time that was not what it is that people associated with what mussolini did it happened to be the case but he was a murderous dictator as was castro spineless democratic stablish mean shows their true colors it's like a litmus test every time you can say one positive word about cuba or a one word in defense of venezuelan sovereignty they want to make sure there's no critique and so imperialist critique of the u.s. foreign policy establishment so this is a very sophisticated form of censorship to try to narrow the perimeter is as we have more and more debates within the democratic party coming out of the getting we
3:14 pm
can all get literacy is a bad thing literacy programs that's probably we could all agree on that but isn't this an era of judgment on bernie sourness paul given there are lots of countries with good literacy programs with social programs and robust human rights records i mean this is surely shooting oneself in the foot before important electoral race. we have a democratic nominee who is tipping his hat to castro the murderer for having a literacy program so it's not just a question of stature ship or narrowing things it's making 100 percent sure we have a nominee who is electable and the concern is one to the public realizes what bernie sanders has said in the past he's an unreconstructed socialist and the united states that generally not a calling card the unofficial religion of the united states is in communism and we just have to listen to richard previous comments but to hear some of the communism but the truth is that the youth of this country in the multinational working class who supported bernie in nevada 46 percent of the votes that he won in nevada
3:15 pm
they're not socialists they understand who the true enemy is the enemy is not venezuela or cuba or china it's the 1000000000 is right here in the pentagon in the white house the former. mayor of new york city michael bloomberg and on wall street i will quote george w. bush who said we judge other countries by the worst of their actions we judge our own country by the best of our intentions and i think that's true you can look at a country like cuba and yes you can learn about literacy programs that work health care programs that work and we should be able to do that in a rational way again especially when you look at the fact that people like president trump and president obama before him and numerous presidents before them partnered with murderous regimes like saudi arabia which now is being funded by the u.s. in its war against yemen which is threatening to kill millions of people and yet
3:16 pm
that is something that isn't being discussed. 80 percent of employees in britain zines and coaches say to say that they do hide their views if they don't fit within the brooms and that includes support for the country's conservative party among other things and you survey has revealed a growing environment of self censorship. our survey shines a damning light on the corrosion bullying intimidation and intolerance that is active among the community that thinks of itself as liberal open minded and equitable in a poll of some 500 respondents many highlighted the risks of holding so-called controversial opinions spanning topics including breaks it religion sexuality and gender fewer than half of those questions said that they felt their views were respected and some even claimed saying that they were offered money to stay quiet about corrupt practices in their field while others pointed to why the problems in their working communities. it wouldn't be advisable to point out that the arts tend
3:17 pm
to do well under the conservatives or arts culture and indeed education sectors are not dominated by a monolithic politically correct class mostly of privileged white middle class people by the way who impose their intolerant views across those sectors. anything to do with gender issues especially trans issues who get a lot of flak either for not being on message enough or being off message or 2 on message meanwhile another traditional bastion of free expression is also under pressure in the u.k. a think tank is born the country's universities of quote lost the trust of the nation over attitudes towards patriotism the report quotes governance and chancellors heathier academic institutions are seen as out of touch it goes on to say the sector should show that it speaks for and reflects the whole of the u.k. and recommends education leaders should avoid being critics he actively despised
