1:01 pm
do things we wouldn't normally do because we were threatened with being destroyed on a bill to work and we have become a way that we are just a pile of misery. the protester attacks police in new york during a march against gun crime several officers are injured including a police chief there earlier knelt in sole authority block lives matter. a warm welcome to our to international my name's you know me 30 minutes of news and views start. the british foreign secretary has accused russia of meddling in the country's general election last year by leaking classified documents earlier. joins me here in the studio to discuss developments. well 2020 has been a fairly unprecedented yes so far but apparently there's now one constant to not is
1:02 pm
russian interference in a lot it's a parliament the u.k. foreign secretary dominic robb a power 8 concluded that the 2019 general election wasn't purely the democratic will of the people in action the government has concluded that it is almost certain that russian actors start to interfere in the 21000 general election through the online amplification of illicitly acquired in league government documents whilst there is no evidence of a broad spectrum russian complain against a general election and any attempt to interfere in our democratic processes is completely unacceptable this is of course the general election that boris johnson historically stormed to power largely as a result of his uncompromising probiotics it stance as we heard that raul is suggesting that this alleged interference was done through the online promotion of a leaked documents regarding a potential u.s. u.k. trade deal. now some might remember that this document was
1:03 pm
a secret it was leaked it was posted online and it really cool outrage in the public especially after that may have a need to jeremy cool but who was of course humiliating need to feed to the polls came out waving the paper and saying look this is a classic example of how the government cannot be trusted one of the things here is that trying to sell off the national health service you can see that is going to give it over privatizing the americans the implication that seems to be that is that if these unnamed and mysterious russian actors and haven't somehow been posting constantly about these documents online then this they wouldn't have in any way piqued the public's interest but i think many people would find not an unconvincing argument given how we know that the brits are so proud of the n.h.s. you know and this is really been something that's come to the fore during the pandemic with everyone in the weekly clap. karras now this little columns in the run up to the publication of a government report on russian interference in u.k.
1:04 pm
politics as a whole we don't know exactly what's going to be in that 50 page document but likely that's going to be concentrating on the 2016 referendum now this has been in the works to 8 months but we're expecting it any day now and it's highly anticipated so it's potentially a case that robs wads of sort of an appetizer for the main course that's yet to come and have to wait and see just on the words the claims being made today are not exactly definitive the way that being said a lot of questions as well it appears absolutely there are a lot of question marks that's a bit of deja vu to start with rob. is quite reminiscent of to reason may's highlight to me when she was talking about the script of poisoning which still 3 years on it's still but it's still remains a bit of a mystery it is highly likely that russia was responsible we do hope russia coped culpable culpable for the attempted murder.
1:05 pm
and this is in fact something that has been picked up by the russian side let's listen to what they reacted it. looks like another use of highly likely tactics but it seems has given up on this term based on previous years' experience even more so now the british government gives us the new slogan almost certainly. that's a bit of mixed messages since the prime minister himself boris johnson twice in fact in the meeting off tomorrow of his triumph at the polls said he didn't seal that one no suspicions of sinister outside forces there is. absolutely no evidence that i've ever seen of any russian the difference in u.k. democratic process then there's this very russian act as no one can really understand what that means is that the kremlin itself is it russian nationals is it russian companies is that people simply watching out of russia is it people who are
1:06 pm
simply affiliated with russia for example anything absolutely there are so many references to anonymous sources not just of course in the u.k. in the us during the news or investigation as well so there is a sudden drop is choosing his words carefully because perhaps he doesn't have the information all the concrete at least facts that he needs in order to be more specific and more precise this is of course a developing story there's a reaction constant marching so we'll be following and seeing how it all plays out . well let's pick up on some of those points though i'm very happy to welcome to the program george george is senior research fellow at london's lobel policy institute good to see you george not exactly a unique experience this new evidence given but russia gets accused of meddling and even he's only almost certain you know it is a murky world. at the best of times but the ramifications are so are so big to make such statements how convincing is this allegation. what is not convincing at
1:07 pm
all because all of these allegations arrive without any supporting evidence so we're asked to take on faith the assertions of government ministers well we've already had a lot of experience of this of these government assertions that have turned out to be a prole so i mean we can of course bring up the. iraq invasion the justification of the iraq invasion and but we can also talk about the claims that underlay the moller investigations and the whole 4 year saga of. collusion for which no one scrap of evidence was ever presented and muller was unable to bring criminal charges against anybody who supposedly was involved in the looting so there's absolutely no reason why we should just simply take on face value the assertions of government ministers
1:08 pm
a previous guest speaking to me towards cole this claim a preemptive strike ahead of next week's long awaited russian interference report which might have some quite embarrassing revelations who knows for the tories and who they have been taking money from do you think that's a fucked or at play here. i really don't know i suspect that. next week's report will also turn out to be a dud again a lot of. a lot of assertions but in the end it'll probably satisfy itself with pages and pages and pages of descriptions of what was on r t which in r.t. is a kind of or a longstanding obsession of the intelligence services so that's what i'm expecting from this report i don't think they'll be anything terribly substantial one of the elements today is that the key document russia is supposed to have stolen relates to the n.h.s. being of sorts on the table in u.s. u.k.
1:09 pm
trade talks surely such information though is it not it's not public interest should have been made secret in the 1st place something like. that is that right yes it is absolutely right that document was a matter of public interest and the same goes into $94.00 the allegation about the . emails that were allegedly stolen by the g.r.u. and passed on to wiki leaks which again we have no evidence well but there was even those were a matter of public interest i mean you know the public needed to know there was an election coming up and the information there was something the public needed to know if they were to decide whom to vote for in the election so yeah absolutely but moreover it doesn't even make very much sense because the story that we have been told was that the russians are supposedly in favor of bricks it so if they're in favor of breck's it why would they be helping jeremy corbin who was essentially
1:10 pm
running on a remain platform against the brits at the end boris johnson so it made very little sense for the russians to be interfering on that on behalf of jeremy corbett yeah it's a very interesting point too to end on george absolutely thanks very much for your time this hour george zimmerman senior research fellow at london's global policy institute. election interference is not the only accusation being leveled out today russian hackers are being accused of targeting corona virus vaccine research we dig deeper into later in the. 4 years in germany vulnerable young boys being placed in the foster care of paedophiles a damning study by hill this time university also says the authorities either ignored evidence of abuse or were complicit in letting it continue the case to spawn 3 decades from the early 1970 s.
1:11 pm
own words peter over has been speaking with some of the victims who came forward. decades of abuse carried out by those put in a position to protect the most vulnerable in society for 30 years starting in the 1970 s. . placed children in the care of a convicted paedophile named for its age i spoke to 2 of his victims to protect their right to anonymity they'll be named only. and marco. our daily lives were dominated by instructions we were shielded from the outside world like a sect most of the time we faced violence if we wanted to go out or meet someone else we were intimidated and told these people were bad that we should have nothing to do with them if we wanted to go anyway we were forbidden every day it was mental and physical mistreatment and we're only realizing this now we were forced to do things we wouldn't normally do because we were threatened that was our life the
1:12 pm
worse the treatment the more you felt this person was important to you every day with this man was a fight for survival and the fight to preserve yourself what makes this all the more troubling is that the lives of these men as well as busy essentially being. as part of an experiment supply venerated psychologist helmet and even after his death in 2010 was regarded as they found. he was in effect little more than a match maker putting neglected children into the care of predators. we learned about this experiment when doctors called in 2017 my thought was this can't be true i was not a mere product of chance i was deliberately selected by the berlin branch of the s.p.d. party the ruling party at the time that hired a mercenary to destroy our lives in an experiment when we heard about it we felt.
1:13 pm
and what particularly bothers us is that the names of those responsible are missing but there must be a. further investigation in my opinion this is one of the greatest crimes of the post-war era the fact that it was really an experiment is shameful and very humiliating it was tolerated for decades no one ever came along and asked how we were doing how life with our foster father was going nobody ever came over to check . those responsible are still sitting in offices or enjoying their pensions they're trying to hide behind a statute of limitations to torpedo another investigation is shameful that the perpetrator the organization is hiding behind legal quibbles to avoid shedding light on it this criminal organization should not be behind the investigation the care system in germany has changed dramatically since scandalous time when it comes to who can act as a foster parent authors of a study into the kempler experiment of told r.t.
1:14 pm
that there is no way his crimes were carried out without the welfare office being directly involved in germany was to care is the responsibility of the youth welfare offices still children and adolescents who leave and forced to homes always understate observation the things that occur in foster homes we examined could not have happened without the knowledge of officials in the u. welfare authorities there has never been this state investigation into the actions of templar and his experiment in senator's told us they are pushing for a nationwide examination to look at the real scale of the abuse since we have nationwide connections further research going to be limited only to berlin the center for education youth and family has said that she wants to submit an application to the conference of ministers to deal with sexual violence in foster homes the victims of abuse say the knowledge of the girl in government it makes
1:15 pm
them accomplices in the crimes and in moscow a pushing for me to go action today after having. being failed by the authorities then. the senate is 100 percent involved the bird in senate initiated it and then tolerated it it's already been admitted verbal eep but not legally from the very beginning the only thing that mattered to them was how to keep the problem small then criminal charges were put forward we file charges in the senate kept in touch with us since then there's been no contact with the senate it's impossible to build up such an organization on this scale without state help. we expect justice our lives have been destroyed we are unable to work and we have become aware that we are just a pile of misery we were put in this situation by the government deliberately it was not an accident as we thought until now it is a matter of course that the senate will make amends the senate has offered as $10000.00 euros in return for us taking no further action against it the names of
1:16 pm
those responsible and the consequences for these people are still missing as long as it stays like that things are not over this is a particularly harrowing story of exploitation and failure to protect the state who is expressly directed to protect. the us where new york police officers injured in a vicious attack by a protester while they were supervising a march against gun crime they were assaulted when marchers met protestors bridge the officers were making an arrest. running towards the officers and then beating them with a cane the n.y.p.d. says 3 of its officers sustained injuries including a police chief who only last month showed his solidarity with other protestors by taking a knee. you know for a moment of calm there as chief terrance monaghan of the new york city police
1:17 pm
department kneeled in solidarity with protesters. well we've been getting at reaction to all this including from retired philadelphia police captain re a louis who says it feels like open season on officers who are paying for the actions of a few. they're obviously much more concerned nowadays with being attacked due to the actions of other officers because there's such the same called the halo effect and that is now every officer is being assertive. and an enemy of the minority population the fact is these officers were. totally unnecessarily what disappointed me with this is none of the other protesters even pushed this guy away welcome to the ground his weapon you want to win over. empathy for your movement do the right thing
1:18 pm
justice is for everybody the solution to violent protest is to confront the reason you have violent protests confront the economic disparities can confront the job lack of job opportunities confront the lack of education for black people these are the so yes that go into these protests. the british u.s. and canadian cyber security services have accused russian hackers of targeting coburg 19 vaccine developers to steal research they have u.k. officials claim the hookers almost certainly have links with russian intelligence. it is completely unacceptable that the russian intelligence services are targeting those working to combat the coronavirus pandemic while other sports you there are selfish interests with reckless behavior the keen and satellites are getting on with the hard work of finding
1:19 pm
a vaccine and protecting global health the kremlin has denied any links to cyber attacks on research centers and says it has no information about that research institutions across russia are working on their own potential vaccines that moscow's such an offer university announced a potential breakthrough here so we have a last look. we've been living in corbett shadow for months now the world health organization calls it public enemy number one and it's not loosen its grip more than 13000000 people are currently in fact worldwide back saying remains world's best hope to return to reprint that make life and the raise to find a treatment to protect all of us has been accelerating moskos session of university has been conducting russia's 1st human trials about a month ago 38 volunteer is men and women aged between 18 and 60 stepped in to help
1:20 pm
they were given injections before spending weeks in complete isolation under the close supervision of doctors and scientists and today the 1st volunteers have been discharged much of 2 the 1st 3 were in isolation at a health resort for 2 weeks that was the preparation period then we were brought here for 20 days i work in public catering so i'm always around people when this star serves and i realized how many people were feeling sick so i decided to help but there was nothing special just a bax nation it isn't scary it's like a fever reducing injection another group of the volunteer is expected to be discharged on monday but after that all those who participated in the trial will still be monitored by scientists and doctors the doctors here are confident that the 1st phase has been a success. back seen in more of the protein produced after action provoked the disease to do you had a temperature of 30 a degree celsius which chills out a headache but all that was gone on the 3rd day there was
1:21 pm
a little pain i had no side effects no high temperature but i got a headache in the evening i told the doctors and they started to check me every hour in the morning my body temperature rose to 37.5 degrees but that said there were no other problems with phase one now complete next comes the big test hundreds and then thousands of people. given doses to test the drug's effectiveness if everything goes well researchers hope the vaccine could officially be registered by the end of the summer. this is not only about immunity itself but about do you ration after the drug is approved there will be broader tests not 30 volunteers that hundreds of people so that we can assess how long. this will be the next piece of clinical trials we hope for success because we believe it will save many lives and help us to defeat the virus our knowledge of immunity is still evolving and one recent study suggests that antibodies start to fade away after
1:22 pm
a matter wigs and even a person unprotected but russian scientists say it's important to say on top of the facts you do hear sensational news every week somebody says or writes something and it causes a stir these announcements are often contradict each other for the past 6 weeks we've seen conflicting data or the number of treatment drops and we see the same when it comes to the duration of immunity the world health organization says around $21.00 potential vaccines are currently on to go in human trials more than $130.00 are there is are at an even earlier stage they're still being tested on animals this is sort of in most cases section of that it could be the 1st to get that much needed treatment out into the world to keep all that 19 at bay and get all our lives back to normal richard ocean now r.t. from moscow. the european union's top quartile has rejected
1:23 pm
a data sharing agreement or other laws big firms to transfer european users information to the u.s. after a probe a sea complaint was reached over far reaching surveillance in washington doesn't mean an end to transatlantic data sharing though the latest on the front. charlotte didn't. pull this deal between the e.u. and us over the transfer of the ija has been thrown out now by the use of top court it's been a longstanding issue that was originally a case that was brought against facebook and this is because one privacy advocate was unhappy that u.s. law means that companies in the u.s. can hand over data to the n.s.a. to the f.b.i. even it's used by thousands of tech companies based in the u.s. already so match rams he has one its case is the e.u.
1:24 pm
will not change its fundamental rights to please the n.s.a. the only way to overcome this clash is for the us to introduce solid privacy rights for all people this judgement is not because of a limit to data transfers but the consequence of u.s. surveillance laws and today this ruling by the european court of justice has been welcomed by did show rights advocates we have repeatedly highlighted legal and policy developments that called into question the validity of the arrangement including enhanced u.s. surveillance the childers regard for human rights globally most of all it was about a day to agreement called safe harbor following revelations made by whistleblower and former n.s.a. employee edward snowden over the scope of surveillance in the u.s. one austrian citizen bloc schrans now he took this case to court and he won as a result the original agreement called safe harbor was thrown out but then the e.u.
1:25 pm
and us came up with a new agreement replacement of the commission has proposed. is basically say for once again it didn't change anything it's the same again we're talking. basically so is it a win is this the end of the case will sadly not because there are already mechanisms in place. other mechanisms that have been used between the e.u. and us for the transfer of this sort of data so it seems like a win today from other did show rights campaigners but it seems that there is still a long fight ahead. well let's delve further into what this means we appear luigi paganini chief technology officer of cyber defense for sybase welcome to the program so is this ruling a victory for privacy activists or will it make no practical difference do you think. clearly the additional european new top court the 2 really need to the
1:26 pm
privacy issue that free market hasn't been appreciated by at the least the privacy for more productive in the u.s. it's quite different from the u.n. resolution. this movie also going to go through considering the potential implications of this. do you see this in terms of a battle. on the even one pier luigi on the one hand you have an e.u. court the other the u.s. tech giant and also the the n.s.a. surely if they want someone's data they can get it. being your ability there is no way to grant you that you. could not be spied on by the u.s. intelligence agency in the u.s. in other countries or the wired social media shared dardar we diminish our security agency including that are related to user from foreign countries and this is not acceptable abidal you are really showing the e.u.
1:27 pm
court ruling came after austrian privacy campaigner mushrooms filed a complaint against facebook he argued that his privacy was violated when the company transferred his data to the u.s. do you see facebook as a particularly bad offender here. i don't believe that this is not 'd is a question related to preschool guy believing that they were in the impact will be huge for any country is any companies in europe countries privacies a european the contras and the european market these are very important for the u.s. company especially tech giants for these reasons omes i believe that the between you and us would be review with respect to european regulation and we would be not seen paul and i would believe that would be a long issues on sarah items of the agreement yet it's it's an issue that's affecting us more and more is a this for those of us pierluigi who are worried about data privacy in practical terms what can people do to stop their personal info or their their health their
1:28 pm
banking etc to stop their personal info being used without their knowledge to it consider that in european privacy regulation in europe years or longer i am at protecting the privacy of the users and these possible ensuring the trust money to seize on the process is implemented before that the management when i was when i speak about government argument i speak almost every day they're related to in the media arts school also not identification information but also financial information and. the most important aspect of the g.d.p. are privacy regulation is the consensus this means that users ever to be always inform and on the holiday and other processes that by who and we cheese day time are all the redemption these must therefore for in comp i mean that our managing our data yet another story we're following the us is already in a digital riaa with europe which wants to tax tech giants must have profits
1:29 pm
basically keep them in europe before they're shipped back to the u.s. how do you expect washington to react to this latest in the. she says see i believe that 'd these it's very hard to see that in europe you know the market this means that we start a negotiation you know the changes that are not to match the privacy regulations. ok the thoughts appear luigi paganini chief technology officer of cyber defense firm site based thanks for your time. and we are crossing to washington next for the latest watching the hawks episode subsequently staying there for the next few hours as r.t. america takes over the programming through the evening and night here in moscow to close it off.
