12:01 pm
report for 10 months and failed to plug the gap in our little nothing of security for a year in the heart of the hideout to say to the markets didn't they have what fools they claims russia remains a top security priority we got reaction on the streets of la to. take the packet today so why should they need to see it and it's got nothing to do with them but they were trying to play russia with the just buy. a new door is proposed in the netherlands that could give people the right team euthenasia even if they are not suffering from any medical condition we debate the issue. and the u.s. accuses china of sponsoring tacos to spy on american companies watching on a fox enough to cope with 90.
12:02 pm
just on 7 pm here in the russian capital welcome to the program and of take a look at some of the stories in the headlines today. while our top story bars johnson has come under fire in the british parliament over the newly released report into a legit russian meddling in u.k. politics while the report itself didn't look for proof of any direct russian involvement in the british democratic process westminster was accused of failing to conduct a thorough inquiry or to take the threat seriously a day after it was published the report into alleged russian interference in british politics is certainly stirred up debate and particularly so at prime minister's questions between boris johnson and opposition labor leader sickest omma the people of these 2 these countries didn't vote to leave the e.u. because of pressure from russia and russia. they voted because they wanted to take
12:03 pm
back control of our money of our trade policy about who is to speak and i see the promise is already in his pre-prepared lines this is a serious. serious question of national security the prime minister's son told this report for 10 months and failed to plug it out of the national security for a year and a half were during that heated exchange as we heard the sickest film of the labor leader accuse the prime minister of compromising the u.k.'s national security by sitting on the report for 10 months and also not investigating the alleged russian threat while in response to accuse the labor party of trying to undermine it breaks it he said it was due to remain as trying to claim that russian influence had led to the u.k. voting to leave the e.u. well this all comes as the u.k. government has also said that they don't see a need for reinvestigating to re-examine the bricks and ballots they've released a statement saying a retrospective assessment of the e.u. referendum is not nice. sorry following the publication of the russian report well
12:04 pm
in that 50 page russia report the intelligence and security committee said that the year kate was clearly a target for this information campaigns around the general elections it also says that in forcing a new espionage act that's one of its recommendations would certainly prevent or at least inhibit individuals concealing their connections to a foreign state they also recommend a foreign register register a foreign agent such as they have in the u.s. where you would have to register your interest with the justice department and also working closely with the online companies so that they could clamp down on any hostile state activity on their platforms when our response the u.k. government claims that it has long recognized the threat by russia and sees moscow as a security priority they also say they have a 30 a strategy for dealing with the kremlin who is protecting british public from interference in our democratic process well in a nutshell we found no one is bukit government took its eye off the ball because of
12:05 pm
its focus on counterterrorism we found the defense of the u.k. democratic process is a hot potato the government had badly underestimated the response required to the russian threat and is still playing catch up the outrage isn't that there was interference the outrage is that no warning as want to know if there was in the meantime though the report on russia has a little actual evidence provides little evidence for its claims and recommendations what it has done though is reinvigorate debate here in the u.k. but it seems there's plenty of skepticism still about whether or not russia interferes in british politics the publication of russia report was delayed by the government for a year and a heart before it was finally released on tuesday daniel whole can see next stop looks at what exactly it said. to get a very brief summary of the long awaited russia report we can go straight to page 13 of the document the written evidence provided to us appear to suggest that
12:06 pm
h m g had not seen or saw evidence of successful interference in u.k. democratic processes seems to be enough so if you're short on time or don't want to read heavily redacted intelligence and political spiel stop watching now otherwise let's go on open source studies have pointed to the preponderance of pro breaks it all and he used tories on r.t. in sputnik and the use of bots and trolls as evidence of russian attempts to influence the process we've sought to establish whether there is secret intelligence which supported or builds on these studies in response and my 5 initially provided just 6 lines of text reports authors were seemingly surprised by the limited response of the intelligence services but not because those agencies may have more important priorities such as protecting lives by tackling international domestic terrorism or serious crime apparently more resources are needed to keep track of social media and artie's editorial policies and coverage
12:07 pm
breaks it polarized millions with several broadcasters coming under fire but it's still russia that poses the risk and the security services that are doing their job this is about the protection of the u.k.'s democratic process and mechanism from hostile state interference which should fall to our intelligence and security agencies after all moscow has been waging influence campaigns targeting u.k. politics through digital media wealthy individuals organizations and almost any other means the report warns the threat of russian influence is a hot potato with intelligence and other agencies shirking the responsibility of taking the lead in tackling it and reassuring the public amid widespread allegations that again the impact of such influence remains elusive. impact of any such attempts would be difficult if not impossible to assess and we've not
12:08 pm
sought to do so state agencies haven't looked closely enough for open source information according to the report they lacked a retrospective assessment and intelligence agencies in particular need a more important role in future the committee was struck by the relatively small proportion of work that is carried out by the agencies in relation to russia in any case should they consider other threats to be a higher priority they can always fall back on trusted russian experts to lead the way christopher steele author of the infamous anonymous golden shower dossier and contributors that the institute for state craft and integrity initiative a project founded to tackle the russian threat receiving state funding to advise the states that russia is a threat and moscow's response was swift and predictable as was the final conclusion of the long awaited russia report showing yet again that any reproach went with the u.k. however small is still beyond the horizon. we've got reaction on the streets of
12:09 pm
london to the claims made in that russia reports were no shot on. the poses schwarzenegger more destruction but what's really going. on the photo a shot of russia was. just a little i just think we ok day so why should they interview. this coming up to do with them wait weeks to know if they were detained in this no way to make a list beginning. you know other countries brewing here with the politics of other people will try to influence government interest craig morrey is a former british ambassador to back start on human rights advocate now he believes the u.k. is determined to ruin any relations with russia supporters in an extremely unconvincing in itself and that it doesn't even purport to give any evidence of what it claims
12:10 pm
to be happening i think it's you know it's fairly laughable there's nothing concrete in it the u.k. is determined to ruin your u.k. russian relations you must remember there are people in the armaments industry and the security industry who make a lot of money out of having blusher as an enemy of the security industry in the armament industry need an enemy in order to get the rest of us mugs to pay them billions and billions in our taxes every year but they suck out of the system and that's what this is about this is about portraying an enemy and 1st there's no division at all for enmity between the u.k. and and certainly no imagery between the u.k. people and the russian people. on a new law has been proposed in the netherlands opening up assisted suicide to people even if they are not suffering from any medical conditions the netherlands
12:11 pm
is one of the few countries that has an equalizer euthanasia of course but the m.p. behind the bill claims the current laws don't go far enough. right now people jump into a can know or put a plastic bag on their head they sometimes have to choose the most terrible ways to die that's why i want to give the possibility to die with dignity with members of their family or friends near them i think this law is important even if it's about a few people because we give them the possibility to have a say on their end of life even when they're not terminally ill or suffering medically but still suffering at present dutch laws say a person is only eligible for euthanasia if their suffering is unbearable with no prospect of improvement at least 2 doctors must check the patient's condition before administering a lethal injection there are also strict requirements as to how the procedure itself is carried out and of course who performs it. well the proposed know has of
12:12 pm
course drawn criticism with people arguing all far just to do more to help people in need rather than just the suicide pill while we put the issue up for debate it is part of a policy to get aren't the people of good quality of life of course it is a bit strange to talk about a law which is terminating life as being one tool make better quality of life but that's exactly what the law is for it is for elderly people or themselves so nobody else no family think their life nice at this moment no worth living anymore not because they are ill but just because they are too old for themselves and in reality 98 percent of them as a study has shown if given the proper bedside manner if shown that they are worth something we want to live so as a compassionate society we should be making people feel loved rather than feeling
12:13 pm
like a burden so much that they would want to be put to death and i am confident that in all countries around the world doc clones are helping patients die if they really do want to die but it is done in secret and in the netherlands said east we do it in the open and so we know when the netherlands how many times doctor he's forced in his own id to assist someone to determine it's his life any time there is a debate about assisted suicide of euthanasia the opponent of this is would always point to the netherlands because there it is it is gone from bad to worse i think dutch doctors have gone from euthanizing the terminally ill to the chronically ill people with serious disabilities to the mostly and mentally ill now that it is being elderly euthanasia was a platform of nazi germany as well so we can derive. the reality as you know i think he wants all of us we should use our name and we should want people to look at all these efforts made with covert to keep. the elderly communities say. why
12:14 pm
would we now throw it out of the window and say at 75 your life is no longer worth living if you don't want to live and let's work with the elderly community to make them feel wanted to make their lives better and are older people they must be 75 years or older or like the terminal kill situation patients do not want to live. in that situation and they want to have to try to say all you want brother to be death to live people in this way and i want to die a dignified this and that has nothing to do with spending in more me trying to make your life better that is what every doctor every person supervisor will fight for family will fight for it but if in the eyes of the person who wants to die there is no possibility or no real possibility then they should have the right to die in a dignified way instead of suicide to the european court of human rights has been
12:15 pm
clear that this is not a human right 15 or 20 newborn babies or euthanized in the netherlands every year and one person relation the size by a distance suicide with the us supported by evidence is the 1st of all babies are not euthanized because they have a separate and it is not due to mazie are because they cannot also principle it is not euthanasia and the person that's very definite he's not going to die. without a doctor's orders no no at this d. do you have to children we do not consider them to have euthanasia they will have help in shortening their life. at it looks like euthanasia but it is not euthanasia at this very pertinent to make the diff friends with the adult euthanasia in the netherlands and the babies who are seriously ill. are helped to terminate her life's. is still raging in the us city of portland. the president sent
12:16 pm
in troops to quash on rust unarmed protesters have been beaten on take us a russian t.v. crew at the scene was also assaulted by offices and had their equipment smashed demonstrators meanwhile have been starting fawaz near the federal courthouse. the federal forces were sent to portland by the president to stamp out nearly 2 months of on racism protests but now the rallies have changed focus with people chanting go home the white house claims the city's mayor has lost control of the
12:17 pm
city. while the street and talk to us have proposed renaming some parts of the body claiming that the current does of nations often created by men all sexist and outdated. i think we have a personal choice to decode or not as our language and these historical terms will fade out the young trainee doctors have mostly keen to learn the most relevant language and often show when they hear the origins of some medical terms out of 700 parts of the body only one is named often a woman critics claim using magical tums with dead men's names is irrelevant on missile journalistic some of the best known body parts all the out to pull out and the attendees heal well we got reaction from people in new york it's completely absurd and misplaced anger and misplaced aggression toward something that is completely irrelevant to any type of movement or any type of affirmation of anytime
12:18 pm
anyone sexuality i think that especially in this country but around the world. a lot of people thought that the way it's been it's a way to say that that's absolutely not true i don't i cri of changing the names of . body parts you know because for example it's part of our story how to do you know i mean i don't really care what body parts are called i think it's mine and i think they're way more important than you know. a parent that really does and i don't have to leave it as it is it's fine it's about gender it's about what. about a ring name you know the gender on the wall to people what to say about their body i've never felt anything like that earlier i spoke to john the set host of pseudo intellectual lore and chat where she believes this idea is being pushed by
12:19 pm
a minority. it absolutely does not make sense and like so many efforts we see nowadays to control language i think this is just about frankly activists busy bodies trying to assert their authority over other people it's concerning that we're now seeing this seep into the sciences and i think if we actually want to make science more welcoming for women in general it starts with seeing women not as these very delicate very easily offended creatures that can't even stand to hear the term hysterectomy i know is one of the things that activists were complaining about and i think what's happening here is we have a small group of activists who are proclaiming themselves spokesperson for the entire female gender when they are simply not but we also have the issue of rewriting history here because as i'm sure a lot of people realize some of these body parts named after men specifically were named after the doctors who discovered them or did pioneering work on them so we're not just controlling people's language here we are also really rewriting history
12:20 pm
which i think is very very concerning. but another side to cope with the rush to find a vaccine could meet to the extinction of the species of crop that's the warning from environmentalists of the unique properties of the whole issue crops blood mean it's being used for yaz to test vaccine safety to get pains from animal rights group peta outlined the concerns. crops are fascinating animals originated around. they're regarded as a living also and they are. threats of extinction they are listed as a species now so much needs to be done to prevent the new cinnabar trees the important to consider is actually crabs do not need to be used in the archies because there are synthetic alternative methods that can be
12:21 pm
used instead of using the blood from crops well horseshoe crabs are often referred to as living fossils to to the ancient lineage every year pharmaceutical companies collect around hearth a 1000000 of them to extract about the thought of their blood the crabs are then released into the ocean but it's estimated about 15 percent of them die on a ball to survive on the reduced blood levels now on top of the crops also. are used as fish bait resulting in a shop decline in the population in the past few decades scientists might be reluctant to stop relying on crops extremely effective at demonstrating the safety of vaccines and other medicines its use is approved in the u.s. where testing on humans is not allowed when we talked to the c.e.o. of the washington pain center john dombrowski he reiterated the finding
12:22 pm
a corona virus vaccine. horseshoe crabs somewhat similar to ours and they they being the laboratory the pharmaceutical company would inject the vaccine into the crab and see what happens to the blood in terms of a reaction if there's a reaction and we know it's unsafe to use that the human being if it is safe well perhaps then we go to the next level in terms of safety and efficacy in terms of a fighting such a serious virus such a scope at 90 we look at vaccines we want to make sure their basic safety we've been using apparently for years the blood of the horseshoe crab and i guess our animal rights activists were somewhat upset about this from a physician standpoint certainly we look at testing on other human beings which would certainly be unethical also way that we look at other species that are close to us like mammals rabbits monkeys and things like that but now we've been looking even below that such as cross station like a crab to get that same level of evidence i think we're doing it quite humanely
12:23 pm
right now we need to focus on human beings in terms of getting a vaccine the best we can but but certainly if we can come up with something equally as cheap and effective and why not use it but i don't think we're there just yet and we certainly do not want to injure human beings based on the theoretical value of a horseshoe crab was sticking with the vaccine to hunt full cova designed vaccine is hotting international nations to the u.s. justice department has accused china of using have cause to spy on american companies want to kill it comes a week off to the u.k. canada and the u.s. made some of the claims about russia. china has now taken its place alongside russia iran and north korea and the shameful club of nations that provide a safe haven for cyber criminals in exchange for those criminals being cool to feed
12:24 pm
the chinese communist party's insatiable hunger for american and other known chinese companies and intellectual property including covert 19 research china's cargo walking on its own foxie and has 2nd phase of testing has started and we move a 500 adults to pot and the new job was deemed safe and reportedly in juice is the desired immune response on tuesday u.s. secretary of state might compare it was in the u.k. discussing joint actions to counter the chinese threat he praised london for its tough stance on beijing and to cues the chinese communist party of exploiting the pandemic for its own interests as well as stealing intellectual property. we just would no longer want them to steal intellectual property denying citizens of the united states who worked hard to create something to invent something to get a better trademark in the chinese communist party directed at state owned enterprises to seal that property from americans we hope we can build up
12:25 pm
a coalition that understands this threat will work collectively to convey to the chinese communist party it's not in their best interest to gauge in this kind of behavior the chinese international relations expert victor gao believes washington would be better off cooperating with other countries over vaccine than making accusations of theft. we should actually participate in the global initiative launched by the w.h.o. rather then backing out of the w.h.o. of this particular moment you should cooperate closely with other countries including lindsay china and russia many european countries and japan for example in jointly developing the vaccine they are not doing it with the w.h.o. the are accusing others of stealing such allegations are groundless and are pure fabrications the data states government actually should do a better job in containing the spread of on the virus preventing more and more american people from dying and from getting contaminated china is ahead of the
12:26 pm
united states and most likely many other countries in terms of developing the vaccine which is very very important and the chinese president xi jinping already declared how was the vaccine produced by china is fully complete its china will declare that as an international public good so that people in all countries can have the benefits of the vaccine. well that's all from me for now don't go father because coming away hella knotty it's one of all award winning to enjoy.
12:27 pm
we go to work. straight home. seemed wrong but all roads just don't hold. the old beliefs yet to shape our disdain for the comfy educated and indeed equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. and in 1996 something happened different a company called purdue pharmaceuticals came out with
12:28 pm
a drug called oxycontin and they started a mere and falsely promoted that opioids were rarely addict maybe only one percent of the time could you get addicted to no. that was not true. and it is not true and never was true that was a false statement and the other companies jumped on the bandwagon of making money in the false lies spread in the false marketing spread that they are guilty of while about these tricks they cause the step i believe with every fiber of my being. back in 1906 the 1st promotional at campaign for and it was broadcasted we found it. we doctors were wrong in thinking that opioids can't be used long term they can be
12:29 pm
and they should be we used to think they'd stop working all the patients would become addicts or they'd be sedated and. these 6 cases show how wrong those views were. in this little film the public was assured with certification the content would show no risk of addiction despite its high concentration in opium to make it believable a real doctor and real patients' bill witness. confirmed that this treatment usually reserved for patients in the terminal phase of cancer can be used without any danger for common pain. i can enjoy every day you know you can really enjoy must say i have been on this new pain medication. i have not missed one day of work and this medication is not turning you into a zombie it is turning me into an active person again. whereas addiction is the
12:30 pm
1st of an opioid the figures shown by pretty farmer a purely and so some patients may be afraid of taking opioids because they're perceived as too strong or addictive. but that is far from actual fact less than one percent of patients taking opioids actually become addicted. since 1988 doctors have observed patients developing addiction yet in this internal memo a laboratory keeps telling courage in its representatives to sell the miracle pill using bonuses premiums and all sorts of gadgets in only 5 years oxycontin went from 600000 prescriptions a year to more than 6000000. nowadays 30 pharma is the 1st company used in the lawsuit filed by the state of oklahoma in order to prove its responsibility.
