1:01 pm
security for a year and. the highly anticipated are much too late report also claims russia remains a top security priority we get reaction on the streets of london. i just think we can't get too carried away should be to feel. it's got nothing to do with it but they were trying to play for sure with the just buy. a new loris proposed in the netherlands that could give elderly people the right to euthanasia even if they are not suffering from any magical conditions we debate the issue. on the u.s. accuses china of sponsoring hackers to spy on american companies walking on a box in the post at 90. 8 pm here in moscow a very warm welcome from the whole team. h.q.
1:02 pm
plot to have your company at this hour while starting * us off boris johnson has come under fire in the british parliament over the newly released report into alleged russian meddling in u.k. politics now while the report itself didn't look for any proof of any direct russian involvement in the british democratic process westminster was accused of failing to conduct a thorough inquiry ole to take the threat seriously kate partridge. a day after it was published the report into alleged russian interference in british politics a certainly stirred up debate and particularly so at prime minister's questions between boris johnson and opposition labor leader sickest omma the people to take this country didn't vote to leave the e.u. because of pressure from russia the russian they voted because they wanted to take back control of our money of our trade policy of our last speaker i see the promise is already in his pre-prepared lines this is
1:03 pm
a serious. serious question of national security the prime minister sucked on this report for 10 months and failed to plug in our little national security for a year and a half or during the heated exchanges we heard they're seeking asylum of the labor leader accused 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 that 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 brics that ballot they've released a statement saying a retrospective assessment of the e.u. referendum is not necessary following the publication of the russian report well in that 50 page russia report the intelligence and security committee said that the
1:04 pm
you kate was clearly a target for dissent summation 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 plant doubt on any hostile state activity on their platforms when in response the. 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 the british public from interference in our democratic process well in a nutshell we found no one is the u.k. government took its eye off the ball because of its focus on counterterrorism we found the defense of the u.k.
1:05 pm
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 while british commentator historian i'm all for adel darwish believes it should be noted the committee predominantly consisted of threats that remain as. because it was the government that was proved dominantly me and i was the chairman them agree with him in that it would have been used to undermine the referendum result and that was that one ticket but boris actually
1:06 pm
got into the leadership and managed to become the leader of the party but the prime minister and then he confessed of the election before christmas again and it was on that ticket that he's actually get done so punishing very important piece way and then very little ducked a large part of the stats and c.b.s. michael jordan's at him and no. doubt would have exploded it and that extent i don't think it through security i don't think so if you dropped it and it think it was going to politically speaking in seeking to put the government policy on 100 votes while he was hearing for that reason and that is of i want to make clear to the prime minister now the publication of that russian report was delayed by the government for a year and a half before it was finally released on tuesday parties daniel hawkins now looks at what exactly it sat. 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
1:07 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 built on these studies in response and my 5 initially provided just 6 lines of text the report's 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
1:08 pm
and coverage 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 of 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 of 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
1:09 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 be on the horizon with the reaction on the streets of london
1:10 pm
to those claims made in the russian reports. we're a shadow of the moon. because it's just more of a more destruction what's really going on. and the photo is shot of a washer was. just in the mood i just think we can't get to doing so why should they interfere and based on nothing to do with the way we should know if they would take a lead in this no way to make a list of beginning where. you know other cultures brewing beer with the politics of other people will try to influence government interest. 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 is one of the few countries that has legalized euthanasia of course but the m.p. behind the bill claims the current laws don't go far enough right now people jump
1:11 pm
into a canal or put a plastic bag on their head they sometimes have to choose the most terrible ways to die that's why we 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 assume their end of life even when they're not terminally ill or suffering medically but still suffering that president touchless a person is only applicable 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 that also strict requirements as to how the procedure itself is carried out and who performs at the proposed law has drawn criticism with people arguing all for it his should do more to help people in need rather than just hound them a suicide pill we put the issue up for debate. if they spark off
1:12 pm
a policy goal get around the people a good quality of life of course it is a bit strange to talk about. terminating life as being told make better quality of life but that's exactly what the law is for it is for elderly people who are 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 them selves and in reality 90 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 like a burden so much so that they would want to be put to death and i am confident that it all countries around the world doc clones are helping patients die if they
1:13 pm
really do want to die but they don't and secret 10 in the netherlands said east we do it in the open and so we know what the netherlands how many times a 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 a serious disability to the mostly and mentally ill now that could just be elderly you can age it was a platform of nazi germany as well so we can derive it. the reality is you don't think all of us will lose our name and we should want people to look at all these efforts we've made with kobe to keep the elderly communities safe. why would we now throw them out of the window and say at 75 your life is no longer worth living if
1:14 pm
you don't want to live it let's work with the other community to make them feel. wanted to make their lives better there are older people they must be 75 years or older who like to terminal kill situation patients do not want to live only in that situation and they want to have to right to say all you want brother to be death to live if only this way you and i want to die before it is and that has nothing to do with spending in more me trying to make your life better it is what every doctor every person supervisor will fight for so many 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 clear that this is not a human right 15 or 20. or you can i was in the netherlands every year and one person is buying it as does the suicide. supported by.
1:15 pm
the 1st of all babies are not euthanized because they have a separate state gene it is not due to mazie are because they cannot also principle it is not euthanasia and the person that's very definite is no. no no at this the 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 it is fairly pertinent to make the difference friends with the adult euthanasia in the netherlands and the babies who are seriously ill. are helped to terminate a life. anger is still raging in the us city of portland after president trump sent in troops to quash unrest on armed protesters have. asked a russian t.v.
1:16 pm
crew at the scene was also assaulted by officers and had their equipment smashed demonstrators meanwhile have been starting fires near the federal courthouse. thanks. the federal forces were set to portland by the president to stamp out nearly 3 months of and should wait for it but now the rallies have changed focus with people chanting sides go to the white house claims the city's mayor has lost control of the city.
1:17 pm
the trachea doctors have proposed to renaming sucks in parts of the body claiming that the current designations often created by man also sexist and outdated i think we have a personal choice to dick organize our language and these historical terms will feed the young trainee talk to some 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 after a woman critics claim using medical tubs with debt men's names is irrelevant on misfortune istic some of the best known body parts are the art of a pull on the achilles heel while we got reaction to all of this 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 any to anyone sexuality and think that especially in this country
1:18 pm
but around the world. a lot of people hold on to that the way it's been it's a way to say but that's absolutely not true i don't i cri of changing the names of the body parts you know because for example it's part of our story how nifty on it but i mean i don't really care what body parts are called i think it's high and i think there are way more important things to deal with in changing. the thing and that really and i don't have to leave it as it is it's fine it's about gender it's about all of the. you know the gender on the what the people what to say about their body i've never felt and you know that's my. audi i spoke to john the stunt host of pseudo intellectual lauren chad she told me she believes the idea is being pushed by a minority. it absolutely does not make sense and like so many efforts we see
1:19 pm
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 which i think is very very concerning. the rush to find

a covert vaccine could lead to the extinction of a species of crab that's the warning from environmentalists the unique properties of the whole suit crops blood to mean it's being used for years to test facts in safety judea 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 be new cinnabar trees the important to consider is actually. do not need to be used in the trees because there are synthetic alternative methods that can be used instead of using the wrong crops horseshoe crabs are often referred to as living
1:21 pm
fossils due to the ancient lineage every year pharmaceutical companies collect hoth a 1000000 of them to extract about the thought of the blood the crabs all then released back into the ocean but it's estimated about 15 percent of them die unable to survive on those reduced blood levels now of course on top of that crabs are used as fish bait resulting in a shop decline in the population in past decades scientists might be reluctant to stop relying on crab blood though as it's extremely effective as demonstrating the safety of vaccines and other medicines its use is approved in the u.s. where testing on humans is not allowed while we talk to the c.e.o. of the washington pain center john dombrowski he reiterated the urgency of finding a coronavirus vaccine. horseshoe
1:22 pm
crab a 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 fire 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 quite humanely right now we need to focus on human beings in terms of getting
1:23 pm
a vaccine the best we can but up 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 finding meanwhile the hunt for that kind of a thought seen as also hotting international relations the u.s. justice department has accused china of using hack cars to spy on american companies walking on a kill now it comes a week off to the u.k. counted on the u.s. made some a claims about another country 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 the chinese communist party's insatiable hunger for american and other known

chinese companies hard earned intellectual property including 19 research china is currently working on its own vaccine a 2nd phase of testing has started in on over 500 adults took part on the new job was deemed safe reportedly in 2 says that desired immune response on tuesday u.s. secretary of state might compare was in the u.k. discussing joint actions to counter the chinese threat he praised london for its tough stance on beijing not accuse the chinese communist party of exploiting the pandemic for its own interests as well as of stealing intellectual property. we just we 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 their property from americans we hope we can build out a coalition that understands this threat will work collectively to convey to the
1:25 pm
chinese communist party it's not in their best interest to gauge in this kind of behavior. chinese international relations expert victor gao believes washington would be far better off cooperating with other countries over facts and then making accusations of theft. they 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 they should cooperate closely with other countries including let's say china and russia many european countries and japan for example jointly developing the vaccine they're not doing it with the w.h.o. the accusing others of stealing such allegations are groundless and pure fabrication the data states government actually should do a better job in containing the spread of virus preventing more and more american people from dying and from getting contaminated china is ahead of the united states
1:26 pm
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 that was the vaccine produced by china is fully complete it's china will declare that as an international public goods so that people in all countries can have the benefits of the vaccine it's good bye for all of us here in moscow where crossing state 5 twa wonderful america for that take join them at the top yeah.

everyone is contributing to each of our own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenge is critical to response has been masked so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. greetings and salyut. you know it seems that everyone these days rather than just rolling up the sleeves and doing a little the hard work or trying to fix the problems we face would rather just let technology do the dirty work for us it seems to be one of the sad truth of the 21st

century you know rather than sweeping up your own mess average for you tired of parallel parking your car hello auto park too tired to pick up the remote just to have alexa change the channel for you rather than do real detective work just let bay show recognition technology tell you who and who in which suspect to arrest yes that was the case recently in detroit michigan when police arrested 42 year old black man robert julian williams on a felony warrant for larceny after facial recognition technology fingered him was the perpetrator of shoplifting $3800.00 worth of watches from a shy mellow store the computer said you did it so that's a rat case closed looking down on let's go grab you know starbucks and maybe pepper pepper spray a few protesters on our way there but not so fast no no no turns out this crime fighting facial recognition technology has a pretty major fatal flaw the new york times reports that while facial recognition

systems have been dangerously used by police for more than 2 decades recent studies by mit and the national institute of standards and technology or nist have found that while the technology works relatively well on white men the results are less accurate for other demographics in part because they lack of diversity in the images they used to develop the underlying databases and this flaw in the programming has now made poor father of 2 robber williams famous famous for potentially being the 1st u.s. citizen arrested for a crime he did not commit because of a failed algorithm. as n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden chillingly tweeted this is the story of your future told today so let's take a dive into the todays future dangers as we start watching the hawks. going on a city.
