is r.t. international my name's colleen brave welcome to world news and reaction from a sailor in the russian capital we're going to start with some breaking news for you this hour coming into us of the new center a military plane with up to 23 people on board has crashed in the hulk over region of eastern ukraine 18 people are confirmed dead and 2 are said to be in a critical condition after suffering severe burns it was an antonov a n $26.00 craft it's a twin engine turbo prop aircraft widely used in the military and it's said to have crashed while coming into land near the city of which is about 530 kilometers east of kiev ukrainian military sources say the had been 5 crew members and 18 cadets on board details are still coming in when we can come for more for you we will of course update you.

tor headline news then a machete attack near the former paris headquarters of the satirical magazine charlie hebdo is being treated now as a terror incident 2 suspects have been detained there are reports the police have arrested 5 more people linked to the attack the french prime minister and interior minister visited the scene from their shoulder do bensky report. the national anti terror agency has opened an investigation into this incident this attack which took place in the 11th hour home decent of paris in the east of the paris area has been opened for what's described as being attempted assassination in connection with terrorism and surprise we know that 2 people were injured in that attack which machete was used as the object to stab people with the standard they are seriously injured we know that there are a man and a woman and we understand that they would for

a news agency that now has offices in the same building where the satirical magazine show you used to have its office prior to the attack in 2015 which killed many people at the office and started a wave of terror attacks that france has been experiencing now for many years when decide that a crisis unit has been opened by the interior minister and i think tweeted that we know that sue individuals have been arrested one apparently placed that through a plus to the bus to which is a powerful a kilometer from where i'm situated at the moment and the 2nd individual was arrested just close to here apparently 1 had blood 8. persons the french prime minister has linked this attack to the current trial taking place that's of individuals accused of helping terrorists in 2015 who carried out the deadly attacks on surely. these attacks occur in

a symbolic place and at the very moment when the trial of the puppetry does of the undignified acts against surely abdo is taking place this is an opportunity for the government of the republic to reiterate his unwavering commitment to press freedom it's resolute will by all means to fight against terrorism and to affirm to the. nation full mobilization comes just weeks after shortly after the satirical magazine which was attacked back in 2015 we published controversial cartoons which i'm good many people in the muslim world those qualities of the muslim prophet mohammed and many people criticized charlie hebdo for once again we publishing that tomorrow start over the terror trial a trial north of the people carried out that attack but over individuals who are accused of assisting with that attack so perhaps putting the terrorists in their

homes or financially supporting them so we have to said that this was about defending freedom of speech and it wanted to show that it wasn't scared that following the republication magazine once again received fresh. is once again threatened by a terrorist organization threats that constitute a real brutal cation in the me so the trial or the general read 2015 attacks. i had 10 minutes to gather my things and leave my home 10 minutes to leave behind a part of my life that's a bit sure it's very brutal well it's not clear whether these 2 incidents connected death but we do know that this is being treated very seriously indeed because of the investigation this be opened by the national guard to the terrorism agency you might be able to see around here the air is all cordoned off and there is a security operation including military from operation sultan el this was

the french military operation that was launched back in 2015 when france started experiencing those larger waves of terror attacks. when the statement issued today the magazine expressed its support for the victims and their families it said such incidents just show fanaticism and intolerance still exists in france. where french police union spokesman says he believes attacks these days are more likely to come from individuals than big talent outworks. this is so wrong it is absolutely not certain that there are real networks with a queer structure behind the attackers this is not an absolutely certain condition it is enough for them to be able to make contact via the internet through other networks they can be put into action by someone else's or they can start acting on the room it depends on the individual this becomes clear when an image of the suspect who was detained is compiled it is no longer necessary to belong to

a network structure based on a certain material and technical base as it was several years ago indeed it is possible to take action flick colossal damage with very limited funds and resources this is true because when such an act is committed the entire mechanism of communication and dissemination of information is launched which causes a resonance that is many times greater to the means that were involved one man with a knife and no significant force have been deployed all neighborhoods have been cordoned off in the situation discovered at the national international level. russia's rolled out a list of what it sees as inconsistency is an discrepancies in germany's handling of the suspected poisoning of kremlin critic alexina bounding meanwhile france says it's in close contact with berlin and other allies as they draw up an appropriate response to what they call a serious assault on international standards. as more of a growing diplomatic spat. russian foreign ministry said that they evade evidence

that surrounding novis in this case is questionable not only from a legal point of view also germany's actions were coordinated to the point that it prompted many questions including whether it was all staged germany's actions were so swift and well organized that it began to raise questions as to whether we're seeing yet another staging of the mysterious use of chemical weapons but this time around not in syria or britain but in russia now there are probably several reasons as to why the russian foreign ministry is saying that what you just heard there received an official is welcome when he was airlifted from siberia it's a burden there were security officials there it's a meet him there was a special transport and all other attributes that pointed that it was staged in order to accuse russia of chemical weapons violation with the o.p.c. w according to the foreign ministry now after german officials announced that not

violently was allegedly poisoned they demanded answers from the kremlin and moscow made several requests to burden to share their findings about russian officials insisted they can't launch and in a criminal case without any evidence after all russian doctors have not found any trace of poisoning in this system the german government is actively obstructing the preliminary probe conducted in russia over the new valmy incident thus preventing the truth from being established bearing witness to the answers their unequivocal refusal to cooperate with either the russian law enforcement and medics all the prosecutor general's office now russia's foreign ministry also questioned the evidence that was supposedly airlifted along with me in a german airplane along with its crew all the way it's a bird and now this statement noted their perfect health after his alleged poison. thing the foreign ministry also said it was something amazing bordering with

science fiction there are political motives behind this whole story as is evidenced by the fact that germany was withholding information about the bottle allegedly tainted with highly toxic chemicals which was picked up in the hotel room in owned by novell needs associates in breach of the russian criminal procedural code and the subsequent illegal shipment of this bottle to germany clearly such proof is rather dubious from a legal standpoint just as dubious is how and professionally in terms of chemical protection novell needs associates and german medics were handling this item without the mandatory hazmat suits on there are also questions regarding the fact that people who were around the valley at the airport and on board the plane are all feeling well although you would think that they would be seriously affected but this didn't happen apparently thanks to some miraculous coincidence again the whole case is rife with inexplicably things bordering on fiction. now a month after he was allegedly poisoned with

a lethal neurotoxic agent movie chalk and the valley has now been discharged from the german clinic doctors are saying that he's on the way to a full recovery now there's still seem to be more questions than answers surrounding this case the thing you're pointing at russia however began long before the release of any specific data. france recorded its highest number of daily coded infections since the pandemic began more than 16000 cases were registered on thursday the day before the french government announced new measures to contain the spread of the virus health authorities have introduced a graded alert system areas with more than $150.00 cases per 100000 people are shown in red or the worst hit areas with more than $250.00 cases per 100008 dark red and they face the strictest measures but the move not going down well with business owners already struggling to get back on their feet many of them turned out in paris earlier warning that they simply won't survive fresh closures bars and

restaurants have already been ordered to shut in last say in the south while in red zones like paris opening hours from next week i've been curtailed to 10 pm and anger is growing fast. here i'm on the now this i'm going if we can travel in the metro close to each other masked how is it that we cannot be in a bar restaurant respecting the instructions in truth imposed have to look down rules to diverse maturity respect serious economic support of the people of bring them all my friendship and solidarity it can happen to paris in a few days time and if they ask us to close we will no longer be able to return today we say little we want to be able to work we know how to work and we know what precautions to take. there are health rules to apply we apply them but on the other hand the government is bludgeoning us they are hitting us with this but you should know that they can hit even harder so today we are here calmly but it can quickly

escalate. for french dr martin latte believes that without such measures the situation could become far worse. densely populated places in big cities especially in bars and restaurants people can forget that they need to take precautions if you go to a bar or restaurant was such a high transmission risk you could then infect your family members with the virus so far we do not have a vaccine and the recommended measures are temporary as the minister said they will be revised in 2 weeks if we do nothing it will lead us to a public health emergency when i hear what some politicians have to say i think we need to ask people who have been in intensive care they really know what we are talking about and across the channel britain could soon become the 1st country to deliberately expose volunteers to the coronavirus in the world 1st trial the financial times sides project insiders claiming it could begin in january and

a quarantine facility in east london volunteers will reportedly receive a vaccine and then a dose of the actual virus a month later but concerns have been raised about the morality of such a move. volunteers are not how can this be ethical when corona virus infection can be fatal wonder what we would be saying about this if it was russia not u.k. project risky reckless irresponsible typical of russia how risky as a human challenge trials there's no official confirmation of the ripple for the british government has said that it's open to such studies reading university microbiologist dr simon clock says desperate times call for desperate measures. it's quite unusual of course if we had effective treatments the rush for a back seat would probably wouldn't be so would be so strong it's not optimal an optimal way of doing it ideally you'd let people get the. virus normally but needs must have

a devil drive off back so against the wall on this and we've really got to be able to come up with a vaccine in pretty short order so i think some people think this is a way of doing it you know they need to it's a sub optimal way of doing trials no 2 ways about it the fact is the hospitals in this country in the spring were gone by lots and lots of people who were seriously ill many of whom were literally unable to breathe and needed the attention of intensive care that meant that that so the hospitals were unable to discharge their normal case loads and that was the basic problem. with r.t. from moscow good to have you with us on the way some of the world's biggest comedy has a revving up for a fight the trumpet ministration they say his trade war with china is putting the brakes on production going to take you through that among all stories after the break.

it's going to be hard to reclaim freedom and we're going to have to work at it but as people recognise from examples like. what repression digital systems need to. i hope people will start fighting men saying we won't tolerate systems. streets in our homes that can't possibly track what we're doing. seems wrong when old rules just don't all. get to shape out these days become advocates and indeed from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

welcome back major car companies including tesla have filed lawsuits against the trumpet ministration for what they called a norful tariffs on chinese made parts they believe the president's trade war with beijing and claim but they can't find alternative manufacturers saskia tate has got the story. fost in serious speeding it's way to dominating the car industry but it may have reached a bit of a roadblock increase tariffs schools economic. through the increase of costs and the impact of profitability due to the complexity of the model 3 car computer and the demanding timelines necessary for teslas exponential growth to say he's unable

to find another manufacturer to meet our requirements tesla has filed a lawsuit against the trumpet ministration why welty components the company uses namely the computer tips are made in china and as luck would have it these parts are subject to 25 percent tariffs as part of trump's tough on china strategy ido musk says it's a car crash and the tariffs are all poetry capricious and in a piece of this question probably not what a president wants to hear from one of his country's greatest minds who he's fine gold in the past is one of our great geniuses that we have to protect and with mosques a single says probably not what trump had in mind when he promised to make america great again protecting our workers are protecting our companies to trade war hurts them doesn't hurt us with a hole in his pocket now musk is asking for a refund with interest of course on all the tax he's already had to pay and tess is

not the only company spinning out of the big hits is like miss a day's fortune volvo have also decided to sue trump and co they are irony of all this is all these tariffs are quite literally driving away business for americans and europeans for beijing that they've been a road to diversification i don't create profit but you know the trade friction between china and us puts pressure on companies whose main market is the u.s. the value of exposed to the u.s. has decreased companies have been exploring multiple markets the result is remarkable and has enlarged known u.s. markets well the. the u.s. market for chinese products is trying to search on his overall exports keep growing so was no doubt for president trump who 4 years ago said the cards were in american hands we have the cards don't forget we're like the piggy bank is being robbed we can't continue to allow china to rape our country and that's what they're doing

it's their greatest surfed in the history of the world while 4 years on and the u.s. trade deficit with china is almost 10 percent more than one trump said those wads and for years on it looks like it's now tester and co who are the ones looking into that piggy banks and saying empty words not those gold coins they were promised chinese affairs analyst for to go told us he believes the trumps efforts to disrupt supply chains will fail. justified and destructive tariff was are not child for china it's also not tell the folks in the united states that tariffs are not paid by china but tariffs are paid by the american consumers and the american importers the chinese export to the united states is not sure again it is enlarging and as a rule our farm rome was not to be able to overnight and supply chains of knots of build or destroy its overnight no it is much more complicated china is x.

14 but also help the many other manufacturers in making their businesses successful that's why i don't think president trump or his followers was succeed in their attempt to just drop the supply chain or to for example force american companies to move back to the united states because economics simply doesn't work that way. britain's announced a massive commitment to green hydrogen as part of efforts to be carbon neutral by 2050 and prime minister boris johnson's given it his full backing quite extraordinary potential we have thought for when we want to lead in carbon capture and storage technology i barely believe was possible but i'm not a complete evangelist. and we want to use those technologies to develop a lot of hydrogen will put a big bit on hydrogen. thought

a lot of purposes and not least the ability to hydrogen has to provide a lot of grunt for. the trucks the trains for even keeps the planes of vehicles on paper great hydrogen looks a clear winner against fossil fuels it's made using renewable energy and the only by products are oxygen and water but mechanical engineering professor david said barnes says the problem is the technology is incredibly inefficient. economy. through green green arjun you have to build a very large amount of renewable electricity just to give you an example if you power home heating directly through the current with air to city or you do the same thing through hydrogen you need 6 times more electricity to do it through harder and we are at a time in human life when the amount of renewable electricity is limited

scarce there is not freely available interest the we're trying to to. to decarbonize the entire global energy system and to require 6 times more power to one system than another it's completely obvious that you don't want to do that. are behind this the hydrogen task force a lobbying group founded by the likes of oil giant b.p. and shell they've been pushing the government in britain to try to commit to hydrogen one of the goals is 100 percent clean hydrogen heating in the country by 2025 they also want financial support to build hydrogen fuel stations for road transport but critics say the oil giants know that hyper gin isn't a long term solution. we know the global warming is their injures the additional danger here is that is that this just to hydrogen is caught is going to cause

a lot more to learn what we'll see and there is no doubt that we'll see that hydrogen is far too expensive vehicles and far too expensive for home heating we know that we know that it's going to happen but it's going to take quite a few years before people realize that curse the dash 100 which is being promoted by a very powerful international lobby. in the fossil fuel industry well that's doing is causing delays it's causing electrification projects not to happen it's causing governments not to make decisions about what to do and you remember that we only have until 2040 to completely decarbonise if we're going to get to one of the 2 groups of global warming it's detrimental to carbon emissions it's detrimental to energy usage there to mental to the current position rates and still a tremendous energy security so it's got everything there that and nothing good with it. thank you it's time to update you on the breaking news we started the

bulletin with 22 people are now confirmed dead after a military plane crashed in the holocaust region of eastern ukraine video shows the plane engulfed in flames at the side of a highway 2 people are said to be in a critical condition having suffered severe burns the twin engine turboprop antonov and 26 is reported to have crashed or coming into land near the city. which is about 500 kilometers east of kiev earlier military sources in ukraine said there were 5 crew and 18 cadets on board although the exact number is yet to be officially confirmed the ukrainian president has said he will travel to the crash site tomorrow. that's it from the moscow newsroom next it's watching the hawks in washington.

as a culture war consumes american politics during this election cycle the economy remains in a big area state millions of people live on the margins the only constant for them is insecurity economists debate individual recovery they speak of the you know but is the reality the change of government money. time after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important to accelerate transitions to sustainable prize board sustainability stay in her manner a more equitable and sustainable well. they claim their production is completely harmless.

and it does not the companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is something this must be done to anyone and i mean look. this is the move and news to me didn't even i'm stunned seen by me understood so when. joining me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then. paula continue so if you could visionaries me sophie shevardnadze the last few

months have put data protection back in the spotlight joining a crisis of this kind do we have to choose between safety and privacy while i talk about this with richard stallman digital privacy activist and the founder of the free software movement. richard stallman digital privacy activist the founder and leader of the free software movement it's such a pleasure to have you on our program once again while richard time so really changed and still last time we induced folk and i have so many questions. especially now that we're in the middle of one of the biggest crisis our generations have faced in the past 100 years so is the coronavirus epidemic has shown that. giant tech companies can use stand resources to help out in a crisis situation and that's undeniable i haven't seen that well i mean i haven't

seen them help us yet but i don't remain seeing that they're doing right now is helping people spread insane lunatic rumors that are starting from the president of the us who is basically the saboteur in chief acting just like a lot of rebellious chieftains that told their followers my magic will make you invulnerable to bullets well trump is telling his followers. you're invulnerable to coronavirus and they expose themselves and some get sick and they die and he says it didn't happen no you let points there can i just give us examples of what i meant when i sat that they helped for instance when people were in lock downs and still like a lot of countries are getting 2nd waves right now and people feel more comfortable staying home if they can work on distance so you have amazon for instance

delivering goods food. utilities things that you need. a ball because they track you you know. i if i were concerned only with my physical safety i might use those services too but i do find safety in a broader way it includes my health it also includes my freedom and my privacy and therefore i never use those disservices that require people to identify themselves and they do it to get food delivered that way you have to give you have to identify yourself in order to pay you can't pay cash and then you have to give your address to and that's more information that then i want the supermarket to have about me so i go to a supermarket wearing a mask of course and keeping my.
