and up to a bombshell a new claim about much is that google is skewing such results ahead of the u.s. presidential election but whose benefits a. specific use for it doesn't matter from. political tomboy in the u.k. northern as they lash out at boris johnson for imposing tough new parade of artists restrictions of the reach of we also people how they feel about. the economic package so you know it's just it would keep people out if they think they should put this into through about giving people the correct why not just to voice people are going to be able to spy revenge on france continues its crackdown on hate

speech it all has the pleasure of i'm also going to be linked to the beheading of a teacher who showed caricature of the prophet mohammad. bring you your news every hour of the day this is all it international is very welcome from the whole team. while lots of stories the phosphor on the countdown to the u.s. presidential elections is of course on either looks like there's a new october surprise a recent study reveals that tech giants google and facebook have reportedly been manipulating online such results and as one political party and one counted it in particular who's a repaying the rewards of more pen breaks it all down for us in these times when you're trying to make up your mind about something or. doing research on

a topic what comes up when you type it into google can be pretty decisive well according to project vera toss google could be manipulating the results in favor of the democratic party. or you. know. if it was flawed it doesn't matter where we're from. and on the other side i have this us and the new mason interview the longer whatever. and. the person on camera is purported to be a programmer with google cloud purporting to say that in fact results do get manipulated to serve a political bias now google is on record saying that it is committed to free elections and democracy if this is indeed true it certainly feeds into donald trump's narrative that his administration is battling against powerful forces the tech giants are very powerful google search results for trump news shows only the

viewing reporting of fake news media in other words they have it rigged it's not just google recently we saw twitter and facebook worked almost black out an article from the new york post about hunter biden son of democratic presidential nominee joe biden apparently facebook did not want people to know about his shady dealings in ukraine and china now the social media giant says this was an issue of fact checking no political bias and want to be clear that this story is illegal to be fact checked by facebook's the policy front chicken partners in the meantime we're reducing its distribution on all platforms on the surface facebook seems to really care about election integrity they even have a staff to oversee it one of those staffers happens to be anaemic jew who just happens to be joe biden senior policy adviser for europe and eurasia and she was giving to. biden advice at the very same time that these shady deals in ukraine

were alleged to have taken place top staffers being quite wrapped up in the very stories that are getting suppressed seems to indicate trump's supporters might be on to something. big tex by is clear and obvious to either in facebook of censors president trump and his campaign at least 65 times combined yet they haven't touched any of joe biden is the council even the ones sure donald trump certainly tweets a lot more than joe biden but it's starting to look like there's a lot of meddling taking place in u.s. elections and it's not coming from moscow. r.t. new york in the meantime the u.s. government has filed charges against the tech giant google saying it's being green tea with such service as an appetizer we'll talk about a bit later on in the program. u.k. 1000 restrictions in the u.k.

have seen politicians lock horns the mayor of greater manchester has lashed out at westminster saying the imminent lockdown in his region will push people into poverty that's after talks to avoid those stricter measures collapsed on tuesday we made a generous and extensive offer to support mentors does business didn't accept this unfortunately and move given the public health situation i must proceed with moving great amounts as i say to the very high level no point today where we offered it more to protect the poorest people in our communities through the punishing reality of the winter to come out i now look to parliament to be a make a judgment on a by natural framework for 3 lock downs but what's really striking about this latest disagreement is the politicize ation of it as seen by some with the labor may. i'm holding out saying that the city with its for the number of cases since

that speak in september shouldn't be going into 2 or 3 locked on one at least without some kind of sufficient financial package from the central government now initially the mayor had said that his team had to close around mine $2000000.00 pounds as part of a package the government's figure was around $60000000.00 but they just couldn't seem to come to an agreement eventually the government put forward only 22000000 pounds of speaking to some of the locals on the street the majority of them backing the position of the mayor and really proud of andy burnham the mayor of manchester for really they were the way the b.b.c. put it was bending them into government over a barrel and really sticking hard on this one and defending those people because that the economic package they announced just it won't keep people alive i do think it's very good that he's holding out for financial measures because we do need that and it hasn't been done enough. but also there is

a point where you cannot hold human lives as a leverage anymore they think that they should play since to think about giving people the correct by not just people are going to be able to survive a bit so. yet the government still insisting this part of the country should be going into 2 or 3 lock down what that means for those especially the lowest paid in the cities well it's going to be a long dark winter ahead. starting on friday great much still will be put in the u.k. so. that's cost us $2.00 or 3 what does that mean while a ban on mixing between households guidance against travel in or out of the area and the closure of all pubs we had from local councillor brett to labels the trust stick measures as misguided. i'm still not convinced that 3 is a solution to the rising rates especially myra in this time if rates start going to change then obviously the government was right and we're

wrong the big issue is to protect lives and it's also to make sure our economy doesn't on its alone 5 to 8 that if you're up for it and you're in a low 'd income job you're more likely to touch this and you're more 'd likely to have although it's problems so 'd even worse we have a focus on interest but gauged than all the. global economy will get by the way it. it will are saying to the poorest members of the community. well from the u.k. to the rest of europe where the 2nd wave of 1000 is gathering pace and belgium france and spain that were high and not those countries now have case numbers far higher than during the peak back in spring and the spanish region of catalonia doctors say that they are down to that essentials and protective equipment and to drive their own point home tool 14 a group of them stripped to that underway in central square bottom knowna they are

just one example of how people are struggling all across the continent with more on how governments are battling to flatten not his. lots to get through different measures being taken in different countries across europe will start from where i'm talking to you from here in germany. most of germany has got off pretty lightly compared to its european neighbors what we've seen on tuesday is a full red alert announced in the back this god no region of the varia in the south of the country 2 and a half 1002 wrists being told you've got to go and they have to go immediately as the back has got. no region goes into this full lockdown. and in poland which is one of those countries that fed reasonably well in the spring when we 1st saw covert 19 it ripped through europe it's not doing so well now with the government

there is put in place a series of measures which includes things like closing gyms however we have seen some fitness clubs attempting to get round that one in crack of in particular has relaunched itself as a church of the healthy body in an attempt to circumvent the ban on gyms while they are doing that the authorities in poland taking things a little more seriously in fact they've turned the national stadium in warsaw into a makeshift hospital as the polish government prepares for the worst human machine which chinese we must also think about darcus naruse if we are not able to stop the pandemic in our country temporary hospitals will be necessary. spain more cities going into lockdown for 2 weeks nevada the latest to do just starts around 650000 people who will be locked down that means bars restaurants won't be able to open it supposed to last for around 2 weeks but it could roll on depending on

infection rates spain saw 25000 extra infections of covert 19 over the weekend. moving north and the island is heading into 6 weeks of what's being called extreme lockdown households would not be allowed to mix with one another and you're not supposed to go more than 5 kilometers from your own home in measures that will last until the beginning of december i understand and i feel very personally i prefer. the sense of disappointment the feelings of loneliness perhaps even this the despair that this announcement will bring for many. if we pull together over the next 6 weeks we would have the opportunity to celebrate christmas in a meaningful way. we look at in italy the law the region has seen a huge spike in infections that's probably the introduction of

a nighttime curfew the hospitals there are concerned that they may become overwhelmed and as they did back in the spring the 1st wave of covert 90. 9 the response to rivers is do not have legs it is people who spread the lumber the is a very dynamic region very active with a lot of population and the large concentration of population in the cities well overall it's a pretty bleak picture here in europe one big question that nobody seems to be able to answer though is why countries like germany sweden and denmark aren't bearing the brunt as much as their neighbors. and france people continue to mourn slain teacher samuel party the 47 year old was brutally killed last week in what was declared a terror incident on tuesday thousands gathered to pay tribute following a vigil in his home town a crowd of grieving people joined a silent march with many carrying placards bearing parties portrayed last week that

he was beheaded outside his school in a suburb of paris the suspect an 18 year old refugee of chechen origin was later shocked at by the police and it's possible that was motivated by the fact that patty had shown his students a series of cartoons including 2 depicting the muslim prophet mohammad in a class on the freedom of speech. when response the french government ordered the closure of a mosque accused of having links to that attack the place of wash up outside the capital had earlier posted a video calling for a campaign against the teacher and while the need of the mosque apologized for posting the clip he didn't have the last denounce the shutdown order. everybody knows that i am a so-called moderate muslim that i call for tolerance open mindedness i've got the impression that they just need to throw someone under the bus the law school be closed for 6 months starting on wednesday but it's need to have been given 48 hours

to appeal the decision and court members of the congregation believe they are being unfairly punished for that gruesome crime. only to man we have a very kind of mom who speaks to us in a rabid confession and doesn't tell people what to do she never gathered us together to tell us to do anything bad. for george orwell i don't know if i told people you should go and buy weapons and then they go and buy weapons and kill someone i'm not responsible for that. i'm not happy about the mosques closure i'm against what happened to the teacher i condemn it i do not agree with those who committed the crime but for the mosque it's a shame while in around an hour also our correspondent will be bringing us up to speed on all the latest developments will be straight from paris to check back that . well still to come this hour it might cost them a pretty penny but sudan is set to be taken off the u.s. terror list will tell you all the details are still playing.

there is a saying in washington don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good this appropriately describes the political a.v.m. fair for another stimulus time and to center of this standoff is who wins or loses just prior to the election in the meantime tens of millions are suffering with no end in sight. when almost seemed wrong why don't we all just don't call. me old yet to shape out these days to come out ahead and engage me because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. hello god and now the u.s. has pledged to take saddam off its list of terrorism state sponsors and exchange at once called him to pay out hundreds of millions to terror ficta mz and untrue malton diplomacy style the american president and his sudanese counter-top took to twitter to discuss the deal. great news new government of sudan which is making great progress agreed to pay $335000000.00 to u.s. tera victims and families once deposited i will lift see down from the state

sponsors of terrorism list thank you so much president from we very much look forward to your official notification to congress rescinded the designation of sudan as a state sponsor of terrorism which has cost sudan too much currently washington's list of terrorist states include 4 countries so don but that also iran north korea syria this means that subject to sanctions they can receive foreign aid from the west there's also a ban on all sales as well as a number of financial restrictions sudan was 1st and that made to that terrorist state off the harboring al qaeda leader osama bin laden.

terrorism expert david low believes the upcoming election stateside played a big role in this latest move of course this is a devastating. political statement and that the issue then turned out not to be about terrorism if that was ever the subject of the us saddam conflict but it is about money i mean imagine what kind of president this is going to send not just within that region but world right but i really think it was never about money in the 1st place trump is desperate to go back to his supporters and to claim another foreign policy victory especially because in 2 days there will be another

i debate that will focus largely on foreign policy so he needs to go and talk about his achievements and sudan in addition to the immigrants and be the leaders of his achievements asar as his son son this is really more about u.s. elections that that money percent. story and a historic with the u.s. government has slapped charges on tech giant google it's accused of violating laws meant to stop monopolies on online such as in advertising the lawsuits one of the most significant legal challenges to a tech company and kate's. how does a legal letter surely he. is truly an r m. please do it again if exclusionary. well

not issue often open it's the old google holds 88 percent of the us such market with 94 percent of all mobile such as occurring on it saba says washington also alleges that the tech company suppresses it if they should by hill king up distribution through contracts with apple but it's one less day pocket says this looks a lot like history repeating itself i want to compare it to historically true the advent of the widespread use of the telephone in america about 100 years ago when the company called american telephone and telegraph owned everything including the manufacturing of the equipment so government led that ride for about 50 years in the prices got too high in the service got too bad and so they filed a lawsuit against a t.n.t. an antitrust suit and it resulted in a t.n.t. breaking up into regional companies and telephone service being opened up to competitors and all of that made life much much better for business and for

american citizens now we have google which is considerably more complicated than a telephone number one because we're not quite sure what they're doing when you use the company's services for free and you can't figure out what they do to make money and what their product is that means the product is you and they're selling you and your data and we just don't know how certainly it should not be done behind closed doors under cover of darkness by only one company for its part google bodies and will serve as deeply flawed consumers by pushing them too and its opinion in feria rivals. people use google because they choose to not because they're forced to or because they can't find alternatives this lawsuit would do nothing to help consumers to the contrary it would artificially probable over quality search alternatives raise phone prices and make it harder for people to get the search services they want to use what google has done is build themselves centrally

a couple of different forms of monopolies within the marketplace one of them specifically though is with the android operating system which they say not only has google you know dominance in terms of being the largest operating system in the world but defaults that system to create google as the search they also also dominate the advertising market for online advertising as you know about 80 to 90 percent of all online advertising goes through directly through google and so the idea is that google has used an optimized its search engine its enjoyed operating system to be able to create market dominance and it's not necessarily because the public loves google so much as it is the fact that google has found a way to make themselves really the primary search engine online when it comes to a mobile device. finally this hour the officer in charge of all weapons on a british nuclear submarine has apparently sunk to new depths that softer allegedly tightening up for walk after a night on the town at a saudi edwards dashti found out this is not the finest time and funny and has

found itself in choppy out. fears over the nuclear button and what could happen if it was pushed an era has overshadowed humanity for decades so no one wants the trigger to be in the wrong hands certainly not drunk ones one lieutenant commander in charge of nuclear missiles on board a british royal navy submarine stationed in the united states was sent home last month after he allegedly arrived intoxicated for duty following a big night out and is far from steady and sober hands were carrying a bag of grilled chicken and to work personally i go for fried on a hangover chicken aside an investigation has been launched where an individual's conduct falls short of the high standards so we expect we won't hesitate to take the appropriate action where we don't comment on the detail there are numerous safety checks and processes to protect the safety and use of weapons aboard all submarines while turning up hamet at most jobs as a sockpuppet offense most people aren't responsible for missiles and sensors on the

u.k.'s nuclear deterrent vessels and the incident has rallied the twitter brigade who are calling for nuclear disarmament this is not reassuring me why not just remove your nukes and everything associated with them from scotland that would be more effective and next you don't to do to nation no for a nuclear warhead in a populated area is unthinkable let us make that impossible by destroying these weapons whose sole purpose is to vaporize everything and if that's not bad enough in 2017 the submarines reputation took another dive then captain of the vessel was removed from his post after allegations he was having an affair with a female crew member same year different incident 9 british sailors were kicked off the board after testing positive for cocaine and now another scandal has surfaced as a quarter of the crew tested positive for covert 19 after sailors went boozing despite a strict doctor measures so the h.m.s.
