to join us in the debt. or remain in the shallows. the final u.s. presidential debate is happening today on with the clock ticking the question of social media bias has raised its head again. quite frankly we are moving at a startling pace in terms of all these platforms and we don't have the laws that really apply to them whoever is operating these groups and. these police say was this is our mainstream media in general. for weeks on no sign of or by the dispute between azerbaijan and armenia open up want to care about remains our correspondents on the ground they couldn't take us to the frontline and in fact they didn't go either not only because it's too dangerous but because the

commanding officer of that particular platoon didn't want us filming that and more trouble for the astra zeneca popov 19 jobs and a young one and taylor has died in the back of trial he fostered reported case worldwide. while it's 9 am here in moscow happy to have your company south as we look at the big stories of the day since. doesn't get bigger than us well less than 2 weeks out from the u.s. election as the anticipation builds the 2 presidential hopefuls are set to face off in the final debate on thursday 8 but there's been a slight tweak to the rules moderators will now be able to mute the microphones of the candidates after many dubbed the previous event chaotic the choice of topics this time has also raised a few eyebrows as it won't include foreign policy many say this will deny trump the

chance to hit out joe biden over the business dealings of his son into with more of what's in store for us his ought to use caleb. the final debate between the 2 presidential candidates is set no foreign policy issues are to be discussed furthermore the whole scandal involving joe biden's son and certain ukrainian natural gas companies is considered arguably to be a foreign policy issue so according to democrats it cannot be discussed because after all it's all a big russian conspiracy where we know that this whole smear on joe biden comes from the kremlin we want to emphasize that we do not know if the e-mails provided to the new york post by president personal attorney rudy giuliani a genuine or not and that we do not have evidence over russian involvement just that our experience makes us deeply suspicious that the russian government played

a significant role in this case now the national intelligence director the f.b.i. and the u.s. department of justice all think that's a little bit of a stretch hunter biden's laptop and the e-mails ometer are part of some russian this information campaign let me be clear the intelligence community doesn't believe that. i'm not aware of any russia distant from asian campaign that would involve these e-mails or this laptop so no questions about one of the biggest scandals involving one of the candidates so how else can we make sure the debate is fair to both sides there's always the mute button the presidential debates commission has actually decided that they will mute the microphones during certain portions of the debate they tell us this decision was made out of love for the american people we're comfortable that these actions straight the right balance and the during the interest of de mary can people for whom days to beat their hallowed

so if you were looking forward to probing questions about key global issues or perhaps about the biden family scandals you're likely to be disappointed but at least we have that mute button and a guarantee of a level playing field for both candidates no bias none at all ala poppen artsy new york meanwhile republicans want the twitter and facebook has to testify before congress so for a legit political bias that follows the platform's take down links to a new york post article on hunt to buy to business dealings in ukraine more of gaza have now delves into that on a few want to control the seas. it is often the case that those who trumpet loudest about being fair and unbiased aren't at all but facebook really seems to mean that they want fair elections no meddling at the president that america wants and facebook wants so today i want to share the steps that we're taking to protect

election integrity and make sure that facebook is a force for good in democracy part of what facebook is doing is harming people to police news and one of the things that they're censoring is about the current scandal so joe biden his son and ukraine which involves alleged meddling abuse of power blatant conflict of interest and a whole lot of money going into the bidens family counts now if you try to share a link to an article about this on twitter or facebook here is what you get the link you are trying to access has been identified by twitter or our partners has been potentially spammy or unseat in accordance with twitter's you are poor see how does this happen how does that huge scandal get sent to the bidens have a lot of friends and one of those friends who now happens to work is election integrity police it facebook is

a certain anima can do anna used to work as joe biden senior policy adviser for europe and eurasia which includes ukraine perseid see when biden jr was raking in a standing sums of money for a ukrainian energy company for doing well no one knows what while daddy told ukrainian authorities how to run that country. an american city by senior policy adviser for ukraine at the time listened to the calls and said release of the transcripts would only strengthen biden's case that he acted properly she helped biden prepare for the conversations and said the old created at a high level if this wasn't enough corruption and cronyism for you adna was also a nonresident senior fellow at the atlantic council which dubs itself a nonpartisan think tank it also provided a slew of stuff for a bomber and his democrats administration james jones susan rice etc the point is

that the same time it was a devising joe biden at the same time his son was reportedly raking in millions of dollars from this ukrainian energy company the firm also began making payments to the atlantic council $100000.00 in donations so underarm is what this company was paying both biden junior boss's son and the atlantic council for which she worked and now she's at facebook which previously partnered with the atlantic council and are you at all surprised that stories critical of barton are now disappearing while i will intentionally not link to the new york post i want to be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by facebook's 3rd party fact checking partners in the meantime we are reducing its distribution on our platform breaking the news was ad d.

stone a career democrat and as is tradition now a facebook spokesperson you couldn't make this up remember what i said about those who proclaim the neutrality loudest well. facebook is and always has been an open transparent and nonpartizan platform where people can express themselves freely freely are through approval from facebook senses and factious election integrity police and chances are a form of joe biden staffer aside from that yes 3. of my colleague nikki aren't discussed the link between social media censorship on the american elections with a few of our path. facebook google and twitter previously vowed to prevent election to ferentz through their platforms to what extent do you think they've managed to fulfill that promise i don't really know what twitter or facebook could have done what they have instead done is made a horrifying promise that they can regulate truth that is hard enough to do in

a world that is it politics where does information is part of the game i daniel well all aware this big scandal right now is that joe biden son hunter biden the files from his laptop into the new york post and twitter and facebook have been actively blocking that story do you think that justified in doing that no of course they're not justified it was an absolutely outrageous act i mean they showed a significant bias in going after the hunter biden disclosures and i've read the hunter biden emails may strike me as perfectly valid perfectly classical so i believe the story and i think that that that twitter and facebook are are deliberately trying to withhold information from the public in a clear effort to swing the election well we know that in contrast to what happened with uninviting story we didn't think about the christopher seal which exploded across the world we get so used to koreans having been utterly discredited by our

own f.b.i. so relieved to be it's crystal clear that whoever is these are pretty accurate lives and very nice companies heavily say was as is our mainstream media the less and less and this is pushing down back aggressively right now in ways that i think may very well suppress results in the 2020 election in this country do you think many is to be legal changes to restrict the power of online platforms to decide what we can accommodate quite frankly we are moving at a startling pace in terms of all these platforms and we don't have laws that really apply to them they've made. promises they can't keep and they are trying to. please their user base is based solely on the the outrage of the moment the fact that twitter banned that hunter biden link for a couple days then reversed it on friday and yet still the new york post can't

unlock their their twitter account is exactly all you need to know to show what kind of coherence exists inside of twitter which on this issue is nonexistent i mean we should really be we should really adopt a very strict free speech standard here which does away with us as a ship and poses the very concept but the important point is that the censorship is being imposed on facebook and twitter by the government the government is afraid of these platforms liberals and democrats are both pushing for for increased government regulation and i think it's an assault on free speech so i think of the of the sheet as much free speech as possible and that means there will be bad speech but the only remedy for bad speech is good speech more good speech and do you think it's a harming the democratic process in the us you know i think that they are

providing a tremendous service in terms of giving us the platform to communicate with each other the problem is them not setting hard ground rules and keeping to them in a way that is actively harming their ability to be those free platforms and the people who are harming the democratic process in the u.s. or the republican and democratic parties. face struggle between on media on azerbaijan if and when it has entered its 4th week and i stand at his side no signs of letting up with reports of shelling in parts of the disputed region on wednesday not far from the front line his in course dano. right now we head into the north to the northern front line which is one of the 2 remaining major hotspots in the corner cab back our drivers brother is serving there so he's bringing food and warm clothes as we're going our driver keeps glancing to the right there's only a couple kilometers between our car and there's eerie artillery the road he's being

heavily shelled. the homely smell of freshly baked bread filling the car seems out of place as we're approaching the frontline town so this is where we had to get out the city of that kept essentially they couldn't take us to the front line and in fact they didn't go either not only because it's too dangerous but because the commanding officer of that particular platoon didn't want us filming there so that we don't give out the positions but the city of mark that gets it has no rest this is just one of hundreds of craters left all around the city just this tuesday the armenian forces managed to repel a 700 strong attack here now that the as every command knows how storage the resistance is they've cranked up the bombardments by an order of magnitude. live on our driver has to unload his cargo here he knows that there will be no

shortage of good samaritans willing to pass it on to those in the trenches when there's a break in the fighting of course meanwhile live on and his friends can do more good collecting a new batch of supplies. our friends from russia sent us what we need or we worry supplies or service and bring them to those who need it. dawn of reporting from the northern front line in the going to care about see all their tensions in the corner carpark stretch back more than 3 decades the fighting escalated in late september as a by john on our media agreed on a humanitarian ceasefire but since have accused each other of violating it although the region is populated predominantly by ethnic armenians it is need to be part of the by john in fact on $1000.00 by john claimed it took control of several villages in the war torn region and the country's defense ministry published this footage as alleged evidence we spoke to some as ari refugees who fled their homes and want to

care about 2 years ago when the conflict 1st broke out. still not overwhelmed with joy we've been waiting for this for 27 years and all of a sudden you hear the news of liberation when we were forced to leave the village i felt so terrible as i was leaving the grave of my brother behind me i was crying when visiting his grave for the last time as the enemy was approaching. but the time of occupation had been married for a year and a young child left her village with empty hands thanks to the authorities and our soldiers will be back home soon let my internal house with all belongings disappear i just want my land back i need that land. was my 1st thing i'll do is restore my house i have so many dreams and desires when i am back it is hard to express it in words i told my kids a lot but they need to see the place on their own to fully understand my stories

leaving food really was the end of the world for me i was 14 all i remember is bombs being dropped on our heads i'm so happy and grateful to our soldiers that i can make my dream come true the years of displacement will be in my memory forever i do not wish that on anybody. a young volunteer they need to corona virus vaccine trial has died in brazil the drug is being developed by the angry swedish fosters that occur along with oxford university so far it hasn't been established whether the volunteer we see the actual vaccine or a placebo since this news of. is in the pharma company how for that but it's not the 1st setback for this particular vaccine back in september the trials were temporarily put on hold after a volunteer fell sick with a rust spinal thought this time however the trials will continue without delay. following careful assessment of this case in brazil there have been new concerns

about safety of the clinical trial and the independent review in addition to the brazilian regulator have recommended that the trial should continue we have from talk to mohamed lead a he's a 5 wanted to step britain's like catherine fast and he says the key question really to ask kara is what's the possum who died given the real facts even if we do look onto the front runners vaccine oxford university also zanuck up or should vaccine is the one that have received the major concerns and terms of pauses in terms of having safety concerns and now having any will and here. but a bit in the phase 3 trial which is the last a trial i think that is really concerning i don't think them but the real question of work on whether the person has been vaccinated or was in the police or book group because now i would be determinative for really seeing if the safety is good enough to come to the trial or not but looking really onto 'd the onto the trial continuation because the brazilian government approved to carry on the trial meaning that probably the person has been in the political group but

a game the question is that about the transparency in providing all that information publicly is meant tamed a lot because if it doesn't it's really hard to interpret what we really is the actual situation on the ground to that on the program a number of job many things have mysterious people in fact into fountain as a man there is a bound our correspondent is on the hot process that's monetarist off to the shop right. beginning of this year we outlined 6 or 7 things that could be the pin to pop the bubble i think i'm not sure pandemic was on that list but general doesn't really matter what the pain is the bubble could have been. eased in and deflated long ago but it never was and so now it's popping and goldman sachs is saying well you know

this job by the way an outcome could cause a crash on the dollar baby maybe not in terms of relating to the biden whether he's in or not doesn't matter actually who's in the white house today the fact is that the dollar is toast a very garbles of who's in the white house. with little more than a week before the election many are asking the question do you believe the polls we have good reason to do so should voters trust the polls and if you don't trust the folks will you trust the outcome of the election. and again the u.s. has caused confusion with its mixed messages about the ongoing presence of troops

in afghanistan it's off to officials linked a known promised reduction to conditions on the ground a father statement by the nato chief also failed to offer any car on the situation . we went into afghanistan together we will adjust together and when the time is drawing to when the conditions are met we will leave together in the but according to an orderly way security around $12000.00 nato personnel are still deployed in afghanistan in support of its mission that while the u.s. which sent in forces in 2001 as of july has got 8600 soldiers in situ this is all part of the trumpet ministrations pledge of a total pullout by the spring of 2021 in the meantime the violence in conflict torn afghanistan shows no signs of abating former british soldier joe clinton troubled that twin festa gate a series of civilian killings according to the human rights watch these were committed by cia backed paramilitaries here's

a snapshot of his report you can catch it in full on the red fish platform you tube channel. so i'm back in afghanistan to find out the story behind the headlines crimes record levels of civilian deaths and the story of the 0 you know shadowy cia factbook death squads killing people in the us to come crashing into your house pointing and there's. been you know you're separating people there kill you or they take the 0 units arrived at the house of abraham and hajis nephews they interrogated them for several hours then they shot the weapon drops where in weapons would be placed on bodies to frame them as terrorists extra judicial killings the use of pictures pictures of dead bodies for propaganda when will you be referring the 0 units to the international criminal court because these look to me like war crimes. in one word if i could see it it must change the current

situation that is not acceptable for us they had extensive documentation of their operations in the weapons caches kills and arrests for the local people there to support killers that are going there in killing innocent people and the official line is that they are under the gun control the cia essentially controls it all. they fund it but they also control it they also hand out the operations this war is less accountable than ever what was once the job of u.k. and u.s. special forces is now being carried out by these so-called 0 units and the fact they're funded by the cia they have no accountability to either the u.s. or afghan government. and finally secrets have vandals are striking museums across the german capital and

it's given rise to a lot of speculation as to who could be responsible but some players even including so-called global elite say to us obviously to all of the tries to bring the pieces of this puzzle together. the pergamon museum in berlin is home to some of the most of visited antiquities in the german capital the architectural collection from the ancient world is a particular draw the market gates of militarists ishtar gate the aleppo room bring in terrorists from around the world but the per game on along with the new museum and the old national gallery happy vandalised it happened at the beginning of this month but details of only a merge now. authorities

are trying to establish what's happened. if you look at the objects that have been damaged there's no immediate connection between them it's not just naked bodies where you say ok someone has protested against nudity the police have been asking is there is seen no there is no theme there is no recognizable patton we don't know the truth to get but there is speculation swirling in the german media that supporters of a far right conspiracy theorist could be to blame attila held them in celebrity chef turned anti semitic q and norm supporter hasn't been officially linked to the damage done in the museums but he has been one of the most vocal proponents of theories that global elites and not only using sites like the peg i'm on for the ferry as it's but also behind the spirit of the coronavirus and his followers claim the program on which the museum was built a house in the early 20th century is being used for global see it in islam it's

important to understand that the pergamon altar was located in the city of pokémon where christians were persecuted and killed jesus says in revelation 212 to 13 i know where you live where satan has his throne as well. as being a public health disaster the coronavirus pandemic has also provided 1st time around for some of the most outlandish conspiracy theories ever from 5 g. being behind the virus to vaccines being linked to microchips being implanted in people and now this was ever turns out to be the truth behind the museum fundal ism it's for sure this corona conspiracies of going far beyond harmless for peter all of a. model for the south for myself the whole team here at odds h.q. thank you for watching have a great day. americans

love by and. this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country at large understood the bargain you get a hope and then you know rebel right as the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. be really interesting to dial it back and think about the longer deeper history what housings meant in the united states not just that old question of the american dream but the bigger question of who the dream is for . you know when i'm going to be at their school i don't think about it at all many of us at home and not near our bar. i kind of were on the. back and i

think now i think it's have enough. members of the african mafias them safe and quick passage to europe but once they. leave they are leave they cult speech. will not some of them leave be a mom and i couldn't you know if this unit were going to that it meant. they sold the. concord of the united. because the.

secret prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however even the most prosperous can be deceived we've been told there were 2 view houses were allowed to leave prison was located and only people had access to the story to investigators sure hell they uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. you graded no. thank for justice.

welcome to the alex semin show from richmond in london and to the 1st of 2 special programs marking black history month the concept of black history month can trace its roots back to 1920 s. an america where it was expanded and gave official recognition and the 1970 s. it has been celebrated in the u.k. since 1907 and the month of october this year to think of an additional impetus to the surge in support for the black light my commitment following the slaying of george floyd and minneapolis in me the focus is here as ever has been on key historical figures such as martin luther king and frederick douglass or on discussions and examination and said he couldn't they feel it just. however the forgotten heroes black men and women whose achievements have been over written i took history today for a fresh remark invite history month will tell a story of one such man a footballer and captain of his country we consult the finder of the scottish

football museum and one of england's greatest player is john vines. here in richmond cemetery seems an unlikely last resting place for the most successful captain of scotland in football history for this is the grave of the man who led to this country 61 3rd acting of the old eddie of england on their home ground still the heaviest total defeat in the history of the 3 lions we tell a largely forgotten story of a footballer who was as influential in the 19th century as pelley was to the 20th the year was $80.00 to $81.00 and his name was on 2 boards and today we do our bit to rebalance history and to examine the remarkable tale of the world's 1st black international footballer for this man should knight take his rightful place in a scottish football poncy and alongside told me walker jim baxter denis law and kenny dalglish but 1st over to our.
