12:02 pm
were wrong the didn't know they didn't care and became a frenzy of stopping calls like 980 says at all costs and those costs are massive and what's happened here is that the argument is undeniable a lot of downs are killing people this is a very controversial fellow his views are controversial he has a lot of power has a lot of enemies in the united states and what happened when his opponents and we can call them that because this is largely the criticisms logic coming from c.n.n. . they went absolutely nuts saying how can they appear now on the eve of the elections on a russian propaganda channel senior white house official tells me dr scott atlas did not have approved from the white house before going to see adler's did it on his own without seeking approval from white house senior aides have raised concerns that that was would it be on the russian outlet the scots at least is having an
12:03 pm
interesting week here he is on the russian propaganda network occy which casually opens the segment with some facts about u.s. imperialism when he was of an interview with russian propagandists talk to school to the supporters and radiologist who has the president's ear spitefully sub tweets dr anthony fauci an actual expert on infectious diseases you know there was never this sort of outrage when adam schiff or other democrat functionaries officials appeared about t. to talk about you know various topics regarding bad demick the economy foreign relations and suddenly you know when this guy trump of trump follow a close adviser of trump appears and r.t. all hell breaks loose we've got a bear in mind. election and everybody should to squeeze every little bit of a. advantage that they can out of the situation they managed to successfully you know to get him to back down and apologize for a reason you didn't interview with a c m was on
12:04 pm
a with their registered foreign agent i regret doing the interview and apologize for a loan whistle to be taken advantage of well especially apologize to the national security community who's working hard to defend us this was a tough interview tough and rough there's no mollycoddling no frills about it these were challenging questions his views as i said very controversial avoid in the he's against the locked out he's against shutdowns economic restrictions he wants the economy wide open he says that the damage from from a shut down economy will be of a bigger than from you know even the economy. so his views were challenged by action without you know that the democrat leaning mainstream media says it's corona virus that could spell the end of the trump presidency and i think there's a gross distortion that is certainly. not. the risks to younger people is extremely low the university of washington study that says there will be 500000 dead by february kind of contradicting the your your
12:05 pm
lack of correlation between cases and deaths here the situation with covered in the united states is absolutely catastrophic the highest number of infected in the world it enormous enormous damage to the economy the social fabric of the united states and this is something i put together a report on on how these elections aren't so much about the economy and so much about foreign policy there now more than anything else about the pandemic 2020 was going to be trump's year stock markets breaking records the highest employment rate in a decade and he'd finally absolve themselves of any ties to russia it was going so well nobody you know except one country can be held accountable for what have. up and it was easy america's achilles heel the health care system paid health care where people can be billed hundreds of thousands of dollars for
12:06 pm
hospitalization and we're talking here about a pandemic this was a system wide collapse they couldn't even agree on how to count the dead and he said we're in deep the world is and we need. it was failing from the get go while much of the world hunkered down shut borders went into quarantine the us to stew ignored the virus and just one of the flu officials said had officials urged people to potentially sacrifice their lives so the economy could keep running let's get back to work let's get back to living let's be smart about it and those of us who are 70 plus what will take care of ourselves but don't sacrifice the country reality hit whom haad what emergency ward cartoons were lined with beds when hospitals had to pack bodies into freezer trucks because the morgues were full worse and worse and worse until even trump thayil this is
12:07 pm
opponents his opponents saw the pandemic saw all the mistakes as a miracle but a tremendous opportunity we're just so lucky we have to use it well that is god's gift to the last. instead of uniting america the pandemic divided there were protest against everything for mosques against mosques for shut down again shut down for trump against trump against china against democrats now the democrats are politicizing the coronavirus you know. they're politicizing it we did one of the great jobs you see house preserve from doing to go. he's given up he's couldn't you couldn't your family couldn't america of course the democrats didn't do any better look at new york
12:08 pm
which ranks 10th in the world by hoover deaths among countries as many as in all of france or in all of spain whatever they now say however better they claim they could have handled this pandemic they didn't good news in the sense that it may not be as serious an illness in the vast majority of people that that's something that we'd want to see we have heard a lot about the coronavirus spread after an emergency room doctor and he or she will tell you that it's the common flu that's concerning them if they are positive and they didn't know they were positive they're found by surveillance that means that they weren't that sick the vast majority of people aren't going to get sick from this and this nonsense has continued for the whole year states shutting down and reopening based not on infection statistics but political affiliation a week of arguing between the reds and the blues about stimulus about relief for ordinary folk they even managed to politicize the one thing that will end this the
12:09 pm
vaccine. are already in the final stage. joe budden vaccine. fear is putting a little. literally doing it for political reasons it's very foolish if the doctors tell us that we should take it i'll be the 1st in line to take it absolutely but if donald trump tells us i said to take it i'm not taking it is a spectacle of absurdity the coosa to the election we got the more ridiculous it became they were arguing not about who to vote for her but about how to do the actual voting democrats people to malin their votes while republicans are in their boots to go vote in person. you're getting tired of the. you know. if you're going to see if you saw the cover children jobs agenda mcdonald's or coverage of the town you know why the judge
12:10 pm
a judge everybody out of voting people aren't buying it see if. i did what could only be described as monumental acts of duplicity and hypocrisy they would warrant each other but also politicize the pad demick the same people that brought you all of these the bungled response the in a named silts and accusations had the gall to say this this is become a political thing and that's sort of crazy that it's become a political thing this is not a time to score political points through baseless commentary it is a time for facts unfortunately it's become very clear the democrats are more interested in keeping the coronavirus as a political issue than actually fighting the virus we all know about the memes about 2020 what a catastrophe it's been and it has but no matter who wins this election no matter how they win they will inherit a country riddled with division and infection
12:11 pm
a population seeking tod of politicians and duplicity for many this isn't an election about picking the better president it's an election about making sure that the other guy loses. let's cross life keep passing of interest afshin rattansi is how you stop going underground on our to your of course the man who interviewed scott atlas i mean pretty much every major u.s. network paper they brought up this story and they all the headlines got out must speak to propaganda network are you surprised that it got quite the response that it. i think in these arguably mccarthy times we should expect that when journalists from countries other than the united states broadcast information that are helpful is helpful could be helpful to united states citizens we should expect this kind of press opprobrium from the so-called liberal mainstream media he did make every newspaper in the world i think this interview we have an even better
12:12 pm
interview hopefully i can tell you it is on going underground special on tuesday on u.s. election day which will no doubt rile the m.s.m. we see c.n.n. and we see cohorts a great deal but fundamentally here this is a 1st amendment issue i think even though. he has to register under this foreign agents registration act which the name agent is probably probably hoodwinking a good few liberal journalists in the united states it doesn't mean we're all spies who were killed and the people have agents that doesn't mean they're spies so it's a sad day i think especially given the corona virus has killed hundreds of thousands of people all around the world the highest death toll in the united states and all we were doing was giving the chance of some of the white house coronavirus task force to speak and i think he enjoyed the interview and he said it
12:13 pm
was a good interview because he was allowed to speak which is what our tea tray and enable our interviewees to do albeit with questioning and i think if anyone watches the interview they'll see we did question him those got out of tried to get out of it in quite an interesting way he said that actually he didn't know what he was he was taken advantage of actually taking advantage of them is that really what happened i mean your team must have been in communication he must have known what he was signing up for absolutely and it was it was disappointing i think that he said he was taken advantage of how was he taken advantage of when he was allowed to say. tease audience and that audience reach is hundreds of millions of people all around the world we are the 1st station to hit a 1000000000 we've made records in terms of you tube view numbers we won awards i mean it's unbelievable he didn't quite get it and of course in doing so he in
12:14 pm
a will those who are hate him and dislike his scientific views to be attacked on all grounds how can he actually be a proper doctor if he doesn't know what he stood for and what the ownership. was about and who funded it so i don't know why he did that i was very disappointing but the important thing here is these are networks c n n m s n b c so wrong i think to be saying that were a propaganda network when no one from the kremlin told me anything about what to do in this interview they never tell us what to do on going underground. the idea that all these networks can call straight on that rather than what's in the interview which affects the lives of hundreds of millions of americans wow what a day for journalism in the united states we're talking about what's actually in the interview i want to say we spoke earlier to a guest on the show who was saying that unless it's really been boycotted by so
12:15 pm
much of the mainstream media he says that lockdowns killed that wearing moss doesn't walk why do you think maybe how did it come from the conversation why do you think media is so hostile to that people even when expressed by scientists and doctors. well in the nato nations it has become very polarized as to how to combat this virus instead of arguably just following the example of the communist government of china little known of vietnam countries that have been remarkably successful in combating coronavirus major nations want to do it their own way and of spectacularly failed arguably now that could be for over a year of different reasons could be the weather who knows loads of different reasons but the politicization of coronavirus policy has been very damaging in democracies of nato countries arguably because it is these countries that have been affected worst in terms of death numbers in terms of case numbers so there's
12:16 pm
something very tragic about this politicization of science in this way which after all is supposed to be disinterested looking for evidence and trying to work out the best way forward and finally i just want to ask you i mean we talked about how this is being picked up by so many people do you think that ironically it's actually fight the message that atlas was trying to put out there a kind of went against everything the media was trying to do which was essentially kind of quieten him. well of course we have a b.b.c. here which is state mandated they seem to be able to do interviews with people in the white house and no problem there even though it's not a us organization they have been quite keen not to publicize our interview i think there are a few journalists in the so-called mainstream media known for amplifying cases of for war by nato countries arguably illegal wars those are those rather clever
12:17 pm
personnel in these organizations may have realized that they have amplify about the name going underground and the name r.t. all around the earth is absent talent a host of going underground and as we had that will be an interesting cast on going underground on tuesday got lots of action but he said you joined him. thank you. on the phone on off to months of relative normality countries across europe are going back into knockdown following the saga and corona virus infections case numbers have doubled in the past 5 weeks to reach 10000000 and this time around the containment match is a big match with strong public resistance. we've
12:18 pm
seen that demonstrations taking place across europe against measures that are being put in place to try and stop the spread of covert 19 europe 10 percent of the world's population 22 percent roughly of the world's kovac 19 infections here in germany where i'm speaking to you from we've just entered into what's been called lockdown light from one day until a miracle said she wants to try and get infections of covert 19 down by around 75 percent in germany and the way that they're going about doing that is trying to keep open as many schools kindergartens and elements of business as possible at the expense of social contact so it's the it is bars restaurants beauty salons james
12:19 pm
that are paying the price they're the ones that are going to be shutting down in the attempt to do this however in bringing in these measures some politicians here in germany were caught breaking them already. the focus should now be on protecting the population and at such time when we had to mining so much from people politicians need to set an example.
12:20 pm
well the covert 19 measures that have come into place here in germany mean that bars and restaurants will have to close for normal business they will be allowed to carry out operations to take out well new covert 19 measures are being put in place across europe in france we saw them enter into a really strict new lockdown where pretty much all of the same measures that were in place in the spring up back in force similar measures taking effect in belgium on saturday night the british prime minister boris johnson announced that the u.k. will reenter a month long lockdown from thursday number of all the countryside the introducing new measures are expected to introduce new measures over the coming weeks or one country that has seen a big rise in the number of cases is russia 18665 new confirmed infections of covert 19 on sunday the number of dead in the country
12:21 pm
has now passed the 28000 mark there are no signs of a new full lockdown coming into place in russia however over 60 five's have been told. to stay at home as much as possible those in the out risk category we know the virus attacks those who are. although much harder than it does the young but when it comes to things like night life in cities like moscow remains open miss it is so beyond in the russian with the mayor of the russian capital is said that the q.r. code system that's being used to allow people into bars and nightclubs will continue but it may be under review should cases continue to rise we have from journalist an economist paul and he believes that some countries really need to rethink their priorities when dealing with this pandemic. as an economist i look at trade offs and to be honest measures taken in most of europe like the lockdowns do seem too much focused on trying to avoid infections at all costs rather than trying to find
12:22 pm
a balance between debt and other goals such as keeping you going to live in poverty and maintaining individual liberties so i understand it's difficult for any government right now to take the right decisions but it seems too much could i think and towards trying to avoid infections in europe yeah we will most likely see civil unrest in crete over the next few months because of the lockdowns it will be a harsh winter everyone hoped after 1st along with the relatively mild summer that the worst was over but now we started the new episode off of another lockdown and god knows how long this will take so what will be very challenging for the rest of the year and also early next year for know is if you look at the polls in holland most people still support the law and the strict measures but of course when we see the unemployment gross we see we're bankruptcies there will probably be a point where people say ok no more and that's something you really seems trees are forcing the only increase as long as we we don't find
12:23 pm
a way to to to live or deal with with the virus. on anything on a gunman have stormed the largest university in afghanistan killing 1000 people mostly students on entering 22 more a group of militants and to kabul university on monday while a book that was taking place attended by the arabian ambassador there can fire with assault rifles not lead to a 5 hour gun battle with security forces and which all 3 attackers were killed so far no group has claimed responsibility and the taliban has denied involvement. finally the french president has infuriated many who had the most from wild with his clampdown on radical islam following a wave of terrorist attacks and it sparked a war of words with turkey. if i suspect he said look i understand and respect that people might be shocked by the caricature was but i will never accept that someone
12:24 pm
can justify physical violence because of them i will always defend my country's freedom to speak to right think and draw the. so you there we see the countries that teach the world about human rights and democracy take on the phobia and is in a phobia a fight needs to be put up against and to move them sentiment today just as a battle was waged against and to some it is more in the wake of the holocaust. along with touchy muslim nations including pakistan a banket ash have called for a boycott of french products there have been major rallies in those countries and also in yemen the french satellite now this comes after the french government shut down muslim age groups on a major mosque following a series of stoppings and shootings.
12:25 pm
we are at war against terrorism terrorism can always strike there is no 0 risk and the state is doing its utmost to protect the french people passing it on the french demand justice we want these people to be deported to their country or legs that we are in a country that has witnessed atrocities great teachers being beheaded priests having less throats slit people are beheaded in a church that's not france and even if we take in all possible security measures peter's been able to come in with a knife to do his deadly deed 0 risk does not exist. there are i think 40000 churches in france we could put a 1000000 and
12:26 pm
a half soldiers there but that would not change the problem we can take someone who wants to kill someone else many countries especially in the middle east have taken measures against terrorists for knife attacks. well hair on our t. we discuss the us in conflict with a few of august. the president a french president was very right to confirm that we stand for a secular state and for the freedom of speech in the secular state of france religion is seen as an opinion we need to address radical islam in france and we are in a war against radical islam and i don't think mr micro is going far enough you can never justify terrorism or violence of any sort so what is the issue with the president micro on his war in islam is that is the terminology that he's adopted which is and then the urges in which he tarnishes every single stem and holds
12:27 pm
muslims responsible for the action of a small minority of terrorists nothing i actually heard from crum is really attacking islam and moderate muslims in france what what i think he's trying to do is say look we have a country here we have laws and regulations that we've built up over centuries and this is how this country works and actually goes extremists who have a completely different view of how they want life to be and maybe separate into their own type of society then france is probably not for them we need to deport foreigners who preach islam on our grounds we have radical in mom's preaching. against islam or telegrams what you mean by what i mean by that is by hate speech is against the western way of living against a securely way of living and we have men not shaking women's hands we have most preaching for separate swimming 0 is we have young girls going being told to put on
12:28 pm
the veil this is not what we think it is certainly the pen. it is a lot is there nothing to take place that's stop tonight is to be and talking about you know what you talking about you just sound like as if you're talking from the national fruit and here gender of the far right we as muslims recognize we have a problem there. people want some it's i said this there's a problem with people who are involved in terrorism he want to bring people decent people who are against terrorism come together let's do that but just do away with this rhetoric that we're hearing tonight mr shafiq you oughta know that many mosques in france are preaching and saying that the laws of the of the qur'an are superior to the loss of france which nice please no i have no answer for you and i don't love you oh that's your father francis crick what about your colleagues in the far right what about the colleagues in the far right not a single word about the far right neo nazis far right extremists or which is
12:29 pm
totally out of kilter kaberle that just shows you're just focused on demonology the whole community we all feel the same really the streets that need to be dealt with and the police are having to deal with the rise of right wing extremism but at this moment today we're talking about people being beheaded it in churches and basilicas and things of course of course france that's the issue that france is having to deal with at this moment let's be consistent let's take on the narrative of terrorists but don't do that the expense of orderly innocent muslims around the world we are poor terrorism but we also want the right you know for our boys to be heard in these countries are not free not to be attacked in the way as being tonight france is a country where all religions can peacefully live together and i live together with millions of muslims i have many muslim friends who are and lated muslims and whom i adore we can exist all together at france under the condition that our traditions and loss of secularism are respected. that's all for the moment one more on those
