oh, look, you would suggest that this facebook rolls out an emergency algorithm to deal with misinformation in the wake of the u.s. election critics preference to that supports. meanwhile, the u.k. government's accused of having screening and obstructing requests, and the freedom of information has passed the way the age of 60 3 days of more to come my 1st time. the whole world has to be
1:01 am
today. the whole world price for it go cold turkey americans are worried covert restrictions will spoil their thanksgiving celebration. good morning to you. this is our international facebook has made what it calls a temporary emergency change to its algorithm in response to the u.s. election. the network says it's trying to eradicate misinformation, but one knock on effect appears to be giving a preference to content that's pro joe biden election fraud 2 words, you would never associate with the united states of america. now a phrase that could send fists flying in the country allegations of cheating have also outgrown the issue of a vote recount,
1:02 am
as some republicans claim they've been called and elsewhere too on social media. you know, the people that, that i hear from, of course, believe that conservatives were wrongfully being silenced, while those on the left that were given basically a free rein of your platforms. and one of the points of contention that is often brought is that you do recruit, have a leave from california, which leads to your employee base skewing quite heavily to the left. at 1st glance, the allegations that facebook's nonpartisan algorithms have been tweaked to give biden an upper hand don't seem too old after all, biden, and his team have been rather unflattering towards the platform to say the least. i have never been a big fan of facebook as you probably know. i've never been a big zuckerberg fan, but the latest report suggests that this could all be smoke and mirrors,
1:03 am
and that facebook is already buttering up the new white house landlord from promoting content which rubber stamps joe biden's talking points to secretly screwing the traffic for publications by non-mainstream and pro republican outlets, it resulted in a spike in visibility for big mainstream publishers like c.n.n. the new york times and national public radio, while posts from highly engaged hyper partisan pages such as breitbart and occupy democrats became less visible. facebook denies any bias explaining its strives to achieve balance to the best of its ability, but some actions speak louder, suggesting a mutual affection. the supposedly facebook loving joe biden doesn't seem to have a problem hiring from their roster. biden's deputy communications director of also seems to have had a change of heart and deleted tweets, giving facebook
1:04 am
a dressing down big check, a jewel's, he had permission this country. they control who sees what they censor. conservative news, big tech. it's been working towards this for 4 years, and it will be bored to ensure that joe biden wins their party is the democrat party. and so of course, joe biden is going to be stacking his transition team with members of the silicon valley cobol. so of course, you're going to see former c.e.o.'s from facebook from, from other technology companies. they are, these are joe biden. people big tax is for the democrats and look what we've got coming up now. we've got 4 years of the media, which is going to be puppy dogs. and when i hear people nothing to criticize here, we're already gearing up in this country for a return to the swamp. as we call it a return to normalcy. return to warmongering, a return to big pharma, a return to all these industries that love the democrats that love globalization, and they got their man in which with joe biden. previously,
1:05 am
facebook has repeatedly found itself in hot water with the u.s. authorities. it seems this time the giant has finally learned its lesson and is preemptively raising the hand that could very soon be feeding it. ok, let's turn our attention to the united kingdom now where the hulk attacked behind the freedom of information act is calling for a probe into what are new reports described as an orwellian unit. within the government. it's accused of intentionally obstructing the release of potentially sensitive data. ok part it explains. a storm is brewing in the u.k. about freedom of information with a new government. a new report by open democracy describes a so-called all well, you know, it's called the clearinghouse that obstructs media requests and even blacklist journalists clearing house shares with a range of whitehall departments. a daily update containing the names of journalists and complainants, the requests they have submitted and advice on how referring to pardons should
1:06 am
respond. the clearinghouse has also reviewed drafts and signed off on departmental responses to freedom of information requests passed in the year 2000. the freedom of information act was meant to open up the workings of government requests for information were supposed to remain anonymous or applicants lines. and in theory could help keep the authorities in check. but according to this report, the cabinet now rejects more requests than ever. the government was trying to keep it under wraps at this year's existed. and investigation has led to the conclusion that it does exist. obviously, there are lots of questions to be asked about what is supposed to be doing under water the, you know, why it was set up. freedom of information act was passed 20 years ago. and in theory, when people make applications, or international or government, it's supposed to be neutral, who is applying the not supposed to care who's asking for it. but what this unit is
1:07 am
doing is it's collating all of the requests. and the what the ones which are serious, the ones which are going to uncover. but potentially government malfeasance are being referred to this unit. which is being kept secret, but it's actually under the cap in the cabinet office being run. boy, michael, go actually go aspirations to being prime minister, as we all know. number 10 says the consideration of foia requests remains applicant and motive behind. and the clearing house unit remains fully compliant. but there is growing criticism within westminster lay here. lord clarke of winter, mia was instrumental in the acts becoming law and is now calling for a government investigation into the controversial unit along with politicians across the spectrum. this clearing house is certainly against the spirit of that act, and probably the latter 2 ministers should explain to the house of commons precisely why they continue with this set up in view of the fact that it is contradictory to the whole purpose of freedom of information this is extremely troubling if the
1:08 am
cabinet office is interfering in f. or i requests and seeking to work around their requirements of the act by a blacklist enjoying this, it is a grave threat to our values and transparency in our democracy. yet this storm over the law has been brewing since it was past 20 years ago, under tony blair's government. after the then prime minister discovered that governments couldn't discuss any issues with a reasonable level of confidentiality. and freedom of information was mainly used by journalists. he cursed himself, you idiot, you naive, foolish, irresponsible nincompoop. there is really no description of stupidity no matter how vivid that is adequate. i quake in the imbecility of it. for political leaders, it's like saying to someone who's hitting you over the head with a stick. try this instead, and handing him a mallet. now it seems, boris johnson's government is also trying to put the lid back on the pandora's box, that the british public are legally entitled to open. a partridge party loved

football fans around the world are mourning the death of football legend, diego maradona their origin tinian, died of a heart attack. at the age of 60, he was famous for his outstanding playing ability and his colorful character, both on and off the field near teles if they don't help win the league for the 1st time in their history. people gathered in the streets to mark his passing of plans were announced to rename the local stadium in his honor. in argentina itself, people have been paying their respects. the country's president has declared 3 days of national mourning as more people in buenos aires had to say, as i live with this day would come my 1st or at least gone. he's the greatest of all the masters of football. the one who gave this everything. do you go, amanda maraton? the means everything the whole world has to marry do now today,
1:10 am
the whole world price for it. you know, for someone to come and tell me that's all i. that's all i ask. diego marriage, daughter was hero, to many a villain to some devil that played football like an angel. he will be sadly missed as a character. but he certainly lived a life 60 years old. he fit more into those 60 years than most people would do in a 100 lifetimes. diego marriage daughter was he wrote many a villain to some devil that played football like an angel. he will be sadly missed as a character. but he certainly lived a life 60 years old. he fit more into those 60 years than most people would do in a 100 lifetimes. he started his football in korea at home in argentina, but it was in europe that he really stormed to the scene in 1982. he signed for barcelona for a day and world record holder fee of just over 7 and
1:11 am
a half $1000000.00. he spent a short time with the catalan giants his time. there was marred by fights on the pitch off the pitch with the club's management, with the club's owners hierarchy directors, anybody who he could fight with. he pretty much did. he did win 2 trophies while he was there as well. but he later moved on to the now fully italy where put a get a world record for this time, for just over $10000000.00. that 1986 to $87.00 season, he pretty much won the italian in league for napoli by himself. internationally though he is argentina's favorite son, and i'm including messi, of course, the current incumbent of that number 10 shirt. i think it's fair to say, particularly on this day, everybody's thoughts are going towards diego maradona when it comes to who is that greatest? argentine number 10, his international career, came to an end in 1900 for the world cup in the united states, where, under
1:12 am
a cloud of some sort see tested positive for a performance enhancing drug and was sent home into scrapes. he maintained up until the day he died, that it was, it was taken by accident that it was something that was in a supplement that was different in the united states than it was in argentina. births. he did have his problems with substance abuse from the 1980s. he struggled with cocaine addiction, also troubles with alcohol. you have to remember, he straddled a big change in football. at the time he started, the way to deal with him was to basically kick him and stop him from, from playing. he was able to get around that and still when he then moved into last time in the ninety's, where real professionalism came into world football in the game. start the change. what, how would he stand up against a messy or an alto in today's game? i still think diego maradona would have had the ways to beat the tributes have been of course pouring in from around the world of football. we heard from former rail
1:13 am
madrid, president calderon, who says that those who played with madonna believe that he could win matches all by himself. i saw him many matches here in spain when he worked in the league for 2 years with barcelona. it worked in the best time for him, but despite that to keep played to very, very good matches. he led to the idea that we were, we were in the very, very incredible player. and i remember none of those who was with me a real madrid, the argentine who with our coach and our play year wolf in that martin mexico with him. when he scored that goal in 86 against england, he worse he told me that he were running close to him all the time. he was asking him to pass the board. and when they were in the dressing room, the chair where he said, you know, i were really trying to pass through the ball as
1:14 am
a so many england english play. you were trying to tackle me. i would have liked to triple them. and then i found myself in front of the goal and i don't have any of the option that to score. i talked to many players that played with him and he said he could win a match by himself. and everybody knew when they were playing with him that to of the moment the were in trouble. if they gave the ball to cream, he could score, he could change completely. the fate of a match he coronavirus pandemic is casting a grim shadow over the festive season. including in america where the daily death rate is now higher than it was. banking may now expect say the hospitals could be overwhelmed by christmas. and with american, celebrating thanksgiving on thursday, president elect joe biden is asking people to limit the celebrations for our family
1:15 am
. for 40, so choose 40 some really tradition traveling over thanksgiving. but this year will be on the whole jordan used for grow family traditions, but it's so very important for countries in the middle of a dramatic spike in cases the latest polls show most people still intend to go there with loved ones, although the figure has declined since september states right across america though, rolling out measures that will how, celebration plans on the courthouse. the details thanksgiving is coming up in the u.s. and that means it's turkey time, although maybe not because 2020 is trying to find yet another way to ruin everybody's lives. there's a run on small turkeys, turkeys that are 10 to 14 pounds are in high demand right now. even if you're one of the few privileged enough to have a smaller turkey on your table this year,
1:16 am
don't get too excited. this thanksgiving is supposed to be especially dangerous, with more people staying home for thanksgiving, more americans will be cooking at home for the 1st time, and some of them are stressed and with more amateur cooks hitting the kitchen this year, one firefighter's says it could be a recipe for disaster and case that's not enough for you to stress about new york's governor. andrew cuomo, capped, the amount of people you can have to dinner at 10. i don't think you can get away with an extra straggler too. big brother cuomo was watching while cuomo didn't seem to have any problem sacrificing other people's thanksgiving day when he urged families not to gather for the celebration. he himself invited his mother and 2 daughters home for the holiday. that wasn't long before he withdrew the invitation. but many people still aren't happy about that. cuomo is
1:17 am
the worst governor in america. he's arrogance, and he pull chrissy knows no bounds. do as i say, not as i do. pennsylvania's gathering limit isn't as draco nian as new york's but the state's alcohol ban is a trip in itself. bars and restaurants have already been ordered to halt all. 'd booze sales and some people just don't understand the relation. pennsylvania bans, alcohol, oregon legalizes, hot drugs, 2020 is wild pennsylvania and just banned alcohol for one night. only before thanksgiving. what exactly are we come back to again and fire us alcoholism? freedom nights before thanksgiving has historically been the biggest algal consuming night of the year, probably in preparation for the relatives. since you can have them over this year, you would be getting drunk just for fun. oh, and it probably goes without saying political discussions at the dinner table this year might not be the best idea.
1:18 am
with all these new rules and restrictions, it's likely americans will have little more than their safety to be thankful for this year. professor of psychology, glenn, get a media specialist, come in, thomas discussed whether people should be free to celebrate the holiday as they please. it comes to, you know, personal responsibility and you know, individuals who want to protect their families. i think it's a sign that people should step aside for thanksgiving this year and stay safe. i think bret realize asian is very important. i think freedom is very important and i thank our culture, you know, cultures vary on a lot of dimensions. the united states is known as what's a very loose culture and some americans feel that their own referendum is being
1:19 am
taken away by, by these measures. but you know, your life is a fair, fair price to pay thanksgiving in your life. i don't know what i choose from what i choose. i think i choose life, but what we're seeing now is so many americans not following the guidelines and not following the rules, is partly the fact that we do live in a loose culture where people are from a very small age, very young age sort of and courage to sort of make their own rules and force their own paths and life. hey, i'm very tired and i've been isolated. you know, i haven't seen my mom since april. yeah, i'm getting tired of that. but, you know, the bottom line is that there is this ranging pandemic out there. it's sad me actually i have tears in my eyes, seeing so many people being so irresponsible, you know, human beings will follow their emotions. and so i think there's a lot of people who are like, i know this isn't the right thing to do and you know, and one sense, but darn it, i'm doing it because i feel like i have to blot of people are doing compromise,
1:20 am
were supposed to sit next to each other, you know, arm next on shoulder necks, the shoulder cutting through dying stock and warrants in concerts, conditions, and is in a lot of ways, very unnatural. and i would argue in a long term sense is very unhealthy. it's going to be the same next year. traditions are disappearing. they, you know, because traditions have been grained in the, in the american psyche been going on for, you know, hundreds of years. sacrificing one year is not going to make a difference. there's so many ways that these, you know, these current guidelines and conditions might be good from a public health standpoint and they are. but i do think that they're cutting into our emotional and social and should merely ill health. and i feel like thanksgiving is really just, just like a really strict us example of a particular problem present donald trump has pardoned his former top
1:21 am
security advisor, michael flynn, who was caught up in the federal probe into discredited claims of trump. russia collusion several years ago. kaleb openness, the story the long drawn out legal battle surrounding donald trump's former national security advisor appears to be coming to an end. michael flynn, formerly trumps national security advisor and a figure within the u.s. military had pled guilty to charges that he lied to the f.b.i. . however, the white house has issued this statement along with a full pardon for michael flynn. the president has pardoned general flynn because he should never been prosecuted and independent review of general flynn's case by the department of justice conducted by respected career professionals supports this conclusion. in fact, the department of justice has firmly concluded that the charges against general flynn should be dropped this full pardon achieve that objective? finally, bringing to an end the relentless pocs exam pursuit of an innocent man flynn his.
1:22 am
his interview from the f.b.i. stemmed from the robert mueller special counsel investigation into allegations of trumped russia. collusion. it was alleged that michael flynn essentially misled the f.b.i. about russian contacts. however, at this point, we did see previously moves from the u.s. department of justice indicating that they might be dropping charges. they said that the interview that was conducted with michael flynn was untethered and unnecessary in regards to the f.b.i.'s counterintelligence investigation. the deal, geez, not persuaded that the general 24th 2017 interview was conducted with a legitimate investigative basis. and therefore does not believe mr. flynn statements were material, even if untrue. moreover, we do not believe that the government can prove either the relevant full statements or there materiality beyond a reasonable doubt. now the judge overseeing the case tros, to continue proceedings against michael flynn,
1:23 am
despite what the department of justice said. however, at this point, the presidential pardon makes michael flynn a free man, joe biden will not be able to bring new charges against michael flynn when he takes office. now this pardon for michael flynn is just one of many pardons that have been trucked promised by donald trump as he prepares to leave office. at this point, the transition process and which the biden administration will be moving into the executive branch has already begun. i think there are they been dead again general blum previously from the obama administration to the specially as a result of unclassified recently on classified documents. it was purely a set up for general plame and one 3rd get back to gen one and 2 to hamper the the crop administration. a general one should never have been charged and he'd been given a probable, harmon parker burden and everything else. as

a result of the never about a british travel agency is giving wings to a backlash against quantas and ways. the airline announced that it would require international travelers to have a 19 vaccine. the tour operator announced that it would no longer do business with qantas if it goes ahead with its no job, no fly to mt. we feel that bodily autonomy with regard to medical intervention is a personal choice and not something to be foursomes of people by businesses. we are not and she vaccination, but we are pro-choice. there is a huge difference between coercion and making a free choice. well, no airline has previously required passengers to have an injection before boarding . some have praised the travel agency for its stance on quantas, others though side with the airline, saying it's safer to fly without antibiotics, is on board best. the migration expert and francesco reserve,
1:25 am
the professor of european law, discuss the feasibility of the no job, no fly rule. the airline has the responsibility of ensuring the safety of its passengers. and also, of course, complying with the rules and regulations of the not only the polish country, but most importantly, the destination country. really, countries do have free travel health checks which they require people to full granting them. a visa in the classic example is on to the kilo sort of things of, of that nature. i do not believe that an airline can impose of its free will. no job, no fly. i think that that would be rather foolish. this cannot simply be on the initiative of a, of the, you know, a private airline. this is, this is about public order. people are forced travel. they choose to travel. and if
1:26 am
they choose to travel, then they're going to in these difficult pandemic times comply with regulations which satisfy the airline that their safety. there is a parallel in europe, of course that i experienced this summer that knew you would not be allowed to fly on less. you were wearing face coverings. so in many ways, we know how to deal with it, except of course, asking people to engage go through an invasive procedure is slightly different than the general tendency in europe for not to make macs and nation these days anyway, compulsory if we were dealing with an airline that's had a total monopoly on all air. well, that would be a different issue, i think. but you know, people will vote with their feet if they don't like travelling on their lime charge, she makes this requirement, then it's the elements going to suffer the end of the day because it won't travel
1:27 am
on it. i actually believe that the su will only be resolved if it is dealt with at an international global, certain european and beyond level with rules that apply to everybody who wants to travel, whether it's testing or whether it's max a nation and so on. i don't actually think that a sort of piecemeal, you know, one hour line does x. and another airline does, why it is actually acceptable simply because you need to have an overall sense of control and management all of the virus and how you treat the virus counts how the world looks this thursday morning. thanks for your company. and don't forget you can check out plenty more news stories by heading to our website. we've got it all covered at r.t. dot com.

come up looking to do good on you and about that. i live in the mad at that game and the money on his i'm not bad with the internet, but oh, november could if i say rise of them, it is down to the point about nanami and it is about so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have, it's crazy sunday. shouldn't let it be an arms race. is on all sides. very dramatic development. only mostly i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical. time to sit down and talk greetings
