would you it would be easy to say, just look at your bullshit you look as you do with going cold turkey, americans are worried that strictures will spoil their thanksgiving celebrations. i guess debate whether this debate things ought to be cancelled during these current god lines. or there are more show left thanksgiving in your life like a pro was out in the mergence the algorithm to deal with misinformation in the wake of us election. critics say that the platform is giving preference to content that supports joe biden. and the world of football pages saying the argentinian icon, the died at the age of 16,

argentina has declared 3 days more than i never thought they would come. my 1st goal might be the whole world has to be donor to the whole world. crisis for margot, but also to come the u.k. government is accused of having an orwellian here that is screaming and struggling request the freedom of information act good afternoon. just gone. 3 o'clock in moscow, you with r.t. international. now the pandemic is casting a grim shadow over the festive season, including in the united states where the daily death rate is now higher and back in may experts to say that hospitals could be overwhelmed by christmas. and with americans celebrating thanksgiving on thursday,

president elect joe biden is asking people to limit celebrations for our families for 40. so choose for the summer. we're going to tradition, traveling over thanksgiving. this year will be on the whole jordan used for growth family traditions. but it's so very important for countries in the middle of a dramatic spike can cases where the latest polls do show that most people still intend to gather with their loved ones. though the figure has declined since, september states across the u.s., they are rolling out measures that will hamper celebration plans don't quarter explains 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 $10.00 to $14.00 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, 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 to 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

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 hahn 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't 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 that a great post-election conversations, the stress of a hectic year and contentious presidential election could still cause dina's to to intense with all these new rules and restrictions, it's likely americans will have little more than their safety to be thankful for this year. a professor of psychology and also media specialist, cameron thomas discussed whether people should be free to celebrate the holiday as they place. 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. 'd

and i thank our culture, you know, culture is very on a lot of dimensions. united states is known as was a very loose culture. and some americans feel that their own referendum is being 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 groups and courage to sort of make their own rules and force their own paths and life. hey, i'm very tired of it. 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 compromised. 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 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 intramural health

. and i feel like thanksgiving is really just, just like a really strict us example of a particular problem. and i football fans around the world are mourning the death of legend, diego maradona. the argentinian died of a heart attack at the age of 60, a famous for his outstanding ability on the failed. he was also infamous for his antics and troubles off it. but he will be remembered as one of the all time greats, and will be missed by fans all over the world, including here in moscow as dan hawkins. now reports the story of their good morrow dawn is more than one of just a footballer. it's the story of a true global legend. a footballing superstar tributes have been coming in from key figures in the football world, from pele to messi and back home. but more importantly from fans, of course, have been united across the world in a paying tribute to their idol, turning out to numbers in stadiums and embassies. and here in moscow,

we've seen that happening as well. people turning out at the argentinean embassy to lay flowers, wreaths, and flags, and really say thank you to the model for be giving them so many emotions over the years. in fact, the flag here at the argentinian embassy has been lowered to half mast as 3 days of mourning on out in argentina to pay tribute to the country's best ever football player. now, maradona's career really capsulated everything from the sublime on the astonishing to the crazy and absurd off the pitch. she scored over 300 goals in his career, but really his personality, his character was in capsulated in that famous quarter final of 96. when he scored that goal, the gates thing learned a double 8 at the hand of god and minutes later scored a fantastic individual effort. the gold voted the best goal of the century. he really made that number 10 position whose only combined everything,

acceleration, speed, ball control creativity. and he took that beautiful style of play across borders, travelling from argentina, playing in europe for club such as possible in a seville and not pulling in particular where he won the adoration of fans as well as many trophies. he was also not sure of controversy. well documented issues with drug abuse and alcohol abuse, allegations of links to the mafia, extramarital affairs, even a suspended prison sentence. you really could not write a script that would have kept so to all the drama of diego maradona's life, all off the pitch. and it was that personality, that charisma which won him so many funds across the world over the years. i never thought this day would come my 1st time, at least gone beyond idle. he's the greatest of all the most of football. the one who gave the savory thing. when i heard about it, i died with him. that's what happened to me. do you go, amanda maraton

a means everything. the whole world has to be married. do not today. the whole world crisis for diego, armando murdo. truly an illustrious career and it's those harlots which will remember which one him the nickname of god, though deals in spanish fans leaving that label here on the argentine to see gates here in moscow. after retiring full football, he went into madness. but where he had, fortunately enjoyed the slightly less success, most notably that culminated in his all to team being knocked out of the world cup for milk in germany, germany in 2010, speaking of all cup, but they got it all. it was one of the most colorful and charismatic visitors here to russia, back in 2018 for the world cup where he really captured the hearts and minds of files all over russia with his charisma and personality. 'd

were ok, we are very pleased to say we can get the thoughts now both nature yet for a stray and manchester united goalkeeper and sports pundit is with us right now and we appreciate it. mark, thanks for coming on. i don't know about you, but i have enjoyed hearing all the tributes that have been paid over the last few hours to marry donna. and i know you actually played against him just from your perspective. what were his qualities or good afternoon, andrew and good afternoon to everybody there in russia. in terms of qualities from

applies perspective, 1st and foremost, these mastery of all. if i may, it was 2nd to none, you know, doing things to get feet is much more difficult than doing things with your hands and knees. 2 feet were would be like our hands in terms of juggling with a tennis ball where our hands, he could do exactly the same with his feet. couple that with one for balance. and a superb idea of where everyone else is, including himself, say on the puck and that wonderful ability to go past the player 5 to 10 made. it made him pretty much the complete player. and i never played with him. but speaking to people who know him over here and a strain that played brought, they all said number one that he wore his heart on the sleeve that he was fantastic as a man that whatever, having complaints about him. and i think he touched so many people all around the world. you've seen this great outpouring of emotion. and i think that's the reason you have to probably have to look at it is to why? because a lot of people could empathize with him. you know,

he came from rags if you like, through to riches and encapsulated so much. what is great about our game, you mention plays them are a member of the fan when i 1st saw merit on our i was in shock at how good he was, where plays in awe. so you can marathoner sort of came on to the saying, i think a lot and a lot in the past had, there's no doubt about that. it happens with great players and look at it doesn't matter what vocation you're in, where being in, you know, in you and your job, what you do or whatever. what if anyone never does, they always want to play a full interview or all you know, pick themselves against the best. and he definitely was that the very, very best. so they would have been so much of that when he played against teams and i was just thinking back to the time that we played them in 9093. and i remember our late manager tiny ground saying to one of our players, you know, i want you to follow the whole game. remember thinking to myself back that i want

to have many times that happens in the opposition's dressing room. when they come up against diego maradona, they said somebody, look, i want you to track him. i don't want you to give him any space and i would have been week in week out and that was back in 9093 when he was probably in the twilight of his career. but he was still is still a real force. and that would have been going on for quite some time, but the fact that he actually did what he did as well back then when the pitches weren't as manicured as they are now, they're all like, you know, cop that. and also, you know, the official protects attacking players, like the i got was more than they used to back then. he did it back then when, when there wasn't any of those things and, and for that alone, you do realize that he was like a sieve for me. without me, you always have to all would say, and understandably so many who tell a alongside him. i never watched pele live but being told that he was absolutely amazing. obviously seen him on t.v.

and so far he was 3 world cups for brazil. but there's no doubt whatsoever that when you're talking about the greatest players of all times, the 1st person, when you study that by would be america. and i want to tell you if it's fair, actually to try and rank came alongside, other great plays because it was the side, the different to all the plays that we say today. and we're trying ones that played the game before. well, i think he was in, in a lot of instances the style of play that he did. you could read, you know, so that he could say peach and hold it down to one particular style. he could go anywhere and do anything. and i think a lot of that actually came from the fact that he was so heavily mocked that a lot of times he would just take plays everywhere, all of the poc, even if it meant you know, this, you know, it's a detriment of the game. so you could upset the fans, the structure of the opposition saying, because for me, he was a selfless pio. you know, the office of the selfish way. he realized that, you know, being who he was that you know, he would live and die. you know,

ostensibly, how the team went and he realized that many of the if the team wins, he would always get the credit because you know, because he was wanted. but if it lost, he and the manager would be the 1st that would get the criticism. if it went the other way, and i think the fact that that he did that and he had success with the national team of argentina, but especially it nobly where, you know, if you're a football fanatic, you'd always know about nobly. but you know, he really did put them on the map for everyone else because before he went there, they never want to skin it. so, and at that time, the tellingly was by far the best league in the world and he did it twice when the league checked the skip. now if you want to call it that league championship, they won the wafer cup as well. and that achievement, you know, just coming off the back of being, you could say, true to what roughly, by the opposition when he was in spain. and all that, if you look at his record, it wasn't that bad. you know, this wasn't, it was as good as achievement as any and you know, in terms of the play,

if you're looking and you have people today who maybe didn't see much of him, that would you know that who has a look at the 2 great players they've got cristiano ronaldo and you know messi and try to compare. it's very difficult to compare them to events and it's a marathon a marathon. it was a one off. and like i said, he did things predominately, normally, always leave that for the plays president could never do. and i would you go as far to say that he has had a connection with fans that know what the player has had? i think, i think that's a, that's a very good question and i think coming back to us that originally, you know, a lot of people can empathize with him because he's so you have because of where he came from and the, you know, the ability of so many people special, those obvious time country and say that the drain that you know, if he could do that, if he could come from that place and go all this way that we could as well. and the way that, like you said, he wore his heart on the sleeve. i think he did, giving that ability to have that connection,

especially with fans of the teams that he played ball is no doubt about that. and i think even, you know, some of the, maybe he's most, you know, you could say auburn enemies if you like. while he was playing football like fans of other teams or. ringback maybe of appliances, maybe just like a date down begrudgingly in a during that time, you know, would have not known times that 1010 times out of 10 would have had him on their own same shit if they could've. but that's such is the nature of football. but that relationship you spoke about such a good question. i really do think it does come down to that such as something as simple as that. but the fact that you know, football is the people's game and people love it when they see this stossel that plays with a hot on the sleeve. and he played like that. but you leave his life like that. i came up really nice until he won, after leaving that i was not bosnich full most right here and munched. united goalkeeper and sports pundits. thanks for coming on. thank you. and you're

watching out international. going to take a quick break but back shortly. when almost seemed wrong, just don't let me get to shape out to stay active and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. how do you price value? how do you value prices that makes up an economy? we've been saying for 10 years, that was that if you used money as the underlying unit of measure,

you're going to end up disappointed and in the casino as we've been describing. and there's this happening right now. you need real money. gold is real money, but it's not really as good as big. going is the real thing again, you with 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 is trying to eradicate misinformation, but one knock on effect does appear to be giving a preference to content that is pro joe biden. a week after the election. some facebook is referring to the algorithm as a nice and news feed reporter he spoke about the possibility of it becoming

a permanent feature he wanted on all of examines ny. whether nice means the saying as more honest 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. 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 up 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 are 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've 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, 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, publishes 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 loathing joe biden doesn't seem to have a problem hiring from their roster. 'd 'd 'd biden's deputy communications director also seems to have had a change of heart and deleted tweets, giving facebook a dressing down executive roles. 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 would 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 ok docs when i or people know thing 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 a warm up for a return to big pharma, a return to all these industries that love the democrats love globalization, and they got their man and with joe biden. previously, 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. now the architect behind the freedom of information act is calling for a probe into what a new report is described as an orwellian unit. within the government, this is accused of intentionally obstructing the release of potentially sensitive data. a partridge as more. a storm is brewing in the u.k. about freedom of information within government. a new report by open democracy describes a so-called all. well, you know, it's called the clearing house, 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 complain as the requests they have submitted and advice on how

referring to pardons should respond fast 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 author. it is a check. but according to this reports, the cabinet now rejects more requests than ever. the government was trying to keep it under wraps of this year's existed and investigation has led to the conclusion that it does exist. and obviously there are lots of questions to be asked about what he's supposed to be doing under water the, you know, why it was such a lot. freedom of information act was passed 20 years ago. and in theory, when people make applications in traditional or government, it's supposed to be neutral, who's applying the not supposed to care who's asking for it. but what this unit is doing is it's collating all of the requests and the ones which are serious, the ones which are going to uncover. but potentially government malfeasance,

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 good. actually got 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 labor peer lord clarke of when dimia was instrumental in the act becoming a 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 letter to 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 cabinet office is interfering in f y requests and seeking to work around their requirements of the act by blacklisting join. they say it is

a grave threat to our values and transparency in our democracy. yes, 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 know eve, foolish, irresponsible nincompoop. there is really no description of stupidity no matter how vivid it 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. he tried this in, stayed in handing him a mallet. now it seems, boris johnson's government is also trying to put the lid back on a pandora's box that the british public are legally entitled to open. a partridge party loved their moscow. she's coming up to half past 3 in the afternoon. thanks for watching. we'll have more of

a topic greetings and sell you take since u.s. president donald trump spent taoistic a devastating loss, the former vice president joe biden all the way back on what feels like ages ago in november. the 3rd of our brand name in chief has been running a sort of scorched earth transition policy from outright denying his defeat in a half brained attempt to muddy the upcoming electoral college vote on december 14th to his randomly purpose firings of pentagon and homeland security officials. who just happen to disagree with them about the election from buzz had the news media's and political punditry is fawaz outrage, machine running on full time when it's on a full tank of gas $27.00 ratings, clicks and pearl clutching his gold.
