50 50 50 on a downward slope wrestles with whether to stand the spread of coronavirus freezing earnings solid cigs in the u.k. being held in prison like conditions at an abandoned army barracks with london trying to get. we tried to speak to those inside. why can't they speak? why would you let them speak to us? father company admits that it deliberately mishandled an addictive painkiller distribution. further deepening the crisis, we get reaction from

a mother whose son died of an overdose. you know, half a 1000000 people now and it really just really commit murder. journalists are among those injured as emotions run high in the argentinian capital, where fans are grieving for diego maradona. a very good morning to you. this is artie international winter is coming, but rather than bringing bringing division germany, italy, france. they are pushing to keep the ski resorts close to front of the pandemic. others are more concerned though about lost revenue explains it looks like it's all

downhill for europe's multi-billion. you wrote ski industry that stuff. the german chancellor angela merkel has called for all slopes and resorts the close, although she greg nies says this isn't going to sit well with neighbors, austria, we will be trying to coordinate in europe whether we could cause all ski resorts. unfortunately, considering announcements from australia. it doesn't look like we can do that so easily, but we will try again. sebastian cordes, the austrian chancellor is not onside with an e.u. ban on winter holidays. his government is already facing legal action from a consumer rights group over keeping resorts open last winter. when the popular destination of ishbel became a covert hotspot linked to cases in over $45.00 countries. despite the warnings, courts sees a blanket ban as excessive. if someone goes for on the loan at the moment,

there's just as dangerous as someone going on the ski to alone. if someone uses a ski lived that similar to using public transport over the alpine border into italy and prime minister just separate commentate says he agrees with berlin. there is a shared concern on this. we cannot in the middle of a 2nd wave of the virus, think of having a normal christmas holiday in the mountains like in previous years old, but we must absolutely avoid that. france has also said that it slopes should stay off limits until 2021. interestingly, the announcements of being that resorts will be open, but ski lifts won't be in operation. the austrians appear on likely to budge on this one though. unless brussels comes forward with financial help. if the u. does mandate that ski resorts stay closed, that means a cost of up to $2000000000.00 euro for austria. if the really wants that it has to

pay for it to the cannot force the slopes to close any restrictions would have to be part of an agreement among many of the states while playing nation. that isn't a member of the e.u. is switzerland. and if you're committed to skiing this season, well, that might just be the place for you. there slopes are already open resorts as well, and they intend to stay that way. throughout the winter. peter, all of our r.t. berlin. paolo bernadine, a professor of early modern european history, is skeptical the blog can find a solution that will please all i don't think we can go back to the major's assault because we still is not part of the european union. so they do basically what they like to do. also france of possibly european union, but they didn't find any column agreement we normally thing easily. if they opened up with a lot of people who don't do all that, we will lose

a lot of money. they will still class. i think that's possible, that's possible because it's actually we should find it or any way you want to involving this through. think about the reopening. you see that with some cold precautions like us to undergo it the rap against the recall the make sure they used to be you can find it everywhere. now invaded the region and i think about the bin because i'm all that region ventile government really down because this is a simple fact. and the sas which are free, which are slimming bodies at the farm and found on. so you think very rapid acting for 5 minutes. they tell you if you are positive or negative, then if we think you should be allowed to go skiing and to stay clear now for days and days, which is a very good thing. the u.k.

has been slammed asylum seekers in prison like conditions at an abandoned army barracks. activists want the site to be closed, saying that it floods cover drills, but the government is trying to gag them. on the shadows, dusty went to see for herself. it's like prison is like prison with one brother and 15 people like 20 people in dorm room and sleeping on the dentist and you know, for a night it's so much problem to many people now. and i have a quote on all from the film, a military base napier barracks, in folkston, in kent has recently been turned into an assessment and a special facility that houses around $400.00 of saddam seek. as all men, some of whom have made their way to the u.k. across the english channel, the government is obligated to find accommodation for asylum seekers while the claims are being processed. but the cave in 1000 pandemic has left local authorities desperate to find enough housing. having to resort to using sites like

this one in kent, those on the inside told me the conditions are far from livable. i don't feel you know what i say, but because the neighbors are very tired of this place. i threw a tear. 28, be able to have only one choice. yeah. i thought i needed the toilet. my side is very bad. if you need fix, you know, you have to go, go outside and you know it's very cold. even if we thought they would see, why are you talking? don't like that. why do you think that it so there's something wrong. well, you know could be saved if you prefer. that isn't better because you, you know, went up and, but here i don't know what happened. volunteers and medics have sounded the alarm there for the conditions. this footage shot by a resident shows cramped sleeping areas cornered off by sheets. atomium refugee himself has been bringing clothes and essential items to the camp. he says the

military environment in the barracks could trigger a trauma for those inside knowing a lot of asylum seekers. beautiful tom tom with the journey of all 16 prosecution, fien and regimes that imprisoned them false imprisoned them and told shouldn't be in place in a and just use military bags. and it's all of them in terms of these guys in and the government stands accused of trying to cover up the problem. the home office introduced a gagging clause in the form of a confidentiality waiver, centuries silencing visitors from speaking out about what they see inside the barracks. my effort to talk to people on the inside of the barracks proved futile as long as security was around. so we just arrived here at napier barracks and just as we got here, a man came out of his window and he started screaming help out. so he pointed and just ahead, we came over here and the security man prevented him. as you can see,

the security guard is still there, and it seems like he is calling for more. but why can't they speak to us on why don't you let them speak to us? if they want to speak to us, they can speak to us at the same time, i need to go to the home office maintains however, that these protocols underpinned by the official secrets act are essential. we have worked closely with our accommodation provider, clear springs, ready, holdings, and stakeholders to ensure the napier site is safe and secure. this includes an agreement to provide in silence seekers with privacy and confidentiality, as would be expected. however, those inside paid to very different picture. as more reports, a match of protests, hunger strikes, and even suicide attempts. it's unclear what the future of these and similar sites will be. but for the residents, a decision can't come soon enough. only i dream, i think we can going to be free r.t.

u.k. can't the us opioid overdoses have increased this year compared with 2019. there's been less capacity for addiction treatment because of covert 19. well, this comes after a recent lawsuit to give us drug maker, purdue pharma, which pleaded guilty to miss handling its addictive prescription painkiller oxycontin. we spoke to a mother who lost her son to an overdose of pain callous. don't last suit is very personal to me. do i believe as commensurate with the pain and suffering that families like our own, who lost a son to an overnight pure opioid? or if you have related overdose, there's no way that will ever get her son back and how, you know, half a 1000000 people in our country don't want their lives to help you. it's for me. i mean, it really just says that if you have enough money,

you can really commit murder and get away with it. i really believe that the money that they were bringing and because of the sales of their drug oxycontin, really gave them a lot of money. just fine and potentially give it, getting the money to legislators and other people in power positions that really perhaps change the direction or you know, their support or not. and they also were required to pay into the f.d.a. . so we've never felt comfortable that the f.d.a. really has necessarily i reacted appropriately to produce a pharmacist. but the farmer was ordered to pay almost a quarter of a $1000000000.00 for spreading misinformation about his paying killer. and also pleaded guilty to paying doctors. and i mean, juice them to write more prescriptions for his pain killers. paper of her again. so

as not to show us pharma companies that are failing people. there are obviously other companies who have and involved in the circular crisis and the stimulation and sustaining of it, they would include opioid manufacturers as well as just triggers that many of them so in other words, the companies that would be just getting out to the individual pharmacies and communities across america. now the f.d.a. is 1st to watch over these drugs and drug makers and especially the marketing practices. clearly they didn't do their job effectively or we wouldn't have ended up where we we are now. there's no way to produce armitage, not know that a certain amount of these drugs were getting out on the black market. and so individual lead, it even goes out to the individual drug dealers on the streets, not to lean really confident right now that we're going to see the resolution that we want. although we remain hopeful that things will turn around,

but enough and because the work football fans in argentina have formed long queues to say the final goodbyes to the late football superstar diego maradona . but with the emotions welling up, the procession descended into clashes between police. mourns, was a police reportedly used rubber bullets and tear gas against agitated fans who were demanding more time in which to say goodbye. party journalists covering the story were injured as well. one hit by a stone, another by a rubber ball that was caught yamaha by the in the italian city of naples fans that waved flags and sang club songs dedicated

to the late star i the night sky was also turned bright red to support a set of flares in tribute to donna played for an uplift 7 years helping the club to win the league title for the 1st time in its history. and one chef in a city started to pays own personal tribute to his favorite footballer, he recreated battered honest face on pizzas. and brought them to the stadium. other phones with councils and flowers in honor of the icon would all love to know the i was lucky enough to have met him and give a pizza directly to him. this time it was done with a different mood 78 years ago. i was lucky enough to give it to him in person. i can be found who brought something this morning, a memory to the stadium. i wanted to bring my aunt the marathon. a pizza is different this time, but i'm sure diego will never fade and his name will always be strong in the sport and in the world. will some love to maradona others hate him,

but very few were indifferent and he will be remembered as one of the sport's all time greats. i never thought this day would come. my 1st idol is gone. my only idol is the greatest of all the monster football, the one who gave us everything. i'm a man when i heard about it, i died with him. that's what happened to me. we

spoke to a close friend of donna's the former year ecuadorian president rafael correa. it went to haiti, i mean this is a loss for the whole world for the entire argentinean nation. it's a catastrophe. you can't even imagine how maraton is adored. he did so much for the

country at the 86 world cup in mexico. i wasn't at that world cup, but i was in italy in the ninety's when maradona played for napoli. he was adored, especially in southern italy, so much so that even during the argentina, italy match. many italians supported argentina because of the number 10 because of diego, armando. without doubt, he was a leader, a leader that never hid his political leanings. he was in favor of progressive politics. but even if you lean toward the right, it wouldn't matter. because 1st and foremost were his personal qualities, his honesty, his leadership, his habit of saying what he thought, one way or another. it was a warrior for social justice. he was a rebel and fought against injustice and hypocrisy of the world order. he himself was from a poor family, so he knew 1st hand what it was like, living in hardship. and here we saw it as he's duty to change something. that's what gave him a close relationship and sympathy from progressive leaders in latin america. like fidel castro, hugo chavez. ever more else? mr. and the man you're speaking with right now,

but the overwhelming majority of the argentinean people and i know origin china very well. not only love but worship diego armando. there's even a church in his name. and if he was a legend while he was still alive, when now when he has raced past and left this world, he's playing football up there through the evidence with those who have also left us. the legend has become in the myth. we understand that diego right, donna is a mythical character for argentina and watch of it, but i'm part of the film will take a look at alternate realities. has so many americans, left job respond to pandemic, cute food banks on thanksgiving. all the rich see death, fortunes soaring, thanks to covert some to the very

it's interesting ministration comes when then all those who dreamed of info executed to russia, gay folks never be held accountable in the media ever be held accountable for the role they played and should be now assume the deep state is truly above the law. is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation or community? are you going the right way or are you being led? by what is true? what is faith in the world corrupted? you need to descend to join us in the death

or a mate in the shallows. back charities are warning that more americans are now going hungry than in the last 20 years. food banks have seen demand soaring during the pandemic last year. some 35000000 americans lived in food insecure households. this year a food rescue charity claims 50000000 will struggle to food on the table while many fight hunger during the pandemic. others though, are raking in profits on things it is done of explains when you hear the rich and, powerful talk about covert 19 in the u.s., it tends to be arguing for unity. you know, the country girl weary of the fight. we need to remember. we're at war with the virus now with one another. now with the chance,

the corona virus has impacted everyone in the states. there's no arguing there, but the lives of a select few have changed in a very different way. these are the richest americans, and this is how many benjamin franklin's they've raked in during the pandemic. as their combined wealth hit a trillion dollars and must just passed bill gates become the 2nd richest man in the world with a fortune of over $128000000000.00. it's almost like 2 parallel universes coexist in america. millions have slipped into poverty, more lost their jobs. hundreds of thousands can't afford to feed themselves or their families relying on the good grace of food banks which are feeling the strain in the realm of the ultra rich, a person makes more money in an hour than an average american family makes in decades as if the mega businesses of the wealthiest have been vaccinated against

the covert induced financial collapse, leaving all the hardship to the common people. just like you for everybody, but you know, everybody, you know, what happened to everybody, e.c.c. screeches. everything is closer to happen to future. we just have to be patient. i don't know, i don't know what happened. i have no idea and nobody has seen any ideas for the news. we need the help. it is we're close to protect the public good. and we need the public to come help us. we need government aid while the upper class aren't eager to block go of their money. there's no problem when it comes to giving the less fortunate a chance to earn some wealthy new yorkers. for instance, have apparently been offering 80 bucks an hour to those willing to hold a place in the queue at covert testing centers for them in and to suppression of safe travels ahead of thanksgiving. even before the pandemic,

the gap between rich and poor was the largest in the western world. and now it's only ground. the ruling class has used the pandemic to enrich itself and to impoverish millions of americans. we have people now on the verge of being evicted. many people have been evicted. many small businesses have gone under the minutely never to come back in congress. meanwhile, is doing nothing to prevent these things. it's shameful. i think you're going to see a country that again looks more like brazil looks more like india than it does like the united states say in the sixties and seventies, even eighty's, you know, you're going to look at a country with a very poor, you know, masses of very poor people. and if you're rich, it's going to be a very difficult situation for millions and millions of americans. america is 2

different worlds with different fiscal laws and physics. it seems. and while one watches on at the american dream unfold before them, the other is left with hope and prayer day to day. now it's no longer up to you to decide what's good, what's bad on facebook. the platform itself has decided to do for you with a new it mergence the algorithm. it was introduced after the us election to fight misinformation, staff reporter to refer to it is the nicer news feed and discuss whether it should become a permanent feature. earlier in november, the platform conducted research to predict what kind of thing it is. quote, good for the world and bad. for the new algorithm appears to be giving preference to content that's less critical of joe biden, suppressing posts with 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. we asked experts whether an algorithm can decide what's good, what's bad for people. i don't believe it is the place of the tech company to govern what is and is not considered to be 100 percent true when you're having algorithm that is created by human beings to determine what's true, what has the raspy and what doesn't. unfortunately, it does knowledge get it right. and then you have the reason for that. it's almost created with a bit too, or it's on silencing things that you know we, we may not like. and that's not the basis of what we should be silencing people want. there's many instances in which they go ahead and take factual stories down. what was the deal with the new york post laurie about the hunter by the laptop?

i mean, if you tweeted about that your tweet would be taken down. if you posted on facebook, you were posting with some sort of a disclaimer, but this is something that you know, that the vine campaign had never denied you know, these 4 of these conspiracies and this white supremacy, garbage and all this other stuff has nothing to do with the conservative side of, the aisle in the, in the g.o.p. what d.s.u. is, is, were truthful. stories were being dissed put disclaimers on and that her throat leading up to the election because they couldn't talk about things like hunter biden excepting foreign payments. and then being repositioned basically to do that with joe biden's victory. we know that facebook's trained to operate in order to make money. they've been making money hand over fist and order and using that which fake mentality. we know that they're suppressing that there may be some suppression of news that should be great britain up. and we also know that they are taking down

people who are saying the holocaust never happened. i disagree with the whole narrative of facebook is only are out for its business interest on this whole switch to being a publisher. goes ahead, it goes against the idea of it being a business model and a free in clear kind of up to rain for people to clear all different types of information based taking at oriel position, whichever government there's going to be some control over what the media is saying that some fortunate in it's up to people and ordered to educate themselves, which was the initial intent to have this democratization through social media. but it is been corrupted by the super rich. and that's why we see whether or not it's mainstream news looking like they're a propaganda for the, for, for the state run media, we have to be smarter than that. and fight together as a people and not be divided. and that's what social media is trying to do to us. ok

to send more news stories. so you can find if you had to a web site put it all covered. and i'll try to come check it out. on one else seemed promised. but i'll just tell all that just to see how it just happened and in just a couple of trail went the finality, well, the bar is way short of the common ground, because i have still seen the seal community normal guy called a memory

will no welsh up in the open, what if in your ocean cruise it was a march for sides on the get up on the board was to be with the one of you when you sneeze looting you, but i'm just a little coochie lead you to surround us monday morning something you personally believe that is what i heard him tell. i dealt with a few of the local which is based on what you know you are one with your leanings. there's just a little bit your bullshit. i'm going to leave with because i wish you the theory work. you do it right, the more careful a

low end. welcome the crosstalk. we're all things are considered on peter as in trying to ministration comes to an end. when those who dreamed up an executed the russia gate hoax ever be held accountable, will the media ever be held accountable for the role they play? and should we now assume the deep state is truly above the law. to discuss this and more i'm joined by my guest jim jaharis in washington. he's a retired u.s. diplomat and former advisor.
