an investigative it news website claims to have been blacklisted by british intelligence after exposing government surveillance practices says it's being targeted by g. c. h q. lawmaker resigned his seat in the european parliament after being caught at a party in brussels. the media are describing as a mostly male orgy to diplomats were among the guests iran ups, the ante over the murder of its top nuclear scientists, vowing to hunt down criminals and seek revenge

for broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is r t international . i'm sean thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. and investigative news website is claiming to have been blacklisted by british intelligence. declassified u.k. is known for exposing military activities and government surveillance. as the story for us, the classifier, the u.k. and their head of investigations, matt ken are these the former financial times, journalists, they've been blacklisted by g c, h q, and a number of internal emails showing that staff are being told not to engage with. that doubt, that declassified u.k. blacklisted by g.c. age, kill britain's largest intelligence agency, internal emails from shell, which will not been gauging further with math canada declassified head of investigations. the day he published what the agency privately disparaged as a negative long read about his secretive school's program. according to, declassified u.k., one particular line of investigative journalism is what got the backs off of

a program run by the intelligence agency. looking into going into schools and teaching children how to conspire and brute force cyber attack. the website have also got quite a long history of looking at other aspects of the things that britain's military and government in general are getting up to. the older members question is assumed to refer to lifton and colonel mourner out by ease who completed typhoon conversion. training in the u.k. delivered by royal air force, r e of personnel. in 2011 to 2012,

we've been hearing from joe that it's groups like reporters without borders who have described this mode of operating by g, c, h, q, m, by the government as being trumpy. and this is yet another worrying example of the u.k. government, imposing arbitrary restrictions on media deemed to be critical to trampy unmoved as her no place in british democracy for a few years. now the criticisms that press freedoms are being clamped down on in the british government. so as far as this latest incident is concerned, that doesn't bode well for those who are concerned about press freedoms. we spoke with a british journalist, yvonne ridley, she thinks the targeting of declassified u.k. follows an alarming pattern of government cracking down on any form of reporting. they disagree with britain is a country which likes to cry and it sounds in treatment speech. and this goes completely against the great white why she c.h.

. she was made this decision and is silly. it is a journalist's job to ask all could questions to be critical of the information. beatrice seems so, you know, journalists don't do that. jobs to be popular. quite the reverse and you know this, this move has already been likened to a trophy in style and decision. and of course, this is what we've seen in the white house that when journalists upset president donald trump, they get blacklisted or are asked to leave the, the white house press corps, and for g, c, h q, to do this, to a journalistic organization. is astonishing. as they say now for something completely different to hungary and member of the

european parliament has resigned. after admitting to attending a private party in brussels. that local media are describing as an orgy to get together to get together happen last week in defiance of a lockdown and was broken up by police. about 20 other people were there. all or mostly naked men were present at the party above a gay bar. 2 european diplomats were among the guests of the hunger and lawmaker allegedly tried to flee by climbing down a drain pipe. and police say he was carrying drugs by report it to the police. if he had seen a man fleeing along the gutter, he was able to identify the man, the man hands were bloody. it is possible that he may have been injured while philine. now, according to were found in his backpack well in his resignation letter, josefa share who is a member of hungary's ruling. finnish party admitted that his behavior was irresponsible, and he apologized for breaching a lockdown rules and commenting on the ecstasy pill found in his backpack. he said

it's not mine. david coburn, a former member of the european parliament for scotland, says politicians who break down rules are undermining public health efforts. it's not setting a good example to the people in a time of america's general have a good law. you know, the congress, even though it is serious and as much is that people don't want to be set an example like that. it is the goal. if there are politicians are having a tremendous party while the rest of us, i mean to isolate, i mean it, look at my hear a lie. i never had hail as long as i was a student. i was, you know, bob, i'm in months so you know, i try to be the rules and set the example as it goes a little bit o. away. and by, you know, i think it's better if people obey the rules overseas, but it's not to, to do the opposite to what you're, you're selling to the public. the president of the red cross is urging governments

to combat the spread of false information on covert vaccines, which he calls a 2nd pandemic. francesco raga said that public reluctance to take the jab, could stall efforts to counter the virus. we believe that the massive coordinated efforts that will be needed to rule out the vaccine in an equivocal manner, need to be paralleled by equally massive efforts to proactively build and maintain trust. the red cross chief went on to side surveys showing that in a quarter of countries, less than half of people are willing to take a covert vaccine. and as examples of fake news, he highlighted a popular belief that the virus doesn't affect young people or africans. and also claims that the virus has disappeared and the pandemic is actually over the director of health and care at the red cross told us he believes public acceptance of covert vaccines will emerge over time. well, the reason one element, these is

a new prime demi, can you virus that behaves in ways that we didn't know until a year ago. and we have been discovering it slowly, slowly by slowly and so science is adopted and it will be and communicating able being science is difficult. and that's why i think media scientists a critical role to play, to try to explain in very simple terms that what is happening and why changes may be happening. people at the moment of a very high level of vaccine hesitancy. and so right now we see that the only 30 percent of population in many countries would actually be ready to take the vaccine . we know that these, these will increase time passes by and people get more confident. and i think we have a role to play, to ensure that people feel comfortable, comfortable, that people feel trust towards the authorities towards the scientists and towards the means that we putting in place to keep everybody safe for all around the world . iran is vowing to hunt down the vose behind the assassination of its leading

nuclear physicist. top officials issued a stern warning after the scientists funeral. iran. iran has stated before it's definite call, see independently give a reciprocal response to those who ordered and committed this crime with maximum pain. for the culprits, god willing no crime, no foolish nation. we will certainly hunt down criminals until the end. they must know that they will be punished for their actions. had this all took place on friday when the scientist was traveling in his car near tehran, he was shot in an ambush and died of his injuries in the hospital. iran has branded the assassination an act of state terror and blamed israel in the united states. daniel hawkins reports on the shock waves it has sent through the region. dr. morsi in factories. ardea was different things to different people, to his family,

a husband and a father, to his country, a patriot, a prized and respected scientists to others though he was a threat affectively in charge of iran's alleged nuclear weapons program. we don't exactly know what motivated the killing, but if it had anything to do with removing a supposed threat in the interests of peace and stability, the result so far seems to be the reverse of the streets of boiling over with anger. well fuck result, it was given a state funeral and granted martyr status. iran is out for revenge. some hardliners are calling for direct, massive retaliation against those who they think are responsible. even the strikes on israeli cities are on the table. life for an eye says god's law and to ron is in no mood to let this crime go unpunished. an image of around to know that the rainy nation and the country's officials are brave enough to respond to this criminal

action. when the term is raid the relevant officials in which part of this crime. but this is now bigger than just tit for tat violence. if wars in iran's alleged nuclear program was the goal that's failed, iran is government has vowed to continue this. scientists work with redoubled efforts should we will be more united will be more determined even for the continuation of your post. we will carry on with more and more power and the nuclear deal already in tatters after the us withdrawal is quickly fading. as the country's parliament looks, the stop inspections at its nuclear sites with the consent of m.p.'s to urgent action plans were adopted to lift sanctions in order to return to the era of the nuclear energy boom. and to stop surveillance by i.a.e.a. spies with biden's incoming administration aiming for a new deal with a rod in looking like they could get no deal at all by them to

simple terms apologize in some ways he will have to come up with even more of a diplomatic concession than simply restoring the agreement . i think iran will need far more guarantees after all, even when president obama signed the deal. not all sanctions were removed and iran never of quite benefit economically hoped. and why would the iranians choose compromise in a rare moment of unity? they now have the support of everyone from turkey and iraq to the u.a.e. and even europe. we condemn this heinous murder and extend our condolences to the government of iran and the family of the deceased. the emirates condemns the crime of the assassination of cause and also writes to practice the greatest possible

restraint. so as to avoid dragging the region to new levels of instability and threats to peace. this is a criminal act and runs counter to the principle of respect for human rights. the e.u. stands for, for every action equal and opposite reaction. it was clear assassinating a scientist on a rainy in the soil would start up a hornet's nest reaction across the region and beyond. plenty had still on our to international it is revealed a huge hollywood charity to help sexual harassment victims spend just a fraction of donations, helping the victims themselves. the claims and reaction of next they're with us is you'll be a reflection of reality in

a world transformed what will make you feel safe, isolation 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 depths or inmate in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alex simon show, and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics, sports business, i'm show business. i'll see you then.

welcome back. this is our team international. now, russia's delegation to the global chemical weapons watchdog has urged germany and other members to stop using the o.p.c. w for political purposes. the brutal campaign of the so-called poisoning of a russian blogger and in suing actions by germany and its your atlantic allies in the p.c. . w. is a way to use this international organization to exert its political and sanctions pressure on the russian federation. on monday, 56 of the 193 member states condemned the alleged poisoning of russian opposition figure election avali. they released a joint statement urging moscow to disclose the circumstances of what they called a chemical attack, involving fell ill in august on a domestic flight in russia and was taken to berlin for treatment. germany claims

it found no traces. it did find traces rather of novacek nerve agent in his body and allegation later repeated by the o.p.c. w. . however, moscow says its own tests found no such substance and that berlin has rejected requests for lab data. we spoke to alexander shrug and russia's permanent representative to the o.p.c. w. he thinks the claims against russia have a clear political motive. partners in the a p c w against further politicizing, the organization which would create deep divisions and interrupt a normal work in the search for compromises. different countries interpret provisions of the chemical weapons convention in their own way. we should prevent any attempts to spread one's own rules in place of the established conventions of international law or our western partners and their technical secretariat's, when it's convenient for them refer to confidentiality clause. under this pretext, russia was refused access to key aspects of the technical secretary,

its report on providing assistance to germany in the case. but when western countries are not satisfied, they forget all about confidentiality clauses. the chemical weapons convention and international law must be strictly complied with, and only after that will we have the confidence that we can overcome our problems and work together. there is a major embarrassment for a sexual harassment charity set up by hollywood celebrities with massive publicity that after it was revealed, the time's up foundation just spent 10 percent of donations on actually helping women in its 1st year of operation tax filings show. the group raised more than $3500000.00 in 2018, but almost half of that went on salaries alone with huge sums also spent on luxury resort conferences. in fact, just $312000.00 went to the victims of sexual harassment. r.t. received this response from the organization. our 2018 expenses were mostly related

to our startup costs, such as legal costs and recruit. instead of that would establish initiatives that would be launched in 2019. time's up was formed in the wake of the scandal over harvey weinstein. a former top hollywood producer, found guilty of sexual assault. the foundation itself claims it's gone on to help thousands of victims, including committing millions of dollars in legal n.p.r. support. but lawyer marni, thinks new rules are needed for such nonprofit organizations. and this really is not a good bottle for a nonprofit organization. 5 this is what i would call in and discipline nonprofit. you basically lost their way and really were there to mission alliance. and it seemed like the nonprofit was sort of using the organization as a slush fund. the golden rule for not profits is that 75 percent of its funding

really should go to its mission, march 25 percent, go to goes toward the administration of it. but here, 38 percent went to salaries and let the c.e.o. shahzad was to see this imbalance and actually take a pay. here's what happens. a nonprofit organizations, as there are, there are very sort of like self-regulation. i think the best thing that a nonprofit actually can do is put their taxes like right on their web site for the public to see. and also, i mean, i think for these sort of large nonprofit organizations that you know, in a lot of media attention, you know, what they really should do is put sort of mechanisms in place where, you know, you have like independent board. you have an independent auditor, you put controls, internal controls in place. space is cool. russia is planning to launch its own space station. after 2024, that's the year funding will run out for the i assess which is nearing the end of

its service life r.t.c. or john of reports on the shifting priorities and computing powers in space. the most expensive object humanity has ever built. and it's approaching its inevitable retirement. and as it ages it, humanity's home away from home, the i assess is not feeling as good as it used to. so will there be a life in space that we know of after the station finally goes off? judy, how soon might it happen, and how likely is that the technical troubles piling up could bring about its demise. in younker lived on board of the i assess for 17 months. here's what he told me. only w. the roadways were and will be some problems. the more complex technology is, the higher the risk of failure. during my 2 expeditions, breakdowns happened as frequently as sunset and we consider it something close to normal. if there's a breakdown, go to fix it. but we can't ignore the fact that the station in orbit for more than

20 years and the recounts are quinces to that. russia is obligated to take part in the program until 2025. so to keep its presence in orbit past that it needs to devise a mission of its own or stick to funding the i assess indefinitely. and while moscow has confirmed it has a project of a new station in the works. the head of russia's federal space agency has said it's too early to write off the assess just yet. cosmonaut can young says that russia should think bigger on the scale of the solar system. there's no point in maintaining the station any longer 1st of all the americans ago in their own way. they've got a different planet, and sooner or later they'll have no use. it'll be much worse if things that we do that will be a punch to the cosmos and the energy. a rocket in space corporation, a right to consider their own project. but i think having another orbital station

is out of date, we need to go further to keep from the space race of the cold war 2 international partnership. and now the pendulum is swinging back towards an orbital, free for all chinese, concocting a space program of its own. the u.s. has announced plans to return to the moon and venture out to mars while nasa has been joining forces with private contractors. cooperation in space, exploration is beneficial to us as experience has proven the remote of countries participating in the i.s.a.'s project. and it's also facilitated some political challenges here on earth. but that's a concern for the politician who's with more than 20 years of operations behind it of the auld enough to be called a senior citizen in space station years. so it will have to be maintained until the tech of a new era is ready and ultimately left behind as a stepping stone to the next frontier. unprecedented,

it pressure facing the e.u. is internal open borders known as shame. game has seen members meet online for a unique form to thrash out if the free movement zone can be reformed and saved. europeans and 26 nations have been able to cross into each other's countries with ease for years. but crisis ranging from migration to terrorism to covert have seen it, nations increasingly bring back border controls between 20062014 over 9 years . internal border checks were introduced $35.00 times, but since 2015 in less than 5 years, internal border checks were introduced. 205 times, this is a significant increase. we need to understand the reasons behind it and address them urgently. border guards in the e.u. focus on the block's extra frontiers, while people and the traffic within the shang in zone are free to move between others member nations. but security concerns have steadily mounted and seen some

countries take it upon themselves to unilaterally bring down the barriers again, pitting them against you. leaders in brussels for some countries, patients has run out and there's increasing feeling that it's time for a major change in shake up we need to reform showing and to make it a zone of security. no just free movement. geo political analyst rana thinks that europe's politicians have failed to achieve that basic goal in the past 5 years since the migration crisis in 2015. yeah, the politicians failed to show it to the citizens, really a reliable system which protects the external borders. and therefore, we have that charge increase in internal controls. so the problems are already dispersed inside the shing,

an area the security challenges can be found in all the different nations. so controlling the borders comes a little bit late as an idea of the politicians. it should have been applied from the start because that was the basic idea of the schengen area of really having a solid, reliable protection of the external borders. and this has not been achieved so far, and it's not a site for the near future. a bar in the heart of new york's has taken a defiant approach against the law down declaring itself an autonomous zone exempt from authorities restrictions on public dining

give me something that i can generate. i can have where i can just pay my rent and my utilities, so i don't have to shut down. so i'm not totally in the rent where i have to walk to make up or say ok. you know, i'm sure they can find money to do that. people are going to live what their lives, how are you supposed to know, run a business and everything like, you know, we've got 5 and was normal, but these people expect you to do it all means you got to the holidays. you know, you're going to see that stand, it's going to thomas on here, how you feel about it, how i feel? no, no. i don't think it's going to work for you. got fined for student albums. 'd

33 minutes, that's when i'll be back with another. look at your news. this is arch international . stay with us. it's seemed wrong. when old rules just don't hold any you get to shape our disdain comes to answer. and indeed from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground that

will come out of mere one or a goal?

i think one of the worst things as a kid is what you want to do. it's not what you want to do. it's why do you do the things you do? you could design a life that is focused on your watch being aware of work as a way of expression. people ask me what motivates me every day and i look, i'm just being me. i started my company because it was an expression of myself. i am just painting on a canvas. but i think if we can teach them that, think of their work and their life as a place to express themselves and then dream of what they see themselves becoming that strategic mistake makes you think more long term rather than the short term. what athletes are told to picture making the shot before they take the

shot. and i think that the same thing is true for the rest of us. we have to picture what our goal is, is looking like and not just pick an arbitrary goal. but what do we want our life to look like? and then create a plan to get there and we can help kids do better. but it's in their own hands. it's in their hands, that's a lesson every kid should learn. and those sort of step the responsibility, i can make sure that i never will be poverty and my kids and i will have a barbie if i do the right thing.
