to join us in the forum, even the show and investigative news website claims to have been blacklisted by british intelligence after exposing government surveillance practices. declassified u.k. says it is being targeted by lawmaker resigns 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 and iran, the ante over the murder of its top nuclear scientist, hunt down criminals and seek revenge.

broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is r t international, and sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us right now. an investigative news web site is claiming to have been blacklisted by british intelligence. declassified u.k. is known for exposing military activities and government surveillance. as the story, the classifier, the u.k. and the head of investigations, matt can either he's a former financial times journalist, they've been blacklisted by g c, h q, and a number of internal e-mail showing that staff are being told not to engage with, that doubt that declassified u.k. blacklisted by g.c. age, killed britain's largest intelligence agency, internal e-mails 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 its secretive schools program. according to declassified, u.k. one particular line of investigative journalism is what got the backs up of

a program run by the intelligence agency. looking into going into schools and teaching children how to conspire, 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 moore, and out by e. s. who completed typhoon conversion training in the u.k. delivered by royal air force aria of personnel in 2011 to 2012. we've been hearing

from joe that is 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. the criticisms that press freedoms are being clamped down on in the british government. so as far as this latest incident is concerned, it 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 governments 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, quite why the c.h.p. 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 that this move has already been likened to a trophy and styled 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.

now for something completely different, a hungering member of the european parliament has resigned after admitting to attending a private party in brussels, that local media are describing as an orgy. the get together happened last week in defiance of a lockdown and was broken up by police. about 20 other people, all or mostly naked men were present at the party above a gay bar. 2 european diplomats were among the guests. the hungry and lawmaker allegedly tried to flee by climbing down a drain pipe. and police say he was carrying drugs. a passer by reported to the police that 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 in his resignation letter. yes, if cher, who is a member of congress ruling finnish party, admitted that his behavior was irresponsible. he apologized for breaching

a lockdown rules and a 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 lock down rules are undermining public health efforts. it's not setting a good example to the people in a time of america's jimmy. going to have a good laugh about it. 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 a goal. if they're out there, politicians are having a tremendous poxy while the rest of us having to isolate, i mean, to look at my hear a lion's mane. i never had hear those loans as i was a student. i was, you know, bob, i'm in bounce. so, you know, i try to be the rules and set the example as a goes a little bit o. away and by, you know, i think it's better 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. rocca said that public reluctance to take the job could stall efforts to counter the virus. believe that the massive coordinated efforts that will be needed to roll out the covert vaccine in an equivocal manner, need to be paralleled by equally massive efforts to proactively build and maintain trust. the red cross, a chief, went on to cite surveys showing of 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 over the director of health and care of the red cross told us that he believes public acceptance of covert vaccines will emerge over time. well, the reason one element, these is

a new prime demick, a new 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 it all being science is difficult. and that's why i think media scientists critiquer 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 confortable, that people feel trust towards the authorities towards the scientists and towards the means that be putting in place to keep everybody safe for all around the world

. iran is vowing to hunted down those behind the assassination of its leading nuclear physicist. top officials issued a stern warning after the scientists funeral. iran. iran, as 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, as the foolish nation, we will certainly hunt down criminals until the end. they must know that they will be punished for their actions. had the assault took place on friday when the scientist who was travelling in his car, near tears ron, 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 on the united states, artie's dan hawkins reports on the shock waves throughout the region. it 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, a man 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, a boiling over with anger. well fuck resort. 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. and image of around the world that the

rain 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. it was in iran, as alleged nuclear program, was the goal that's failed there on this 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 and will carry on with more and power and the nuclear deal already in tatters after the us withdrawal is quickly fading. as the country's parliament looks to 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 iran. it's 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 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. it causes nor science 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 and soil would start up a hornet's nest that will now lead to a reaction across the region and beyond. plenty still ahead from r.t. 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 up next right here, stay with us. things

become more extreme, which leads to right when this is like breaking norms, not really in a good way. the right strain is what the reality is

back. this is our to international, not russians that 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 pain of the so called poisoning of a russian blogger and in suing actions by germany and its your atlantic allies in the o.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 a russian opposition figure alexina volley. they released a joint statement urging moscow to disclose the circumstances of what they called a chemical attack. navai fell ill in august on

a domestic flight in russia and was taken to berlin for treatment. germany claims it found traces of novacek nerve agent in his body, an 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 with alexander shogun,, russia's permanent representative to the o.p.c., w e, thinks the claims against russia have a clear political motive. partners in the p. c. w. gainst for the politicizing, the organization which would create deeper 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, our western partners and their technical secretariat's,

when it's convenient for them refer to confidentiality clause. under this pretext, russia has refused access to key aspects of the technical secretary, its reports 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 have the confidence that we can overcome or problems and work together. there is major embarrassment for a sexual harassment, a charity set up by hollywood celebrities with massive publicity that after it was revealed, the time's up foundation spent just 10 percent of donations on actual helping women in its 1st year of operation tax filings show. the group raised more than $3500000.00 in 2000 a team, but almost a half went on salaries alone with huge sums also spent on luxury resort conferences and fact. just $312000.00 went to the victims of sexual harassment

themselves. r.t. received this response from the organization. our turn to 18 expenses were mostly related to our start up costs, such as legal costs and recruiting. start of that would establish initiatives that would be launched in 2019 times 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 has gone on to help thousands of victims, including committing millions of dollars in legal and p.r. support. but lawyer money thinks new rules are needed for such nonprofit organizations. i would say this really is not a good battle for a nonprofit organization. 5 this is what i would call in and discipline profit and basically lost their way. and really what they're actually mission was 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. ma 25 percent go to goes toward the administration of it right here, 38 percent went to salaries and let the c.e.o. should have done was to see this imbalance and actually take a pay cut. here's what happens with nonprofit organizations as there are, they're very sort of like self regulate. 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, get 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 an independent board. you have an independent auditor, you put controls, internal controls in place. the really sick is pensive obed and

see russia ever built to launch its own space station. after 2024, that's the year funding will run out for the i s s which is nearing the end of its service life r.t.c. goes down after reports on the shifting priorities and computing powers in space. it's the most expensive object. humanity has ever built, and it's approaching its inevitable retirement. and as it ages it ails humanity's home, away from home, the i assess is not feeling as good as it used to. so will there be 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. lived on board of the i assess for 17 months. here's what he told me. there always 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 has been 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 i assess just yet. cosmonaut cutting 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 are going their own way. they've got different plans, and sooner or later they'll have no use for the i.s.a.'s. it'll be much worse if they move it earlier than we do. that'll be

a punch to the girl. cause most of 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 all but still 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 that 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 politicians. with more than 20 years of operations behind it of the all the 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 pressure facing the e.u. internal open borders known as she has seen. members meet on line for a unique form to thrash out if the free movement zone can be reformed and saved europeans in 26. nations have been able to cross into each other's countries with ease for years, but crises ranging from migration to terrorism to covert have seen nations increasingly bring back border controls between 20062014 over 9 years. internal border checks were introduced 35 times, but since 2015 in less than 5 years, internal border checks were introduced. 205 times. this is a significant increase when he turned to stand the reasons behind it and address them urgently. border guards in the e.u. focus on the block's external frontiers,

while people and traffic within the schengen zone are free to move between other 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 evil leaders in brussels. for some countries, patience has run out and there is increasing feeling that it's time for a major shake up. we need to reform showing and to make it a zone of security. no, just free movement. geo political analyst thinks europe's of politicians have failed to achieve basic goal in the past 5 years since the migration crisis and 2015. yeah, the politicians failed to show it to their citizens, really a reliable system which protects the external borders. and therefore we have charged increase in internal controls. so the problems are already

dispersed inside, pushing an area the security challenges can be found in all the different nations. so controlling the borders a little bit later as an idea of the politicians 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 has taken a defiant approach against the lockdown declaring itself, an autonomous zone exempt from authorities restrictions on public dining

give me something i can generate. i can have where i could just pay my rent and my utilities. so i don't have to shut down, so i'm not totally in the red 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 in what their lives are you supposed to know, run a business and every day and like, you know, we've got to find that it was normal that these people expect people to do not need to go to the holidays. you know, you're going to see that seemed to grow at a time of song here, how you feel about it or feel, but i don't think it's going to work toward a fine for student albums. ready

just under 33 minutes, that's when i'll be back with another look at your news. this is our 2 international. just stop the amplifier. he had my pappy airways. it will

come to me when the way you'll join me every time i'm sure you can to give us a little bit i'm sure. i'll see you

financialization has its limits. the accounting tricks of stock buybacks and money printing of their lives and in saudi arabia. we see a brilliant example of what happens when a country decides to go into financialization, instead of let's say, diversifying into actual productive economic activity. this is the one business show you can't afford to mess up. their montecito been watching 10 coming up the much just a few dead or stream 2 german russian pipelines plans to restart construction later this week. and nearly 100 percent of funding has already been provided on cyber

monday, hit record online sales of $10800000000.00. we'll tell you what the forecast is for the overall holiday season, but retailing and income are science for us and we have a lot to get to. so let's get started. after a year's delay, germany said construction of its nordstrom to pipeline will resume this week. a german agency and the candidate may have found a way to skirt u.s. sanctions, those that halted the pipeline running from russia to europe across the baltic sea . last december. the vessel can lay down pipelines without anchors, and it can set down pipe out about a 3rd of the speed as the vessel that swiss pipeline company all season is using prior to this. well, a majority of the remaining section will be in danish waters and pipe laying will restart in germany territory by the end of this week. meanwhile, the pipeline operate.
