is this all only continuity right. now. in the media. as far as a prepares his vaccine in the united kingdom and seeks approval in the united states is c.e.o. admits we still don't know who take the job will transmit the virus also to come this hour an hour to the president of turkey called a monument a burden on france urging the country to get rid of its leader turkish french relations hit a low over a crackdown on islam and moscow slams what it calls for abrogated accusations against journalists have to rush or affiliated media sites charged with violating e.u. sanctions and donald trump supporters stepped forward to cast for that after what they are calling a rigged presidential election we hear some of the latest testament to. the actual
10:01 am
ballots being ran through that here believing machines numerous times being counted 8 or 10 times i know it was a return address. thousands of them. hello good evening just gone 6 o'clock in moscow you're watching r.t. international now as we enter a new phase in the fight against the trend of ours are also facing uncertainty because the c.e.o. of the company behind the vaccine about to be rolled out in the united kingdom next week admits that they don't know whether those with the jab can still transmit 19 to others in an interview to n.b.c. . even though it's good to protection and most. other people i think this is something that needs to be examined we are not certain about that right now
10:02 am
days ago it was the news we were all awaiting for it was described as a historic moment but now it seems like it's historic so all the wrong reasons the approval of course of the kind of it 1000 vaccination just a few days ago by the british medical regulated meant that as soon as next week the vaccine could be rolled out but now it's been proved almost too good to be true of course the united kingdom was celebrating being world beating well leading and now it seems as though it potentially is just a guinea pig in the science of all of it not because pfizer has come out to admit that actually while the job might be 95 percent effective against david $900.00 there is by no means any guarantee that it can prevent carrying the transmission of 19 as well now interestingly the e.u. regulator and the u.s. top health officials have both come out say the u.k. has entirely jumped the gun here it's been far too quick and its procedures because for that there are every settings they think that approval process is necessary to
10:03 am
ensure safety and effectivity the kind of a real around the corner of the marathon because. they really run out of well regardless 40000000 doses of the vaccination have been preordered by the united kingdom the 1st surprise the 1st batch is headed to the united kingdom set to be rolled out throughout the rest of the country could be available as soon as next week meaning immunization could be as early as the next few weeks top of the list of of course the most vulnerable in society people over 80 plus care home residents and stuff and then of course those on the front 9 in the n.h.s. however there are some concerns and many people have crossed that out even here within the united kingdom some say they'll be a huge lag to all of this and next week is very very soon just around the corner placers logistical food. as well in terms of the distribution of the vaccine because this vaccination needs to be stored in minus 70 degrees and that's all those handling it so they need a lot more instructions on how to do so but then there's
10:04 am
a political narrative in all of this many people have long criticized the government allegedly arguing that there's been government failures in dealing with the covert 19 pandemic and they say that this is just more talk rather than action and it's only been exacerbated today by cabinet ministers who are ramping up this rhetoric i just reckon we've got the very best people in this country and we've always got the best bet is much better than the french are much better than the belgians have much better than the americans are that doesn't surprise me at all because we are much better country than every single one of that also so it did help that we've brics that it's for and using will instance own criteria the number of deaths in the u.k. must prove that we are in march worse come true than france and belgium not the us so obviously what a facile boast that sort of thing you hear in the playground not from an m.p. on national radio world teaching jingoism brits got it 1st because of how badly they're doing in controlling covered 19 so exactly the opposite of what they're claiming today gavin williamson saying that the united kingdom is world leading and
10:05 am
is a much better nation than any other but at what is the question the public really have . that it was to ask the report and now we can discuss this further to you with political commentator anthony webber he joins us this evening from the u.k. a very welcome thanks for coming on anthony in your view do you think that the u.k. government has rushed approval here for this. yes so i think it's i think we have. the safety of the population behind her implicit who needs a home ready to sponsor license from her complete concerns that. this will all. this proceeding recommend transmissions so all of us are also he's the acquaintance of this patsy it is not it's a fact you know transmission and this is a car safety aspects about the facts because we already know that it's
10:06 am
not safe for. our children under 16 and pregnant mothers but the tresidder thought it senses enough to know what the risk of a star is suddenly doesn't need a repeat and this is a big faults a tool being rushed and it looked at the medical profession professional suit signed a great foreign student reparation thousands of buttons you could but none of them were us to use that to reveal this particular isolation. began to the pentagon where our big problems list see the problem with transportation because if they got all that what happens if transportation is more than 6 hours because we're told that it is that ace. it's not its behalf that you've bought will
10:07 am
it actually be done in 3 people who perhaps are of such tension of the 6 hours and that it was sussman only the sentiment survey where it's always going to be mind ascendency state. many many issues there and then there's the issue i want to salute into who are all these vaccines because the last majority of the population don't even need to say no i don't see it on purpose. the brochures were not going to be our threats to mary roach school so it does appear that this is just a completely our political issue our government's trying to get the whole and all this a little ridiculous to. get me. going to just jump in there and only because when this vaccine was 1st announced you know there was there was a lot of positivity surrounding it and the assumption was ok this could be in the end of lockdown for many people except for except for do you think just within the
10:08 am
space of a few days public confidence has waned on this. i think we need to add an r.c.d. by the government so this axiom our well it's going to come through will move davis and the center out of trouble our president passes as well all. but charlie his weight easily also mentions one of the current spending so much money your own pay off taxpayers and commission this when it saw it was. going the way to solve the problem it is to recruit labels me existence and look after the people are not responsible and of course one of the problems is slated insensible are the same as with the back seats suit the older people who haven't since come but how much choice are they going to get in this because i'm very concerned they just didn't suit because it's really nice people have a very peculiar sabera who is she's suited to cairns. thought no choice in
10:09 am
a. public speaker is. the government has made it impossible because it changes the law. to the right of the gotten so little many factors it that i'm exploring patsy and that's a major reason why people should think twice because if you go back to this one of the apparent in the back seat we have the government had to clear out 60000000 pounds in compensation. fund about see so many see going specimens of let's test it to try to. last russia out it's you know the school it's he didn't say which is that she didn't see it nor did the best help that interests of the country axel so you saw the whole matter is great concern you can see this is more across the u.k.
10:10 am
there's a lot of groups. cigar was not only national arts. law terms which is. cool the most will be. large so it's all part of the government's. version since march alone so on oh sorry to interrupt you and i was going to say we're going to have to wrap up there because we've run out of time but we appreciate your thoughts on this that was a political commentator anthony weber thanks for joining us where do you think you're in for. another news the turkish president calls for a change at the very top in france slamming a man you macron and calling him a burden relations between the 2 nations have had a serious low is paris looks to crack down on a wave of radical terror. kron is a burden on france mccrone and france are going through a very dangerous period actually my hope is that france gets rid of this mccraw in
10:11 am
trouble as soon as possible. from the middle east correspondent paula slayer paula good evening just run through that exactly what is behind this verbal attack on the french president. well the spat between the turkish president adeline and france has been deepening for some time now you will remember that last week the french senate adopted a non binding resolution in which they officially recognize the independence of nagorno karabakh and they called for azerbaijani forces to need the withdraw from territories that had been captured in the disputed territory from september the 27th they're also calling for an international investigation into war crimes and at the same time prohibited weapons the senators also recommended that the french government look into the role that anchor has played and has called for decisive action against turkey now it's it all of this while at the same time saying that
10:12 am
france's foreign policy has not changed but of course this angered azerbaijan's closest ally turkey. because this you know maybe even as a budget any president to leave some advice for the french what did he say if they love the armenian so much they should give more say to the armenians making the same recommendation if they love them so much give them our say so. the french president also caused outrage last month in the muslim world when he defended the right to publish cartoons of prophet mohammed his criticism of political islam comes in the wake of the killing of a french teacher samuel patty that angered at one end of the international leaders not everyone has responded by comparing the treatment of muslims to that of jews before world war 2 and he's also. questioned the mental health of the french president at the same time you have a deepening of tensions between it and the european union and in recent years we've
10:13 am
seen the relations get increasingly rockier brussels has repeatedly expressed concern and protested of turkey's exploration of natural gas off the coast of cyprus and greece. started circulating dollars susman does negative continuation of you know where true acts and hostile rhetoric know how to get to the european summit under some of the terms and we are ready to use the means to tell disposal. and as we heard there the european union summit on the 10th of this month and e.u. member states potentially discussing with measures that they can take against and. thank you paula there was a poor asli there with the latest. now employees of russia affiliated news agencies. here have been released from interrogations on condition
10:14 am
that they will not leave latvia that after the journalists were charged with violating. from a cost that it was more the story. all we know at the moment is that they've been accused of violating personal european union sanctions against the c.e.o. of russia's a receipt a subordinate news agency me tricky solo female russian foreign ministry they have already reacted to what's happening in riga and they said that latvia's crackdown on russian speaking journalists under the pretext of the violation of the use sanctions is absolutely unacceptable the foreign ministry also said that the e.u. restrictions are of a personal nature against mr kissel off and they cannot apply to just about everyone who cooperates with the news outlets that are under his management and they consider the aggressive actions of. security service a blatant example of violating the foundations for democratic society which is
10:15 am
freedom of media and expression it is a completely punitive action which leaves no doubt about the use of 4 big subtext of the fabricated accusations you would think a crackdown on dissent overt violation of the fundamental principles of freedom of speech were totally incompatible with the status of an enlightened european state but that's the case and that the complaint to for so dissenting media is gaining momentum now the accused journalists and their colleagues certainly. outraged and mind you this is a criminal indictment against journalists and they're being persecuted for coal parading with russian news outlets now the crackdown on the russian speaking latvian journalists. well it had all of the intimidating attributes and features and they were there were searches and homes and places of work there was convinced cations of personal property and equipment there were interrogated which lasted for
10:16 am
hours one person was interviewed for 8 hours. after all of that was done the journalists were released but they were asked to. in latvia enough to leave the country and of course sign a non-disclosure agreement sputnik had a statement about this as well the long term citizens are accused of violating the sanctions regime because of their work for the receipt of civil and news agency because it's a lot of money and is tonia the agency subject to the personal sanctions of the imposed on the agency's general director jim it's really sort of intuitive for scene now russian mission and the sea they also expressed their concern they tweeted out saying this is another flagrant violation by rigo of the o.e.c.d. commitments on freedom of speech and access to information mind you persecution of russian speaking journalists in the baltic countries is not something new for example just the end of last year going into this year sputnik. there
10:17 am
journalists were forced to. break their contracts with the sputnik because this tony and. police were threatening them with jail terms of up to 5 years so basically they were forced to resign and police also cited these 2014 new sanctions personally against mr however the outlets that we've been talking about today none of them have ever appeared on the sanctions list so that's what we have for now but there were some small protests in itself against the charges and we also got reaction to you from veteran journalists. state affiliated media. are all over in the united states in israel in many other places what is the army radio in israel what is the b.b.c.
10:18 am
what is the voice of america if one starts a treating journalists. 'd other then media persons just because their livelihood depends on on a state bar or on some our reach person who owns the network that is unfair and journalists the world over should rise up against the question with question is why have they done this no and of course the the wider question is is it legitimate to use sanctions as a means of preventing the alternative use that you don't like and of course at the most extreme we saw that in the news for you slowly the bombing of the serbian national t.v. station or the missiles that were used to take a 0 offices in kabul during the the afghan war.
10:19 am
proof of c.n.n. bias against donald trump that's how a us conservative to scribe leaked tapes of conference calls held by the news network in one clip released by project very task a c.n.n. special correspondent is heard saying that she was advised by lawmakers not to give trump too much air time. the computer in the same brain box former problem one who have not learned who graduate. but. to those who have been the democrats and that is that we have to be you know racial. in the response of. not thinking she will watch about 5 for. one thing. in the open troll world forward or the correspondent there herself hasn't commented on the
10:20 am
released tapes yet however the network's communications team has tweeted that project very task may have broken the law by snooping on its stuff and have referred the case to law enforcement even cations manager of 4 project very task a my colleagues asked taylor his views on the tapes and whether he thinks is legal action. you'll hear the outgoing president of c.n.n. jeff zucker dictating to his hosts reporters editors and producers what the news will be not based on whether it is true not based on whether it's important but whether or not it fits jeff zucker's world view and personal political agenda there's no diversity of opinion nobody objects nobody challenges c.n.n. did react very quickly on twitter that said that is going to get your enforcement involved my question is are you ready and do you think the door is on your side i
10:21 am
don't believe for a minute that the police are to come knocking on our door everything that project veritas does is legal we have a very well trained and very well paid legal staff and i'm highly confident that everything we did was within the legal guard rails you know and no one has called us from from law enforcement that's just something they said that tweet came from cnn's p.r. staff and i think you can call that a p.r. stunt and i want to ask you one of the tables what todd and you'll private discussions with that is his workspace to do you support as well that who is objecting c.n.n. i mean they ran secretly recorded tapes of 1st lady malani a trump just weeks ago they were in the access hollywood tapes they ran tapes secretly recorded of mitt romney when he was the 2012 republican candidate for president the idea that c.n.n. is suddenly upset. about somebody were chris secretly recording a meeting or
10:22 am
a conference call and put and putting out to the public that's absolutely absurd while the leaks also appear to show c.n.n. chief jeff ordering employees not saying no but i strums kinds on the election legal how media analyst told us he believes that news outlets which do shut the most about their impartiality usually show the least. so the question is what role did o'keefe play because if he if he just got the number himself and somebody let's it just gave it to him and he dialed in himself never being a part of us i think you may have legal problems but this is weird because now we have don't cause and now we have new areas of conversation and conference it's not a one on one conversation and don't forget lionel's law the law always lags behind technology if we had done the same thing i'd say 2. or.
10:23 am
something how bad you we would maybe hear something maybe not as blatant as that but certainly a journalistic bias and there are other people who say this is the brand the idea of you tuning into c.n.n. you want to hear a liberal anti trump stuff i'm sorry but that's a fact so being true to the bad brand to the shareholders they have to produce but here's the thing which is amazing when you look at people who go out of their way to see we are the news we are unbiased fair and balanced is this in essence a form of trademark law is this perjury do they enjoy any kind of liability for misleading the consumer if i tell you something is 100 calories but it's 200 you better believe i may get a lawsuit well if i'm lying about the content why shouldn't it apply otherwise watch this being addressed in the courts coming up. brothers have sustained her injuries after israeli soldiers apparently detonated an explosive device at their

10:28 am
house so they decided to burst into the house in a brutal way which none of us expected after we were injured the soldiers started arguing with each other about why it happened when i reached hospital they paid for everything and when the lawyer arrived he also said that the army had knowledge is that it's there for. me and my brother were both hit because of a mistake and he was arrested because he'd been arrested before. the russian president has given a speech on how artificial intelligence can help to transform russia but he did warn say that the technology has to be carefully regulated and hawkins reports. in the coming decade we are to pursue the digital transformation of our entire country we are seeing universally implemented technologies and big data analysis and realizing our goals we must rely on a sovereign 2nd logical groundwork a 1000000000 rubles will be earmarked to pursue digital transformation of the

public administration and showed public services to a digital format many of which will be provided automatically to my teachers well president putin has always been very clear on the portraits of developing digital technology particularly emphasizing the domestic tech sector military communications and artificial intelligence and this was of course a key part of his speech today as well in which the president highlighted the need to update the country's laws and legislative systems with regards to ai and in particular the segments of the economy that use it now with regards to this of course the safety and protection of pastel data has been paramount it's good for concerns that many russians as the country increasingly moves towards a digital economy and the president was clear that the balance needed to be struck between making that digital progress and protecting people's data protecting people's information in particular to do with data leaks. i ask the government to

promptly present a bill allowing the creation of draft laws for using ai across economy sectors and also present the strategy of how to use e.i. in practice so that it helps for example doctors at the same time all risks of personal data lead should be prevented human rights should unconditionally be observed. now those proposals that the president mention is that they could come as early as next year or early 2021 while he will put forward proposals to grant a u.i. developers access to government data something that will of course need to be carefully monitored and controlled you also mentioned about the challenges posed to many workers and government officials by this issue dollars a. process by the moving of many aspects of life from offline to online and he said that while these pose difficulties and challenges for many people it all supposed opportunities for people to prove themselves and show that us it's all qualities as it does seem that the spies on.
