11:04 am
negative continuation of you know actual acts and hostile rhetoric. to the european summit and some of the term to use that means that i'll just pose. and as we heard there the european union summit on the 10th of this month and e.u. member states potentially discussing. measures that they can take against and. hoarsely are there now one of the latest vaccines being put forward to tackle coronavirus in the united kingdom has come under increasing scrutiny that after the c.e.o. of pfizer admit it is vaccine may not stop the use you take it from spreading the virus. even though it's good that protection and most. of the people i think this is something that needs to be examined we are not certain about that right now 2 days ago it was the news we were all of waiting for it was described as a historic moment but now it seems like it's historic for all the wrong reasons the
11:05 am
approval of course of the covert 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 world leading and now it seems as though it potentially is just to get the pig in the science of all of its not because pfizer has come out to admit that actually while the job might be 95 percent effective against private 19 there is by no means any guarantee that it can prevent carrying and the transmission of covert 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 in its procedures because for that for their every settings they think that the longer approval process is necessary to ensure safety and effective ety kind of a real around the corner of the marathon because. they really rushed.
11:06 am
well there you heard from the top u.s. immunologist who has since apologized for slamming the u.k.'s 2 hastily obviously private trucking saying it was all a misunderstanding however the initial statement sparked some controversy and apparently put the director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases on the defensive 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. class care home residents and stuff and then of course those on the front line in the n.h.s. however there are some concerns and many people have crossed the doubt even here within the united kingdom some say they'll be a huge lack to all of this and next week is very very soon just around the corner
11:07 am
placers logistical fears 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 a political narrative in all of this many people have long criticize 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 medical regulators much better than the french better than the belgians have much better than the americans and that doesn't surprise me at all because we are much better country than every single one of that also so it did help but we've bricks that it's for and use unwilling to rue 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 obviously what a facile boost that sort of thing you hear in the playground not to be on national
11:08 am
radio world beating jingoism brits got it 1st because of how badly they're doing in controlling public 19 so exactly the opposite of what they're claiming to their government williamson saying that the united kingdom is world leading and is a much better nation than any other but at what is the question the public really have. commentator anthony weber believes that the rush to the vaccine isn't necessary. those fast wraps this to create or are on the basis that it it's hard for emergency situation or the time donate my food such a very debatable because we really have to sort of pound our military just made here out of that meeting which is in fact sitting on one of the proportion of the population normally what they mean with a pandemic you just need a whole lot of issues to turn serious so i don't think this really
11:09 am
qualifies surgery construct bussing only only now to look at the books absent the great just so 30000 with a population of 67000000. and we know that every minute. of it by gun taking so it's a complete overreaction people are going to be. but there are going to be big amounts of money to be made all right beasts produces the acceleration. so i'm going to say we're open and yet through leadership relation. really because most people don't actually need it and so they are. now the employees of russia affiliated news agencies but news and sputnik latvia have been released from interrogations on condition that they will not leave latvia that after the journalists were charged with violating e.u.
11:10 am
sanctions from cos that have has more to temps. over now at the moment is that they've been accused of violating personal european union sanctions against the c.e.o. of russia's the receipt of the news agency any tricky still for now the 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 u. . sanctions is absolutely unacceptable the foreign ministry said that the e.u. restrictions are all of a personal nature against mr gissin 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 freedom of media and expression it is a completely punitive action which leaves no doubt about the use of 4 big subtext
11:11 am
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 a russian news outlets now that crackdown on the russian speaking latvian journalist. well it had all of the intimidating attributes and features and there were searches and homes and places of work there was confessed cations of personal property and equipment they were interrogating which lasted for hours one person was interviewed for 8 hours. after all of that was done the journalists were
11:12 am
released but they were asked to state in latvia not to leave the country and of course sign a non-disclosure agreement sputnik had a statement about this was 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 2 months rick you said. 24 seen 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 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. and now there journalists
11:13 am
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 the police also cited these 2014 you 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 from across that of proportion while there were some small private tests and reader itself against the charges we also heard reaction 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. what is the voice of america if one starts a treating journalists. other then media persons just because
11:14 am
their livelihood depends on on a state or are on some are rich 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 views 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. now proof of c.n.n. bias against donald trump that's how a u.s.
11:15 am
conservative group has described the tapes of conference calls held by the news network and one clip released by project very tasa c.n.n. special correspondent is heard saying that she was advised by lawmakers not to give trump too much air time. i just keep your in the same wrong box more problems one who have not been there who can graduate. but. to those who haven't the democrats and that is there may have to be you know news organization. here in europe or in the aren't responsible. not thinking she will watch about 54. why are you sitting. in the open troll initial word for word or correspondent herself hasn't commented on the released tapes yes however the network's communications team has tweeted that project very task may have broken the law by snooping on its
11:16 am
staff and have referred the case to lower in force mint 3 negations manager for project very task a my colleague saskia taylor his views on the tapes and also whether he actually faiz 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 t. think the door is on your side i don't believe for a minute that the police are to come knocking on our door everything that project
11:17 am
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 it as while the one 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 a conference call and put and putting out to the public that's absolutely absurd.
11:18 am
that o'keefe boy because if he if he just got the number himself 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 zoom 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 to. fox or newsmax or 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 in to 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
11:19 am
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 couldn't so more 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. 2 brothers have sustained horrific injuries after israeli soldiers apparently detonated an explosive device at their home one of the men who stayed in hospital shared his story. that the so the army came at around 6 am while me and my family were asleep the soldiers placed an explosive device at the door and blew it up. i woke up from the pain in my legs and found out that my brother was injured as well that's what i remember i was injured and then arrested while i was on the stretcher i was in
11:20 am
a coma for 18 days i had surgery 9 times they even wanted to amputate my leg a month and a half later my father visited me and i didn't even recognize him at 1st and then i slowly started to improve but it's now been 3 months. mahomet's brother has been detained without trial according to his family the father described the shock of seeing his injured son's and questions why it happened. where the burb in those stairs and from both my son's droning in their blood their legs shredded pieces of flesh the wounds in the soldiers i couldn't handle seeing my children it is brutal and inhuman why did they have to use this huge explosive device even our neighbors from 2 kilometers away heard the explosion i was allowed to visit my sons in the hospital a week later they were in a serious condition and then they arrested one of them without charge or trial he
11:21 am
was sent to prison when i visited him he was walking on crutches he had platinum in his legs replacing the bones because he shouted. when israel response says that it was carrying out an anti terror raid seizing armed military operatives weapons and also ammunition statement describes the brothers as activists adding that are mad will still be held in administrative detention until march. is in israel defense forces reserve officer and he says israel has to protect its citizens. i can tell you and testify form the field that the army do not wake up in the morning look for what looking for what door to break into they have intelligence they do they do beautifully went to that house precisely and you know that a policy to deliberately hide beyond metal doors or human shields like women and children how common is it for the innocent palestinians to be injured by israel i
11:22 am
didn't make any research about how common but i can tell you for sure that it's very common to any jihad islamic activist to hurt liberally innocent people in israel and the job of these early army is not to count innocent palestinian terrorists is only to take care of our citizens and prevent only attempt to kill them deliberately to kill innocent citizens in israel this is the mission over idea of not looking to hurt innocent people we are not waking up in the morning and say oh it's a long time we haven't been in geneva it's time to break it go engine in its intelligence police sites intelligence we when the people truly to find this special they're always we to break to bring them into prison that what we did and we'll proceed to do so we mother brothers to say that the army has now acknowledged
11:23 am
that the raid was actually a mistake that doesn't also want sounds to this to why matt is in jail. well it's a model for the treat every person is a threat so we went to court because of the way the soldiers burst in for ahmed they said his case is classified and accused him of being a member of the islamic jihad movement even though there was nothing against him. he got 6 months in prison and. the israeli army told me that i was injured by mistake a mistake made by one of the soldiers who thought there was someone inside the 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 but 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
11:24 am
a mistake but he was arrested because he'd been arrested before. now the russian president has given a speech on how heart official intelligence can help to transform russia but he did warn you that the technology has to be carefully regulated and hawkins has more than story. 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 all the earmarks to pursue digital transformation of the public administration and should public services to the 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 telecommunications and artificial intelligence and this was of course a key part of his speech today as well in which the president highlighted the need
11:25 am
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 personal 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 sexers 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 leaks should be prevented human rights should unconditionally be observed. now those proposals that the president mention is that they could come as
11:26 am
early as next year or early 2021 while he will put forward proposals to grant ai 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 dollars a. processed 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 also posed opportunities for people to prove themselves and show their versatile qualities so it does seem that the spite all the difficulties that 2020 has posed the need to adapt to the economy very quickly it's also speeding up this process of digitalisation and the country out also speeding up the evolution of. the tech sector and indeed the legislation as well because too much of the rate at which that is progressing. and hawkins reporting that brings up today i guess can have to hop possibly need me here in moscow i tend to get there we've got
