10:10 pm
press and now it's being taken away and the evidence is incredibly flawed speak quite frankly i don't think people are going to be questioning the doctrine policy but i also think journalists so you know a number of people or people are not consenting to release new regulations we've also got a long piece in the column women should be recalled 'd to our debate these things because you have to burn mine lisa sessions or mace very strong are the advice of a small group or the process that we've gotten is that students to. be independently feared a review by other medical. professionals or the more transmissible variant of covert out there neighboring countries are battening down to try and curb the spread france and germany of freezing transport links with the u.k.

in spain testing is found that one in 10 of the population had been infected with covert 19 the scale of this pandemic is hitting home in sweden as well with more deaths this november than any since the spanish flu pandemic over a century ago. and an official investigation into sweden's coronavirus strategy has found that stock must take the blame for its high death rate prompting the swedish prime minister to put out a statement saying the country got its tactics of rome. i think most health officials didn't see such a wave in front of them they spoke about clusters it's not like we weren't prepared for something to happen again but no one could have predicted the strength of it some conclusions have been made about where we could have done better in a week's time families would be coming together across europe to celebrate
10:14 pm
christmas however this year with covert dictating the rules the festive period may well be a lot more distant than we're used to as european leaders to keep contact to a minimum peter all of a party early. and her 1st ever t.v. interview the daughter of iran's former top military chief was given an emotional description of when she found out he'd been murdered the u.s. assassinated general a same sort of mani in a drone strike in january and full of stress like my heart was going out from my chest when i turned on the t.v. and i saw his picture i understand what happened and from that they tell now i am still shocked how is the death of your father brought iran together what happened in iran and iraq was something it's something so special in the history you see how people come to the street and they
10:15 pm
are crying and they are sad and they are angry and they won revenge and they are waiting for an answer because they know what general salim money did for them and they know also well why order to kill my father so so after that after killing my father. america thought that everything will be stopped because they killed general soleimani departure of the middle east but they are so wrong they didn't see the anger of the art in the eyes of iranian people they didn't see their tears they didn't see their sadness and i have to say that generously money has a military from people that they will take revenge from and they are so wrong they are thinking this war will be end the end of general silly money this is the beginning our people are united and they will stand in front of such
10:16 pm
a they just powers. reason sobber attacks on multiple us federal agencies have caused a stir in the news for the last week the us government still not definitively defined who was behind the attacks and members of the incoming bonded ministration a valve to go beyond mere sanctions when the culprit is identified i think in terms of measures that abide in ministration would take it's not just sanctions it's also steps and things we could do to degrade the capacity of foreign actors to repeat this sort of attack or we're still engaged in even more dangerous attacks we don't know fully what happened to the extent of it and frankly we don't know fully for sure who did it joe biden i know we'll have a robust response when we find out the perpetrator and the extent of it i mean while politicians from both major parties alongside us media have already rushed to
10:17 pm
judgment on naming of up a traitor with more on this here's our tease them of course. more russian hacking hysteria leave it to the mainstream media to sneak it in under a month before trump's exit from the white house russia is behind a cyber attack massive cyber attack the brits believed to be the work of the russians russia's massive cyber attack yes the elusive russian hackers whose existence is still a mystery have once again made their entrance into america's political arena this was a very significant effort and i think it's which case that now we can say pretty clearly that it was a russian if that indeed is the most activity the national cyber security agency has yet to lay the blame on anyone entity for breaching several private companies and key u.s. government departments including the treasury homeland security and even nuclear security coming from pompei although the anti russia hysteria is a bit of surprise because his boss seems to think it's just a diversion the cyber hack is far greater in the fake news media than in actuality
10:18 pm
i have been fully briefed and everything is well under control russia russia russia is the priority chance when anything happens because lynching media is for mostly financial reasons petrified of discussing the possibility that it may be shina it may you think after the countless wasted hours since the election hacking accusations of 2016 trying to prove russian collusion with trump trying to find the russian hacker a smoking gun the political establishment might want to try something new but actually this time even the republicans are just as much out for blood as the democrats where the president has a blind spot when it comes to russia and so you can expect that that's the response that he would have the cia the national security administration and others who looked at this well there's no question it's come from russia all indications point to russia for the present united states either tries to deflect or is not willing to call out. the adversary as we make this after a beautician he is not making our country safer for the president to once again so
10:19 pm
see full it's an eerie. go over the presents are going to see what he also suggested when the russians cracked erections in 26 might have been china so what exactly is it that keeps reviving this fear of russian hackers if there was something for people to be scared of surely there would be some evidence of it unless there's other motives at work here this isn't new right this is exactly what us foreign policy has been for decades which is unsubstantiated or just false claims about a foreign country to bend pave the way for some sort of international idiocy and what we're seeing over here is a dangerous echo of that exact same behavior which is assigning blame without any kind of evidence without any kind of backing with no public scrutiny with no transparency of any kind to me it's been used as a distraction and then after the extensive extensive research on russia the every
10:20 pm
kind of legal and and technological scrutiny of russia during after the 2016 election you know there was something there we would have found it the fact that i'll bet an investigation a bad scope turned up basically nothing so just to me that we're looking at a scare tactic not not really a meaningful analysis of a situation. with the us taking over swathes of the german capital also as the shuttle german took a hidden camera to some of the most troubled areas of that city this is what they found.
10:21 pm
the intimidated me a well built young man came into my kiosk i told him to get out but he refused to and they started grabbing me i called the police but they arrived too late so i gave a statement but nothing has changed. if not then you can see them looking out for a potential victim and if somebody is not paying attention they smash their bag or wallets. that i'm open with when i go to the station looking for a dealer i tell him what i need he takes a rubbed elbows out of his mouth the standard price for a job was just $20.00 euros i give him the money and we go our separate ways.
10:22 pm
the most important reason for this drug trafficking is a very lenient city government and they instructed police to turn a blind eye towards the drug dealers and girl except ethnic groups from africa most of them are rejected asylum seekers i'm out of the portage according to them all the activate the africans are acting out and going to some pocket and trying to make a living but damn no early. immigrants looking for decent work but as i said most of them reject could use our instincts and should not be in this country secondly. activities. who are dominating certain areas and. their very very well organized and organized crime and. their word is the law and this happens not just in berlin but also in other cities in germany.
10:23 pm
the u.s. has imposed sanctions on turkey over its purchase of russia's s 400 surface to air missile system an angry president i do and said he thought washington was a friend. butin not just a nato member it is being applied against our country for the 1st time what kind of an alliance is this this decision is an open attack on the sovereign rights of our country turkey is a valued ally and an important regional security partner for the united states and we seek to continue our decades long history of productive defense sector cooperation by removing the obstacle of turkey's s 400 possession as soon as possible of the embargoes target turkey's arms procurement and development body imposing visa restrictions on 4 officials among other things russia's foreign minister says the move breaks international law but it doesn't surprise him that look at this notion of a should move through this is of course another example of arrogance towards
10:24 pm
international law a manifestation of illegitimate unilateral coercive measures that the united states has been using for many years even decades left and right and of course it doesn't increase u.s. or thora t. on the international arena where it is a responsible participant in the international division of labor including military and technical cooperation. well the trumpet ministrations been threatening to punish ever since ankara announced plans to purchase the us 400 system washington's position had been that it's a danger to nato if the move based political analyst who was in that room says it again has plenty of ways to retaliate it's a huge no because we see the americans saying that they want to give diplomacy a chance but throughout this whole s 400 process being acted very commensurately various unilaterally certainly will try to reciprocate and complicate things for the united states bilateral relations and american activity in the region as well
10:25 pm
you can also see by us whether. the producing parts for the f. 35 there's an american president or the air be american president that today if you read our station but i don't think you will take any very aggressive steps right now especially with the new ministry she coming in we've already seen the turkish president called for a review of the sanctions where he told being that they could be lifted. the fundament has changed almost all aspects of life from work and travel to government surveillance but also of us level just think that old ways of doing things are gone for good he's written an article for auntie dot com and also spoke to us giving his vision for the future. that's great if we can save our lives. we were just afraid. to you know perspective now
