democrats called for the removal of. the capitol hill as efficient as a branded domestic terrorist. this is banana republic that we're watching happen this is what you expect to see in a banana republic. american politicians voice shock comparing the fall in some competition hill to the kind of thing that happens in. the republics we look at whether america really is that different from one of those. following the lead of team in facebook. account indefinitely pending future behavior.

still ahead. being underway. hi there thanks for joining us this morning this is. all maneuvers in a bid to oust president trump from office this is after the president and scenes witnessed on capitol hill in which a mob of supporters went on a deadly rampage through the heart of american democracy incited some say by the president himself. i. i.

i. i. i. was sure. you know. how. the president invited me. and you confided to. look.

5 people died as a result of that riot among them a policeman dozens of officers were also injured president trumps condemned what happened and now promises an orderly transition adding this isn't the end for him or his support has. the demonstrators who infiltrated the capitol have defiled the seat of american democracy to those who engage in the acts of violence and destruction you do not represent our country my focus now turns to ensuring a smooth orderly and seamless transition of power and to all of my wonderful supporters i know you are disappointed but i also want you to know that our incredible journey is only just beginning now it's important to note that we heard earlier from joe biden who said that the protesters were domestic terrorists

witness yesterday was not the scent it was not disorder it was not protest it was chaos there were protesters don't dare call them protesters there were a riotous mob insert actionis domestic terrorists democrats are now stepping in and calling for donald trump's in peach mint following yesterday's violence on capitol hill what's happened at the u.s. capitol yesterday was an insurrection against the united states incited by president trump this president's must not told office one day longer i joined a senate democratic leader and calling on the vice president to remove this president by immediately invoking the 25th amendment. in the wake of these deadly attack on the kept 2 in the face of this insurrection we must stick to the must be consequences those consequences must be commensurately with the fence and they must

begin with the president of the united states the rhetoric of joe biden and the democrats about the protesters being terrorists is being echoed by celebrities and it's shameful. to keep calling them protesters. protesters a service people walking around with the flag upside down thinking they're patriotic today was not patriotism today was terrorism and we've got trump supporters who are making light of the situation to some degree and taking a dig at the democrats invoking what happened on capitol hill i'm sure glad that at least for one day i didn't hear my democratic colleagues calling to defund the police so it's important to note for people did die in the scuffles on capitol hill yesterday that seems to be lost amid more divisive rhetoric jokes he did words and calls to remove donald trump and further escalate tensions in the country. in the

way of the rest of the capital some t.v. hosts vented their anger at the rise a.b.c.'s political director for example said in a now deleted tweet that while getting rid of trump isn't difficult cleansing his followers would be a challenge others have accused trump of inciting his supporters violence the president of the united states is clearly a danger and threat to the republic we call them terrorists terrorists mastic terroristic terrorism as a terrorist stronghold joe may * call for the end of the surrender gad's the united states of america you talked about what has he done in terms of incitement right and some of it a lot and we will all remember you because when the cool you and able and you supported us finally melted in your barricaded inside cowering in fear because it finally affects you before the president trying to go up as they were after they were against him from the very beginning i mean it's

a part of the swamp i mean all this rhetoric about then all of those tens of thousands of people down there watching really terrorists it wasn't them they were going to sleep med video i saw today alone nobody in the mainstream media say this video where the washington police were escorting bus loads of people in in-car they were fitting in with the. from supporters to make america great had to and so on and now i believe those people who get in should be arrested and tried but but the rest the vast majority they were not terrorists they were doing it the same thing they were sitting there protesting as it is their right to do under the constitution part of their whole thing is they're trying to keep us quiet this whistleblowers are not letting us get on mainstream media and we've been complaining about they had too many different media so it's not just it's not just what their actions are doing in washington and how they're subverting our constitution they're violating all the constitution in the state their point of view i mean everything that our country is founded on. and it's the democrats doing

the mainstream media regurgitates their life that's why i stopped watching t.v. because you know i'm over here on our t.v. or some other place watching those watching your channels rather to get something honest at least factually reported honestly rather than listen to all the lies and the propaganda and the distortions that they push out on mainstream media t.v. here in us. don't trust been allowed to tweet again have to being locked out of his account for 12 hours the media platform gave the outgoing president a final warning and said that any future violations of twitter's rules would result in a permanent ban meanwhile facebook has extended its suspension of trump's account for at least 2 weeks meaning noble post from trying till power was transferred to joe biden and i would see that the book says the president's latest message posed a threat to u.s. democracy. we believe the risks of allowing the president to continue to use all service during this period is simply too great therefore we are extending the broke

we've placed on his facebook and instagram accounts indefinitely and for at least the next 2 weeks until the peaceful transition of power is complete the social media companies are no longer a little bit restrained by the power of government potentially used against them which was what a donald trump presidency meant he was the one calling the commissions and interrogating what you're seeing now is their perception that trump has lost his power to do anything to them and they're going after him 100 percent this 2 week ban will turn into a permanent ban trump will no longer be seen on facebook or twitter ever again they're going to succeed at limiting conservative opinion from being spread and the result is the social media is going to lose all sense of restraint and do what they have wanted to do for years and that is completely stifle any viewpoint they don't agree with and all of those people in management and ownership are fairly hard leftists and that is going to be the only acceptable to you i think some leftists

will be surprised to find they're on the target list because facebook and twitter are going to be very serious about what opinions they're going to allow on their platforms and some people who are fairly solidly left and have been for years are going to end up getting snapped into their own traps and those people once they get started banning you they ban and ban and ban until one day they'll look around there's nobody left on either one of their platforms but that day is a long time from now in the meantime it's going to get much worse. while all living former u.s. presidents have condemned the violent scene at the capitol barack obama called it a great dishonest and shame for the nation george w. bush branded it an insurrection worthy of a banana republic with him or his our correspondent dr gets there. these scenes a usually an act of desperation i reproved heston's and disenchanted storming parliaments and government palm pounds willed wives from bolivia do good deeds done

what america didn't expect was to find itself on that least this is how elections a disputed in a banana republic not our democratic republic but nona republic usually an unstable country with a huge wealth gap and reliant on the export of limited resources so how could this happen to america a nation that exploited regime change and revolution the new bully we salute the courage and strength of oblivion people who have protested against a government trying to steal an election the united states supports the courageous decision by juan puerto the president of your national assembly to assert that body's constitutional powers declare madeira or your serp or and call for the establishment of a transitional government with 15 weeks of protesters in hong kong as centrist john a staring message to the rest of the world about the trains of freedom and justice

turns out it's not soo fun when it happens to you today was a dark day in the history of the united states capitol witness yesterday was not dissent. it was not disorder it was not protest it was chaos a shameful chris made on our democracy it was an embarrassment and dual sides came out of this looking ugly the right to storming america's quaint temple of democracy the left for pretending they're actually against violent protests despite months of riots and violent b.l.m. demonstrations and fiasco the season the sort of thing that's supposed to happen in america this is banana republic that we're watching happen this is what you expect to see in a banana republic journalists with equally confused a feeling of disbelief seemed to grip them to surreal i feel like i'm talking to

a correspondent reporting from the you know bogota c.n.n. quickly became the subject of ridicule online as they haven't been attempts to storm the colombian parliament in decades twitter also had a stellar movement listing one why do venezuela's self-proclaimed president among the leaders who condemned what happened in capital hill who won by do over the past few years has repeatedly attempted a violent seizure of power attacks an army base and even climbed over the parliament fence him self. what happened will stay in america's record for good this isn't something that you can just forget 4 people dead the halls of congress should and the terrible precedent since we spoke with daniel schorr who's a professor of latin american and caribbean studies he says washington has

tarnished his reputation as a bastion of democracy. these very. pro-american references to a banana republic harkens back to that saddam's of colonialism when the us invaded that eye which is 14 salim's in the beginning of the 20th century they want to project that this is a pristine democracy because how can they justify tensions with. one mosque ownby jame in holcim in city if they don't have their own house in order for us let's be very clear we're talking about a democracy for the plutocrats and technocrats and big capital big money then yes the united states is a democracy if we're talking about democracy by and for the people not by and for the rich the ruling class. in the united states is a disgrace in terms of very serious measure of democracy while vice

president elect camilla harris's tweeted the way the police rang to during the capitol hill rant was very different from how they behaved during the b.l.m. protests that. we witnessed 2 systems of chance to see what we saw what that led extremists stormed the united states capitol. and then after that released tear gas and peaceful protesters that's something. the.

former senate foreign policy adviser jim jatra says father protests is tolerated only in certain cases all along this year we've been seeing great destruction in our cities in the name oprah you know racial justice and so forth and there has been sort of a deferential attitude toward these rights like well these people were upset because george floyd so forth they had been able good calls behind them and i think we see mr bines remarks is not so much an objection to what happened at the capitol yesterday which by the way was nowhere near as destructive as what we've been seeing from black lives matter an anti for all year but rather to demonize the people themselves to say that people who question the conduct of this election and that's what's of fault the cause behind their actions is what's really at fault and i think one with the things we're going to see is they're going to throw the book at anybody was ever identified as going into the capitol here they're going to be prosecutor they're going to be thrown in jail for decades probably in

a way that no complete reverse of what kummel a hero said this was not done to the people we're burning down america's cities this summer. having to official break up about them with more news see that. is your media 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. aura maybe in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. chancellor angela merkel is warm but the most difficult months in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic still lie ahead earlier in the week the country's national lockdown was extended to the end of january germany's also started a mass vaccination program but the rollout has been accused of being too slow and speed is not the only hurdle to getting people in alky lated as they to oliver explains. germany's vaccination program had been criticized for moving at

a glacial pace but once it got under way just over a week ago it was to much fanfare. this is the beginning of the end of the pandemic then we started to see expectations begin to be road back i mean you have delivered 1300000 work seems to the federal sees 200 than 65000 have been vaccinated but you have to take into consideration that there is still room to improve. then turned into angular merkel's government coming in for harsh criticism for the way they've handled this. in the face of the high infection numbers and the dramatic number of deaths it is rights to extend the lock down and we will surely only see a change after we have started properly vaccinating we have excellent vaccination centers but far too few vaccines health minister again spawn has come in 1st something of a roasting in writing this week from his party's coalition partners the social

democrats their leader germany's vice chancellor and finance minister all up schultz demanding to know why it appeared that the country hadn't ordered enough doses of the vaccine other developed nations have ordered significantly higher vaccine quantities in relation to population mr schultz isn't the only one putting the boot in on the angle of merkel's government's handling of this phase of the pandemic there have been further calls from within the ruling coalition for a full investigation at bundestag and european parliamentary level. ms merkel and mr spawn a swore in the oath of office to prevent harm to the german people he had both entrusted the procurement of the vaccines to am it is hundreds of thousands of elderly people and can home staff who are waiting for their vaccines and the european idea itself and now suffering from their failure this scandal must be

cleared up health minister yen spawn insists that enough doses of the vaccine were ordered and that germany having not received them is down to production issues not a lack of preparedness he has made the promise that everyone in germany that wants a vaccine will be able to get worn by the middle of this year despite that promise it's hard to deny that it's not everything has gone smoothly. germany was held office wall of lawyers nations that handled the early phases of the pandemic best but there has been a sharp increase in the number of deaths connected to covert 19 here in recent

weeks and with an election coming up in september everything the current government does is being tracked and traced her all over r.t. . in the u.k. is also struggling with the demick with a new strain of covert tearing through the population in a bid to stem it spread and increase vaccination rate to authorities have decided to increase the gap between the 2 jobs required for an occupation from the usual 3 weeks to 12. in terms of protecting priority groups a model where we can vaccinate twice the number of people in the next 2 to 3 months is obviously much more preferable in public health terms than one where we vaccinate half the number but with only slightly greater protection the studies have shown that in the short term the effectiveness of just one dose of the vaccine is 90 percent the world health organization recently changed its advice regarding vaccines recommending greater flexibility in how they are administered it is

important that such a decision that it presents a safe compromise between the limited global production capacity at the moment and the imperative for governments to protect as many people a sponsible whether reducing the burden of any subsequent of a for the health systems we spoke with the w.h.o. special envoy on covert 19 about the new advice. each time a mutation occurs in a bar s. and they are cursed so but often there will be the possibility of new strains emerging mostly after a mutation the virus just dies but very occasionally it survives and you get a variant the variants that have been discovered are associated with some changes in the part of the virus that scott the spike on it that sticks on to human cells.

lockdown is designed to reduce transmission by reducing contacts and the new variant that is being discovered in kane. is now clearly why widespread is small transmissible so that does mean that if you want to get the same effect from the lock down with the new variant it has to be eban tougher but you know there's a limit as to how tough you could make a lot down in any society without then damaging the society so that's why all governments have really very very tricky choices right now they have to decide to what degree they're prepared to ask their citizens to put up with pain and inconvenience for the sake of getting the transmission to stop.

one position being taken by the u.k. based on the realities of the situation in the u.k. there's another position taken by a group called say in w.h.o. which is based on the protocols that were used for developing the back saying and that difference is ok any government has the right to say of a back seeing the day will adopt the. basic rules for its use because of some circumstances inside the country. and that's what's happened in new k. in their guidance for how they're going to be used they have shifted from what was in the original trial specification for the vaccine the w.h.o. has not come out saying that is a desirable thing to do as is correct but it sounds time the people involved in the w.h.o. devise

a very clear that sometimes governments will adopt their own rules because they have to. numerous key technologies are set to further disrupt 2021 according to the center for innovating the future it claims the new tech is changing the very structure of business industry politics on society. how will a i make decisions and what could i do decisions will make regarding people's skin color or gender or religion or social economic status.

or knowledge of companies have become just as important in government and this is illegal to grow in the future with jersey who literally it uses social media everything in their lives and when it comes to all it takes will be using social media even more. every nation right now wants to become a technology and to do that you have to attract this column in the world of talent engineers scientists. but. when you look at designer babies you look at the idea that very soon to be personality with the skin color or the i.q. of your children this these kind of people believe these are going to push

countries in very different orders and that again the established rules based order gets disrupted ready. ok i'll be back in the very immediate future with updates and on top stories in. mancini's order his love bitcoin accomplishes and do you understand it brings spontaneous order because it's the hardest money ever in history humans gold did a fairly decent job for many years thousands of years but it got entirely financial ice in 2008 and spent relegated to the status.

i got this 8 millimeter film purely by accident. time period 963 to 65 place damascus. i was old don't know why young. i've watched it many times a man posing the monuments an old poster of the hollywood premiere of town without pity and a fight in a mock so with bruises. i had my doubts if i should waste my time on this but i came back to that film over and over again tracing a sequence of events happening in syria at that time and most of those who worked there the word on the review. which was hidden you know neal curiosity is like a petrol motion machine did lives on without a lunch break and then suddenly i saw him stop let's take another look now at low

speed this is key like 0 on a super spy who some consider a national hero and others and evil villain an israeli double o. 7. i need because it's blood some money at the. at the one you're still. going to. blow.
