thinks. we should ask. an unprecedented display of authority by big tech social media sites move to purge the u.s. president and some of his supporters from the platforms now banned from twitter permanently over how his tweets might be received and interpret. what they're doing is they're going out and expressing our message that it's ok to go ahead in a certain sort of speech if you do not agree with the problem is that trantor address to speak will and you talk to them too much on the capital.

t. his from former advisor to donald trump and one of the president's closest allies for just so he believes it's part of a wider trend. for the 1st time in the history of our country we have the censorship of all the communications. the news the hunger in prime ministers lashed out at what is called the e.u. slow efforts to roll out mass vaccination saying the country's been in talks with suppliers not approved by the bloc. thanks so much for joining us this is r.t. international. big tech is flex its muscles who social media networks purging the us president and some of his supporters from the platforms for example twitter has permanently suspended president account citing quote the risk of further incitement to violence donald trump used to it. to directly communicate with his 88000000

followers since he assumed office he's tweeted more than 24000 times is read chord 200 tweets and read tweets in a single day but for the platform violating its rules again was the last straw auntie's correspondent as details. censorship is now under the purview of tech jobs and their billionaire owners who now get to decide bad in the president of the united states and get to decide who talks about what and how they talk about it we are living in all wells 19 eighty-four free speech no longer exists in america it died with big and what's left is only there for a chosen few this is absolute insanity to it it may ban me for this but i'm willing to accept the fate your decision to permanently ban president trump is a serious mistake the ayatollah can tweets but trump can't says

a lot about the people who run twitter silencing people not to mention the president of the us is what happens in china not our country this was seemingly a coordinated effort across platforms of all cause discord twitched with things book instagram snap chat they've they've all removed trump and you know this is this is something that many had been calling for for years many on the left especially you know they wanted trump's voice silence they saw it as destructive they sort of even mullard but it had never come to that because this is after all the president of the united states you'd think a certain amount of respect is jew but now that he's gone an awful lot of people are very happy now is the time of a silicon valley companies to stop enabling this monstrous behavior and go even further than they have already by permanently but in this matter from their platforms and put it in policies to prevent their technology from being used by the

nation's leaders to fuel insurrection donald trump spent years demagoguing lying spreading hate and propagating conspiracies and sweeter and divorce inciting violence social media companies have allowed this vile content to fester for too long and need to do much more. but banning him is a good start there's no under estimating the impact the significance and symbolism of what happened on capitol hill these tech jobs and their billionaire owners decided to interpret trump's words and tweets as cooling for these these protesters to storm capitol hill he didn't he didn't truly called for a march and then he condemned what happened this isn't something that can be a race this isn't something that can be forgotten this is a president it has now happened this is the united states we're talking about a country which is made a business of expletives. regime change revolution democracy worldwide and

now this is happening in their own country. these censorship is entirely selective it is it is targeting conservatives and republicans and very few others so far but you know if they if they can get away with targeting them what's to stop them from doing for others that they don't like they obviously feel that donald trump towards the end of his presidency that you know there's there's nothing he can fight back with and they're just just

letting it out it wasn't the f.b.i. or the cia were tasked with securing america wasn't the pentagon which defends america that decided that donald trump must be removed it was billionaires was ted billionaires who now see it within their power to ban the president of the united states from from from their platform. auntie's the press spoke to long time republican strategist and just don't envy president granted clemency launching a name and a stunning was convicted of lying to congress on the witness tampering in 2019 he says the suppression of conservative voices has gone too far. for the 1st time in the history of our country we have the censorship of all mass communications whether it is whether is broadcast television network television whether it is cable whether it is print media or whether it is the internet there is one overwhelming fraudulent narrative being forced on the american people and that

created the atmosphere in which legitimate compelling i would say overwhelming evidence of voter fraud in cyber manipulation of the vote was dismissed as conspiracy theory people who want to be in silence others that simply means that they cannot win a fact based debate that they're not interested in honest electoral competition or a battle of ideas they have no ideas other than central control and socialism rather than doing away with our constitutional rights and now what we see is an effort to take what happened tragically at the capitol and use it as an excuse to curtail our civil liberties even further this is a dangerous dangerous slope for america. and you can watch the full interview with roger stone on r.t. america is in the press and also online portable t.v. . donald trump isn't the only victim though of the big tech boycott twitter's gone

further and moved the accounts of former national security advisor michael flynn extra month lawyer sidney powell and other high profile supporters of the president clinton power both met with trump at the white house in recent weeks as part of efforts to overturn the presidential election results youtube's joined the trend and band trump's former chief strategist steve bannon mexican president and the result of dora's expressed concern over the power of social networks to silence and censor who they want. what was done a few days ago in the united states is a bad sign private companies decide whom to silence and censor this does not bode well and is contrary to freedom. we discuss the issue with who you are to vera editorial director of reactionary times dot com federica bindi who's a professor of political science there is a feline i mean freedom of speech is guaranteed. invitation to violence that is a completely different thing what they're doing is that they're going ahead and

expressing a message to the american people and to a lot of these other silicon valley giant that it's ok to go ahead and send sort of a speech that you don't agree with that is contrary to the spirit of the 1st amendment in america and contrary to the spirit of free speech the program was such a media is that they have to comply with the french rules for instance in many european countries hate speech hyland speech you know nancy nancy seem bolds those that are dying not from crimes that are advertised on its own and if you built you're going if you're taking it there and yet i think i'll hear. you one of the one who said that there were nazi symbols with time i didn't the problem is not the election the problem is that trump addressed his people and i did them too much on the capital and this is intimidation the guy lost with peace and police and

there's nothing wrong with the church you know that's what it was more on that was not that he's going to write about it and then 206 i was not a peaceful process i don't recall that priest will process one that you know smashes windows get inside you know what if if that happened on the new york shots that were fired. that there was the police didn't respond soon enough and strong enough i'm very afraid because i just got the platform go off with you to. new year's eve they actually took the reactionary times facebook channel away and i'm afraid if you extrapolate the. to a larger sense are they going to suddenly start or d. platforming stations did kerry people like rush limbaugh sean hannity all the major conservative talk boyce's in america are they going to be silenced suddenly you know all the rules are changing and they're changing in real time you have a democratic party which is shown

a lot of tendencies which lean towards fascism now have absolute power they have the house they have the senate and they have the white house where does it and the moment is really tensed and the problem is and they repeat that trend incited to hate and violence he says nothing to do in concert he says nothing only was a big difference between the way the media treated president barack obama the way they treated president trump and i think we're already seeing that slant going back towards a lot of the regular let's see what you've already got that it's that abide look if you say that president trample was treated differently then than obama you have to give me the facts the numbers i did not ask were 9 lies have a laugh i'd rather err. t.v. in the last 4 years how could you say that there were not treated differently even me. we want the u.s. flag was flown at half mast on the capitol building in washington on friday in honor of a policeman who died from injuries he received guarding the building from protesters

he's the 5th person to have died as a result of that riot the federal murder of discussion is expected to be opened into the case so we'll keep you posted on any developments. the bodies of 3 people including a child have been recovered from an avalanche that engulfed around 6 buildings this was at a local ski resort in the russian city of no risk located inside the arctic circle earlier a teenage boy being pulled from the snow he's said to be in critical condition in hospital authorities have warned of the risk of more avalanches in the area with local roads closed as a precaution his office is open an investigation following its. minister has lost patience with the slow pace of the easy vaccine program and started talks with alternative providers i'll explain to the prank.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development that only. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. welcome back hungary has lashed out at european union over what it sees as being tardy efforts of procuring a vaccine the country's broken ranks with brussels entering job negotiations with russia china and israel peter oliver explains. the e.u. commission president of the fund the line is struggling to keep the states in line when it comes to vaccines she's warned the nations not to try and do their own deals the only framework we are negotiating in is as $27.00 we do this

together and nonmember state on this legal binding basis is allowed to negotiate in parallel or to have a contract and parallel the loudest voice unhappy at brussels being in sole charge of vaccine procurement is coming from hungary with prime minister viktor orban saying the current plan could lead to months more of a lock down if we only rely on western vaccines the restrictions will have to be maintained for several more months if we can find a safe and proven vaccine elsewhere we can speed up the process mr obama said was budapest to be able to choose its own deals i don't think we have to wait for the vaccine as part of the union we agreed that we'd wait but the process is going so slowly that i think it's time to act and get the vaccine ourselves all the vaccines that have been tried in other countries have to be considered so in addition to the west we are also negotiating with the israelis the chinese and the russians the

e.u. commission says that their plan will provide enough vaccine to cope but everyone in the e.u. and then some of the whole portfolio covers $2300000000.00 doses of vaccine so this is more than enough to vaccinate the whole european population ever the euro skeptic in the block the hungarian prime minister also pointed to a fresh she breaks it in britain and the vaccine program there is something to emulate the british instead of letting brussels do its negotiated for themselves and are in a much better position now earlier in the week the new approved the u.s. money fund truth my dear. if i see the use it will be rolled out on monday across the e.u. alongside the buy buy on take sci fi to all of that r.t. early. the coronavirus situation in france shows no sign of easing as authorities

extend restrictions already in place across the country the move comes to the dismay of many businesses who are concerned about their future he has more. france remains under couvade restrictions the border with the u.k. will also remain closed for the moment for all but essential travel reasons the prime minister confirming what many fear that. the time because income to return to normal was to meet one person to intensive care every 7 minutes and one in 2 people in intensive care there focal that 90. that means the curfew currently set at 8 pm in most parts of france will continue at least for the next few weeks while a further 10 departments saying there could be tightened that will not start at 6 pm borders restaurants cultural places all hoped to be opening in the next 2 weeks

that's now been pushed back with february looking more likely another blow to a sector which says it is all move verge of collapse. from 5 to 7 pm where people leave work so there's obviously a lot of turnover because when people leave at 5 they want to have a wonder round so the situation has now been complicated. this 2 hour difference has a serious effect on revenue it's a time when people come in and try things so as a bakery clients no longer come in but me to 85 percent of our sales revenue between $5.00 and 7 pm so there's a restaurant we try and get by we're now being hit even harder so we look for new solutions to survive front which has been criticised for being slow to roll out the vaccine program again 19 is also seeing a rise in a new variant that was detected last month in the u.k. that variant is said to spread much faster now the government says it's stepping up

its vaccination campaign and there will be $600.00 centers open by the end of january but is also struggling to convince the many citizens that they need to have the. yeah. and i wish we i'm a dentist so far as it is important to shore call and say no patients that works in nation make sense if you want to stop them endemic we need to go through this it doesn't hurt and who have total trust in our scientists and those who created this vaccine so i call and never want to get you know he laid it when their turn comes to protect themselves and to protect the french population as a whole. we are committed to having the vaccine as soon as possible is a decisive step in the nationwide to attempt to control the pandemic.

as new covert cases registered remain around the $15000.00 mark on a daily basis in france the government appears to be struggling with how to make a dent in a virus that said to have already claimed tens of thousands of lives. this virus like all viruses in general is constantly mutating all of its varieties both the one that was identified in the u.k. and the one that was noted in south africa could also go through the path of mutation as a result the virus becomes more infectious meaning it spreads faster not more powerful but more contagious but this may well happen in france in the case of those who have not traveled either to the u.k.

or south africa do not know anyone who would associate themselves with these so-called patients 0 so in the end the mutated virus is more or less infectious wish justifies the control measures the restrictions the masks and all the precautions in general that are reinforced. the pandemic is spelled disaster for many business is not only in france but right around the world we spoke to some business owners about the challenges they're facing. if there is nothing prepares we will be shutting down probably by march that's a realistic look i'll grant you love to read about 50 employees you know it's hard to put on a good face for my saw to make them think everything's ok but sometimes it's really hard. lots lots of stuff police it's just the just the nature of based. on haven't made any redundancies personally everybody's kind of been on furlough up on travel you know at the end of the day so much so i want to

look at the stats this is it this looks you know we'll try and get through it like everybody will and if it goes on another year how do you expect anybody to survive . it's. been done it made many people turn to online shopping spelling the disaster for long term earners like me look at the clothing sector has been hit particularly badly because we haven't had many states of. hosting the market. again but economically speaking only were able to raise and legal and we had hoped to follow losses during christmas just like the government can just tell process is eating us out of the blow. of our clients hotels restaurants shelters and event businesses which have been

heavily impacted by the restrictions some of our clients are holding out but we don't know how much longer think in large cities the most difficult thing is not being able to plan ahead right now the big problem is the cash flow like a lot of our play is they're a bit like us so they don't have any cash so. they could pay and suppose you've taken a very we don't have any cash we can apply so it kind of. some more world news in brief this saturday a major brazilian football clubs put forward at stadium to be used as a mass covert vaccination center and previously being converted into a makeshift hospital for coronavirus patients mass immunization is set to kick off in sao paolo at the end of the month the venue which is home to corinthians hosted a number of future world cup matches in 2014. santiago hundreds of protesters rallied for the release of political prisoners and
