10:01 am
the topic you. are seeing here is from roger stone a former advisor to donald trump and one of the president's closest allies who thinks the crackdown by social media giants is pushing the u.s. into dangerous territory. for the 1st time in the history of our country we have the censorship of all mass communications. watching arts international bring you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program we start with breaking news from indonesia a passenger plane is believed to have crashed with at least 62 people on board soon after takeoff from jakarta officials are saying that the boeing 873-7500 appears to have gone down near an island in the java sea more than 7 hours ago we can now cross live to our team is rome on the cross for us for the details on that now
10:02 am
indonesian officials have been giving some updates on the incident bring us up to date absolutely this is the 1st we've heard from the indonesian officials there transport minister at this point has already confirmed that flights as jay one is indeed missing. and it is believed to have crashed in java sea on saturday now the plane itself was on route to poncy amec from the capital of indonesia jakarta with 62 people on board that's why all of them were crew members and 50 passengers of whom 7 were children the we have some details as to how it might have happened the aircraft lost more than 7000 feet off altitude within a single minute before disappearing from their radar and it was up in the air for 4 minutes now earlier posts in social media showed
10:03 am
a local fisherman. with what they claimed to be boards of the missing aircraft now indonesia's transport ministry has already announced that a search and rescue operation and investigation are already underway there are currently at least 7 coast guard vessels in the area performing the operation now flight rater 24 out has indicated that the plane was indeed a boeing 737500 series down relatives all of the passengers are now gathering both arrival and departure airports trying to find out any information they can about their relatives and loved ones who have seen the footage should have seen video how people are trying to cling to their phones and. really in the distressed state trying to find out what exactly happened to their
10:04 am
religious and friends now in tunisia saw an air disaster in these that waters back in october off 2018 just a little over 2 years ago. it was also a domestic flights and it's suffered a crime. ship into the java sea on board were $189.00 passengers. thank you for staying across the latest on that for us. now we're going to cross live now to is even our under our air friend the director of abia tory to talk further about this story obviously we don't have very much information right now but it's also been several hours since this plane has dropped off the radar what do you think might have brought this plane down. using new thanks for having me we have not yet a certain on the probable cause of the missing or the crash site so as you know the
10:05 am
national transportation safety board and also the ministry of transportation have confirmed that the plane has met into crash but this appeared to him from the radar several hours ago the weather across the job especially in a couple city and its vicinity have been overcast which like raining all day so he has not been a very friendly friend environment at all in the skies but we have not yet been able to determine as of the cost just yet but as mentioned before and the altitude loss during the last phase of the flight had been very drastic in less than 15 seconds from the altitude of 11000 and the speed that increase as shown from the flight radar applications have shown a great increase in speed so we have not yet been able to determine just yet and circuits still going right now but it looks like because of the limited
10:06 am
circumstances namely proceed really everyone even in the morning tomorrow. as you mentioned there was that drastic drop in altitude but air traffic controllers in indonesia and also australia have said no distress signal was sent by the pilots before the plane disappeared can anything be concluded from that. unfortunately at this point we cannot really conclude any factors are leading toward the final seconds but ok in case he did national investigation board have announced that they also have not received or have not received emergency beacon from the emergency locator transmitter or. from on board the plane there at risk of distress call this meeting by the pilots and as you can believe that a trend in the application itself shows that the plane was still on a very slowly stable climb as you would expect from from that part of procedure but then a change of direction or or
10:07 am
a heading of the seen in the radar before the craft come to complete loss. if it's confirmed that this was an accent will further questions be asked about indonesia's air safety record. a moment of the questions surely that would be there will be one of the questions being raised of course especially as i mentioned before you've seen the live the lead in the latest crash or latest video incidents all was 2018 lying in a crash which also the place nearby the facility where those who were playing this loss but moreover more questions will also be asked about maintenance i imagine and all sort of priest procedures are being taken and of course as we as you guys move forward and more of the evidence being taken i'll especially that contains data such as the flight data recorder the f.b.i. and also the cockpit voice recorder will eventually in time reveal what actually happened what the accident. many people will remember that last major crash that
10:08 am
involved the airline air airline as you mention. that was another low cost airline as was the case with the plane today are these airlines up to the standards of major international carriers. yes maintenance standards have been since 2009 when the when the declaration of the of the air transportation decreed by the president have been more stringent and in previous years and we've seen an improvement in safety standards we've taken by each individual operators and airlines and i especially in the maintenance out of spec so we have we have no idea whether this is a maintenance issue or any other factors but. maintenance standards have been improved although we are still seeing in very few cases where that's the need to be missed in many aspects especially if you talk about smaller operations in the areas where maintenance is is often overlooked but in case of major airlines including the low
10:09 am
cost there have been major improvements in the past 10 years alone as even the offend present director of a real tory in unusual thank you for sharing your expertise with us and you for your time. twitter has reimposed its ban on present tromp this time not making it permanent a social networking service sorry at the risk of further incitement of violence until now donald trump had used twitter as his primary means of communicating with the public he had 88000000 followers and since taking office he's tweeted over 24000 times his record is 200 tweets and retreats an exciting the day but for the platform violating its rules again was the last straw. has more. 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
10:10 am
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 has a serious mistake the ayatollah can tweets but trump can't says a lot about the people who run twitter silence and 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 cards 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
10:11 am
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 for silicon valley companies to stop enabling this monstrous behavior and go in further than they have already by pendley banning this man from their platforms and put in place 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 of course 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
10:12 am
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 cool he 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 expletive. regime change revolution democracy worldwide and now this is happened in their own country.
10:13 am
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. 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. live off of
10:14 am
human rights laura dan koblick so no donald trump on facebook or twitter these platforms move in the correct. i don't think so i am very disturbed by this in addition by the way i saw that so some people say well then go to parlor but apparently now apple and google or threatening to kick parlor off their platforms. i think it's very disturbing look i am not a fan of donald trump i don't support donald trump i voted for joe biden i'll just get that out there at the same time he is an important political figure he got something like 75000000 votes in the last election for these companies that actually are public utilities is what they are they should be treated as such . to not only deny him a current platform but to delete. all of his.
10:15 am
tweets for example from the last 4 years as president they're destroying a record historic record of the presidency. it's just irving in in as again as a person on the left myself. i know that these types of sites are ship tactics will be used more against the left than against the right so i don't you know people are mistaken if because they don't like trump they're happy this is happening this is going to come home against us it is going to be used to curb dissent. again more from the left and from the right well and along the same lines is it possible that his base his supporters are now going to say look what they did to him this is just going to end up spurring them on. well i think so yeah and again that's one of the reasons that we have
10:16 am
a robust free speech in this country and in other countries because we understand that when people are able to a or their views their opinions their frustrations. sometimes that you know allows them to you know to vent their anger in a positive way again in terms of speech rather than through violence i understand that all of it doesn't always work that way but yes what's going to happen is people are going to feel. attacked and silenced and i think the result of that is going to be bad well and this comes as tech giants are already being accused of abusing their monopoly position it could these moves by facebook and twitter does feel those allegations. why absolutely again in particular that now there are these groups are going after other platforms like like parlor yeah absolutely it and again they're doing it to the applause
10:17 am
of of liberals in this country which is quite incredible and again i think what you're going to see is more and more censorship and again people are going to be very disappointed in the end as to who's being censored i've plenty of leftist colleagues who've been censored on these platforms and you'll see plenty of that we've been speaking with done koblick human rights lawyer that your time on your comments. thank you very much r.c. earlier spoke with long time republican strategist and trump ally roger stone so was convicted of lying to congress on the witness tampering and 2019 but he was pardoned by trump last year he believes 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 it is broadcast television network
10:18 am
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 and 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 you can watch the full interview with roger
10:19 am
stone on our to america's at the press and on line at portable t.v. i will trump isn't the only victim of the big tech boycott however twitter has taken down the account of former national security advisor michael flynn extra employers to me powell and other high profile supporters of the president glenn and paul both met with trump in the white house in recent weeks as parts of the effort to overturn the presidential election result you tube has joined in and ban terms former chief strategist steve bannon mexican president under as obrador has expressed concerns over the power of social networks to silence and censor what they want. goli look what happened a few days ago in the united states is a bet sign private companies decide whom to silence and censor this does not bode well and restricts freedom which. we discussed the issue with julio rare editorial director of reactionary times dot com and frederick bindy a professor of political science. there is
10:20 am
a feline i mean freedom of speech is guaranteed. to violence that is a completely different thing what they're doing is 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 censor a speech that you don't agree with and that is contrary to the spirit of the 1st amendment in america and contrary to the spirit of free speech the problem with social 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 it's own with i haven't felt 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
10:21 am
the problem is not the election the problem is that trump addressed these people and did them too much on the capital and these intimidation the guy lost with peace and condition there's nothing wrong with marching about what was more on that was not there for he didn't write it and then 906 i was not a peaceful prophet i don't call that peaceful 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. the. new year's eve they actually took the reactionary times facebook channel away and i'm afraid if you extrapolate that to a larger sense are they going to suddenly start or the platforming stations carry people like rush limbaugh. sean hannity all the major conservative talk voices in
10:22 am
america are they going to be silent 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 to 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 the trend incited to hate and violence he says nothing to do in concert but you're not you know only it was a big difference between the way the media treated president barack obama the way they treated president trouble and i think we're already seeing that slate going back toward allow labarre to see what are the rate cuts that it's that abide look if you say that president trample was treated differently than that obama you have to give me the facts the numbers i did not ask and were 9 lives at last i'm right yours don't you want to t.v. in the last 4 years how could you say either we're not treated differently even. in

the wake of the riots the american flag was flown at half mast over the capitol in washington on friday it was in honor of a policeman who was fatally injured during the storming of the building is the 5th person to have died as a result of the riots and a murder investigation is expected to be opened. thanks. hungry has lashed out at the e.u. over what it sees as its tardy efforts at procuring a vaccine the country has broken ranks with brussels by entering job negotiations with russia china and israel are to support are all over explained. the commission president is on the phone 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
10:24 am
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's that 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
10:25 am
e.u. commission says that their plan will provide enough vaccine to cover 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 that in britain 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 treatment vaccine use it will be rolled out on monday across the e.u. alongside the pfizer high on take a back seat feature all over r.t. early. the coronavirus situation and france shows no signs of easing up either as
10:26 am
authorities extend restrictions are in place across the country the move comes to the dismay of many business owners who are concerned about their futures while the difference he has the details. wrong 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 see it and she just said 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 their full call 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 boers restaurants cultural places all hoped to be opening in the next 2 weeks
10:27 am
probably that's now been pushed back with mid february looking more likely another blow to a sector which says it is all new 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 in revenue it's a time when people come in and try things so as a bakery clients no longer come in but nutritionally that we need 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 roys 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
10:28 am
its vaccination campaign and there will be $600.00 soldiers open by the end of january but is also struggling to convince the many citizens that they need to have the jab. and i wish my dentist so far as it is important to shore calling patients that fixing nation makes sense if you want to stop the pandemic 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 later when they turn comes to protect themselves and to protect the french population as a whole. we're committed to having the vaccine as soon as possible is

a decisive step in the nationwide to attempt to control the pandemic. as new code rape cases registered remain around the 15000 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 one 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.
10:30 am
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 in forced. spend your news wrap up for now but i'll be back at the top of the hour with the latest thanks for tuning in. mancini's order is a 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 as 2008 ever spent a rather dated status.
