by social media giants is pushing the u.s. into dangerous territory. for the 1st time in the history of our country we have. all my communications. indonesian passenger jet is believed to have crashed into the java sea with 62 people on board including 7 children contact was lost during a flight from jakarta to borneo. just after 10 pm in doha in. and here in the russian capital welcome to r.t. my names you know neal our top story. twitter reimposed its ban on president trump this time making it permanent the social networking service cited the quote risk of further incitement of violence on to large use twitter as his primary means of
2:02 pm
communicating with the public 88000000 followers since taking office he's tweeted over 24000 times his record is 200 tweets and retreats in a single day but twitter and facebook. he must be silenced there are platforms with more and. 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
2:03 pm
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 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 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
2:04 pm
monstrous behavior and go then further than they have already by patently banning this man from their platforms and putting 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 the force 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 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
2:05 pm
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 has happened 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
2:06 pm
like they obviously feel that donald trump towards the end of his presidency that you know 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 tech billionaires who now see it within their power to ban the president of the united states from from from their platform. would a long time republican strategist trump our live roger simon a little earlier now he was convicted of lying to congress witness tampering in 2019 and pardoned by president trump last year still insists 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
2:07 pm
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 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
2:08 pm
roger stone on our team or because the press and online of portable dot t.v. now donald trump isn't the only victim of the big tech boycott twitter has taken done the accounts of former national security advisor michael flynn extra employee sidney paul another profile supporters of the american leader you tube as joined in . the president's former chief strategist as well steve mexican leader undress obrador has expressed concerns over the power of social networks to shut down and censor whoever they want. goli what happened 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 restricts freedom which is why i discussed the issue with a very editorial director of reactionary times dot com 1st federica bindy a professor of political science. there is a feline i mean freedom of speech is guaranteed. invitation to violence
2:09 pm
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 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 without if you felt you're going if you're taking it there and yeah i think i'll hear i and i you you one of the one who said that there were nazi symbols with time
2:10 pm
i didn't the problem is not the election the problem is that trump addressed these people and did them too much on the capital and this is intimidation the guy lost with peace and conditional 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 process i don't call that preschool 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 to 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 the platforming stations carry people like rush limbaugh. sean hannity all the major conservative talk boyce's in
2:11 pm
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 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 i repeat that trump incited to hate and violence he says nothing to do in concert but he does nothing only was a big difference between the way the media treated president barack obama the way they treated president trauma and i think we're already seeing that slant going back towards allow labarre to leslie what do the rate was that he 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 were 9 lives have a laugh i'd rather err they don't want to t.v. in the last 4 years how could you say like they were not treated differently even
2:12 pm

2:16 pm
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 rate or $24.00 out has indicated that the plane was indeed a boeing 737500 series down relatives 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 the video how people are trying to cling to their phones and. really in the distressed state trying to find out what exactly happened to

2:18 pm
shots are being given in russia argentina beller routes and serbia but libya has approved its emergency use russian developers have also signed contracts to ship that vaccine to india mexico and egypt productions going global 2 aside from brazil and russia hundreds of millions of doses will be produced in india and south korea meanwhile argentina has reported got 99 percent of patients shown no side effects after receiving the russian jump we asked molecular on cola just lawrence young about findings. if you look at other studies particularly with the types of virus vectors and see in both the book the astra zeneca on for the vaccine in the rush of vaccine then you do tend to see you know sometimes up to 3040 percent of people having some slight some slight effects some soreness at the side of injection and perhaps a couple of days of a mild headache a bit of muscle fatigue so one percent is actually of a very good result what we've heard about the russian vaccine is that it's very
2:19 pm
effective and it's really encouraging that the bar the that that the virus vector is being distributed around the globe the are in a vaccine is a very very expensive and what we i think we have a responsibility and it's so good to see that the russian vaccine is being distributed around the globe and i think that should also be the case for these are the vaccines we should all do our best particularly rich countries the world to countries to make sure that the vaccine is getting to every where possible meanwhile hungry has lost the european union over what it sees a slow efforts in procuring vaccines the country has broken ranks with brussels by entering important to russia china and israel or europe correspondent peter all of our takes up the story. 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
2:20 pm
is as $27.00 we do this together and a 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 banksy 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
2:21 pm
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 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 freshie 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 truth would do. if i see that use it will be rolled out on monday across the e.u. alongside the files that take sci fi to all of that. ok

from peter in the german capital to fronts where the crisis is showing no sign of letting up there are a run to 1000 new cases have been registered every day recently restrictions they were tightened across the country this week career remember he ping pressure on business owners. 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 cause and come to return to normal was to meet one person to intensive care every 7 minutes and one and 2 people in intensive care their focal the 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 few
2:23 pm
weeks probably that's been pushed back with 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 the 5 they want to have wandered around so the situation has now been complicated. this 2 hour difference has a serious effect on revenue it's the time when people come in and try things so as a bakery clients don't want to come in but nutritionally doesn't mean 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 roy's in a new variant that was detected last month in the u.k.
2:24 pm
variant is said to spread much faster now the government says it's stepping up its vaccination campaign and there will be $600.00 so does open by the end of january but is also struggling to convince the many citizens that they need to have. the cherub. and i wish him a dentist so for us it is important to shore calling sendo patients that fixing nation makes 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 inoculated when their turn comes to protect themselves and to protect the french population as a whole. we're
2:25 pm
committed to having the vaccine as soon as possible is a decisive step in the nationwide to term to control the pandemic. as new code 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 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
2:26 pm
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 who 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 1st. the masks and all the precautions in general there to reinforce. if you're in the mood to for a delving deeper into any of those stories i can recommend r t dot com as a solid destination fresh developments tough debates always to be followed and there by from. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race in the spirit of dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit
2:27 pm
down and talk. the way of life for reindeer herding is leading a traditionally nomadic lifestyle. is similar to a parallel reality. that the men drive the women carry the weight of the household look on their shoulders and show them with their one also left. thank you however in the vast expanse of russia there. were housewives could secure regular employment status it's in the final.
2:28 pm
time after it and see and welcome to going underground the team and i will be back with a brand new season starting on my birthday january 30th but it will then we will be showing some of your favorite shows from this season going up in this show what will the expansion into space mean for war and capitalism going underground speaks to the western world's most famous astrophysicist neil de grasse tyson about the past and future of humanity when it comes to conflict coronavirus and conspiracies all the more coming up in today's going underground in the week of u.k. chancellor eastern expending review which seeks to balance the books as u.k. prime minister boris johnson touts the largest military investment since the cold
2:29 pm
war allegedly an attempt to woo incoming u.s. president elect joe biden the 16000000000 pounds of funding will go towards among other things and you are a if space command so why are the countries hit hardest by coronavirus instead focusing on preparing for conflict among the stars joining me now to talk over 1000 in the new cold war space race is the western world's most famous astrophysicist neil de grasse tyson neil thanks so much for coming on what a privilege it is before i get say any of that i have to say given that millions of people have watched your t.v. programs if there are people out there who come from disproportionately socio economically vulnerable groups how on earth can their interest in the stars translate to becoming like you not only a communicator but a research or an innovator when it comes to science that's an important question and a lot depends on what kind of what is this system that surrounds you so for example there are many countries where if you spot someone who is either. puir but it's
2:30 pm
like reading math books and physics books and they're like in the street doing that there are many countries where some will say hey we need to provide an opportunity for that person because 2 things are going on 1st it would be good for the person but deep down you know it's better for the system if everybody rises to that their potential not only the potential that they can achieve but the potential of their ambitions and without a system to connect those with ambitions to where they land you've got nothing and brilliant people end up staying suppress in your society and basically at the end of the day your society goes nowhere ok meant why is your country doing so badly when it comes to coronavirus i mean i can give the obvious answers but i think what we're really after are deeper insights into people's conduct and in the united states we like thinking of ourselves.
