violence that we saw at the capitol hill riot last wednesday they've also objected at the way companies like facebook and twitter have denied president trump access to their websites as far as these european leaders a concent those tech companies don't have the right to be able to decide who has a voice and who doesn't speak to the chancellor considers a problematic with the accounts of the u.s. president has now been permanently blocked but there's also concern in france over the power tech companies have shown that they have and you know banishing the person silencing them on social networks which has become a form of public space seems to me a complicated matter in the absence of specifically established criteria digital regulation should not be done by the digital or the go cute self regulation of the
3:06 am
digital spheres amounts of sovereign people governments and the judiciary where the e.u. commissioner for internal market terry baton who's long been a big voice calling for more regulation on tech companies described the capitol hill riot last wednesday as the $911.00 moment of social media as far as mr brereton is concerned after that and the fallout on social media and the banning of president trump nothing can be the same again. the food the c.e.o. compiled the plug on poets is loud speaker without any checks and balances is perplexing the oldest emotions in his proof that a powerful brigley to digital space reminiscent of the wild west has a profound impact on the very foundations of our modern democracies well take companies have make themselves a target for more regulation in the european union following the banning of a sitting u.s. president from their platforms terry bret tom went on in

a op ed that he published to say that there's 2 key bits of legislation in the european union that were tabled last december that could well well put tighter reins on tech companies and what is being published on their platforms. you are mean times not only world politicians rights groups are also warning that the band could be a slippery slope and as our taylor explains there's apparently a growing disconnect between the values that washington preaches and current developments across the country. america the land of the free people i've met in china and russia and afghanistan and iraq and other places who yearn for freedom and who look to this building and these shores as a place of hope the american people and the greatest democracy the world has ever known this temple to democracy over the policy a few decades the u.s. has been busy exporting its brand of democracy all over the world but it looks like

that don't start after untold damage has been done changing these dentures dynamics requires more than just the temperature silencing or permanent removal of bad actors from social media platforms and just like a paranoid dictate is convinced he's surrounded by enemies big taxis by doctors of free while trump loyalists annoy is leading the election for claims right wing talk show hosts all sense that the story looked because apparently that clinton got michael voters riled up enough to storm the capital now. duct taping trump and a few of his cronies is one thing but what to do about the 75000000 americans who've raylene like red caps now we need to on brainwash and reeducate about 71000000 voters and their children who follow trump supporters need to rejig gave themselves a lot of things but one of them is the definition of democracy now we have to figure out how to reeducate all the people trump and fox news have damaged but

now them suing amazon for being removed from its web hosting service to america's boom bust show discussed that whether on line giants to give users the same protection themselves. what we're seeing right now sir is truly unprecedented in terms of tech companies deciding what companies can exist and deciding that if you don't behave the way we want you to if you don't act the way we want you to will simply shut you down and it's a pretty shocking thing to have happening right now in the technology space it is and i think there's a difference here i want to play devil's advocate here ban where it is a private company technically so they're allowed to make these rules you check the box when you need logging you create your count sign up for it right. well sure of all the companies right but what's really interesting about this is this whole argument over section 230 right everyone's talking about section 2 3rd again
3:13 am
section 230 is written in a way that essentially protects a platform from being responsible for what users upload so in theory the same section $230.00 protection that twitter and facebook and google and youtube use to protect themselves is that is not being afforded a parlor to say hey we're not a publisher so if people come on our platform and they say things that you don't like we're not the publisher of that but we're merely a platform for people to speak and these tech companies are saying hey you can't be a platform you have to be a publisher therefore controlling editorializing every piece of content on your platform. is a case of one rule for some but another for those who make the rules well british prime minister boris johnson's apparently been caught exercising 11 kilometers from his
3:14 am
residence despite his government's very clear instructions to people not to exercise outside their local area is just days too after 2 women were fined hundreds of pounds for driving just 8 kilometers for a walk the fines were rescinded after massive public criticism of the show did was dashed the next than looking at home johnson's bad example comes at the very worst possible time for britain in the pandemic. the relentless 1000 infections up and down the country has prompted a stark warning from the health secretary. it's an unwelcome message for many across britain but professor chris witty who's the chief medical officer advisor to the government says tougher restrictions are absolutely unavoidable the next few weeks are going to be. some us into the next
3:15 am
well hospitals are being pushed to absolute breaking point last week we had the mayor of london city karnit declare a major incident which just gives you an idea of the scale that the n.h.s. is facing but also we've had major incidents also being declared in areas like sorry and sussex and those on the frontline say the situation is dire we're most grieved the. incident. when all this comes as the government unveils its vaccination plan includes the opening of 7 mass vaccination centers across the country but there is a widespread perception that the government keeps over promising and under delivering it it comes as a poll finds that around 72 percent of people think that the government has not acted fast enough with 42 percent say they're absolutely too slow but there are still plenty of people out there who think the lockdown shouldn't be in place at all and they clashed with police over the weekend.
3:16 am
so the vaccine very much does provide some light at the end of the tunnel but there are many. put out there that have no doubt that things are going to get worse before they get better the n.h.s. is struggling now in some parts of the country there are no beds and people are being shipped around the country and in some places there's a shortage of oxygen there is no doubt about it the n.h.s. is on the brink and the big message from the secretary of state was to really employ people to follow the rules do not go out and less it's necessary the n.h.s. i think it's close to breaking point i think the government has been too slow right from the beginning there were too slow to law down to originally we are an island
3:17 am
we could have closed our borders easily but we let people in from china and from northern italy and from spain they bought the infection with them too slow to get people moss they were too slow here originally lot down and they've been to slow down since and of course we've had the relaxation of christmas which was a very foolish thing to do in my opinion so yes i think we've had we have a prime minister who's been hesitant to lock down and he's been too slow to act and that's been the story throughout this very sorry. well britain set a double bind to the moment the worst point of the pandemic according to health secretary yesterday it's also caught up in red tape as companies try to trade with europe these are early days post breck's it one of the stories we're covering as well for you after this break.

to scotland for the damage bricks it's doing to its economy party member angus macneil told us why. of course nobody's benefiting from what i accept but i guess it's a complete lose lose scenario but in my part of the universe as analogous scotland we're going to see the worst of all of you know from this exit that's been visited on people of the european union can get 5000000000 in 5000000000 euros in the u.k. go and understand cough up too and i'd argue that the highlands and islands deserve more than others because they're disproportionately disadvantaged by the exit to get out early is the black city years have made the european union beautiful us that made them king because no every best has one and every company selling in european market has to keep the bureaucrats with the clipboards happy people than ever solve it for their sad seeing them no and recent poll suggests that support for scottish independence from the u.k. is growing. again explains. well in 2014 scotland was

a long running trade dispute between washington and brussels wine producers now warn this could lose them almost a 1000000000 euro in exports this year alone. of course these new tariffs pose a real threat for us moreover previously it's affected only under 14 percent strength winds but now it covers all types of wine it effects the whole french wine industry and no doubt we will feel the consequences of this standoff especially amid those countries that don't have such tariffs and this is such a bad time as the state of trade ties with the us is already dire because of the pandemic and we have kind of a large export volume to the us thus even with a mirror tariff increase on american wines we suffer more than they do. with tensions between the us and europe escalated in 2019 a row over airplane subsidies resulted in tit for tat moves them with america
