transport as we heard is no suing amazon food being removed from its web hosting service to america's boom bust show discuss that latest and whether online joints give users the same protections that maybe they're lower themselves what we're seeing right now also 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 get all the way we want you to we'll simply shut you down and it's a pretty shocking thing they 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 ben where it is a private company technically so they're allowed to make these rules you check the box when you log in you create your cow and sign up for it right. well you get 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 section 230 is written in a way that essentially protects
5:13 am
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 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. no to go to here is a case of maybe 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 no less from his residence says spite his government's clear
5:14 am
instructions to people not to exercise outside the local area whatever that might be it's just days after 2 women were fined hundreds of pounds for driving just 8 kilometers for a war the fines were rescinded after a massive public criticism. the next they're looking at how johnson's bad example comes at the very worst possible time for britain in the pandemic. the relentless search of 19 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. times of mamma's internationalists well hospitals are being pushed to absolute breaking point last
5:15 am
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 means there are hospitals. this is. where 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 that we can't.
5:16 am
do the vaccine very much does provide some light at the end of the tunnel but there are many. pull out 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 is 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 is to really employ people to follow the rules do not go out and less it's necessary the n.h.s. i think is close to breaking point i think the government has been too slow right from the beginning there were too slow to law down to regionally we are an island
5:17 am
we could have closed our borders easily but we let people in from china and from northern italy and from spain they brought the infection with them they were too slow to get people where moss they were too slow here originally lot down and they've been too slow with lock 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 like him and all what a lot he's got on his plate britain's in a double bind right now the worst point of the pandemic according to the health sector is we heard yesterday can be a real tough couple of weeks coming up plus cold and all that red tape as well as companies try to trade early days with you or a post or across that but it was stories when the bat.

thousands arrested that night but mary clip director of the durban holocaust and genocide center thinks parallels with last week's events are misguided. believe that allergies are unhelpful and certainly her across the energies are inappropriate we always have to look at the context each circumstance and each shift our local context it needs and the new aren't needs to be. always taken into consideration and each occasion in each circumstance needs to be unpacked in its entirety because for the how many survivors still out today the holocaust is not a memory it's not history it's lived experience it's the loss of the family members the torture the the polling circumstances that they were forced to endure and so as dreadful as these events and these particular events last week were on
5:23 am
capitol hill we need to be careful in making analogies around calling it chris down . a spot that's ramping up further the u.s. is imposing new additional tariffs on higher e.u. wines now amid a long running trade dispute between washington and brussels wine producers while 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
5:24 am
a mirror tariff increase on american wines we suffer more than they do so a very potted history here tensions between the u.s. and europe escalated in 2019 a row of an airplane subsidies there resulted in to moves with america putting 25 percent levies on some european wines and now with more a whole being targeted french produces a calling on the government for help we can export by placing them on the edge of an abyss it is the entire wine and spirits sector the 2nd largest contributor to the balance of our country which is in danger. in this case it would be better if taxes and other payments were decreased for example we wind producers provide the french economy with money via those taxes and that is ok but when we face a situation when our industry suffers the government would do better to ease some taxes we don't get any support from the government and to receive it well you know
