within for green walls. it's using. art to leave defense room. come together impeach the president not just about impeachment anymore it's about canceling it he is a clear and present danger to the u.s. house of representatives voted to impeach president trump after angry debate while many on the floor can't wait to see the back of. this dangerously trying to simply quote cancel his view. as snapshot becomes the latest permanently palin president and his fellow online messaging giant twitter has slammed the african state of uganda for blocking social media the puck receiver well we'll look at that later. and push back against a top british screenwriters called to no longer cast heterosexual actors to play gay characters we put that up for debate. now we

experienced. the game like it's what we teach transgenic mice now we could also then argue that illegal drugs play. only. 9 and one of the morning here on the 14th of january good morning from moscow it's kevin owen here with the latest smart international for the latest 30 minutes great to have you with us so 1st the u.s. house of representatives has voted to impeach donald trump after a massively divisive debate it was expected it happened while most condemn the president though at the same time almost $200.00 congressmen and women came out against the vote arguing the move is no longer just a thirst they said more about revenge. donald trump is the most dangerous man

to ever occupy the oval office this is so dangerous what you're doing that tyrant president they want to cancel the president he is a clear and present danger to the nation that we all know the houses action today will only extend the division longer than necessary let's come together impeach the president for this high crime against the republic you don't merely seek victory but you seek obliteration of your nemesis. had a vote these pictures went viral hundreds of national guard troops pictured sleeping in the capitol building on the floor there were many online noting this seat of government now looks more like a military base they were stationed around the clock following last week's riots at the premises those riots have fed the split the country with the democrats running the still me of capitol hill an act of domestic terrorism so that after the house impeachment vote the senate is now set to decide whether or not to indict on

charges of inciting insurrection but despite democratic party calls for agency it seems the vote will not take place before trouble leaves office on january 20th if he is indicted he'll never again be eligible for public office law expert charles rose explains. since he will have already concluded his term what conviction in the senate would do is open the door to an additional vote on a majority basis only determine whether or not he would be banned from. future public office and i think the odds are very hard to go would be successful if the larger her go is 1st accomplished an actual conviction and in the state prosecutions if they make it to trial there's absolutely no gore he can't be pardoned for it at the federal level and if the state of new york for its were to decide. they were going to proceed forward with indictment in trial and he would

get his day in court just like any of the defendant on the federal potential federal charges is going to come down to whether or not president truck chooses to do something that no president has ever done attempt to solve carton which he's actually been advised not to do by every legal adviser that he's raised the issue with or he doesn't attempt so or if he does not self pardon i think the odds are actually lower that he will be prosecuted federally if the self pardons actually challenging the validity of a self pardon by the president in my assessment is that the united states is not going to be interested in allowing someone to commit crimes and then pardon themselves or blowing up the door if he so pardons he almost guarantees a federal prosecution to result that cost. but we'll see what happens with a backlash against the president's not only being political that trumps business

his host taking a big hit with many of his support is raising concerns about the validity of the matches of his more gaseous across that side of it. undermining an elected president you don't like is called politics just how things up censoring him and denying the president a voice that's just plain pity that it's what it's called and then to go after his business interests just out of spite that's out and out council culture the politically correct acceptable face of hatred here to announce that the city of new york is severing hall contracts with the trump organization if a company in the leadership of that company is engaged in criminal activity that we have the right to sever the contract it's happening on every level local governments like new york which now has a problem with trump running the local caris sells and ice rings business is also

appointing him towards the door shutting down his online stores for example even the banks of bailing out ruling out future ties on trump accounts worth millions we witnessed the president of the united states encouraging the rights isn't refraining from call in the national guards to protect the seen these before. violence has no place in our society and the scenes that we witnessed are a shame on the whole nation. the sports world is no exception to add insult to injury they're doing after trump's passion is goal for part the professional golfer the subsea asian is stripping the president's cherished bedminster golf course of who stayed in the 2022 p.g.a. championship which trump has apparently spent millions preparing for but that's the price of going against the flow nowadays if you don't say what people like to hear

you're going to have a bad heart. it will just be you your nearest and dearest get sucked in to and pretty much everyone who depends on you will live in the age of cancel culture but this isn't something the start of this week it is something that they have been doing to us in others for years if you disagree with them if they don't like you they train cancel you. trumps presidency was undoubtedly divisive this is a person you either hate or you love you may feel that he deserves all of this you may feel it's are justified but you can't deny that he's left a mark that he was the president or well turns out you can i'm working on a bill that would mean that nothing not even a band no amp or no highly no school nothing ever bad name of this traitor. it's about pure heady social media driven revenge and this is the lowest level of

any kind of political discourse that i have ever see it's not in any way surprising that these groups because they don't have a real arguments are going to try to sort of go around the thing it's kind of like if you're in a debate with a person where you have no chance of winning a debate you just turn off the electricity so that nobody has a microphone that's what we're seeing over here when you treat the other side as if they're not just people that you disagree with but people who you view as your enemy you will make them your enemy and right now the democrats have made themselves 74000000 enemies maybe even more than that i don't know and when you do that you create divides in the country you create hostility you create violence and we have not seen the end of this this is not something being created by trump's the bastid this is somebody else something being created by the fact that so many people feel silenced and deep platforms by left wing media both social and

traditional own terms already seen practically all the social media accounts suspended and messaging apps not just the latest to make permanent the tech giant same happy to ban users they don't like but unless king when it happens to them take for instance the african state of uganda has hit out of the social media banned by the country's president they're claiming it violates human rights as critics cry apocryphally then saskin taylor reports. in a rough start to 2021 it looks like twitter's using finance as quickly as it stock is tumbling which it. wrongly though. good news except the ugandan president has blocked access to all social media platforms in the run up to the general election why it while you're wary mr vini

claims the overreaching nods in silicon valley when meddling and taking sides by banning the accounts of government officials linked to his campaign which for someone hoping to extend his 34 year rule by a few more years was never going to be a winning policy used to being on the other side of a purge though twitter was not impressed. to information and freedom of expression including the public conversation on twitter is never more important than during democratic processes particularly elections a noble sentiment the must have slipped twitters mind when it banned the president of the united states his lawyers former advisors former white house trying to just needing conservative personalities and over 70000 of the recounts apparently because they rather embellish their understanding of the 1st amendment by firing up madison porters and inciting

a riot at the capitol so we're courting 2 twits the number one jack dorsey on friday in america censorship is in the national interest but on tuesday in uganda it's a human rights violation begging the question are there any mirrors at twitter h.q. there right about the principles of be expressed in that tweet the irony though the really sick dark and dangerous irony is that they themselves are leading the way in doing exactly that which they're a lecture in other countries that they can't. but lacking self-awareness has been a long time past certain of the social media platform while it's pushing for public conversations around election time in a far away country rewind a few months to when it froze out the new york post over a story about the president elect's son's laptop the one that apparently exposed hunter biden's dodgy dealings in ukraine while his father joe then v.p. was point man for the country is it any wonder the newspaper's editor still bears

a grudge the goal my learned action freedom of information for ugandans but not for readers of america's oldest daily newspaper the new york post for which twitter said sorry we made a quick interpretation using no other evidence that the materials in the article were changed. and according to. them from being spread. on further consideration we needed distraction was wrong and corrected it within 24 hours calling out others shutting down haters and giving yourself a full time free pass so much easier than practicing what you preach. toroid some other stories across this morning a leading british screenwriter producer behind some of the u.k.'s most acclaimed l g b t dramas says that. his should not be cast in gay roles but even some actors best known for playing groundbreaking gay characters have hit back the russell t. davis for overreaching they thought on

a quality feel strongly that if i can ask someone in a story i'm coasting them to act as a lover or an enemy or someone on drugs or a criminal or a saint they're not there to act gay because acting gay is a bunch of codes for a performance it's about authenticity the taste of 2020. i'm not completely convinced he understands what acting actually involves i.e. inhabiting a totally different character back in the late eighty's and early ninety's during the aids crisis the homophobia the secrecy and the quality of shows etc i was always dreaming of the day when being gay was no longer an issue when we were no longer defined as gay activists or gay people just people so we put the issue of whether heterosexual actors should or should not be allowed to play gay characters up for debate it would go. i don't think as an actor that it matters what the sexuality you look at. when i was john a school in london with the whole you know we get any one we serve the sack carbon

shakes and reeks. i've played a lot of characters outside of mind and spirit and it's time to move on. you to ridicule the the gay life has already transgender my guests now i would suggest that it's necessary to not leave the decks variance so you. may not i do believe it's possible to replicate down. the hacky sack sure i think at the end of the day the best actor should be cast in a role i think it's important to have those ability it's important to have it if it's for when it comes to you alan i think yes invites and day out of the room. runs out of the room clean you know met others how about unity just like any other actor but i think best. to play that role does not

excuse excuse of a team in my opinion let's take for example one example consigned to the scarlet johansson she was asked to play a transgendered man actually argues what what changes are you not she should have the right play any role in an ideal world maybe i would say how on earth can start your answer over trying to creek convey the experiences and life of a transgender man when i would suggest she hasn't got the 1st clue about who has also been argued that illegal drug addicts play a drug addict or only a royal can pay a royal person. that's a very specific period and we were having this argument 20. it wouldn't even go to space i mean our. view is ruins not times you can experience to

amass themselves. i would suggest the best way is this very specific gross like casey where you just turn out to be. as we are trained to do. any job instead you. want to use your sexuality is not the kind of interview that should exist in 21. and there's a right to set fire to brussels police station of the death of the reprinting customs one of the stories or a cross next enough to the bright spot 90 seconds from now here on to the international.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

under the rug to smash the windows and then sort of process police station and fire over the death and police custody of a young immigrant ah. you feel the flavor of what it was like the protesters had taken to the streets demanding further investigation of the death of an african migrant at the police to parliament officers used force to disperse the crowds the victims' families lawyers say authorities ago big questions to answer. it brit hume of films the actions of the police on camera he used his civil rights to film the police human rights organizations have long insisted that there is such a right to film the police on camera the police got annoyed in the end they decided

to imprison him during the search he lost consciousness and nothing happened he was left for dead this prompted the crown attorney to open an investigation into the manslaughter charge when people ask me alexey do you think it happened because he is black and foreign i don't know what i should answer because i know one thing probably with my son he is blind in the same age this would not have happened and this is unacceptable i have no words no respect no dignity and no humanity. 23 year old abraham who was detained on saturday evening reportedly while for the police officers on a smartphone he lost consciousness at a police department the man was rushed to hospital but doctors couldn't save his life the cause of death exactly is not yet known police said the man was detained for violating pandemic curfews but that an autopsy apparently died before the curfew protesters are now demanding justice. bremer was like

a brother city it's almost like we were a family so i have the right to be outraged because we're talking about the death of a human being here and we think it is totally normal for people to be outraged when we're grieving that is the main reason why we're here and the 2nd reason is that we demand justice justice must be done one of the aspects still gura regarding the circumstances of him is that. u.s. president elect joe biden has chosen who he wants to run the federal international aid agency usa and it's another of era names samantha power you may recall previously served on the national security council was barack obama's u.n. envoy revealing his choice by and explained why he wants power on his team. as one of our country's most respected voices on humanitarian issues and i have seen both her passion and her principles firsthand there could be no one no one more

qualified. samantha. and your previous high profile government jobs how is faced a raft of ethical questions from critics she pushed for instance for military intervention in libya on humanitarian grounds during the civil war there nearly a decade ago she was also a strong supporter of u.s. involvement in syria in yemen both of which have succumbed to a devastating humanitarian plight no she sure she's the one to lead washington's mission to heal the world. the united states has a chance to partner with and support people who are on the frontlines in battling coven who are trying to build climate resilience who are standing up for the rule of law. standing up against inequality and trying to create more just society humanitarian support democracy assistance economic development those are not nice to have in our foreign policy tool box they are critical for pentagon list michael

maloof predicts the aid agencies in line for a major upgrade as a foreign policy tool and. well her position is actually accorded to biden is going to be elevated to the national security council level so that. gives an added importance as to how foreign aid will be used and humanitarian assistance will be used as a guiding light or a common foreign policy under biden and also shows that we might even go ahead and so far and weaponize that given. samantha powers previous experience and recommendations to then vice president biden and to obama the president libya was it was one of those outcomes yemen was a letter so if we if we need humanitarian assistance or. and coupled with that with the human rights advocacy and insists upon that in in any

assistance that we give. does that mean that we're going to go ahead and shoot it into people's heads again so this is a her elevation like this raises some important questions as to just to what extent foreign policy or foreign assistance will be used as a foreign policy weapon as opposed to give an absolute assistance in the future. this is new in seems to be clever if it works russia's biggest banks developed an app to determine whether a person is called covert or not from the way they cough sperm banks going to use a special algorithm to tell whether a minute to tell rather within a minute whether a person is infected or not doesn't work while the up 1st requires the users to fill out a questionnaire detailing the symptoms then records in analyzing data from your voice breathing and you cough developers in says people should then of course consult a doctor properly and not treat the opposite final analysis. but 1st of all we are

. all possible data states. from example soak up all our equipment to from corporate negative people and it means that neural networks understand i.q. rates and can't understand that space so signal special part of this spectrograph what's exactly related to call it incorporates a tool for example some other wireless of them that there are some has a has a called this is and in that helping to understand that you have to go to a doctor the probability of a gerson to be accorded posed. by and it's comparable with. p.c.r. test for example. there's test since it seemed to 70 percent and conceded to 95 percent of the eye mobile what that in about allows us to it just instituted 85

percent and specifically 45 percent so this is evidence that helps. to understand it's on north korea it's in 60 seconds well anything is a breakthrough these days isn't it could have just well that's the way things look in so far just gone 25 past they could cross something else we're talking about virally of our social media our ups. etc etc kevin i would starting off and i have a great day. join me every 1st day on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport that's less i'm show business i'll see that.

nuclear power become a battleground in the u.s. in vermont people love demanding the shutdown of a local plant from my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no care power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limit this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy is your power live with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways our struggle. i got this 8 millimeter film purely by accident. time period 963 to

65 place damascus. i don't don't know why young. i've watched it many times a man posing the monuments and all poster of the hollywood premiere of town without pity and a fight in a market so with bruises. i had my doubts if i should waste my time on this but i came back to that film over and over again tracing a sequence of events happening in syria at that time and most of those who worked there a moment on. me and i mean you know what you see neal curiosity is like a perpetual motion machine it lives on without a lunch break and then suddenly i saw him stop let's take another look now at low speed this is he like cohen a super spy who some consider

a national hero and others and evil villain an israeli double o. 7. because it's but it's them and they at the. at the on shore still. greetings in salutation this wake here in the united states of america our congressional house of representatives voted for the impeachment of our very own brand name in chief the one and only us president donald trump. they do this as the streets of washington d.c. are now closed off and the national guard stands in front of all of our government

buildings and on our street corners with rifles in hand. i guess this is what the lead democracy looks like here in the land of the free for the events of january 6th watching our 2 parties backed by their money donors and cheered on by their news channels as they fight over the scraps of our republic while at the same time refusing to take responsibility for their own actions that these actions that actually destroyed our republic i am reminded of the other great self-inflicted destruction of our time i'm talking of course about the environmental destruction of our small blue planet you know that little thing that gets in the way of watching t.v. buying things we don't need and. you know breathing you see while we quibble over the illusion of control we continue to ignore and destroy the environment around us in a new paper published in the front years of conservation science environmental scientists

appear to be pulling no punches writing humanity is causing a rapid loss of biodiversity and with the earth's ability to support complex life but the mainstream is having difficulty grasping the magnitude of this loss despite the steady erosion of the fabric of human civilization lead author of the paper cory bradshaw of australia's flinders university he follows up that statements without hesitation writing in fact the scale of the threats to the biosphere and all its life forms is so great that it is difficult to grasp or even well informed experts. the problem is combine compounded by ignorance and short term self-interest with the pursuit of wealth and political interests stymie the action that is crucial for survival. you know i almost i almost you can almost hear r.e.m. ringing.
