some syrian man. look up to. millions of uses even world leaders it seems flocking to privet messaging apps like telegraph something online joins like twitter and facebook of the recent censorship you go to a poll. among the people. this is coming up in human overcrowded facilities and a high risk of exposure to covert 100 of asylum seekers in the u.k. go on hunger strike even attempting suicide one in conditions worse than prison. greece calls on the e.u. to speed up passports to get more purists flying on holiday but tourism chiefs even

says too that. people should also be able to travel. the only consideration we don't have to wait for. the 15th of january live from moscow is kevin owen here dot international for the next 30 minutes and counting the companies that take through those headlines were mentioning that just now starting with this it's been called the largest digital migration in history millions of users sick of top level censorship scandals with online giants like twitter and facebook it seems that migrating all mussed to user friendly rivals. moving to greener pastures has been one of the key drivers of humanity's survival but if in the past people fled from war dictators

and natural disasters today we're witnessing a very 21st century style of mass migration the already massive influx of new users to telegram has only accelerated we may be witnessing the largest digital migration in human history millions have recently chosen to ditch the old new media as messengers and move to even newer ones like telegram or signal and there are 2 big bug bears behind the exodus privacy is the big one whatsapp snooty and see we'll see who is this little footprint shared more with parent firm facebook and who wants to open up even more of the world's most notorious data harvester 2nd as censorship triggers to recent purge of donald trump and his supporters has laid bare the capacity of the internet as gatekeepers to silence anyone they deem to be dangerous that's got other world leaders spooked. the chancellor considers it problematic that the accounts of the us presidents have now been permanently

blocked i don't like anybody being son so it's taking away the right to post a message on twitter facebook i don't agree with that i don't accept that sound world leaders including the presidents of circ in brazil have already made the switch to telegram much to the appreciation of the firm's founder we are honored that political leaders as well as numerous public organizations rely on telegram to combat misinformation and spread awareness about important issues in their societies unlike other networks telegram doesn't use opaque algorithms to decide whether a subscriber will see content they subscribe to or not as a result telegram channels are the only direct way for opinion leaders to reliably connect with their audiences the internet has represented freedom since its inception it's supposed to be a place where you can read what you want say what you want but arbitrary set. the ship and the big platforms we know which you want better than you do approach is

the last straw for many not that tech titans are prepared to lose business to the competitors declaring the alternative is nothing short of a threat to society before stamping them out we have always supported diverse points of view being represented on the apps too but there is no place in our platform for threats of violence and illegal activity we cannot provide services to a customer that is unable to effectively identify and remove content that encourages our incites violence against others parlor one of the biggest alternative social networks was wiped off line in a matter of days following the capitol riots and now even telegram is facing accusations of being a haven for conspiracy theorists and far right extremists and that's despite the fact that the company recently removed dozens of groups containing calls to violence but while big texts and to take out competitors might occasionally yield success it doesn't change the fact that social media space is evolving and fast and for many free speech will be the deciding factor in choosing a platform well have

a case in point a turkey's envoy to the czech republic is one of many politicians switching to uncensored online messaging rival telegraph told us direct that people are frightened these are the traditional online giants these days i think in the long run facebook what's out there. by the same corporate decision makers have to revise the rules because they have. in a way to scare people we know that there are already a lot of the nation cases against them for misusing information and there were a lot of court cases but now they're making it public so in a way the secret is now coming out that the information is in use and they are actually getting your consent for it and and they have double standards if you are a what's yours or in germany you have a different conditions but if you are in russia or if you're in turkey if you're in azerbaijan if your income is that you are entitled to different rules this is not

fair we now live in a global village and these kind of platforms connect all of us so technology should not be discriminative technology and communication should be embracing everyone and i think these policies are going to make people feel that they have been isolated and they have been discriminated against. hundreds of asylum seekers have gone on hunger strike with some even attempting suicide over desperate conditions they said a makeshift temporary camp in southern england rights groups warn that the former army barracks or worse than a prison overcrowding there's also left refugees terrified of catching covidien our correspondent shouted his dashti report.

napier barracks a former military site in folks in kent now uses temporary accommodation for around $400.00 male asylum seekers has reached boiling point the men inside have taken to the streets surrounding the barracks in protest over grim conditions they are living in and painful uncertainty about their futures hunger strikes demonstrations even sleeping outside of their last resort it is very cold some are protesting about the food some are protesting for transparency. they need news about how long we are going to stay in this part you know we have no idea of our future but we lost hope and we are desperate i have been here for 3 months and i feel really bad 14 people in one room people breathing on each other there is no privacy the room is separated by a partition we have to share toilets and it only has 2 cubicles between people

there are reports of a number of suicide attempts inside including one just days ago with victims being returned to the barracks shortly after. one being so. rude. i was. asked to talk. about now. years roll. but not last month. was. and it seems like conditions have only become worse since my last visit just 2 months ago when it was clear something was very wrong there were already accounts of poor hygiene and out of all. the facilities as well as if the crowded rooms afaik aren't breach of the government's own covert regulations and now allegations of positive cases inside i would assume that the government is breaking its own law

on the ball on the basis of that we are no in a position or severe lockdown conditions new variant is highly infectious yet for some reasons do do you have salim seekers have some sort of forcefield that protects them from colbert you know why are they being treated in such a manner why they've been you know what i can only regard as you know a petri dish for the spread of coronavirus if you have one person was to contact corporate it was spread like wildfire those in the barracks continue waiting for a response to the applications to stay in the u.k. some have been at the temporary site since it opened in september human rights lawyers say it's totally unsuitable we find time and same again the whole ball of the u.k. government is repeatedly you know breaking the law it's repeatedly breaking health and safety regulations and they've created a climate of fear and a barbaric institution houses asylum seekers in such conditions and it's not acceptable in any civilised society but the home office denies these claims it says

it is providing cave it's a kill safe accommodation as well as offering support to those who need it the government takes the wellbeing of asylum seekers extremely seriously we've tried to sayas seekers a safe warm covert secure suitable commendation where they receive 3 meals a day whilst the claims are being processed despite the government's promise that help is available at any hour they have been claims that foreigner pull aside and seekers have enjoyed long wait times to get in touch which could be fatal the home office may claim it's offering a decent standard of support but the warning signs have been there since napier opened its doors and without any political will to effect change it seems that for these men the situation will only get worse shouted at woodstock's day r t u k or despite what you see there on the. on the nation there are plans to extend another prison camp in the south of the country ministers will add prefabricated housing to yarl's wood facility to hold up to $200.00 migrants but experts warn the

governments all attitude to refugees at that site is wrong our concern with yarl's wood specifically is also the fact that. it's on the sites of an immigration removal center now this is very important for individuals who have. left their home countries possibly suffered only awful detention in their home countries to maybe victims of trafficking on the way over to put them in a place where they feel as if they are being treated the same as people who are being detained in order to remove them from this country let's send a very damaging the home office has accommodation all over the country they haven't told us what the occupancy levels is of those of the existing combination of e.c. at the moment with the pandemic it's very likely that there will be huge levels of vacancies in sales and. so it's unclear why they've taken this decision

on an emergency basis to house up to 200 asylum seekers on the site of yours with immigration moving center. amid uncertainty about how long europe's covert pandemic will last greece now thinks it may have a solution to get tourists flocking back to its resorts again for the prime minister wants the e.u. to urgently agree a way for vaccinated travelers to free cross borders it is urgent to adopt a common understanding about how vaccination certificates should be structured so they can be accepted in all member states. covert passports are being suggested by other states too in poland just in news that actually to people could be sent to q.r. code to exempt them from social distancing rules those who heard the shot could also use public services without extra testing airlines are also latching on to the idea will even talk about it for a while but doesn't go very far so

a survey of force trailers quantas shows that 9 of the 10 people would they say get inoculated so that they could travel but more than a year and a half a year rather 6 months of talks of them talking about this run the world failed to agree crossed the deal the head of the world travel and tourism council too says that even those people who haven't had a job should be able to travel as well. the dog we are it sure is totally against health passports ok and we believe that as well because that can lead to discrimination unfortunately the vaccine is not available everywhere learn a lot of the violence in countries that they still don't have access to the vaccine i don't see the us as the only solution as vaccination should not be the only consideration currently we have a limited supply and we need to where it does the vulnerable groups we don't have to wait for a vaccine to travel while at the same time people kind of still travel as long as

you have for instance if you're coming from this to nation with high cases of quality to earn this nation with lower case of course it will be helpful 2 percent and this is where we have a nasty in. a test made up before called the survey you're allowed to board a plane with a test in massive testing implemented before boarding or before flying what we say is a digital certificate or a paper certificate should be fine you only reason why the digital certificate gate is a stronger is because you avoid corruption or you avoid. fake certificates but a paper certificate should also be fine and we believe that a digital certificate of the negative best should be fine enough and we totally believe there we have to protect the health information for the traveler and for people in general. but to hear him out what to do for the person locked owes as

a last resort them from says bruja nationwide curfews this weekend as other methods of failed to curb the spread of coronavirus reporting from paris charlotte dubrovsky. that koofi starts at 6 pm in the evening and it will last until 6 am in the morning and that will come into force that we have time for almost saturday so this is because 900 cases still set in roy's inc here in france we so 18000 cases on average every day being registered to various government had hoped that they would be able to get it control ringback it hasn't sent for now it means that shops will have to close to the public 6 pm in the evening that people will be able to stay in work a little longer than that now there are fines if you are caught outside and don't have the right to say that you can be outside after 6 pm in the evening you will be fined $135.00 euros that's one 1st offense but if you do that several times during

a month period say 3 times that will rise to $3750.00 euros and a possible 6 month jail sentence but the prime minister did for the moment to rule out a further lockdown suffer his exits your year apart from situations linked to public services or premises businesses all services open to the general public will be closed at 6 pm if we see in the coming days a strong deterioration in the epidemic we will consider without delay implementing a new lockdown that is likely to cause massive concerns of those who run restaurants cafes bossie these are places that have been shut down for people to go in and sit and eat a meal since the middle of october but many of them are lying on the fact that they've been providing takeout services and they take our services our lunch and the evening under these new could be restrictions these businesses will have to shut by 6 pm meaning that there will be no take care services in the evening which

could severely restrict their businesses and many will probably be saying that this is going to be the last nail in the coffin. for their business and we know that the borders will be strengthened as a result of the continued covert 19 pandemic so we've been told that anyone coming from a country outside the european union will have to present a toothpick never needed to test before they fly and those who do present that test well after that then some postulate says 7 days here in france before taking and know their test of truth that they are not kuwait 19 carriers that we have also heard that there will be more than 700 vaccination centers that will be opened next week and they were really trying to run but this vaccination camp campaign here in florence when the being severely criticized at the beginning for being so slow to talk now is to vaccinate over and 1000000 people by the end of january and it we've

been told through january 18th anyone who is likely to develop serious illness as a result contracting could be going teen will now be able to jump the queue and get a chance of a good god less of that age. come come soon enough for the whole world a now coming up after the break this friday it's only bring just about 2 weeks since breck's it finally took place but already look at that empty shelves at stores again in northern ireland but why after all the run up of planning where they go wrong we'll check it out after the break. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure and i'll be speaking together for the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you there.

is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death. or a mate in the shallowest. again

mainstream media have stepped up their attacks on all those who voted for donald trump then there are calls to deprogram them no less and even comparisons to some of been. there are millions of americans. almost and republicans. somehow need to be deprogrammed they are members of a cult the trumpets cult there are republican members of congress i know who clearly have lost their minds who just will not accept reality when it comes to the facts about donald trump i'm comparing the words of individual who would incite them radicalize somebody as osama bin laden did to what president trump did. but from supporters of questioning the mainstream media or sultan even i ask who are the ones that are brainwashed. like airplane and call them brainwashed or just

don't agree with them people are brainwashed by the media it to divide people to give away. this and settle down. freedom of speech is an american people who voted for trump wanted to change it just cannot wipe out a whole 75000000 people that don't agree with you you can vote. for whoever you want to. be afraid of having people come back we all need to come together unite. our good that they have identified from supporters as so dangerous in groups that they have to be prevented from forming in groups for the safety of the american people there's no there's no comparable message coming from the right about the left nothing from the right that would destroy the unity that we all should have and probably wish we did have to unity in america is long

gone because the people calling for the loudest are the same people who think we should go to jail we should have our guns taken from a sex and we are the side that is not violent while they let their side who is violent rampage around the country for almost a full year they have absolutely spoken out of both sides of their mouths on this on the left and there's going to be a political price to pay for that. so shop as a normal law and then finding out rows of empty shelves in grocery stores and bricks it's being blamed new restrictions or slaps on goods shipped from mainland u.k. to northern ireland after britain totally eventually cut that cold in the e.u. just 2 weeks ago heads in the big supermarket chains of no we shouldn't play for the government to sort out the red. we recognise the european commission needs to see increased compliance to support the concessions granted through the northern ireland protocol but the current proposals increased bureaucracy and certification

in such a short time scale are unworkable so boris johnson the prime minister was questioned in parliament over the supply issues and he played down the problems but the moment goods are flowing if it could be a normal volumes between great britain and northern ireland so far no lorries have been tone. but would it appease the scottish fishing companies who are also furious warning their products are going to waste through e.u. delivery hold ups bosses even threaten to dump their rotting seafood outside parliament now if they can't get the goods to market by next week for brakes it party and the people etheridge told us in his view britain's government should be ashamed of itself this should never have got to this point it's absolutely irresponsible and ridiculous that the british government led to this point years ago we should have had the discussion with the do you want to do trade with us and keep out of our business if the answer was no we should've left all world trade organization in terms with

a transition period which was built into what had been agreed that could've made all of this absolutely not no chance of happening instead of that they drove it for the last minute and boris johnson gave ground to the because he was terrified of go it alone and he has let the country go out of it without enough delays the rid the very reason we're in this position as i said earlier was that we've been delayed for too long this need winter this is people who are trying to deny the will of the people is delayed this to the point where this is now happening they are responsible and the government has a responsibility to sort it itself they created this mess not the people who voted briggs's the government is responsible for the ripple sorted it was. germany's ruling party set to vote for a new leader this weekend the winner in the christian democrats ballot is likely to become the next chancellor too because i'm glad merkel's term expires in october and he's peter all over our europe correspondent breaks down the candidates a bit more. the c.d.u.

party the christian democratic union will elect a new leader this weekend it will see who should be the next contender to be the chancellor of germany who will replace angela merkel when she steps down she confirmed again during her new year's address that she would not be running for the chancellorship in september's vote we had heard from her 1st way back in 2018 saying she wasn't going to stand again this 4th term as my last as german chancellor at the 2021 problem and a real action i will not put forward my candidacy for the chancellor she began so who's in the running to replace a well the leader of the state of north rhine-westphalia shot at 59 years old he's a real big ally of angular merkel very much seen as the continuity counted it then there's friedrich minutes at 65 the oldest in the running he is a multi-millionaire corporate lawyer

a long term rival of. then there's no but again 55 the youngest in the race and he is currently the chairman of the foreign affairs committee and certainly knows his way around the bundestag he's been a member of the parliament since 1994 let's have a listen to what all of the candidates had to say ahead of this weekend's conference i stand for everyone and i think that those who did not vote for me if i am elected will also be able to live with me and accept me do we want to continue to play in a regional leak every country for itself or do we want to play champions league to play a role in the world. what i bring is government experience disapprove big federal state balancing different interests and perhaps this doesn't hurt city you would have already won the election however whoever wins the c.d.u. leadership may not end up standing for chancellor 6 what we're seeing is what's

being called a shadow campaign ran to push forward the leader of the state of bavaria the leader of the christian democratic society and sister party the christian social union marcus zone then this health minister again spawn he's being touted as a potential outside bet to run as chancellor what we will know is who will lead the c.d.u. party over this weekend we may well have to wait until around the beginning of march to find out exactly who will be the content from that party from the c.d.u. c.s.u. group to stand as the replacement for angela merkel. peter all over there before i go just want to bring you some pretty pictures wrapping up this hour a show of military might no less from north korea don't often see too many shots but from there a massive parades been held in the capital pyongyang to mark the end of the ruling party conventions let's see them but closer to 8 rows of marching soldiers on display there was well as including new submarine launched ballistic missiles must

cause a bit of a ripple north korean media calling them the world's most powerful weapons although western export sports are divided on it it's been a lot of news about it. but that's the show that was put on kim jong un looking very happy and we'll leave you with that suit reporting from moscow kevin 0 in signing off for now for me in the have a great day. this is what happens to pensions in britain.

nuclear become a battleground in the u.s. in vermont people demanding the shut down of a local plant. 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 limits 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 as are power lie with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways a struggle on r.t. . is your media a reflection of reality. and. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation

community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. directly. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. this is the one business show you can't afford to miss unfair montecito going to washington coming out the big tech fan cover.
