u.s. democrats are pushing for a ministry of truth is the claim from critics of bottling politicians bidding to go online free speech speaks to leading investigative journalist glenn greenwald. there on their knees pleading with. bill years ago oh it works in my novel valley and sir in the way that they believe is politically advantageous. the vast majority of americans across political lines now believe the country is quote falling apart as we get reaction to that shock you. cannot and then me tell you who writes in the capital you have

a president who's been impeached not once but for you. there is no moral compass. shift in vaccine advice in norway as 13 die after receiving the phase of the country's drugs agency says it's not a long. way they're just turned 11 am here in moscow welcome to the program the 16th of january kevin though in here for the next 30 minutes with the latest from r.t. international. a u.s. ministry of truth is what critics say democratic party lawmakers are gunning for after donald trump and thousands of his supporters were kicked off the major social media platforms i mean growing splits in american society then politicians affiliated to president elect joe biden now want to clamp down on anything they brand to disinform ation is the allegation is colored mopin reports. the

congresswoman who is known by her initials is seen as a rising star in the democratic party a o c is all about diversity social justice and protecting civil liberties she communicates with her adoring public primarily through social media with thousands sharing her tweets and live streams why do we need to change people's well being and ability to survive for yet another corporate bailout we need to get really growing up our elected officials offices. and demanding believe no holding back there but it seems that now alexandria cortez's a ok with media censorship we're going to have to figure out. how we rate in our media environment so that you can't just a few disinformation and misinformation so bridle the news media and teach people

how to properly consume news now you can see where this is heading for a o.c.s. critics let's unpack this proposal she wants to basically establish a ministry of truth we've all read 1904 and you know to determine what is truth and what is not so who sits on this committee exactly i'm curious that she's talking about is fine for a member of congress to blast the media president trump has been known to do that now and again but i don't want some federal commission deciding what is false but what a.o. c. wants the government to do is already being done by social media's gatekeepers donald trump and his closest supporters have been taken off of social media one by one facebook has even banned any reference to stop the steal the catch phrase donald trump supporters used when they said they felt the election was rigged against them and they're finding online hangouts to be much harder to come by at this point we've seen twitter's rival parlor drop from the app stores before being shut down by amazon completely twitter c.e.o.

jack dorsey was caught on tape suggesting this is just the beginning we know we are focused on one and don't think this is going to be much bigger just wanted to focus solely on. how it does but also. a much longer term around just an image over time. that don't believe this is going away and politicians have long been accused of being slow on the digital uptake but they seem to be learning 1st hand who really has the power over what we hear see and read in these increasingly polarized times mean that open conversation is needed more than ever but the billionaires who hold the keys now have all the cards hey look ma. r.t. new york what if you came to him or the latest episode of o t's on contact chris hedges speaks at length and to investigate agendas glenn greenwald about the growing censorship powers of unelected tech executives you can

catch the full interview from sunday kome i partly it's the way you. are very much on. that and i have free speech. whenever they want to call it quite so obvious terror is right when extremism to this is dangerous and it not only should the free speech be restricted i lost the congress which. i'm and 1st man and put it well and they're on their knees pleading with. billionaires an oligarchy and monopolist and so on it's on bally to censor in the way that they believe is politically advantageous if you want to go on twitter and post a link to the new york post reporting on which contain a lot of information about what joe biden was doing in ukraine when he was doing i don't have a presidential front runner you couldn't even post a link to

a band if he spoke our early announced through a longtime democratic party operative now works for they were going to suppress the spread of that story that was stunning intervention on the part of silicon valley let's talk about removing donald trump from social media platforms i think even the shopping was of the shopping network i mean and why that's dangerous a dangerous precedent i've really interesting. that numerous world leader including ones famously after known to use relationship with president trump stood up and very ounce twitter's decision. to ban president trump from the popular myth includes chance for merkel who is a center right politician with you know trump has argued and bickered almost entire presidency why because they're extremely concerned that these private admin

awfully who they cannot battle the e.u. has been trying to break up to go out and break out they spoke for years and he simply can't do search you are all are also coming from their democracies and they know that it facebook and twitter can cause a trauma from accessing the internet they know it could be done to them as well and to their countries as well they simply destroyed it computing platform at the urging of people a congressman roe conn congresswoman alexander cos your court has the issue demands heard on twitter and within 70. 2 hours are a response from the internet so it doesn't understand why they. are our ability to organize on the internet to be heard it is concentrated and number of so-called belly our guards who exist on the outside of the realm of right on ability to operate no transparency and with no.

information makes them overwhelming majority of americans on both sides of the political spectrum now say the nation is quote falling apart the findings from alarming new poll saying some 80 percent of democrats independents and republicans somewhat all strongly agree that the country disintegrating so what's the view on the streets is a snapshot the country is that line of mark. you know that and then tell us everything you know about the president. and. people and you have 400000 individual americans dying from 4 coronavirus you have millions of people unemployed you have a business is falling for bankruptcy you have rights in the capital you have a president who's been impeached not once but for you. there is no moral compass. in america and we can't play it she's a 20 current president and the president coming it's not a very. it's

a easy switch over i think a kind of what the current here president biden is doing its part trying to impeach steele trying to help president to childish. coming up with a program to corporate america appears to be playing its part of the splitting up of the country some of the biggest companies of bullied financial or just about any lawmaker who backs president trump seems to be the latest thing to do we've got more coming up but we talk about this next officials in norway are adjusting their covert vaccination advice after the deaths of 13 elderly people possibly from side effect of being given a dose of the pfizer vaccine all those who died were care home residents aged over 80 it seems that some of these patients get such severe side effects in the form of fever and malays that it can make a very serious illness even more serious which may lead to death norway launched

its covert immunization program with the pfizer vaccine in late december and on friday rolled out the maternal vaccine to nursing home residents are on the priority list since then 29 of reported to have suffered side effects after getting the pfizer jab but the national medicines regulator insists it's not alarmed by the numbers i think the risks are low except among the most frail of patients and people with underlying health issues experts we spoke to agree that the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks but that caution is needed for the most vulnerable. if your storage is in norway you believe there may be a problem but it's right to be cautious that vaccine should only ever really be given to people who would fit well in any case if somebody who's seriously. frail. really got me to think about giving them a back seat i think we will fight back c. is one of the terms of its effectiveness initially at least seems to be one of the

best a back seat on the market but how will that last for me to be seeing but it is a good vaccine there is nothing wrong with it i don't think it's nothing to worry about i think i think that the scientists and the medical community in norway as well as the world community should look at those depths and see if there's something that they had in common there is a concern but i think at this point and so many people have gotten this vaccine and not had a huge crowd i still haven't seen any legitimate evidence that this vaccination and the risk of the vaccination outweighs the dentist at this point in you know if you're watching us and western europe might be having a late breakfast sorry we're going to talk about next they're cheap healthy nutritious an easy on the environment but would be enough to convince she to add meal worms to a daily diet while the european food safety authority done research which says they

are safe for humans to eat it's now up to e.u. members to decide whether or not the beetle lover can be served up. this 1st european food safety just a risk assessment of a new suit does normal food going to be the way for the 1st e.u. word approval or risk of dilution is a disservice if the nursery in the regulation of normal foods by supports and policymakers in the e.u. in making science because decisions and ensuring the safety of consumers will be everyone's going to move with the times if it helps to work cheer up or tight the u.s. food agriculture agency says insects are a good source of protein and fiber plus the sustainable to the big benefit for the planet is that their production causes far less greenhouse gas emissions and there's also a much lower risk particularly with covert going on of the spread of animal to human diseases so all good news so far but research is point inconclusive studies which still leaves something of a sour taste let's talk about that now then here more work needed for

a start they say on allergies then like many insects meal worms contain kuyt in which is perfectly safe for most of us to eat it's also present shellfish but of course that's a big no no for some allergic diners and all that said perhaps another wriggling out the big one which might put off some of the more sensitive european pilots end of the day is to actually get your head around putting these little creatures into your mouth. there are cognitive reasons derived from our social and cultural experiences the still called yuck factor that makes the thought of eating insects 3 persons to many year of beans with time exposures such entities again change lower costs and prices could enhance food security and new demand will open economic opportunities to but these could also affect existing sectors nichiren told the campaigners about sustainable farming poverty and animal rights to see if they have any be thought about eating these bugs. we've got a rising population globally we have real real concerns about food security i think

the issue is about having a 3rd that's sustainable 'd that is affordable and has relatively negative impacts so i think the option is one as very much of navigating in 6 is just served perpetrates yes these are to me it is necessary in the end because and 6 are so if i'm with the matter of going for jobs or in which we have to divide our consumption monies so are all times like we have to needs to in terms less because it is sufficiently cowers are very troubling intensive the majority of current footprint of animal comes from remove them so they chose cheap i think that a lot of environmentalist think the cow is worth but the environment recent research on oxford university suggested that the calculations that agriculture organization the u.n. organization has made about the contribution that ruin

a time it was that's cows and sheep make towards climate change is being exaggerated so actually if we factor in the way it which cows grazing pasture could contribute towards locking up carbon in the store that cancels out then we 'd think their visions i'm familiar with may work to this i used to use them for fishing bait and to treat my pets whereas the boy and it's it's good that the european regulators say sake but i don't personally fancy it i'm stuck with a little bit at the yuck factor simply i don't think they're going to part called a major part of the future diet of 21st century humanity i think we really just sort of review this illusion that people have problems with insects in the market is approaching many people that buy protein drinks across europe at the moment to get a protein drink which says it contains protein. quite often that protein is produced from insects more and more people are beginning to see them in should introduce

longer now you can ball i chocolate flavored and ginger flavored salty locusts and all sorts of things and i don't think it's a matter of if why all the way and it's just a matter of calming down the i mean it's already here and if they won't if they give it a trendy name it will be something that more people accept in the go-go's and that's a little less. hello for snow in moscow this morning thanks for watching out international the stories in from the other side of the world health minister admitting health care is quote collapsed in the country's amazon region overwhelmed by a lack of equipment doctors and one of the territories worst hit by itself to the.

aesop's fables cautioned us to be careful what we wish for because it might just come true after 4 years of donald trump the democrats a triumphant li retaking power in the united states is that a cause for celebration or concern. the world is driven by shaped by. the dares thinks. we dare to ask.

warning us corporations of pull financial support from politicians who spoke out in favor of donald trump despite the firms themselves having a lot of them pumped huge sums into the president's party previously. looks next to corporate america's efforts then to fit in with the incoming democratic administration. don't trump free fall from american president to enemy number one is always complete but it turns out guilty by association too if you voted for trump you voted for the person who claimed supported you voted for the person

who nazis support you voted for the person who the all right supports vets the crowd that you were in apart from being heckled is that nazi having a trump sign a new yard might cost you your twitter account but for lawmakers on the hill loyalty to the president has come at a much higher price over we're not yet making contributions to this point in the election cycle nike's political action committee will not support any member of congress who ignores these principles of democracy including those who voted to decide if ideal actual college results for some it was news that mike even donated to the red tape and they did $150000.00 in 2020 while the democrats got handed over a 1000000 so besides being a monster crossan jumping on the gun nike's move was also a monster class in forgetting that when your going to take the moral high ground you better make sure you will clean as some whistle yourself nike uses slave labor

politicians should be refusing their donations like anyone cares nike got rich off the backs and sweat of child labor and pittance wages in asia all good americans should refuse to support them or accept any donations from them and you also better make sure you're consistent i'm sure that the osa guts of donations to the democrats that objected to the electoral college vote in 2016 asking for a friend after the 20020042016 elections democrats cried foul and contested the outcomes as is that constitutional right. don't remember nike pulling its millions than fox because it didn't and neither did any of the dozens of other companies that have now decided the constitution's wrong and republicans need to be taught a lesson disney wal-mart be amazon and general electric morgan stanley the list

goes on some have even gone a step father and asked for a refund take josh hawley to fossella to commit to objecting he's been asked by greeting cards giant who mark to pay back past donations season's greetings seditionist we want our money back who has also been called on to resign and had a contract for an upcoming book canceled counseling being something holy is generally not a fan of this could not be more william let me be clear this is not just a contract dispute it's a direct assault on the 1st amendment only approved speech can now be published this is the left looking to cancel everyone they don't approve of we'll never know of course but i'm guessing that if trump was still on twitter around about now wads which would probably be making a caps lock parents. unparalleled to see the democrat party acting like such sore winners instead of celebrating and instead of moving forward

with their agenda they've become even more slight full and nastier than they were during the 4 years of trim if this is what it's going to be like everyone should be terrified their mission now is the engines and blood and i think people are rightly scared you know these people have absolutely the entire media and big tech industrial complex in their pockets and all i can d.b.l. they have all a big business and they won the election all bets are off. now in from the south american news this is unable to cope oxygen shortages for covert patients only a fraction of the medics needed to treat the huge influx in brazil's amazon region the country's one of the worst hit in the world by the pond with hundreds of thousands of lives lost brazil's health minister now admitting health care in the area has quote collapsed.

the plague we have lived through a moment of horror and panic the pandemic came back to the now so it was on the trail so also people are losing their left want this face tragic in our capital. there were only 4 doctors here yesterday and over 70 patients in this room and there were 12 patients in 2 treated where my mother was being treated.

we really have to work hard to keep up with the flow it's not easy but we're trying to take care of people. so even if you see the fact that it will hurt it will take a while so we know the numbers do not he has found while most men looks like it is . finally for now the entire dutch government has resigned over a scandal in which thousands of families were torn apart after being wrongly accused of child benefit fraud it seems administrative error is saw heavy handed texas officials go off to households mistakenly that forcing them to hand back significant welfare payments causing a lot of angst. reports. it is already offered his resignation it to the king in the netherlands and that report said that it was both the government

that he presided over at this time but also the previous rigid administration that we're all partly responsible for want happened now this all began back in 2012 when parents were regarded as. tax authorities and this is because they had sometimes just incorrectly filled out documents so when one part of the report that said some people missed signatures almost reports now strangely enough it was families that had dual nationality that seemed to be well guarded with particular suspicion at just because of the fact that one lawyer representing about $600.00 all of the family says that this was ethnic profiling never nor was being implemented it was said it was poor with an eye and cool meaning they were looking up 6 people while the individual circumstances family's loss that they are allowing sometimes with no reason given to them and other families who do already received benefits for being

held at them for the money to be paid back thousands and thousands of families impacted as we mentioned but the toll for many of these posts that this false accusation demands from james essentially just too much the enormous strain was one of the reasons i got divorced the tax office is very powerful without going to judge they dry you out they came to my house and took my refrigerator they took away my car they took 40 percent of my salary under the pressure of an overheated political need to fight fraud parents were falsely branded as willful proud stars the victims were powerless against powerful institutions of the rule of law and did not receive the protection they deserved the law project has said the buck essentially stops with his current administration but he's not only home made me a gay take it and really until a person really close. listener supported by can we happen to believe those elections again march but he's also going to remain in your home to delete it

despite the fact that he says that he is for the shape of a belief in this scandal that son or maybe costuming can talk to me just like we did presided over the scandal can roommate in the journal use rightly so the good minute resigns innocent people have been criminalized their lives destroyed and the college has been incorrectly and incompletely informed about this but it's some believe bill if those responsible continue to be in party leaders well margaret just says he will be staying on and that can take a capacity it all down mainly to maintain the situation surrounding $1000.00 pandemic we felt the need to step down because of the extreme seriousness of the report by the bottom of the committee and which has started and thorley and in-depth what happened and we came to the conclusion that it's an affordable debt we stepped down and at the same time that we are still capable we think with full

support of parliament we respectfully ask for support requests for the support him we think we will get it of course within the parameters of all the debates and discussions we will have respondent to be effective in fighting to come across it well he's an immediate responsibility and it did seem contrite in that press conference all friday afternoon and so far his party still is polling high ahead to elections in march but it is yet to be seen how the scandal crucially light impact that. shola dubinsky wrapping up this bulletin as usual if you get a minute or 2 on your hands we've got to check it out. to see what else we're talking about the stories we're bringing you pictures are bringing. it's a good snow you're out there and watching it all for kevin i mean sounding off for me in the team in moscow have a great week. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development the only really exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. join me every 1st week on the alex i'm unsure and i'll be speaking to the world of politics or. i'm sure i'll see you. guys or i think was karl marx or said something like capitalism one of the rope to
