more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy our lie with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in the very real. struggle. in headlines at midday from us democrats pushing for a ministry of truth is the claim from critics of politicians gag online free speech speaks to leading investigative journalist glenn greenwald of. leading. 1000000000 years of art and monopolist sort of valley and sir. the believers. in other news seems the vast majority of americans across political lines now believe the country's quote falling apart we get reaction to a shock. you know that. you have rights in the capital you have

a president who's been impeached not once but for you. there is no moral compass. and a shift in vaccine advice in norway 13 die after receiving the fire but nonetheless the company's drugs agency says it's not. welcome to the program for moscow the 16th of january 1 aims kevin 0 in here with the latest from r t for you for the next 30. us 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 and the growing splits in american society politicians affiliated to president elect joe biden now want to clamp down on anything they brand this information is the allegation as caleb maupin 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 be 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 disinformation and misinformation so bright all of 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. the real world but also. 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. and r.t. new york you know if you want more on this should i want to hear the. tease on come tug there chris hedges speaks at length and to investigative journalist glenn greenwald about the growing censorship was an unelected tech exacts you can catch

the full thing tomorrow streaming it out t. don't comb i party it's the way they are in my. bag and i have free speech. whenever they want to call it white. house terror is right when extremists on the this is dangerous and it na only. their free speech be restricted i was in 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 what he was doing i don't have a presidential front runner you couldn't even post

a link to him banned if he spoke our it lee 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 one famously after known use relationship with president trump stood up and very down streeters decision. to ban president trump from the popular man 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

acknowledge who they cannot battle the e.u. has been trying to break up to go off 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 qualify as a trauma from accessing the internet they know it could be done to them as well and to their countries as well they simply destroy a competing platform at the urging of people a congressman or o'connor congresswoman alexander or kos you or test the issue demands heard on twitter and within 70. 2 hours are a response from the internet so it doesn't understand why this is so dangerous. our ability to organize on the internet to be heard is concentrated and great number of socog belly our hearts to exist from the outside of the realm on ability to operate no transparency and where no limits.

meantime season overwhelming majority of americans on both sides of the political spectrum now say the nation is quote falling apart they find it is an alarming new poll and some 80 percent of democrats independents and republicans somewhat or strongly agree the country is disintegrating so what's the view on the streets than is a snapshot. i'm playing the part. you know that. everything . people and you have 400000 individuals americans or coronavirus you have millions of people unemployed you have business is falling for bankruptcy you have rights in the capital you have a president who has been impeached for you. there is no moral compass. and we have issues between the current president and the president coming it's not

a very. easy switch over i think a kind of what the current. president biden is doing as far as trying to impeach. president. to let you know to coming up with a program corporate america appears to be playing its part is splitting up the country recrossed out some of the big companies are fully financial support but. president. bush was in no way are adjusting the coping vaccination advice to the deaths of 13 elderly people possibly from side effects to being given a dose of the phase of all those who died 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

a pfizer vaccine in late december and on friday rolled out the mcgurn of vaccine to nursing home residents are on the priority list since then 29 have been reported to have suffered side effects after getting the pfizer job but the national medicines regulator insists it's not alarmed by the numbers in the risks are low except among the most frail of patients and people with underlying health issues experts we spoke to agree the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks but a caution is nonetheless needed for the most vulnerable. if you offer to norway believe that there may be a problem that 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 is seriously well or frail. really got me to think about giving them a back seat i think will fight back see is one of the terms of its effectiveness initially at least seems to be one of the best roxy on the market but

how long that last for me to be seeing but it is a good vaccine there is nothing wrong with it and i 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 deaths and see if there's something that they had in common there is a concern they think at this point and so many people have gotten this vaccine and not had a huge crowd because i still haven't seen any legitimate evidence that this vaccination the risk of the vaccination outweighs the benefits at this point in. the taking a vaccine to ingesting worms that's our next story they're cheap they're healthy they're nutritious and most of all is well easy on the environment but would that be enough to give it as you 2 are mealworms to a daily diet the european food safety authority has done research which says they

are safe for humans to eat it's now up to the members to decide whether or not the beetle luvvie can or will be served up any time soon. this 1st european food safety just a risk assessment of a new soup 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 so let me maybe for a minute where your appetite please the un's food and agriculture agency says insects are a good source of protein and fiber for a start war over their sustainable as well the big benefit for the planet is that their production causes far less greenhouse gas emissions there's also a much lower risk of the spread of animal to human diseases more work covert thing going on right now that can't be bad news so so far it's all reasonably good year research as point inconclusive studies though which still leaves them leave a bad taste in the mouth this is coming up case in point more works needed for

a start on allergies then like many insects meal worms contain chitin which is perfectly safe for most of us to eat it's found in shellfish but it's a big no no for a lot of people who are allergic to it but it's another wriggling maybe the big one that will put more sensitive european pellets off the end of the day is to actually get your head there are these little creatures interior mouth in the 1st place there are cognitive reasons derived from our social and cultural experiences this ill called yuck factor that makes the thought of eating insects repellents to many europeans with time and exposure is 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 nicaea and then talk to come painters on sustainable farming poverty and animal rights to see if they've got any be thought about eating 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 these are necessary in the end because certain cities are needs so if you move the matter of going the jobs are in which we have to divide our consumption money several times like we have 2. lists because it is sufficiently cars are very troubling intensive the majority of current footprint us and $100.00 for comes from remove them so they chose cheap i think that a lot of environmentalist think the cow is worse for the environment recent research and oxford university suggested that the calculations that food and

agriculture organization the u.n. organization has made about the contribution that ruminant animals that's cows and sheep make towards climate change is being exaggerated so actually if we factor in the way it which house grazing pasture could contribute towards locking up carbon in the store that cancels out then we say the visions i'm familiar with may work because 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 intuitively 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 need to see the review of this illusion that people have problems with insects in the market is approaching many people that by approaching sharif's here at the moment 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 going to inch. long to know you can ball. chocolate flavored and change of flavors of. locusts and all sorts of things and i don't think it's an action of walleye all way it's just a matter of calming down the volume it's already here and if they won't give it a trendy name it will be come something but more people except in the go because they knew it was. to come soon but somehow they right now a warning from brazil the health minister their health care's quote collapsed in the country and region overwhelmed by a lack of equipment and. in one of the territories worst hit by kofi.

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 period dramatic development that only

really exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down. again good afternoon u.s. corporations or pull financial support from politicians who have spoken out in favor of donald trump of late that still spite those same firm some of them themselves huge sums into the president's party previously. next the looks of corporate america's efforts to try to fit in with the incoming democratic administration. don't trump free fall from the 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 are in apart from being heckled is that not free 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 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 dollars 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'll clean out some whistle yourself nike uses slave labor politicians should be refusing their donations like anyone cares now you 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 that's 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 further and asked for a refund take josh hawley to fossella to commit to objecting he's been asked by greeting cards giant who want to pay back past donations season's greetings seditionist we want our money back who is also being 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 the wads which would probably be making 8 caps lock parents it's. 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 vengeance 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. some pretty grim use coming in from south america next summer true unable to cope oxygen shield to choose from patients and 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 pandemic right now with hundreds of thousands of lives lost brazil's health minister admitting health care in the area has collapsed.

the plague we have lived through a moment of horror and panic the pandemic came back to me now so it seems on the control that it's also people are losing a loved one 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. even if we see the fact that it will work it will take a while so we know the numbers as soon as he is found while he was very. near seeing the lion the vaccine brings hope well there is more hope every day 300000000 people now we hear that so many citizens in india is planning to knock you late as it kicked off the 1st stage of its covert mass vaccination campaign latest pictures for you from a vaccination center in new delhi a pretty quiet at the moment after say but health care workers are among the 1st to line up for the jobs astra zeneca and india's kovacs and of the. 2 shots that haven't received emergency approval of the countries suffering heavily from the

virus as a lot of places around the world more than 10000000 cases the. entire dutch governments resigned over a scandal in which thousands of families were torn apart of being wrongly accused of child benefit fraud administrative errors so heavy handed tax officials go after households mistakenly forcing them to hand back significant welfare payments or to skew 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 rejected ministration that were all partly responsible for want happened now this all began back in 2012 when parents were regarded as. taxable dorothy's and this is because they had sometimes just incorrectly filled out documents

a way one part of the report that said some people missed signatures on those reports now strangely enough it was families that had dual nationality that seemed to be well guarded with particular suspicion at just because that fact at one point presenting about 600 of the family says that this was ethnic profiling never nor was being implemented it was said in court with an eye and cool meaning in 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 claims essentially just too much 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 prods terse 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 we've his current administration but he's not only what made me the gay take it and really until a person you call. listen the school you did back in the happened to bulldoze elections in march but he's also going to form a new party is the lead inspired by that he says that he is part of shaping the belief in this scandal that some already costing counterparty just like we don't want presided over the scandal can roommate in the journal rightly so the good minute resigns innocent people have been criminalized their lives destroyed and the house has been incorrectly and incompletely informed about this but it's some

believe bill even those responsible gun senior being party leaders well moderate just says he will be staying on and that can take a capacity it all down mainly to maintain the situation surrounding. pandemic we felt the need to step down because of the extreme seriousness of the report by the bottom of the committee which has started 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 there to be 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 with bonum and to be effective in fighting to come across it well he's an immediate response ability and it did seem contrite in that press conference all friday afternoon and so far his party still is polling high ahead of elections in

march but it is yet to be seen how this scandal crucially light impacts that show develop a wrapper of this bulletin for no more for me just over half an hour that's where things look at this stuff they've got some great programs lined up for you in your part of the world especially telling for you after this break coming up who are out international. be careful. because it might just come true after 4 years of. the democrats are triumphantly read in the united states. everything.

that without that on the guardian they go to the show. did you feel i haven't got any great body of. an. opportunity to walk away when you step on the 1st time again it's got you walking on air. and how do you feel about you know where any it. will be in.
