struggle. 1 pm here now in the headlines this saturday us democrats are pushing for a ministry of truth is the claim from critics of politicians bidding to further gag online free speech speaks of leading investigative journalist glenn greenwald. leading a. 1000000000 years of all of ours in monopolists i'm sorry i'm barely just sounds sir in the way that they will be visible if they are. the vast majority of americans across political lines now believe the country is quote falling apart we get reaction to a shock new poll. you know that and then me to tell you have rights in the capital

you have a president who's been impeached not once but for you. there is no moral compass. to shift in vaccine advice in norway is 13 receiving that. but the country's drugs agency nonetheless says it's not alarmed at the moment. good afternoon welcome to the program from moscow the 16th of january money is kevin owen here for the next 30 minutes about international with our latest for you it's great to have you company so 1st 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 lately i mean growing splits in american society politicians affiliated to president elect joe biden now want to clamp down on anything they branded this information is the allegation is opened. 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 the relief of going out 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 do we rate in our media environment so that you can't just 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 that. is going to be much bigger just wanted to. focus solely on. 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 my. r.t. new york you have to get more depth perspective on this i can tell you the latest episode of oxys on contact chris hedges speaks at length the to the investigative

journalist glenn greenwald about the growing censorship powers of an elected tech executive in cuts full thing streaming all day tomorrow you can get it to america or online. are equally the way they are in my. bag and i have free speech. whatever they want to call it quits this terror is right when extremist and it is simply too dangerous and it not only. their free speech be restricted i ask congress which. amend it 1st man and put it well and they're on their knees pleading with. billionaires and oligarchs 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 him banned if he spoke our it lee announced through a longtime democratic party operative now works as a spy are they ever 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 ounce twitter's decision. to ban president trump from the popular man includes chancellor former who is a center right politician with him trump has argued and bickered almost his entire

presidency and why because they're extremely concerned that these private acknowledge who they cannot battle the e.u. has been trying to break out 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 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 destroyed it computing platform at the urging of people a congressman roe conn congresswoman alexander across your test the issue demands heard on twitter and within 70. 2 hours are our response from the internet so it doesn't understand why this is so dangerous our speech our ability to organize on the internet to be heard is concentrated and great number of so-called belly our

hearts to exist from the outside of the realm of democratic accountability to operate no transparency and with no limits. meantime information of the overwhelming majority of americans on both sides of the political spectrum no say the nation is quote falling apart that the findings of alarming new poll some 80 percent of democrats independents and republicans somewhat or strongly agree the country disintegrating so what's the view on the streets than here's a snapshot. the country is playing the part. you know that. everything you know about the. people and you have 400000 individuals americans dying from 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's been impeached not once but for you. there is no moral compass.

and we can't play 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 the ultra president is childish. the time just tip you off for the coming up later in the program corporate america repairs to be playing its part of splitting up the country some of the biggest companies of pulling financial support from just about any lawmaker who backs president trump at the moment. more of it could lead to. different subject now health officials in norway justing their covert vaccination advice after the deaths of 13 elderly people possibly from side effects of being given a dose of the phase about 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 fires of vaccine in late december and on friday rolled in the dirt of vaccine to nursing home residents are the top priority list since then 29 are reported to have suffered side effects of getting the pfizer . but the national medicines regulator insists it's not alarmed by the numbers adding 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 that caution is needed for the most vulnerable. it actually all started in 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 use it seriously well or frail they really got to me to think about giving them

a back seat i think pfizer baxi is want to terms of its effectiveness initially at least seems to be one of the best roxy on the market but how long that lasts for remains to be seen 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 depths and see if there's something that they had in common there is a concern but i think at this point there have so many people have gotten facts and not had a major car because they still haven't seen any legitimate evidence that this vaccination the risk of the vaccination outweighs the dentist at this point in. time we are watching at the moment but that doesn't put you off our next story they're cheap they're healthy the nutrition isn't easy on the

environment great book would that be enough to convince you to meal worms to your daily diet the european food safety authority has done research which says they are safely humans to eat it's now up to the members then to decide whether or not the beetle love it can and will be served up this 1st european food safety just a risk assessment or finance it does normal food going to be the way for the 1st approval our risk of deletion is a disservice if and that's are a step in the regulation of normal foods by supports and policy makers in the e.u. in making science because decisions and ensuring the safety of consumers. or it will if it helps your appetite over the next 30 seconds or so 1st off the un's food and agriculture agency says insects are really good source of protein and fiber plus their sustainable that's a biggie the big benefit for the planet is that their production causes far less greenhouse gas emissions and there's something else too especially this covert time there's apparently a much lower risk of the spread of animal to human diseases so so far so good great

but researches point to inconclusive studies would still leave something of a sour taste as take a minute out look at what that might be 1st of all the scientists say they've got to look closely at potential allergies also like many insects meal worms contain kited which is perfectly safe for most of us to eat is found in shellfish because shellfish is a big no no for allergic diners pups the biggest though the wriggling that might put more of the more sensitive european palettes of the day off is actually get your head around putting these little creatures into your mouth in the 1st place there are cognitive reasons derived from our social and cultural experiences the so-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 told to campaigners on sustainable farming poverty and animal rights to see if they've got any think about eating bugs. we have real real concerns about food security i think the issue is about having a 3rd that's sustainable 'd that is for the whole has a 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 the matter of doing their jobs or in which we have to divide our consumption money several times like we have to needs in terms less because it is sufficiently cowers are very carbon 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 and oxford university suggested that the calculations that agriculture organization the u.n. organization has made about the contribution that ruin a town that was 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 there be 'd a division's i'm committee were made aware because i used to use them for fishing bait and to treat my pets where as a boy and it's it's good that the european regulators say it's 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 in the review of this illusion that people have problems with insects in the market is

approaching many people that by approaching sharif's across europe at the moment you get a protein drink which says it contains croce quite often. that protein is produced . more and more people are beginning to see in shouldn't turn you also want to know you can. chocolate flavored and ginger flavored. locusts and all small she things i don't think it's an action of why all is just a matter of coming down. here i mean what if they give it a try and do you know it will be something but more people except in the go-go's. maybe a taste of things to come will say well something happening now next after the break at the moment about grim brazil's health minister admitting health care is quote

aesop's fables caution us to be careful what we wish for because it might just come true after 4 years of donald trump the democrats are triumphantly retaking power in the united states is that a cause for celebration or concern. big trend lately the giant u.s. corporations pulling financial support from politicians who've spoken out in favor of donald trump despite those same firms some of them selves having pumped huge sums into the president's party previously saskia tayla looks at corporate america's efforts to try to fit in now with the incoming democratic administration . donald 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 3 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 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 mosque across 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 got so donations to the democrats that objected to the electoral college vote in 2016 asking for a friend after the 200-200-4016 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 that constitutions are 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 want 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 8 caps lock parents it's. unparalleled to see the democrat party acting like such sore winners instead of celebrating and instead of 'd 'd 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've won the election all bets are off. he's in from south america now some a true because they're unable to cope oxygen shortages for cope with patients and only a fraction of the medics needed to treat the huge influx of brazil's amazon region

the country's one of the worst hit to the world by the pandemic with hundreds of thousands of lives lost already brazil's health minister is saying the health care systems pretty much 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 the left wants 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 grade 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 you see the facts of what it will take awhile so we know the numbers as soon as he's found while pushing looks like. from the gravity of the situation there to a bit of hope a snapshot now from the 300000000 people that so many of india's citizens are planning to get a knock elated to as it began the 1st stage of its coded mass vaccination to come

about what a quiet start they will tell you why these are pictures coming in from one vaccination center in new delhi authorities a phasing in this program only 100 people allowed in each center on the 1st day. what is going to ramp up health care workers are among the 1st in line for the jobs astra zeneca and india's kovacs in the 2 shots that have received emergency approval from the country's suffered really heavily from the virus more than 10000000 reported cases good luck to you guys in your ongoing fight the. final story for now for me the entire dutch government's resigned over a scandal in which thousands of families were torn apart after being wrongly accused of child benefit fraud administrative areas saw heavy handed tax officials go after households mistakenly forcing wind and back significant welfare payments charlotte dubinsky 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 what happened now this all began back in 2012 when parents were regarded as force despite the 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 all those reports now strangely enough 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 it was poor with an eye and cool meaning they were looking up 6 people while the individual circumstances families lost that they are allowance sometimes with no reason given to them and other families who do already received benefits for being

hounded then 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 for payments 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 we've his current administration but he's not only made me a gay to get n.p.n. telepaths a new code. listener supported buckley happened aboard those elections in march but he's also going to remain in the party's lead to despite the fact that he says that

he is for the shade only fit this scandal that some already costuming can talk to me 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 completely informed about this but it's some believe bill even those responsible gun senior being party leaders well mocker just says he will be staying on in that can take a capacity in or down mainly to maintain the situation surrounding 1000 pandemic we felt the need to step down because of the extreme seriousness of the report by the bottom of the committee which has a study to thorley and in-depth what happened and we came to the conclusion that it's unavoidable and that 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 with bottom 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 impact that charlie brown's career the same for this kevin or insulting or for me on the team have a great weekend. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy let it be an arms race is on all fronts very dramatic development only really i'm going to resist our they'll see how that strategy will be successful ready critical. to sit

down and talk. with the boom bust the one business show you can't afford to miss on fairmont if they ok in washington coming up global markets are responding to a bite and they realize package we take a close look at the global market to walk and looking at a correction and a new regulatory crypto analysts kristie i am betting are standing by we have a lot to get to so let's get started.
