the headlines in r.t. high profile u.s. democratic party lawmaker calls to rein in media over disinclination speak in leading investigative journalist glenn greenwald about the possible consequences for free speech. there are. still years of all of our. sort of valley. in the way that people leave us where we are. also to come the vast majority of americans according to a new poll across political lines believe the country is quote falling apart. and the shit being kicked in vaccine advice in norway 13 die after receiving the pfizer

job of the country's drugs agency doesn't insist there is no reason to be a lot. of good afternoon you're watching r t international this saturday just gone 3 o'clock in moscow. the u.s. congresswoman how. cortez has joined a growing group of democratic politicians demanding a dime on the media in the wake of last week's riots the capitol building in washington d.c. but republicans do you fear any more focus on them. as the story. 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 exchange 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 we rate in our media environment so that you can't just spew 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 on it so focus

solely on the. well 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 c all the cards they love my. artsy new york well in the latest episode of the r.t.e. show on contact host chris hedges speaks at length to the investigative journalist glenn greenwald and talk about the growing censorship powers of unelected tech executives you can catch the full interview later today on r.t. america and also online. di i party clearly it's the way you have to play

are very much on board yeah that and i have free speech. whatever they want to call it whites are. terrorists right when extremism because it's simply too dangerous and it not only should the free speech be restricted by laws in congress which presumably have to be amended 1st man and put it well then 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 the 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 down streeters 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 entire presidency and why because they're extremely concerned that these private acknowledges who they. it was a battle you has been trying to break out to go off and break out they spoke for

years and they simply keep to search you are all are also coming from their democracies and they know that facebook and twitter can go our president trouble from accessing the internet they know it could be done to them as well and to their countries as well they simply destroy that computing platform at the urging of people a congressman wrote congresswoman alexander cost you or test the issue to masquerade on twitter and within 72 hours 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 silicon valley our hearts to exist from the outside of the realm of democratic accountability to operate no transparency and with no limits. now the vast majority of americans on both sides of the political spectrum they say

that their nation is quote falling apart that's the finding of a new poll that's just come out the survey of $1000.00 americans found that 80 percent of democrats independents and republicans somewhat or strongly agree that the country is disintegrating we've got opinion on the streets. i'm playing the part. you know that. everything you know about the president. people that you have 400000 individuals americans dying from 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 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 it kind of what the current.

president biden is doing as far as trying to impeach the ultra president is kind of childish. i had few to south america appears to be playing its part in dividing the country some of the biggest companies are pulling financial support from backed president trump will take a closer look. a bit like from the. health officials in no way we're just seeing the facts a nation that i saw after the deaths of 13 elderly people who received a dose of the face of vaccine all those who died who resins i ate. 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 or norway launched the covert immunization program with the pfizer vaccine in late december and on

friday rolled out the maternal vaccine to sing home residents are on the priority list and since then 29 people have been reported to have suffered side effects after getting the pfizer jab but the national medicines regulator doesn't sis it is not alarmed by these numbers adding that the risks are low except among the most frail of patients and people with underlying health issues experts we spoke to agree to that the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks but that caution is needed for the most vulnerable. actually all sorts of in norway believe that there may be a problem there it's right to be cautious but vaccines should only ever really be given to people who are fit and well in any case if somebody who use it seriously and well or frail they really got to me to think about giving them a back seat i think pfizer baxi is one of in terms of its effectiveness initially at least it seems to be one of the best the vaccines on the

market but how long will it last for remains 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 deaths and see if there's something that they had in common there is a concern but i think at this point there and so many people have gotten this vaccine and not had any major problems i still haven't seen any legitimate evidence that this vaccination the risk of the vaccination outweighs that then it's at this point. that they are changed healthy nutritious and easy on the environment to you but would that be enough to convince you to add worms to your daily diet or the euro pain food safety authority has done research which says that beetle larvae is safe for humans to ate and it's now up to

me members to decide whether they can be served up. this 1st european food safety agency risk assessment of a new suit does not all food going to be the way for the 1st e.u. word approval or risk of illusion is it is that the necessary step 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 well if it helps about your appetite the un's food and agriculture agency does say that insects are a good source of protein and also fiber and the big benefit for the planet is that their production does not produce a lot of greenhouse gases and there's also a much lower risk to of the spread of animal to human diseases so so far so good but researchers do say that studies are still inconclusive more work is needed they say on allergies and claim that the worms do contain kiting which is perfectly safe for most people but it can cause

a severe reaction for some and is also found in shellfish either way you still have to decide whether you want to try that there are cognitive reasons derived from our social and cultural experiences the so-called yuck factor that makes the thought of eating insects repugnance to many year of beans 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 well here and talk to campaigners on sustainable farming poverty and also animal rights to see if they have any big bag eating bugs. we are going to own 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 for the whole 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 car needs so if i'm with the matter of going for jobs or in which we have to divide our consumption money several times like we are to need to in terms less because especially cars are very carbon intensive the majority of current footprint of animal or culture comes from remove them so they chose cheap i think that a lot of environmentalist think the cow is worse but the environment recent research from oxford university suggested that the calculations that agriculture organization the u.n. organization has made about the contribution that rwanda town 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 sore that cancels out then we say their visions i'm committing with this 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 say i do 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 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 protein. quite often that protein is produced from sex more and more people are beginning to see it going to get in should introduce also longer now you can ball. chocolate flavored and ginger flavored salty carol low costs and all small she things i don't think it's a matter of if why all of it is just

a matter of it's coming down the i mean it's already here and if they won't give it a trendy name it will be something that more people accept in the go-go's and that's a little less parks. was not a saturday brazil's health minister admits health care has quite collapsed in the country's amazon region overwhelmed by cultivated and a lack of equipment doctors and also will have the details. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person if there is. no

dares thinks. we dare to ask. for. 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. welcome

back here with our giant u.s. corporations have pulled financial support from politicians who have spoken act in favor of donald trump that is despite the firms themselves having previously pumped heat sums into the president's party. looks at corporate america's efforts to fit in 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 the supported you voted for the person who nazis support you voted for the person who the all right supports that's the crowd that you're in apart from being heckled is that nazi how did a trump find

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 at 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 decided to fire the electoral college results for some it was news that mike even donated to the red tape and they did 150 $1000.00 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 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 and 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 200-200-4016 elections democrats cried foul and contested the outcomes as if 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 and be amazon and general electric morgan stanley the list goes on and 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 is also being called on to resign and had a contract for an upcoming book cancelled 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 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 demeo them all a big business and they've won the election all bets are off. brazil is struggling to cope with the pandemic at the moment and the problem is particularly bad in the amazon region where there was a shortage of all the patients and i need a fraction of the medics needed to help the country's health minister admits that health care in the area has collapsed. maybe we have lived through

a moment of horror and panic the pandemic came back to announce this thought it was on the control lots of people are losing their left 1 once this phase is tragic in our capital. there were only 4 doctors here yesterday and over 70 patients in this room and there were 12 patients intubated 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 we think the facts and will work it will take a while so we'll know these numbers will increase for a while unfortunately like me ma india is planning to inoculate 300000000 people as authorities start the 1st stage of a mask vaccination program there these are pictures from a vaccination center in new delhi authorities are phasing in the program with only $100.00 people allowed in each center on the 1st day of care workers are among the 1st in line for the jabs astra zeneca and india's vaccine it's a. shots that have received emergency approval country suffering heavily vary from the virus at the moment with more than 10000000 reported cases. entire dutch government has resigned over a scandal in which thousands of families were torn apart after being wrongly accused of child benefit fraud mistreated errors saw heavy handed tax officials go

after households and forced many of those to hand back significant welfare payments charlotte pinsky 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 what happened that 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 so when one part of the report that said some people missed signatures on 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 $600.00 all of the family says

that this was ethnic profiling now when more was being implemented it was said it was poor with an eye for meaning they were looking roups of people while the individual circumstances family slots 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 was that this false accusation the demands from paintings 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 status the victims were powerless against powerful institutions of the rule of law and did not receive the protection they deserved well margaret day has said the buck

essentially stops we've his current administration but he's not only remaining as the head take n.p. until it passes new code. initially supported if i can happen before those elections in march but he's also going to remain his party's leader despite the fact that he says that he is sort of shame on fit this scandal that some already questioning how postini just like we don't want presided over the scandal can remain 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 in that can take a capacity in or down mainly to maintain the situation surrounding the 19 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 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 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 so far his party still is polling high ahead to elections in march but it is yet to be seen how this scandal crucially might impact that. shot it happens get reported a washing out international thank you company this afternoon we'll have more stories for you in about half an.

hour every thursday on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business i'm sure. i'll see you then. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. theory dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

max kaiser i think was karl marx or said something like capitalism what about choice all the rope to hang out style you know. there is some poetic. karmic wheel of justice at work here let's check in with stacey wright maxwell report has warned you basically for the last few years that the 4th turning will meet the 3 cities trap we will see the globalization and d. dollars ation that has been happening nonstop over the past 45 years if we as we've been reporting on it the birds are chirping about this a lot they love this so you know we have the 4th turning and that's this generational shift that is happening in america as the rise of these young millennial and generation see and the decline of the baby boomer generation disappearing but we have to globalization and the dollar is ation happening so
