youtube censors an artsy video of donald trump's 1st post-presidential speech citing a lack of content warnings although the same footage remains on other media platforms on flag. taking a shot on russia's covert vaccine slovakia becomes the 39th nation to order supplies of sputnik the it's also the 2nd p u member to approve the shot and it comes as the block itself struggles with vaccine shortages. and keeping an eye on friends and family new zealand says no one should be off limits when it comes to informing on covert rule breakers.

wherever you are whenever you are whoever you are you're watching r t international i'm donald quarter with year in the studio welcome to the program. now you tube has deleted in our t.v. show of donald trump's 1st post-presidential speech citing a lack of content warnings however the exact same footage still remains on other you tube pages earlier my colleague union o'neill discussed the removal of artes video with senior correspondent morag as to give. this is just the latest such incident there's you know there's been a chain of them over the past several years and susu this video is new comment right it's just a direct feed from she packed where donald trump now former president was giving his 1st public speech since leaving office emitting he again called and this is what has caused quite a stir in the media he again said that the elections were falsified that there was

a little fraud something that is disputed something that he has offered no proof of but this is a line that he maintains and you tube basically came out and said that you know you had to give this video with a warning with a warning saying that everything trump is saying in this speech which you know there was no comment offered by us that it's all you know i think basically they formulated in the way that it violated their scam and spam policies which is which is very interesting since this is a direct feed of what the former president will say artsy sputnik artsy dortch stream trump speech without any e.d.'s a constant warnings provided the reduce contain trump's full speech about the us 2020 presidential election our fellows up on the internet department they went and looked for the same video on other platforms like reuters a.b.c. the independent and while it's still up it's still up there there's no comment

there's no warning they basically give the same video total trump speech and it's still up there's no shrikes there's new deletion is no warnings there's no other way to call it censorship is the you know it's selectively applying rules to only specific channels through. sputnik that is censorship for example those last year up in arms a documentary about the violent protests in the united in the united states and they were. one thing on both sides both. of the far right protests staged across america they they often turned violent and there was a nazi documentary up in arms so they interviewed activists they interviewed more conservative activists and you tube came out and struck a warning that this is frightening potentially frightening shocking content and basically what that means is people have to log in to you tube they have to be very

1000 years old and it drastically lose the number of views you can potentially get now this documentary used footage widely available everywhere else short all over the place of the loss of goods on c.n.n. on fox news and all sorts of outlets just just the normal user accounts and none of them was struck with a warning label you know a block there was nothing it was only applied to r t then you had another documentary about isis the post published in 2016 last year it was suddenly struck with a warning to view it again you have to log in so for 4 years people watched this video for years nobody had a problem with it and suddenly it becomes shocking content which is a specially interesting because you can find on you tube on facebook you find former sheria judges saying that you know beheadings are normal trying to justify bad things you can find adam will cruelty videos you can find violence but

a documentary about the horrors of isis is now shocking there was also an incident with r.t. arabic where they published a video just a news radio the new new comment know nothing about a medication to do for treating severe could cases that was struck down by you tube because it apparently violated the disinfo mission rules so odds he appealed the appeal was struck down again there's a chain of the incidents there's a pattern where. will russian media a targeted with all these rules that are there in writing that they think up and that he is suddenly. in violation of. you know it's certainly a worrying but i suppose our legal department will be filing notices our guests lionel who's illegal and media analyst and former press pennsylvania senator bruce marks say the policy smacks of double standards. google and you tube and

other other platforms like this are of such in the main nature that they're almost like utilities today imagine if you're on the phone almost on your phone drops because you dared mention hydroxy couric when or said something in favor of donald trump you wouldn't have it and if the utility said well maybe you should just start your own phone company he would say that's ridiculous so it's time for us to recalibrate and redefine what these platforms are there's no doubt that there's a double standard and they can kill 2 birds or even more than 2 birds with one stone you tube is been biased and again those who control it against against president trump. you know that which was obviously obviously against r.t.d. it what's ludicrous is nobody was telling you to take down all the false statements that adam schiff and nancy pelosi and chuck schumer made about the russia hoax

investigation there was a liberal organization will structure in america that wants to suffocate free speech and sadly enough you tube and facebook and twitter are part of it it's it's and saying these agencies these platforms are if you will agencies or instruments of whatever the shadow government the ruling class the deep state i don't know but you're being used as clenching devices to punish people to get a line and people love these platforms so much that they will not talk about or think about anything in fear of losing their beloved you tube or facebook or whatever actually know exactly what they're doing. in other news slovakia has become country number 39 to give the green light to russia's main covert vaccine it's the 2nd e.u. nation to approve sputnik the end of comes as the blocks vaccine shortages continue to mount charlotta been ski has more now on europe struggling and occupation

campaign. well there is dissent in the e.u. ranks who are now saying enough is enough with this slow rollout of the vaccine process that is being watched over by the e.u. let's take slovakia that's become the latest e.u. country to decide it needs to buy doses of the sputnik reback seen from russia its made an order of around 2000000 doses it is the 2nd nation to do that how green is already in new york elating its citizens with the sputnik the vaccine and the czech republic is also said that it's interested in possibly buying it now the sumac in pm said it was necessary to buy this vaccine to boost the inoculation program. buying this russian vaccine was the right thing to do it's trustworthy anyone who wants the job will get one in the next 2 months we will get 1000000 vaccines and then in may in june another 1000000 i believe by meeting the deadlines promised

supplies russia will prove that it's a stable partner we can rely on in these hard times since the coded $1000.00 pandemic does not pay attention to geopolitical issues the protection of human life prevails above all else we've seen fit to buy a russian vaccine so that slovak's who wish to can get vaccinated well that vaccine is due to be used in the next 2 weeks it hasn't of course that regulatory approval by the european union's e m a this is the european medicines agency but in an emergency such as a pandemic if a country in the block decides that it gives approval of vaccine that hasn't been approved on that wide spectrum that can be used now the e.u. is wos according to it though or not something that's a problem within the law but something that's actually to do with russia the natives it seems that this will cause. such actions recently with some

actors in particular once again christian. trying to discredit. that sector is why. all using. these 2 shouldn't exceed. to gain geopolitical. however it's clear that it's the e.u. zone countries that have been questioning the efficacy or vaccines that they may has approved let's take the astra zeneca vaccine for example now both france and germany raised questions about this vaccine president of france describing it as being quasi effective for the over 60 five's germany didn't recommend that it was given to the 60 five's both have since made a u. turn and a singing a different turn poland on its part is apparently in discussions with china to potentially have the vaccine from that also another vaccine that has not been given approval by a while to move to the problems that the e.u.

is facing austria and denmark are now in discussions with israel about potentially money fracturing vaccines in that country in a chance to boost the production to get moved back seems to its citizens chancellor 1 of austria suggesting cook said in his words it was needed because it was exactly like waiting for. my danish colleague has made a good comparison i think she spoke of the catch up effect you probably all remember what ketchup bottle so used to be like what often took a long time before anything came out and then all of a sudden the whole torrent came out and it was similar with facts and nations the e.u. is desperately trying to save face it's now launched a continent one project to try and boost the manufacturing of vaccines but for many in europe this is already too little too late and they feel that they really

have to at this point go it alone. russia now has a 3rd vaccine in its arsenal against the pandemic kovi back it's expected to enter the market later this month and we spoke with the center director behind the shark . when you put out of them can you explain what makes the kovi vaca vaccine different and uses a deactivated virus but what does that actually mean we can we would you know we used a process called in activation which basically means killing the virus vaccines usually use a live virus or an already dead one we're dealing with an inactivated whole cell vaccine in approach that we've been developing for many years all of the vaccines at the chew mock of center are based on this method a significant number of our vaccines form part of the russian national vaccination calendar. causing a lot of the book at what how long did it take to develop the vaccine how did you test it with no. it took almost a year and that's

a very short time no western company has ever managed to produce a vaccine like this in such a short timeframe there are other technologies involved a key step was extracting the virus we went to various clinics and took blood samples from sick patients and tested for the presence of the virus one patient turned out to have a strain that was particularly amenable to our ends we were able to multi-line it and to cultivate it this was followed by the technological stages which manufactured the virus then purified it and then killed it the so-called in activation process as a result we get an industrial strain of the virus fit for mass production you know which from the give you go across the sky doesn't ease the foreign manufacturers said it was impossible to create an effective vaccine in such a short period of time then the lancet magazine published these efficacy data and many more people want to buy our faxing how will you convince the west that your vaccine is as effective. as you know to because it would but if you do

not have to prove the prestige of our institution in the products it makes the institute is 60 years old and it's connected to the victory over polio and yellow fever and we deliver drugs for these diseases abroad so we don't need any promotion the pandemic has. related something akin to a state of war so all our resources have been redirected towards launching the vaccine into civilian circulation it's not about convincing anyone everything we do meets the requirements of the world health organization with which we have close cooperation with the state has the task of solving the civil circulation issue and of doing the promotion the 1st challenge is to obtain the product and then to get it out there in the way it was on morse march 1st of last year that the 1st coronavirus case was founded in a russian national let's take a brief look at now how the following 12 months unfolded.

friends family and neighbors nobody should be left off the snooping radar when it comes to covert rule breakers at least that's according to new zealand's prime minister but has informing become yet another symptom of the pandemic nicky aaron takes up the story. amidst the many lockdowns thousands of face masks and gallons of hand sanitizer kind of it is also encourage families and friends to reconnect check in more often to family quizzes but also question who we can really trust in

new zealand kiwis have been encouraged to turn detective and report to any rule breakers they come across whether they be your friendly local greengrocer or your dear old grandma even with a full understanding of human fallibility it is not appropriate and it is not ok a members of the team of 5000000 to leave the rest of us down and it seems it's a proven practice remember last year when the shit number of do good snitching on their neighbors was so overwhelming it crashed a police website we've had 4200 reports of people believing compline again it shows. determined. to ensure that everyone complies with us convinced the idea of turning us into a world of informers is the key to compliance leaders across the globe competed for the most creative ways to encourages all to tell las matt opted for

a cash incentive you know the old expression about snitches well in this case snitches get rewards we want to thank you for turning folks in and making sure we are all safe in washington police transformed a local up for residents into an express line to rat on your neighbor with governor stay home stay healthy order in effect the bellevue police have developed an easy way for residents to report violations reports logged into the my bellevue would generate a heat map showing where there are potentially illegal gatherings business activity and it's really such was the strength of the ole seeing army they decided to make it official and created $60000.00 jobs for those who felt the need to daub in others and no souls was spat in germany as even politicians felt the wrath of the school you'd think the public might have been appalled by those measures but the enthusiasm was so overwhelming that some police stations in the u.k.

were receiving so many calls that they had to create a separate special hotline for the whole to have cuts and twitching do good as now there's nothing wrong with asking people to remain vigilant and helpful we all have to do our bit but what happens when covert itself coughs it's lost in the pandemic finally blows over the curtain twitchers will just be left nervously twitching hoping to once again be friends and not enemies. so at this news hour a white employee at an elite u.s. college leaves her post over what she calls a quote atmosphere of racial discrimination that story among others after the break .

there is a growing consensus the biden ministration is off to a slow start to date the new president has relied on executive orders this is not unusual but what does that this president apart is the emphasis on what could be called weaponized empathy visit ministration has embraced and locust agenda and all

of their visions that come with this agenda. welcome back to the program a white employee at an elite liberal arts college in the united states has quit over what she calls an atmosphere of racial discrimination there jody shaw outlined the incident for us. i was required to attend training a professional developer retreat and at the training i was asked to talk about my race in the context of my childhood i had asked i told my director beforehand that i'm uncomfortable talking about race in the workplace we're not expected to talk about why it's not legal to ask about race in a job interview so i'm not clear on why we're expected to talk about it as a part of our job so i just said i'm a coder woods talking about race and she said that's fine just don't talk about to say you're uncomfortable so that is exactly what i did at the workshop the

facilitators later told our group that any white person who is resistant to discussing their skin color when requested is not actually uncomfortable what they are doing it is a power play it's called way fragility and it is power play the president of the college dismissed the claims of a racially hostile environment as baseless but in her resignation letter jodi jodi shaw said the climate at the college shifted dramatically following an incident in 2018. her purse. you don't get her you're going on is eating lunch i'm working the summer program so

realizing how many calories. isn't like john is that like this happens way too often where people just like him and. he it is. despite the outcome of the 2018 investigation jodi believes the probe simply stoked racial tensions at the school college is very invested in talking about race in a way that i find is racially hostile and so i believe you for going to talk about race let's talk about it in a meaningful authentic manner which we're not they're not doing presidents i've curriculum really is a christian on that teaches students that their identity is actually a social identity which is made up of immutable characteristics that is their race

their gender their ethnicity but usually race at smith races a big one it's essentially telling them that their skin color is their destiny and it's also setting up this strange dynamic or i would could even call it a toxic dynamic between students of color and white students in which white students of color can only be free if white students confess their oppressor status or their white privilege as they call it the dutch poet has pulled out of translating a poem by an african american author after criticism that a black translator wasn't picked for the job dmitri pollack explores whether or not this is just one case of social justice that's been lost in translation. amanda gorman a young black author recited her poem the hills we climate biden's inauguration in it she called for peace and unity and the togetherness of the american people and

her poem inspired many including dutch author marie clucas reinfeldt who is the youngest winner of the international booker prize award and she was chosen to translate gorman's work into dutch at a time of increased polarization amanda gorman shows in her young fellows the power of spoken warrant the power of frequency the power of someone who looks to the future instead of looking down when i was asked to translate well i could do was say yes and get behind her but it seems reinfeld underestimated the increasing polarization of today's perpetually offended society the announcement quickly caused an uproar why because gorman is black and reinbold who is translating her is white and as we know in 2021 that is just simply unacceptable naturally the mounting criticisms led brian bell to reject the assignment completely i'm shocked

by the opera around mindful of meant in the dissemination of amanda garments message and i understand people who feel hurt by the choice so yet again the fragile her always offended at what they wanted and turned a message about unity and peace into yet another racial and identity politics scandal and apparently from now on everything should just be segregated based on superficial features like race gender or skin color etc and if you're white and not waving the flag of surrender which is also white then you just might be a racist. and shill a long term anti-government protests continue with no end in sight. in the city evolved so protesters attacked police who fought back with water cannons a number of demonstrators were detained the country's been rocked by on rest since

late 2019 activists are demanding the president's resignation as well as economic reforms and the release of detained prisoners. an enormous plume of ash towering around 5 kilometers into the sky was visible from far and wide this week in one of the largest indonesian island of sumatra that followed the eruption of mount cinnabon and left local villages in case in a thick blanket of ash which locals are still struggling to clear away. and here's a perfect story to get your claws into a cat co-working space has opened in moscow designed to home re home fragile felines visitors can adopt any of the rescued cats which are all named after russian cities the number of visitors is restricted to one per cat to stop any for from flying. oh well i might just have to adopt one of those little guys thanks for watching r t international will be back with more news in just about half an hour so stay

tuned. since it other than. pay. a little for him i'm. just the type to use a penny. in the next. moment donkey has. been . used to feel good. it would be.

following welcome to crossfire for all things considered i'm peter lavelle there is a growing consensus the biden ministration is off to a slow start to date the new president has relied upon executive orders this is not unusual but what does set this president apart is the emphasis on what could be called weaponized empathy this administrator who has been braced awoke is the gender and all of the visions that come with this agenda. the discuss these issues and more i'm joined by my guests michael johns in

philadelphia he is a co-founder of the u.s. team. party movement and a former white house speechwriter to president george h.w. bush in los angeles we have jane right she is founder of the right employment lawyers and a political pundit and in oakland we have justin robert young he's host of the politics politics politics pod cast are across up rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it ok let's go to philadelphia 1st michael i think it's widely held that you know that the biden ministrations gotten off to a slow start hasn't got a lot of its appointments and they did go through the the senate was time was taken up with the impeachment the 2nd one promises like $2000.00 checks materialize but the there's been a lot of commentary about the kind of walk us that gender that's coming out of this administration it's more important about someone's background than their abilities and there's a real stress on that and playing with words no longer using illegal alien which is

a legal term ok it's a legal term a non-citizen is this a substitute for policy michel it certainly seems i think you're correct in the sense that it's been driving the agenda of the personnel on the culture of the ministration which is unfortunate because you know it would. be feel the methodology is an x. welcomed election it was nonetheless. the country is essentially a $5050.00 country and it is a rule which the ideological predispositions are in and and and affiliations and they haven't really taken the steps that you would take any steps really to bring about the sort of unification or not or any even timid approach toward an effort in that direction as brian talked about on his inaugural address and i think that's contributed demonstrably to a continued a rouge in support into.
