our headlines this hour out of the white house but still causing a. presidential speech. each platform. on the. conservative conference with. also americans are getting fed up of. the poll found 64 percent of people believe it poses a threat to. the issue. we have to keep in mind that. simply

should no longer well i would hate to live in a world where people are heck even a group of people got to decide what. and therefore what was and was not acceptable . to the e.u. and u.s. for imposing sanctions. saying they're interfering in russia's domestic affairs. you are very good morning thanks for joining us this is r.t. . well he may be out of office but it doesn't mean he's out of the social media spotlight trumps 1st major speech since leaving the white house the conservative political action conference but it's been blocked by you cheap on channels including a.b.c. and r.t. because of a lack of content warnings. now

the dress was widely criticized in the western media with the washington post. for example labeling it a quote stream of delusion depravity malevolence and megalomania but given that you tube is actually censored the speech you may find it difficult to make up your own mind former pennsylvania senator bruce marks who represented trump in the supreme court believes the former president still has a fundamental right to express his opinion or ever it is. he hasn't brought it upon himself because he's doing what he's allowed to do under the us constitution we have the 1st amendment it protects freedom of speech doesn't protect speech simply because it's right it doesn't protect speech just because it's popular it protects all speech so i don't think he's brought it upon himself at all i think he's absolutely entitled to his opinion well 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 against president trump 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 i mean if there's anything it could be has been demonstrated to be absolutely untrue over the last 4 years is that donald trump didn't conspire with russia to win the 2016 election and where is you tube taking down you know videos that have to do with the infamous steal you know gossip it was just made up absolutely scandalous allegations about donald trump and his hotel room at the ritz carlton moscow but there is a liberal organization who will structure in america that wants to suffocate free speech and sadly enough you tube and facebook and twitter are part of. a poll last year by the pew research center found that most americans think social media

senses political fecit also found many republicans believe the big tech companies favor the liberal vs legal and media analyst law i don't believe he changed latest move is an attempt to silence political opponents. google and you tube and other other platforms like this are of such in the main nature had their own most like utilities today imagine if you're on the phone over saying your phone drops because you dared mention hydroxy chloroquine or said something in favor of donald trump you wouldn't have it and if the utility said well maybe you should start your own phone company was it that ridiculous so it's time for us to recalibrate and redefine what these platforms are they're not they're not the union platform this is you tube this is international it's more than that and these distinctions have to change and what it is is 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 in 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 to were facebook or whatever so they know exactly what they're doing. or the controversy surrounding the c.p. conference doesn't end with you tube's blocking of trump speech the hyatt hotel chain that hosted that event is now facing calls over a controversial stage design killable put explains when it comes to political conferences it's supposed to be the people on the stage to make the headlines not the stage itself but the shape of the stage at the annual conservative political action conference has become a headline in more ways than one after members of the liberal establishment noticed that it was the shape similar to

a nazi rule and claimed this was intentional it was the hyatt hotel that hosted the event and now it's getting it in the neck such a stupid and short sighted business decision by her yet i've stayed in that hotel chain countless times over the years never again in other wards so to find hosts nonces. hate high out hotels highly inclusive does not mean hosting people who are not highly inclusive hosting a fascist nazi convention is the antithesis of inclusiveness you have made a grave error in judgment the imminent boycotts you're going to feel for years to come some fact checking websites are now even questioning whether it was done on purpose the shape of the nazi symbol is eerily similar to the shape of the stage at sea pink however we are presently unable to confirm whether this was a deliberate choice made by the event organizers the moments we rate this claim is unproven. the theory is that the sea pack stage resembled the odal room used

in the archaic norse an anglo-saxon alphabets as the equivalent of the modern letter o and also meaning estate or heritage the nazis used this symbol during their rule in germany and many groups that track anti-semitism and white supremacy is a classify it as a hate symbol now the hyatt hotel has denounced the symbol and said they had no power over how the stage was designed at the c. pak conference i whenever the organizers of see pac say this is all a conspiracy staged design conspiracy is outrageous and slanderous we have a long standing commitment to the jewish community council culture extremists must address don't assume it isn't within their own ranks broadly stands with jewish allies including those speaking from the stage moreover some jewish people have even mocked the attacks on c.

pak as the grandson of holocaust survivors and as a proud american marine and jew i find these types and see parts to be outrageous and grotesque so as to destroy a narrative but he was a friday night. critics of the liberal narrative of pointed out that nazis are far from the only people to use old norse rooms for example the symbol of bluetooth is derived from ancient european writings symbols that were also appropriated by fascists and the lord of the rings books and movies also contain similar symbols i was at sea packed and i you don't need anyone who told me that sea pact was an anti sematic event i would have just actually laughed in their face 1st of all the stage would have been an upside down version of the a little room so if they were really trying to put it in a position of saying that that's part of their sensibilities then why would they put it upside down secondly as a member of the audience i didn't even know what the stage looked like until i saw it on twitter you could even see it from the audience perspective so who designed

the stage was an intentional is see pac responsible is hyatt hotel responsible we may never really know the answer but one thing that is for sure is that this controversy is certainly a sign of the times in the united states of america. r c new york. political blogger anthony brown logan believes that the hotel may not be in this position if it hadn't hosted a conservative event there could be conspiracies are there just a severance whose people believe in it because there's already a bias against conservatives anyway so the mainstream media has placed the seed ok conservatives are bad they're racist they're hateful so when we say and now legace think about them well we can just make it where you believe it because you already believe they're bad anyway so is that really a big stretch to think they would do something else days bad because it's already thing got there about going to be in bay to begin with and maybe the whole thing about the rudin is there but it does mean there was intended to be there they'd

sanction does it matter all that matters is they can link it some kind of way and have regular people believe it because there was already preprogramming to exist. staying in the us the rise of so-called council culture is being seen by some as such a threat to freedom of speech that one u.s. lawmaker is calling on congress to address the issue cancel culture is a dangerous phenomenon whether you agree or disagree with the views been censored if cancer cancer continues unchallenged it is not just the unpopular controversial viewpoints that are at risk. a recent poll found 64 percent of americans agree that boycotting or removing certain types of content does actually pose a threat to freedom in the country he also found 80 percent of republicans consider council culture a threat only 48 percent of democrats the issue has been highlighted by a number of high profile cases over the past year alone for example last week amazon pulled a book by a conservative author that challenges the transgender movement really to democrat

representatives called on cable companies to stop posting conservative leaning news channels and in 2020 an editor at the new york times resigned over an opinion piece by a republican senator that advocated the use of military force in protests it's an issue we discussed with a panel of guests. the problem with cancel culture is that when we're looking into people's past 20 years ago 30 years ago in some cases what does it look like holding people responsible now for things that they have done i mean almost a generation ago can't people change can't people become better people as time goes on cancell culture does not allow for that have i said things that i think you know in 20 years maybe you'll look and say oh you should have said that while that's true and it makes us all need to be more mindful of how we conduct ourselves and what we say it's not ok to just speak so freely about people of different colors of different races socioeconomic status or handicaps we need to be mindful that our society has locals of so many types of people there are of course racist people out

there is the best way to change their minds and improve race relations to simply silence anyone who goes against the narrative or should we actually be doing more to engage with those people and maybe explain why their actions might hurt others or try to change their opinions how many people have had their mind changed by being silenced it just doesn't seem like a long term strategy that will work our society has largely built on racism our society has largely built one things that are just racism to some integrity to who america is that to strip people of that racism seems anti * american until you have people who want a little better instead she's all know this with my great great grandfather well ok but her great great grandfather that black people were some who are being and that they should have rights so you know we have to keep in mind that you have a lot of people holywell into ideologies that simply should no longer exist well i would hate to live in a world where one people or heck even

a group of people got to decide what was and wasn't racist and therefore what was and was not acceptable in the public sphere that goes just intrinsically against the concept of freedom of expression which is essential if you hope to have a culture in a society where different people with different. indians can actually live peacefully together we're not going to continue to coddle racism in america that's simply not the role that we we should probably take it's best that we began to doubt all of the structures that are harmful whether they are on facebook or a mine in a park it's time to take those down and move forward and here with us or you're in . the u.k. children under the age of 16 have been able to order powerful 6 change hormones online and without their parents' knowledge this is after an investigation found an e.u. transgender clinic was issuing prescriptions after just a few online consultations i made a brash decision as a teenager as a lot of teenagers do trying to find confidence and happiness except now the rest

of my life will be negatively affected the rules for prescribing cross sex hormones to minors in britain were tightened by the high court last year they must now be approved by 2 specialist doctors and a court order over a loophole means prescriptions issued in the u. are accepted in u. k. pharmacies. gender g.p. and said it prescribes sex hormones to more than 1800 patients around one in 6 of whom are under 16 years old including a child of just turn the founder of the clinic has been suspended since $28.00 teen after she prescribed hormones to a 12 year old and a g.p. defended its practices saying that not all parents supported the child's decision to change sex for psychotherapy or sue evans fears the long term consequences for children. we all kind of tend to on the easy answers all the sort of quick carcasses and so they come across this information and in the websites and

transition is who sort of talk about the positive aspects of it and how great it is that but actually there isn't any kind of the longer term picture it doesn't really provide a full picture for these young people this is a medication pathway that leads to irreversible damage and it's also experimental and you know there are some serious harms that might occur. to people in their later life there is a certain politicized element to this and that i think that there isn't misinformation provided by some of the organizations. and it's been very difficult to to speak. you know more openly about you know what is going on in the area people get afraid to comment about the situation and certainly medics clinicians get very worried about speaking out so at whole terms of social

media now a gambas been hacked with those behind the attacks threatening to disclose information on people they believe belong to the far right that story and others after this break.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of sport i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. welcome back the social network which positions itself as an alternative to twitter has been hacked those behind the attack and threatening to release information on people they believe along to the far right with more details has done a hawk. let's face it nobody likes to be hacked estimates say hackers strike every 39 seconds cyber crime will of course the world 6 trillion dollars by the end of

this year but you don't hear about most of these incidents or the groups behind them and one man's a hacker or criminal is another man's whistleblower activist one group struck just this weekend the culprits it is true with a denial of secrets or didio secrets group targets gab social network the aim to expose the platforms largely right wing users the transparency group to do secrets will make the 70 gigabytes of bestfoods private post and more and will bill 2 researchers join the lists and social sciences emma best one of the groups co-founders previously leaked private messages for a wiki leaks chat at least in part accusing the organization of hate towards hillary clinton even though the group claims to be neutral with low political motive there was a special hatred of hillary clinton and a desire to derail the campaign they wanted to use the leaks to divide the clinton

and sanders groups to prevent hillary from solidifying the base gabbers alternative social media platform favored by the all right many of whom are grated there of the parlor similar platform was also targeted by activists later removed all together from major online stores and gap c.e.o. andrew talwar didn't mince his words in his response to the incident mentally ill tranny demon hackers are attacking gab right now the entire company has all hands investigating what happened it's not like the video secrets as had it all easy last summer the group published blue leaks hundreds of gigabytes of u.s. law enforcement agency data and was swiftly banned by 2 of violating rules of publishing hacked materials speaking of twitter the social media giant also tried to limit users access to the new. your post hunter biden laptop story also citing its hacked materials policy only to back down following an outcry and change the

policy altogether and while we heard fierce criticism of wiki leaks release of information on the d n c into a d 16 there was no such storm surrounding didio secrets release of a huge mass of hacked documents from inside russia in 2019 the enemy of my enemy is my friend is perhaps the most appropriate mantra in the great twilight zone of hacktivism it's hard to define black and white we can only 2nd guess the motives of the hundreds of how could groups around the world that we can probably predict how the powers that be will respond and simply wait for the next record breaking set of leaks. reparations should be paid to wall african american people for centuries of systemic racism and slavery according to joe biden's advisor cedric richmond we don't want to wait on the study you were going to act and now we have to start breaking down sistema greases and barriers of people of color burke and especially

african-americans a special commission supported by democratic lawmakers is expected to examine slavery past discriminatory policies and measures to tackle racism today these could include changes to how history is taught in the u.s. and reparation payments the issue of race came to the fore again last spring with the death of george floyd an african-american man who was killed while being arrested the incident provoked a wave of protests across the u.s. and around the globe headed by the black lives matter movement as a result the number of prominent democrats started looking into how to right the wrongs of the power including the question of reparations we spoke to the executive director of an hyphenated america who's actually against the idea. all the people who were sleeps or did all the people who all. slaves are good and so are those work race is going to go to i think i write a check to me i've been free for 5 plus generations why would i receive

a check the logic says it's ridiculous it's absolutely absurd to say to someone whose family came here 50 years ago that now you must be penalized for something that happened to my ancestors 150 years ago long before your family even thought of come to the united states of america i'm pretty certain that we'll make it through the congress i don't think the house of representatives will do anything to remove that portion of it it is 5000000000 dollars out of a $1.00 trillion dollars package. just the way the congress works they're not that's that's literally pennies to them so that will most likely pass through but the greater picture will there be some real reparations for black people as a whole most likely president by this done little so nothing for black voters so this is one of those things where 'd it's throwing a bone to black voters that is not likely to actually make it through but it gives

him the impression gives people the impression is actually trying to do something. washington and brussels have slapped sanctions on a number of senior russian officials and organizations over the jailing of kremlin critic alexei navalny moscow hit back at the move calling it interference in the country's legal system and has vowed to respond in kind corresponding diff explains . these latest sanctions were announced by the european union and the united states almost simulate a noose the nuns are making today was done in harmony with the e.u. announcement it was not meant to be a silver bullet or an ending to what has been a difficult relationship with russia we expect the relationship to continue to be a challenge we're prepared for that and we're neither seeking to reset our relations with russia nor are we seeking to escalate so the american sanctions the wider in scope they target for example 7 officials but also for team and due

process that the united states believes are engaged in manufacturing components for chemical and biological weapons the european sanctions they target russian officials for officials the attorney general the head of the investigative committee the chief of the national guard the head of the federal penitentiary service so these officials have been slapped with restrictive measures travel bans visa restrictions for their role in the arrest of election of on their leg rest and sentencing to one of years he's now serving behind bars for violating the terms of his parole he had been given a suspended sentence years ago now for embezzling defrauding the company in russia germany and other countries they they believe that russia was behind he's alleged poisoning russia's response to that has been look show is a shred of proof because all we've heard so far is claims and what they've received

from the german side from the european union is silence they've been stonewalled completely and utterly and russia here now says that it will respond to these sanctions as it always does absurdity reign supreme when the election poisoning of alexina valmy with a military great toxic agent is been proclaimed as a reason. imposing sanctions all this is just a pretext to continue interfering in our internal affairs we are not going to put up with this we'll respond based on the reciprocity principle but not necessarily symmetrically we're calling on our colleagues not to play with fire just several weeks ago we heard european pieces coming out and say why are we supporting alexina vonnie you know if he had been arrested in any other country but russia we wouldn't even 3 be saying his name and this is judy his nationalist past being called you

know saying very anti-semitic things anti muslim things homophobic things and this is you know presumably why amnesty international for example recently decided to deprive him of the label of prisoner of conscious they they still say that you know he's a political prisoner they believe he's a political prisoner in the day should be released but he's not a prisoner prisoner of conscious because of the views that he holds this is obviously the opening salvo of the united states concurrently as it was announcing these sanctions so that there would be more to come for other reasons for having for whatever else i'm sure that europe will come out and say that this is unwarranted earlier we spoke to vlad images of russia's permanent representative to the e.u. he questioned the logic behind the move. these are not sanctions sanctions. according to international law it will do which is slowly in the hands of the un

security council everything else. they regarded as unilateral restrictive measures illegitimate by definition the european union and also member states taking a really nice position. the mandating that russia will lose the role opens a criminal investigation into the alleged always an ngo and i was up providing a me evidence to the. planes or in games like russia's in the press we are all the c.w. in the hague in the hague and they know years ago it was a dream and government and rice a loser. my props it up for this news are you watching are to international thanks for your company join me for updates.
