for biden we are in another great ideological struggle but there is a difference the west particularly the united states is the only ideological actor . in the headlines this friday a test and trace britain's 37000000000 pound tracing system shows limited effectiveness after almost a year in operation as the findings published in one of the u.k.'s major medical journal. doctors vent their fury of prison for failing to deliver on his promise to speed up banks in nations as frontline battle overwhelming covert case loads. of actionis from we believe the government is to blame for the fact that we have to work incredibly slowly put at the same time in a completely gruelling regime. also the social media thought police arrested again facebook scrubs

a video of an interview with donald trump posted by his daughter and or other platforms banning the former president earlier this year. good morning and thanks for joining us here on r.t. . the 37000000000 pound test and tray system that u.k. prime minister boris johnson wants hailed as world beating the show in limited effectiveness that's the finding of a major study published in the british medical journal it also raises concerns about how few british people are willing to take a test. that was dashed he explains. well beating and world leading that's what the u.k. is testing try to stem was supposed to be is that how it looks though almost a year on the results indicate that about half of people know the symptoms of covert 19 and the difference to each stage of tests trace an isolate is low but

improving slowly and if you'd still think that everything's fine only one in 5 people with symptoms actually request a test the groundbreaking skiing was designed to identify positive case and alert possible others but in reality more than a year since the pandemic started the government has apparently failed to teach people how to identify covert symptoms and if it's not for lack of spending the government forked out $37000000000.00 pounds on track and trace but it's worth it to take the pressure off the n.h.s. right wrong turns out the failures of the scheme have arguably pushed those on the front line to work even harder and the facts they get for it and one percent pay rise which actually due to inflation turns out to be a pay cut rather than putting money into the public n.h.s. and local councils to be run by public services they decided to invest billions in a largely privatized outsource system so you have a hugely expensive why delhi thant which failed to prevent the 2nd wave of the

pandemic and they have the cheek to call the test and. the n.h.s. tests and faces them but it's not run by the n.h.s. so it's very deceptive it's very wasteful and fundamentally it's corrupt and you think the government would just admit its mistake a multi-billion pound mistake but instead since last may n.h.s. testing traces contacted 3200000 people who tested positive and another 6400000 of their contacts behind these numbers are countless lives saved and the latest owen esta to sticks show that when people are asked to self isolate the overwhelming majority do so well with tests and try stuff being paid a grand a day and highest paid 6 and a half. you'd hope isolation method would be better stressed $37000000000.00 pounds its total cost and gets a lot of money but could all be justifiable if it worked only it didn't as there is no evidence the scheme made a blind bit of difference to prevent the 2nd lock down nor this one for that matter

. doctors in france are venting their frustration at president micron's failure to deliver on his promise to speed up vaccinations as the nation enters its 3rd logged out they warned the lack of available doses is now critical with ever more seriously ill covert patients being admitted to already overwhelmed hospitals but the president insists that the rollout is happening at full throttle. to him when up or vaccinate we are putting all means to vaccinate vaccinate vaccinate with our response without holidays saturdays and sundays just like weekdays. the general practitioners like myself are not currently receiving vaccines for 2 weeks now we've not had any vaccines available for injection we've been working for 9 months without stop and without vacation 7 days a week as mr macron says due to the inability to complete the work on time due to

a lack of vaccines we believe the government is to blame for the fact that we have to work incredibly slowly but at the same time in a completely grueling regime simply because of a lack of equipment the new wave of code will lead to overcrowding in hospitals we already know this will happen we are already deciding which patients get treatment and which don't because about 60 percent of operations were cancelled. wednesday the french president promised to increase the number of intensive care beds above 10000 but doctors say that it will come at the expense of non covert patients another problem is lack of staff as intensive care requires additional special training and equipment better on the ground again says that these challenges could have been avoided if micron had acted earlier commitment because emanuel macron has woken up a year after the start of the crisis the year ago in march the need for a large number of hospital beds and beds in intensive care took us by surprise but

after a year the number of beds has not increased there is however a positive point unlike last year we do not need a large number of ventilators not because they were produced but because they're now used in a much later stage of the disease now it's enough to simply provide patients with enhanced oxygen therapy the problem however is that the appropriate technology has not been installed in our hospitals as a result of exigent therapy sites are still limited responsibility for this rests entirely with the manual macron who endlessly delayed the adoption of measures even preventative measures such as supplying hospitals with oxygen cylinders and oxygen therapy devices necessary for treating patients. thousands of anonymous reports of sexual harassment my pupils in u.k. schools to shine a spotlight on the abuse faced by students around 100 schools have been named in testimonies including private institutions more than 11000 accounts of sexual

harassment in british schools were posted on the everyone's invited website which is aimed at exposing rape culture in the u.k. that figures more than doubled in the past 2 days the majority of testimonies detail the harassment of girls and included posts from children as young as 9. meanwhile a recent survey by charity plan international u.k. reveals 58 percent of girls aged $14.00 to $21.00 have been publicly harassed at school found girls experience unwanted sexual comments as well as being grabbed and 3 quarters of girls said that schools should support those who have experienced public sexual harassment the u.k. government launched an emergency review and a hotline to support victims of sexual abuse in schools the british education sector so that he's committed to ensuring victims feel supported katie russell the national spokesperson for rape crisis england and wales says that this is by no means

a new problem these statistics aren't particularly surprising to you as we know that sexual violence and abuse and sexist bullying and sexual harassment are far more widespread in the general population then many people appreciate but also there was a women inequality select committee report into precisely this issue sex is bullying sexual harassment and sexual violence in schools just a few years ago and made a series of recommendations which the government has largely ignored and thale to act upon so this is not a new phenomenon and really the question is why more hasn't been done by government to tackle this situation sooner any action of course is welcome that these feel very much like sort of kneejerk responses to a situation that as a say you know there's not been are known about. donald trump may have been banned by social media giants but that doesn't mean that there purge

of the ex-president is over facebook is removed an interview with him posted by his daughter in law on the scale of morbid looks at whether social media giants or the new thought police. big tech censorship just keeps coming the latest is an interview from former u.s. president donald trump getting scrubbed from facebook in line with the bill quip placed on donald trump's facebook an instagram account says a content posted in the voice of donald trump will be removed and result in additional limitations on the account donald trump is not the president anymore you sunning himself in florida so why exactly is it so dangerous for people to hear his interpretation of world events and just like that we are one step closer to wilson 1984 wow joe biden keeps repeating that big tech are his allies in his efforts to create a world where everyone has freedom of speech and the united states is spreading human rights across the planet but some are saying that a social media purge of

a former president sets a dangerous precedent it is an issue that we have got to be thinking about because anybody who thinks. yesterday was donald trump was banned and tomorrow could be somebody else who has a different very different point of view so i don't like giving that much power to a handful of high tech people but the devil is obviously in the details and it's something we're going to think long and hard on and that is how you preserve 1st amendment rights without moving this country into a big lie a mentality and conspiracy theory all kinds of pro trump voices have been purged from social media you've got the removal of retired general michael flynn sidney power and 2008 vice presidential candidate of the libertarian party and commentator wayne allen root we've also seen big tech declare certain news stories to be off limits they have shut down discussion of the biden family and their shady business dealings they have actually scrub search results to remove conservative media

outlets but yet all kinds of inappropriate content remains on social media 40 percent of americans have faced online harassment or hate. california wants to hold big tech accountable for what they are not censoring while they're too busy playing politics instead californians is becoming increasingly alarmed about the role of social media in promoting hate disinflation conspiracy theories and extreme political polarization trost of social media has dropped to a low of 35 percent and it's not surprising either how social media originated with the idea being it would be a place for all kinds of people to be free to speak up and explore the marketplace of ideas instead it's turned into a place for playing politics and pushing some people's agenda while suppressing others they are afraid because of the fault with doing great by the american people who plans to set president try to get him out the way so he won't be able to run

for office the office again because you know if you did run for office again that he will win we need to look back at the 1st amendment when it comes to the media because we have seen how the. coming from big tech and the media these people have too much control they have became rich and they really don't care about mappin you know your opinion so if government want to reign in big taken against they could do it tomorrow if they wanted to do that the republican party democrat party is the same on big tex democrats and republicans on the same boat it take 2000000 so bury the flag for saying the whole thing is political again the former u.s. president still the only one who's been purged by social media giants actress and activist rose per gallon shed her own experience of being ousted by big tech. where you go pray to. a little pretty much speech going against your families i don't understand why you support evil chapters in one of the law.

i was just spent by twitter for posting and internet. a bill clinton and getting massaged by and no one flagged it for indeed i was just trying to drive the point home about a disgusting human doing disgusting i know twitter is trying to silence me and i know a lot of the powerful democrats are behind the deactivated it's fire of the 4 days after i helped out harvey weinstein my attacker in the new york times expose a 4 years ago there is a worldwide it will boycott twitter for 24 hour protests until the reinstated me. and they have what i have been shouting and ever since i am tired of having these men's feet on my neck i am tired of having to hand over my mouth you guys are old

pros to be tracked for rose right the little grows and you're supposed to be the freedom of speech rap. and that is a lot. of passenger train has derailed in east and taiwan reportedly killing at least 40 people more than 60 others have been injured here 30 so many more are feared to be dead dozens more people are also believed to be still trapped inside the wreckage express train in question is believed to come off the tracks at around 9 am local time it was carrying around $350.00 passengers youngster looks like being the island's worst real disaster for decades the last major train derailment in taiwan was in 2008 see the incident leaving 18 people that. stay with r.t. more news coming up after this break.

one almost seems wrong. just. yet to shape out this day. and in. the trail. one song find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. as an individual committed a crime so nice to be an international community a crime. even 20 years later when that individual is 40 are you still publishing the person who committed the crime or is the person being punished for something that they were a completely different person at the time one doesn't expire one is

a person's actions no longer mommy to judge them for us and everyday basis. welcome back beijing has lashed out at washington after us some bust of the made his 1st official visit to taiwan in more than 40 years china considers the island part of its territory it's often been a point of contention in international relations but this isn't the 1st on washington's stepped on china's toes in the region the quarter lateral security dialogue has recently been reestablished which some have labeled the asian nato summit right as more. the rise of china and subsequent tantrum in the west is heading the way these things always do the great powers and some not so great ones are getting together and holding hands and forming alliances so anything really bad

happens we can all suffer together in the blue corner we have the cord for the 1st try we're convening this group leader yet that meeting was a few weeks ago a meeting of the quadrilateral security dialogue or quote for short because no one can remember the real name who comes out with those names anyway it's made up of the united states india japan and australia some might suggest a more clues than quads the aim of the gang is a free and open indo-pacific that was the promise after the 1st summit between the leaders of the us india japan and australia so there really are the words is to keep china in its place brilliantly about every using the word china i show you want me you will take a look at their p.r. video often in a few words as we go. in the dish to be china free and open and close it and help the unless you china. to be china i think straight course power china committed to addressing the world's defining challenge the rise

of china moment of crisis something. to be china. and china. about the threat of climate change and combat the threat of china our savior the pain of watching you basically goes on like that some of the cord the asian nato we say 50 denied because it is not a minute to your lines for the 1st time canada is participating in a joint exercise in the pacific ocean with the nations to rise the. sea definitely not a military alliance as ever though self-interest is likely to be the main enemy of this group they 1st got together back in 2004 to respond to the booking day tsunami when they tried to go steady off towards. make it all a bit more official they realized it wasn't going to work because none of them really wanted to annoy china. now almost 15 years after they gave up on the cord in the 1st place they're back and they realize they do want to annoy china now because

the us is scared of being used as the global bully indios just have a border clash with china literally with sticks and australia is facing economic sanctions from beijing so yeah return of the cord we know that our allies have complex relationships with china that always align perfectly enter key u.s. ally south korea which is doing all it can to stay out of the cord after realizing that while it relies on the us for its security it does most of its shopping in china australia doesn't seem to have noticed it in the same position hence those sanctions from beijing china has called the quad an excuse to form clique's and openly incite discord between regional countries with that in mind is building is own clique to incite discord your reaction to china making a big push into the mid east with a new 25 year deal with china and iran. is really struggling to see the oars cues and she so yes china and iran have signed

a 25 year cooperation deal among other things beijing will be buying iranian oil in defiance of u.s. sanctions i mean just like the quote never says the c word china iran didn't exactly say of the signing but this is one big middle finger where lee washington the big geopolitical beast then are picking their teams and taking sides i need to worry about i'm sure. if you notice states government there's no bigger responsibility than guarding the nuclear launch codes so to reassure americans that there is a strategic command's been keeping them up to date via twitter. if

it takes us strategic command 30 minutes to recognize a missed tweet how long before they recognize we're under attack. i'm pretty sure your strategic command just launched all the news. there lo l. maybe it was a secret code or not so secret message for a nation leader which is who every type that was trying to. look like they kept walked mbeki but. if this is the level of security what other forms of laxness might be exhibited somewhere along the way we're becoming so lax we're losing our minds there's also this idea that all children are at home now this is the time of covais don't you understand children are at home earlier

misadventure it's bound to happen. over when everything i do something good has really happened do you mean to tell me that that something like this was left open that. that that it isn't that i worry that much at home. russia is expanding the global rollout of a sputnik vaccine the russian direct investment fund which is overseeing production has struck a deal to buy 100000000 doses of the job in china. cooperation will help increase production capacities a sputnik v. in china to provide the necessary amounts and help partners in the country and globally to fight the pandemic china is one of the major production hopes for sputnik v. and we are ready for increasing the scope of partnership with local producers to meet the rising demand for the russian vaccine. those upcoming stocks will be

enough to vaccinate 50000000 people each person needing 2 doses russian jobs not yet been approved for use in china but assuming that does happen the chinese manufacturer will distribute it domestically as well as abroad fast printing v. has been licensed in almost 60 countries under a fair specialist victor gal thinks moscow and beijing have plenty to gain from working together on vaccines. for china to help russia to produce the a vaccine and to introduce that to chinese consumers as well as markets outside of china will be a very china has one of the largest the manufacturing capacity is in fact seeing so if we use the formula produced by the russian side or the production of a vaccine for the cli in china it will be a when we situation i do not see any reason why is that seeing should not be approved of by which our news roll it's a real oranges and i hope the chinese people will have

a choice if they want to use one or 2 or 3 chinese vaccines they will be able to do that if they prefer the vaccine they were have a choice to be made by themselves. ok that is the news for this hour before we go though a quick announcement about something literally out of this world that's coming to r.t. because this month marks 60 years since eureka gardens momentous 1st man journey into space and so to mark the special occasion artie will be interviewing some of today's pioneers of space exploration so watch this space.

historically speaking in the cold war was a great ideological confrontation western liberalism versus soviet communism according to the great geo political struggle of our time is democracy versus autocracy. we are in another great ideological struggle but there is a difference the west particularly the united states is the only ideological. if you're born into a poor family you're born into a minority family if you're born into a family that has

a single parent that really constrains your life chances people. fight every day to meet your needs and the needs of your family. the wall street frauds going all the way back to the twenty's they're not different . brand. sold again. so the. variation on the dot com fraud which is a variation on the mortgage crime fraud fraud the g.d.p. would be it would be negative 20 percent. in the 1920 s. and thirty's several 100 african-americans moved to the soviet union and many still

live in russia. always took on things. like american suffered from racism and a complete lack of prospects. of the real. one by elsa still by doing. so they decided to leave everything behind and start a new life in a country about which they knew almost nothing at all some of the are people who are looking. around the crowd. the moon being a few blown all clues you. know almost a 100 years later history is repeating itself my great grandfather george time went to russia. probable wars. to go anywhere why not me.

when i come here. oh i'm d. so people visionaries me of the shevardnadze a punishment for crying is an essential component of our civilization but it didn't going to get replaced actually make any safer well as home to rosemary richard daley said we ought to coordinate our moral universe you linda associates director at the katydids you have a big safety research treatment. rosemary richard alley criminology korda

nader at memorial university of new found land this is yet scientific director at the canadian situation of public safety research treatment rose great to have you with us on our show today welcome. thank you bradley it's a pleasure all right so as a researcher of a consideration tell me what do we have prisons for i mean do reassign here prisons in order to punish people for breaking the law or maybe isolate dangerous people who are correct and be able to tearing others from breaking the law what is it which one is it improves prisoners or is a variety of purposes but in in its ideal form there is no ideal form so that's just but in essence the punishment shouldn't be your time incarcerated the punishment is being removed from society removed from all of your belongings your.

loves and being and serving out a period of time where you're away from everyone in prison itself should not be punitive in nature the idea of going to prison that removal from life that is is the punishment for for the different transgressions that result in incarceration robert blake lewis or a prison isn't letters that mobsters days or any or a can carry the united states they say correctional facilities or question officers etc where do we get this idea that prison can correct people and what exactly it is supposed to correct so i think when you look at the corrective nature the rehabilitative nature of prison i think every prison service wants to be rehabilitated and then make sure i think that's an underpinning prison in the east in canada correctional services are very much they flush away in terms of what they offer based on basically whoever is governing who who have or is in the.
