then he was here for i think we're part of the 1st from. you know headlines this friday a test and trace flaw held by the u.k. prime minister as being the world's leading there are now concerns about the effectiveness of the country's 37000000000 pound tracing system and after a report on you kate major medical journals. that's where french doctors found their furious president marc wrong for failing to deliver on his promise to speed up vaccination seems from blunt medics battle overwhelming covert caseload. i'm sure that 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. also the social media told

police that while they're out of the game face book scrubs a video of an interview with donald trump posted by his daughter ignore redound other platforms than the former president earlier this year. by the great to have you with us this is r.t. international. the 37000000000 pound test and trace system that u.k. prime minister boris johnson wants hailed as world. like it didn't quite live up to all the hype that's according to a major study published in the british medical journal this raise concerns how effective it really is. it is thanks to n.h.s. tests to trace the we're able to send kids back to school and to here. and irreversibly to reopen our economy and restart our lives our data suggests that so

for reported rates of full adherence to isolating and testing are low as are rates of recognition of the main symptoms of covert 19 with such low rates for sins and recognition testing and full self isolation the effectiveness of the current form of the you case test trace an isolate system is limited well beating and wild leading that's what the u.k. is testing try to stem was supposed to be is how it looks though almost a year on only one in 5 people with symptoms actually requests a test the groundbreaking scheme 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 cope with symptoms and if it's not for lack of spending the government's forked out 37000000000 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 white elephant 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 fundamentalist corrupt and you think the government would just admit its mistake a multi-billion pound mistake but instead since last may and h.s. test and trace has contacted 3200000 people who tested positive and another 6. $4000000.00 of their contacts behind these numbers are countless lives saved while the test interest staff being paid a grand a day and highest paid 6 and a half a day you'd hoped 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's no evidence the scheme made a blind bit of difference to prevent the 2nd knock 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 of vaccinations mers the nation enters a 3rd log down there warning that the lack of available doses is now critical with other more seriously ill patients being admitted to already overwhelmed hospitals but the president insists that the rollout is happening full throttle. we're putting all means to vaccinate vaccinate vaccinate without 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 macro says judy 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 canceled on wednesday the french president promised to increase the number of intensive care beds to more than 10000 doctors though say will come at the expense of long covert patients another problem is lack of stuff as intensive care requires additional special training and equipment from the ground again says that those challenges could have been avoided if micron it acted earlier. imagine mccloskey emmanuel 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 oxygen 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 an oxygen therapy device is necessary for treating patients.

thousands of anonymous reports of sexual harassment by pupils in u.k. schools or shine a spotlight on the abuse faced by students around $100.00 schools have been named in testimonies including private institutions over $11000.00 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. the 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 just 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 the girls experience unwanted sexual comments as well as being grabbed 3 quarters of girls said schools should support those who've experienced public sexual harassment. the u.k. government's launched an emergency review and a hotline to support victims of sexual abuse in schools the british education

secretary said that he's committed to ensuring victims feel supported katie russell national spokesperson for rape crisis england and wales so this is by no means a new problem the statistics aren't particularly surprising to us 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 failed 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 the purge of the former president is over facebook has removed an interview with him and posted by his daughter in law i think kelly morgan of whether social media giants are 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 quit 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 he was 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 sinking about because of anybody who thinks. yeah yesterday it was donald trump who 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 are 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. we do a great for the american people who plans to set president shop up to get him out of 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 cause 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 if government want to reign in big taken against they can 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 takes 2 going so bury the flag for say the whole thing is a political gain. the former u.s. presidents on the other one has been purged by social media giants actress and activist rose mcgowan chose her experience of being ousted by big tank. what do you pray to. a little pretty much speech going against your brownies i don't understand

why you support evil characters' and one of the law. i was just spend it by twitter for posting an internet photo of bill clinton and getting massaged by an unknown woman they flagged it for indeed i was just trying to drive the point home about a disgusting human doing disgusting things i know twitter is trying to silence me and i know a lot of the powerful democrats are behind the deactivated may not entirely 4 days after i helped out harvey weinstein my attacker in the new york times expose a 4 years ago there is a world wide it will boycott where for 24 hour protests until they reinstated me.

and they have been shouting and ever since i'm tired of having these men's feet on my neck i'm 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 to speak the rap. and that is a lie. a passenger train has derailed in eastern time with 48 people confirmed dead more than 90 others have been injured the latest reports from the national far agency say 490 people were on board the express train came off the tracks at around 9 am local time it's the looks like being the island's worst well disaster for decades the last major train derailment in taiwan was in 2018 it left 18 people dead. still on the way to this hour the u.s. state department pledges to respect julian this. as human rights if extradited as his supporters read it's rape warnings he's being persecuted and lifting the lid on

the west for crimes will be the full story after this break.

as an individual committed a crime some least in intelligence related crime and. even 20 years later when the individuals 40 are you still publishing the person who committed the crime or is the person being punished for something they were a completely different person at the time one doesn't expire one is a person's actions no longer you need to judge them for it and every. facing has lashed out at washington after a u.s. ambassador made his 1st official visit to taiwan in more than 40 years surely considers the island part of its territory and it's off the bit a point of contention in international relations but this isn't the 1st time washington has stepped on china's toes in the region quadrilateral security dialogue has recently been reestablished some have labeled the asian nato summit

right explains. 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 convene this group leader yet that meeting was a few weeks ago a meeting of the quadrilateral security dialogue or 'd 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 name 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 they're really mean 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 unconstrained by course power china committed to addressing the world's defining challenge the rise of china moment of crisis something. with renewed purpose to be china could it take in china. about the threat of climate change and combat the threat of china i'll save you the pain of watching it basically goes on like that some of called the quad the asian nato we say officially denied because it is not a minute to alliance 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 know with 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 quad we know that our allies have complex relationships with china that won't always align perfectly into a key u.s. ally south korea which is doing all it can to stay out of the cord after realizing that while it will eyes on the u.s. 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 ors queues 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 and iran didn't exactly say at the signing but this is one big middle finger aimed squarely at washington the big geopolitical beast then are picking their teams and taking sides i need to worry about i'm sure. now despite the extradition of wiki leaks founder julian assange to the u.s. being blocked on human rights grounds in january the u.s. state department continues to push for his extradition and insists the whistle blows human rights are being respected.

human rights standards 2019 a science was arrested in london where he spent 7 years taking refuge in the ecuadorian embassy and so after he found himself wanted by u.s. or thirty's falling wiki leaks publication of thousands of classified files that exposed u.s. war crimes in iraq and afghanistan he would face as been asked charges and up to 175 years behind bars if extradited international human rights groups and world leaders have hailed him as a champion of press freedom and pushed for the charges against him to be dropped the latest remarks on the case from the state department's come right after the release of its annual report on human rights that document singled out china iran venezuela turkey and russia accusing them of violating civil liberties russia's foreign ministry has already said the document is quote imbued with double

standards saying the state department should get its own house in order yes former cia officer ray mcgovern his opinion on this son's case what we have here now is a situation where julian is surprised of any rates the main the main reason being that if they get him put him in prison for the rest of us late no one no one will try to expose us what crimes surely empires war crimes there julian it was slander it was a rush it was shorter and now god knows what you don't have to rely on me for that there is a u.n. report for torture and you'll smell so who looked into it so i hope he he is able to escape the ultimate penalty but it judging from people who have seen him most recently he has already been very. ruined by by that the treatment that he has been subjected to i do have hope that julian will will be

able to persist and finally find a new life with his partner and his 2 little boys who play in a way waiting for him to come home. or the u.s. government there's probably no bigger responsibility than guarding the new clear launch codes so to reassure americans that they're in safe hands strategic command has been keeping them up to date by twitter. if it takes us to teach a 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. l.o.l.

maybe it was a secret code or not so secret message for a nation leader which is who every type that was tough. 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. when everything i do something good is really happened do you mean to tell me that. something like this was
