of the pandemic in a televised address to the nation this week. also announced the 3rd nation wide lockdown as covert cases soar intensive care beds fellow up the country's death toll nears 100000 he said the situation left him with all the choice. the city did i know that every stage of this epidemic we might say to ourselves that we could have done better and that we made mistakes and this is true we all need to make an additional effort over the coming months this is what i ask of us collectively tonight or since yesterday saturday locked on measures have been extended from 19 areas to all of mainland fronts means a nationwide curfew beginning at 7 pm and a ban on travel between regions schools have also been closed for at least 3 weeks while additional policing has been introduced to ensure no more than half a dozen people gather wants all the measures brought in by the french leader come
4:03 pm
as a huge turn really to his previous decision not to lock down in january mr mccraw has faced increasing criticism from m.p.'s scientists and hospital waters. i say to the government do it now but do it now do it for a shorter time for what i'm doing. right now to implement a lockdown in france at the end of january because we didn't have the explosion of cases that every model predicts it will be france's president is without a doubt an educated man emmanuel macro and through through the country's top institutions before making a mark in both the private or public sector he then repaying france's youngest ever president i mean it's a pretty impressive resume and people traded in selfless and learned he knew when to take advice. it is important at this time by following the advice of scientists
4:04 pm
as we've just done to ensure the continuity of on democratic life and our institutions but now it seems being top dog isn't quite enough not grown his throwing himself into an entirely new discipline the president has acquired real expertise in health issues it is not an inaccessible subject for an intelligent person like him considering the important time he has dedicated to it for several months not cause. for there he declared that he has become an epidemiologist despite not having a scientific background these claims over. seas on health issues have also rubbed the wrong way. because you don't let mr president of the republic and in the framework of the pandemic just like all heads of states he has become interested in epidemiological data yes to put his nose to the grindstone he's obliged to take notice of trends but that doesn't make him an epidemiologist of
4:05 pm
course for all those that talk about epidemiology and among them we can find heads of states like president mccrone who talks about epidemiology just like we talk about politics when we talk about sculpture or about music but they're not necessarily sculpture artists. musicians meanwhile fears of a nursing exit this in britain after a survey revealed that n.h.s. stuff are significantly more likely to quit their job than compared to last year exhaustion from the pun demick cited as a big reason why according to the poll 25 percent of and h.s. workers are more inclined to leave now than during the previous 12 months or other 3rd all of them are nurses and midwifes 2 occupations facing major shortages well 7 in 10 people said the pay rise is the decisive factor but for student nurses there aren't any paid placement positions they say they're struggling to make ends meet $1.00 of them gave us her reaction to the surveys findings it doesn't surprise me
4:06 pm
it's what we've had to use it needs increased but. not the cost of living has gone up the wages have increased that it's so much stress on the nurses that made wives everyone involved in that fashion and i think to be honest with the pandemic i think everyone has now had enough and they need help and i feel the government need to help and increase the way you know that to get a good environment for everyone what british health authorities have promised to provide the n.h.s. with an extra $29000000000.00 pounds but the nurse we spoke to says that money isn't going to student medics who have proved vital during the pandemic. we get the 5000 pound girl and some people get a 2000 pound grant to deny it with children or what feels like i mean tape but in reality is it's all in the eye shit for the increase in childcare costs you know the increase in council tax increase in fuel into placement in my 1st year i think it's a defeat by twice. and that should even as states that were actually retired nurses
4:07 pm
at the trade bank they could have played to say should i go into this position because i have a rabbi they are 2 children and that's what i'm like with 5 required what was quite a full time childcare and the other one it just started school the thought has come for you all to we've already so i got the calls today for you potential if you leave the course and it does add to the mental so that the sorry sorry dr. will also this week the long awaited w.h.o. report on the origins of code 1000 was released but immediately faced sharp criticism worldwide for leaving many questions still unanswered even the organizations director general us call for further research we'll stay russian member of the mission why getting to the bottom of the outbreak is proving so difficult. which was on a mission started off under phase one why was it called that it was clear from the
4:08 pm
beginning nobody expected us to find on sr all the questions right away in fact he was prepared to rework again that analyzing the data we had accumulated and establishing hypotheses in general it's hard to predict how long this investigation will take and how it will end but it should be done that's for sure. well we managed to find out that the virus supposedly emerged in the period between the middle of november and the beginning of december however we don't know the exact location of the outbreak in my view it was in china but it's not clear yet it's unlikely though that the outbreak occurred in a wet market most probably it was some market visitor who had already been infected and spread the virus this suggestion derives from the fact that there were quite a large number of patients who had nothing to do with the markets we don't know who the 1st patient was neither do we know the natural origin of covert 19 and based on our common knowledge of various coronaviruses we suggest it's a but might have been a source. but the issue is very much
4:09 pm
politicized everyone is trying to find someone to blame i've never considered the oblique hypothesis a theory there's so much talk about this in the media though which people don't really have an idea there is no scientific evidence or facts proving a leak as of today based on what we saw i can say that the suspected laboratory is run properly by well trained staff there is total compliance with all the rules regarding the work with viruses of this has a class or even the class above the laboratory is regularly audited and is in the constant scrutiny of competent international organizations building from that we therefore can't say that's a lovely calls. though you knew if you knew we didn't feel any pressure coming from our chinese colleagues actually it wouldn't even be the case i can't think of how they could have put pressure on us we are in no way affiliated with china people from various countries were part of our team
4:10 pm
who went to carry out this investigation on behalf of the w.h.o. and what would have been the point of pressurising as we hardly liaise with officials we were largely in touch with scientists. since dumbell trump was done by social media giants but that doesn't mean there purge of the former president is over any time soon it was revealed and choose the about facebook had removed an interview with and posted by his daughter in law ortiz killer and looks at whether silicon valley chiefs are now 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 blog clip placed on donald trump's facebook an instagram account 1st 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
4:11 pm
his interpretation of world events and just like that we are one step closer to wilson 1984 wow joe biden keeps repeating that big tack are his allies in his efforts to create a world where everyone has freedom of speech and the united states is writing 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 of anybody who thinks. 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 our 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
4:12 pm
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
4:13 pm
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 of because it doesn't stop with doing great by the american people who plans to sit president try to get him out of the way so he won't be able to run for office the office again because they know if you did run for office again that he will agree and 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 mad can you know your opinion so if the government want to reign in big taken against they could do it tomorrow if they wanted to do that the republican democrat party is the same on big democrats and republicans on the same boat it take 2000000 so bury the flag for saying the whole thing is a political gain. well in the piece for r t
4:14 pm
a christian activist rose mcgowan shared her own experience of being arrested by pig. what do you pray to. a little pretty much speech going against her from me i don't understand why you support evil chapters and want to block. i was just and by twitter for posting and internet photo of bill clinton and getting massaged by the no 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 right sharon entirely 4 days after i helped out harvey weinstein my attacker in the new york times expose a 4 years ago there was
4:15 pm
a worldwide women boycott twitter for 24 hour protests until they reinstated they did and they have but i have been shadow bands ever since i am tired of having these men his feet on my neck i am tired of having to hand over my mouth you guys are old pros to be tracked for a it's right the little grows and you're supposed to be the freedom of speech rap. and that is a lot. still ahead a large international poll suggests that most americans are anxious about losing their jobs over something we've said on line because of the sort of council culture will delve deeper into after the break.
4:16 pm
4:17 pm
17 minutes into the program welcome back in the u.k. prime minister the trouble is brewing all this muslims are shown more respect and you also insinuated that the country quote becoming like statement but many of us the threat itself to a teacher in northern england to outrage parts of the muslim community by showing cartoons of the prophet to his was all we ask for is a bit of respect if one teacher can do it another teach can do it 5 years down the line and we do not want this to be the case otherwise we are not responsible for the actions of some individuals. the teacher and his family are now in hiding after receiving death threats the 29 year old has since apologized been suspended from his job some local muslims are demanding that the school fire him right however
4:18 pm
a petition calling for him to be reinstated has garnered over 70000 signatures the u.k. department for education has defended the teacher. it is never acceptable to threaten the intimidates teaches we encourage dialogue between parents and schools when the shoes emerge schools are free to include a full range of issues ideas and materials in their curriculum including where they are challenging a controversial subject they obligations to ensure political balance or drage over a similar case in france last october led to the brutal murder of some you'll see a history teacher he was beheaded by terrorists after showing cartoons of the prophet muhammad to his pupils during a discussion on freedom of expression from christian concern a political and social commentator locked horns over the issues raised. this could be very easily turning into some kind of
4:19 pm
a powder keg and you do not throw that matches into such things we've seen in france and in many european countries the rise of the far right we've seen some 2 tier civil rights system pushing against islam pushing against muslims marginalizing them and it's open season on muslims courage attack them on free speech basis and people make themselves up to be free speech martyrs or somehow muslims become inflamed or they won't fit in western values so what's most alarming here is that a teacher asked her to go into hiding with police protection because what he's done he's he's discussed a point of discussion about a cartoon and the why the subject of blasphemy he hasn't actually hurt anyone he hasn't actually even threatened any violence and yet there are obviously very real threats of violence against him so much so the police going to protect him and take his family his wife and his children into hiding i think that is very very concerning and i think we need to recover a sense of normality and
4:20 pm
a sense of people being able to openly discuss and educate people about these things and i've been around the block a few times and had this discussion a few times every time we've had this discussion on free speech and debate we have put down to worst of the ideas racism hatred we know it's not ok to be racist against muslims to make the argument is it alright to be racist or is this racist we need to learn about religion that we need to learn about what people believe and we need to openly discuss them and so people and supervisor let's be very clear about this that discussing a cartoon it's got about how it has nothing to do with basis and it's not racism at all so what's happening here is people are trying to shut down a discussion and using threats of violence when people judge. people who work with the english defense league you keep anti muslim interest across europe and the rest of the what i'll do you try and demonize muslims marginalize them would have enough you will not win the cultural debate. or is he ok to be poked fun at and be racist against muslims out of the lot of us read what else is and you don't get to be
4:21 pm
offensive towards us this is not the way a free society should work he should definitely be defended it's all he's done is raise a discussion people should be free to discuss things in class if we're not free to discuss things we have a de facto blasphemy law in the country which is being enforced by a mob rule that threatens violence against people. the issue of council culture it's hovering an impact on people psychological well being a majority of people polled in the us no say they fear being sacked or reprimanded for abuse their share of life is a chilling finding that most people in the country now are afraid they would be fired if they expressed their real views on social media of the nearly 2000 people surveyed 2 thirds of you growing council culture as a threat to their freedom or more than half see it as in danger in their job security we canvassed opinion on the subject among new yorkers. people are creative
4:22 pm
and have a different mindset that artists decide to do different things people you next door neighbors affected the different you that you might not agree on i don't feel they used to ruin their entire lives over what they think in their mind even though it is harsh and it could go like a pocket sometimes i think it does care people and it makes people think and maybe for. sure you know. inappropriate. the idea of cancelling cancelling is bad and is not a good way of. creating difficult conversations because difficult conversations are very important to making difficult topics less difficult. that can really change the way that a person interacts with the world or using. to also understand like being fed up with having to respond to people so sorry if you're so low it's always more
4:23 pm
complicated when it's presented. a political commentator chadwick murray shared his thoughts on council culture and from word emerged. in the past we've always sort of focused on the government and focused on protecting the constitution but of course in this in this day and age the threats are coming not really from the government they're coming from business is from private corporations and most importantly from each other so that makes it interesting and different i think from anything else that that we really experience in culture before it's you know and it's such a lot of it that's become a social media mob threats to docs to get people fired and it's not a threat on many levels and most importantly it has a chilling effect on public discourse and on people being able to speak their minds to openly. discuss an advocate for things that they currently that they truly believe in and their criticism that maybe what's going on in culture and in
4:24 pm
government and even cancer called yourself lucy just criticize example coulter 'd can do you can feel. now here's a story verse that was popular during the week as if performing open heart surgery isn't enough how about doing it in a burning building that's exactly what doctors in the far east of russia how to cope with a frightening here is a view from inside the operating theater ensuring that the blaze broke out to run mid day with most patients on stuff quickly evacuating the hospital but a team of surgeons were operating on a patient at the time and had no choice but to keep really. funky to surgery let us play the patient was later moved to another clinic no one was injured in the fire in fact investigators have said subsequently electrical short circuit may be to blame for the plague. now after months of on rests
4:25 pm
with protesters demanding the prime minister's resignation people in bulgaria finally headed to the polls for parliamentary elections. ports for the ruling party how to road it after accusations of failing to fight corruption poverty and reform the judicial system however despite that according to exit polls prime minister boyko research center right party looks to have secured the largest share of the vote there was a smaller turnout in previous years as the country struggles with a 3rd wave of the pandemic so many took the chance to have their say despite covert fears. it's more dangerous in the tram or in the supermarket than he you can. be the only difference is the to have their masks everything is very close to some confusing there is tense and ties it to you i think there is no place for family and everything must go and will it take to be serious and the kenyan government dependency creations in consequence you've got to give it to be the only people
4:26 pm

4:27 pm
america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she just goes after dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer so who's to blame patients doctors manufacturers all the governments of. the world is driven by shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask.
