i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us. now the french president has admitted that mistakes have been made at every stage of the pandemic in a televised address to the nation this week emanuel micron also announced a 3rd nation wide lockdown as covert cases soar intensive care beds fill up and the country's death toll nears 100000 he said the situation left him with no other choice. the city did i know that every stage of this epidemic we might say to ourselves that we could have done better that we made mistakes who will this is true we all need to make an additional efforts over the coming months this is what i ask of us collectively tonight well since saturday lockdown measures have been extended from 1000 areas to all of mainland france that means a nationwide curfew beginning at 7 pm and a ban on travel between the region's 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 at once the measures brought in by the french leader come as a u. turn to his previous decision not to lock down in january mr micron has faced increasing criticism from m.p.'s scientists and hospital bosses. but i say to the government do it now but do it now do it for a shorter time but do it you can see there we were right not to implement a lockdown in france at the end of january because we didn't have the explosion of cases that every model predicted 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 even repaying from youngest of a president i mean it's a pretty impressive resume and people traded in selfless and learned who knew when

to take advice needed it is important at this time by following the advice of scientists as we've just done to ensure the continuity of 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 growing as an aide said he wouldn't be 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. 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 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 bots music but they're not necessarily sculpture artists. well musicians. meanwhile fears of a nursing exodus in britain after a survey revealed that the n.h.s. staff are significantly more likely to quit their job now then compared to last year exhaustion from the pandemic was cited as a big reason why now according to the poll 25 percent of n.h.s. workers are more inclined to leave now than during the previous 12 months over a quarter of them are nurses and midwives to occupations facing major shortages while 7 in 10 people paid a said a pay rise is the decisive factor but for student nurses there aren't any paid

placement positions and they say that they are struggling to make ends meet $1.00 of them gave us her reaction to the surveys findings it doesn't surprise me it's all we've had he is it me is increased but. the cost of living has gone up but wages have increased ice so much stress on the nurses that made wives everyone involved in that question and i think to be honest that pandemic i think everyone has now had enough and they need help and i feel the government may to help and increase the way. to get a good environment for everyone. british health authorities have promised to provide the n.h.s. with an extra 29000000000 pounds but the nurse we spoke to says it is likely that money will be used up before it gets to student medics who have proved vital during the pandemic. we get the 5000 pound girl and some people get a 2000 pound grant dependent if it were children or what feels like i mean tape but

in reality is it's all in the i should say that 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 paid for it by twice. and that should even as states that were actually retired nurses at the trade bank they couldn't believe that they 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 starts it's go the funds come for you all to have already so i doubt the course of that for you potentially if she leaves the course and it does add to the mental so that the sorry sorry dr. all right also this week the long awaited w.h.o. report on the origins of covert 1000 was released by the mediately faced sharp criticism worldwide for leaving many questions still unanswered even the organization's director general has called for the research we ask a russian member of the mission why getting to the bottom of the outbreak is

proving so difficult. which will close on a mission started off into phase one why was it called that it was clear from the beginning nobody expected us to find all the questions rights away in fact it was prepared to rework aimed at 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. we since we've 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 based on our common knowledge of various coronaviruses we suggest it's a but might have been a source of. the issue is very much 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 most 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 suspect a laboratory is run properly by well trained staff there is total compliance with all the rules regarding 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 competence international organizations building from that we def or can't say that a lab leak might have been the cause. 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 who went to carry out this investigation on behalf of the w.h.o. and what would have been the point of pressurising us we hardly liaise with officials we were largely in touch with scientists. it has been months since donald trump was banned by social media giants but that does not mean that there purge of the former president is over any time soon it was revealed on tuesday that facebook had removed an interview with him posted by his daughter in law party's killer martin 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 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 and 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 tack 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 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 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 of because it doesn't stop with doing great by 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 filter rich and they really don't care about mappin you know your opinions so if government want to rein in big take against they could do it tomorrow if they wanted to do that the republican party

democrat party is the same on big text democrats and republicans on the same boat it takes $2000000.00 so bury the flag for say the whole thing is a political gain. in a piece for our team actress and activist rose mcgowan shared her own experience of being ousted by big check. what do you pray to. a little pretty much speech going against your from nice i don't understand why you support evil characters' and want to block. i was just spend it by twitter for posting and internet photo of bill clinton and getting a massage fire and no woman 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 it 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 a worldwide limited boycott where for 24 hour protests until they reinstated they did and they have but i have been shadow brands ever since i'm tired of having these men his feet on my neck i'm tired of having their 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 lot. still ahead a poll is found that most americans are now anxious about losing their jobs over something they have said online because of the onset of council culture we will dig deeper into that after a short break this is our 2 international. this

is what happens to pensions in britain. you watch kaiser report. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being led to. direct. what is true what is faith.

in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or remain in the shallows. by the pandemic no certainly no blood is just blind to nationalities. has emerged we don't come with you we don't look like seen the whole world needs to be. people. judge you. come in every crisis with this system to modern times we can do better we should be. everyone is contributing way but we also know that this crisis will not go on

forever the challenges create the response has been masked so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. i. can back this is the weekly on our team international now any mom in the u.k. has warned the prime minister that trouble is brewing unless muslims are shown more respect he also insinuated the country risks quote becoming like france a statement that many view as a threat it's after a teacher in northern england outraged parts of the muslim community by showing cartoons of the prophet muhammad to his class 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 but has been suspended from his job some local muslims are demanding the school fire him outright however a petition calling for him to be reinstated has gained more than $70000.00 signatures the u.k. department for education has defended the teacher. it is never acceptable to threaten the intimidate teaches we encourage dialogue between parents and schools when he has emerged schools are free to include a full range of issues ideas and materials in their curriculum including where they are challenging a controversial subject to they obligations to ensure political balance outrage over a similar case in france last october led to the brutal murder of samuel paddy a history teacher he was beheaded by a terrorist after showing cartoons of the prophet muhammad to his peoples during

a discussion on freedom of expression to him from christian concern and to mo ansari a political and social commentator locked horns over the issues raised. this could be very easily turning into some kind of a power 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 to tears 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 of their own 15 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 opened a 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 that the police 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 in 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 have 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 super about it 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 and what's happening here is people are trying to shut down 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 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 more cruel that threatens violence against people. the issue of council culture is having an impact on people's psychological well being a major majority of the people polled in the us say that they fear being sacked or reprimanded for views they share online 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 view growing cancel culture as a threat to their freedom while more than half see it as in danger in their job security we got opinion among new yorkers. people are creative and have a different mindset some artist decide to do different things people you next door neighbors affected to different you that you might not agree on i don't for they used to ruin their entire lives over what they think in their mind even though it is harsh and it could really go like a pocket sometimes i think it does care people and it makes people think and made. sure you know. inappropriate. the idea of canceling counseling 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 it. to also understand like being fed up with having to respond to people so sorry if you're so low it's always more complicated when it's presented. by political commentator child but more showed his thoughts on council culture and from where it 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 is this 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 are the things that they truly believe in and their criticism that maybe what's going on in culture and in government and even the culture itself as we've seen just criticize example coulter 'd can do you can feel. as if performing open heart surgery isn't hard enough how about doing it in a burning building that is exactly what doctors in the far east of russia had to cope with on friday here is video from inside the operating theater during the fire the blaze broke out at around midday with most patients and staff evacuate quickly evacuating the hospital but a team of surgeons were operating on a patient at the time and had no choice but to keep going the surgery went as planned and the patient was later moved to another clinic line.

after months of unrest with protesters demanding the prime minister's resignation people in bulgaria have finally gone to the polls for parliamentary elections support for the ruling party had a road over corruption poverty and failure to perform the judicial system reform it actually however despite that exit polls predicted prime minister boyko center right part. he has secured the largest share of that vote there was a smaller turnout than 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 here voting record it's a bit different but it works if you wish to you can. be the only difference is the 12 there in masks everything is very cold which isn't confusing there is tense and ties it to i think there is no place for panic and every person must go and will

take into consideration the can you call me dependency creations in consequence of doubt their endeavor to be cool but only people good because everything around the world those elections that even i would say it's easy for all of the things. that does it for me this hour in about 33 minutes i'll be back with another look at the weekly czar to international.

passed as a financial survival guide stacey let's learn about fill out let's say i'm not so i guess and you're a police response based off the fight wall street spot thank you for taking. on the story that's right tell us if the debt slavery. the world is. shaped by.

thinks. we dare to ask. well while the 2 worlds apart there is a saying here and russia that whenever it use come together there at least 3 opinions are just in the fully borne out by the latest israeli elections which are

to muscle collection hearing resulted in yet another stalemate with now in parties actually just forming new government what does this new round of political and 2nd mean for the country and the region as a whole will to discuss it and now joined by medical purpose in your consulting research fellow at chatham house mr necker baird it's great to talk to thank you very much for your time because usually as now you know russian culture russian languages have really influenced by jewish humor but even this year you know we're running out of jokes to talk about the situation in which 4 elections in 2 years fail to produce any a lateral so how many more elections do you think it will take syria take a break from campaigning ad be trying to your door.
