which of these troops. probably. publishes a. ministration. with sanctions. the day before. with the german parliament. through.

collecting their personal. country's federal court. words the. to avoid. 30 minutes ahead thanks for choosing us for your update today to our top story. the russian foreign minister published the sanctions list which includes top u.s. officials in direct response to new american restrictions imposed. over alleged harmful activities russia's measures also include the expulsion of 10 u.s. diplomats a possible reduction of washington's diplomatic mission in the capital. to

russia's response let's have a look at the statement 1st. the latest attack country by dubai didn't ministration cannot. it seems that washington does not want to accept the fact that in the new geo political realities there is no place for unilateral dictatorship and have broken scenarios of containing moscow which the us short sightedly continues to deploy when you risk further degrading russia u.s. relations we knew that this was coming in one form or another it was just a matter of time and on friday russia very demonstrative retaliated against those punitive measures that washington announced against moscow earlier this week perhaps the most interesting part is that 8 top level washington officials have been banned from entering russian territory and when i say top level i mean highlight reel you know we're talking the head of the f.b.i. the director of national intelligence the secretary of homeland security to i

people who are powerful decision makers in washington also a lot less to susan rice and john bolton historically to politicians who are you know and who are. russian rhetoric alongside the names moscow explained that these individuals have been chosen precisely because they all responsibility for promoting americans and to russian policy direction i have to say this is a really strong move because usually such bans are done on the low down in the quiet that are not announced publicly so clearly the kremlin here is so frustrated by what's going on that it wants to make a really bold clear statement of not 10 american diplomats have been expelled a number of american organizations suspected of interfering in russia's internal affairs have been told that they need to stop their activity and it was also made clear that if the u.s. continues to behave this way the more can and will be done including reducing the diplomatic mission here to just $300.00 and taking action that would be harmful to

u.s. business interests so very loud very. announcement leaving the door open for an improvement of relations but at the same time being practical and preparing for the worst as you see it it comes not long after what america said they were going to do as regards sions what was said on thursday well you have to look at the fact up to this hostile undiplomatic rhetoric coming from the white house of course now the infamous interview including president putin the killer on international television and then this final blow out by joe biden signing what can only be called a sanction spree so that package includes a $32.00 russian and an individual sanction for allegedly interference in last year's presidential election stateside a range of financial and technology firms targeted for power and cyber attacks on federal agencies 10 russian diplomats expelled borrowing money international made

more difficult for russia to and why anyone reasonable would look at this and say well this is pretty extensive apparently joe biden claims that this was his take it easy on russia set of sanctions and that ultimately all he really wants is to be friendly and the pressure dial down united states is not looking to kick off the. school is she in conflict with russia we want a stable predictable relationship is the time to deescalate well saying that after announcing a slew of sanctions is mixed messages it's illogical it's very confusing i mean generally punishment and deescalation don't go hand in hand so you can see why the russian side pointed out that the moment there's a huge disconnect between what russia says or rather what washington says and what washington does. to refrain from escalation sound hypocritical in essence to trying to talk to us from a position of strength we have repeatedly warned and proved in practice that

sanctions and other pressures are not only futile but will also result in disastrous consequences for the. to decide on such provocations so clearly normalized relations between the u.s. and russia are going to require a serious shift but at the moment it does definitely sound while small sco course doesn't want it to terrorists and relations and it's tried everything it can to a point that at the moment it feels that that might be the only option left or journalist and or 3rd done the allies are believes the biden administration is behaving without restraint in its moves against russia america's behavior is out of control i mean the but the bottom restoration is what spent the last 4 years accusing trump of being soft on russia and now is what it's got into office it is trying to show that it is going to be a confrontational 'd and hostile as a possibly 10 day there is no charge that the by the ministration would want level

against moscow i know it's been absolutely unrestrained he's determined to show that he's a tough guy tougher than than donald trump and so therefore he's being very aggressive with regard to both russia and and china and and there are no restraints that's that that's the amazing thing and the u.s. is just just rampaging around with these charges while on feeling the latest raft of sanctions the u.s. also assigned to claims made last year of russia offering volunteers to the taliban to kill american troops in afghanistan and the white house admits it has very little to back off 'd those claims but is nevertheless demanding answers from the kremlin. we felt the reports were enough of a cause of concern they assessed with low to moderate confidence as you alluded to that russian intelligence officers sought to encourage taliban attacks against u.s.

and coalition personnel in afghanistan so while there's a lot of moderate assessment of these reports we felt it was important for our intelligence community to look into it this information really puts the burden on russia and the russian government to explain their engagement here in the last june it was reported the russian intelligence offered linked militants to use to kill american troops in afghanistan in 29 the allegations were never proven the pentagon itself said they could not corroborate the reports but that didn't stop the media from the story vladimir putin is offering boaties for the scalps of american soldiers in afghanistan now the european intelligence official called this callous shocking and reprehensible overnight president trump dismissed the intelligence denied being briefed on it as new reports emerged saying those payments did in fact lead to the death of americans russia's rejected the allegations with the foreign ministry branding them the speculations on phobias of

the u.s. intelligence community we got to take a former u.s. marine corps intelligence officer scott ritter. the mere fact that you have politicians action on intelligence that has appeared on the front pages of the new york times bill is you right off the bat that it's not intelligence it's been it's politicized information as opposed to hard intelligence the united states and russia are adults they they they they sit at the big table they were big boys pants and their intelligence services do things against one another because that information normally we understand this is the reality of the world but the united states right now is very defensive it's dealing with the changing world changing reality and the fact that russia refuses to play the game of being subservient to you know a dominant america and so this is a domestic political problem where intelligence is 0 and political objective as

opposed to doing what it's supposed to do providing insight american decision makers about what ground truth in russia is. to another headline stories today the german chancellor being accused of undermining the country's democracy that's after uncle americal pleaded with lawmakers to grant the federal government power so impose regional curfews a lot times without the consent of local authorities merkel was in fact heckled during a heated debate earlier in parliament. we're slamming on the brakes nationwide i'm convinced a nationwide imagine see stop is overdue and urgently needed a lauren measures have a single goal to lead our country ad of this terrible phase of managing infections care he said not when you know when sion but they are part of the infection protection or that is currently in place. i ask you de colleagues whatever a personal opinions may be don't you think that we should take them into account in

the way we're debating this here ultimately what i'm going to merkel wants is changes to the infection protection act that would allow her to not just to say this is what we should be doing but to be able to say this is what is going to happen the way it works here in germany with their federal system is all those things can be decided from the federal government in berlin how they're implemented on the ground particularly when it comes to covert 19 restrictions are left up to the interpretations of the governments of the 16 states that make up germany now what angle america wants to do is take some of those powers from the states and have them for herself well as you can imagine not everybody is happy with that outside of the bundestag there was a small but vocal demonstration against what the chancellor is trying to do in the opposition from the alternatives to germany partly though as making the argument that these powers already exist that they don't need to be given to the to the federal government and that the chancellor should let the states decide what's best

for the states this effect to introduce infection protection act is an alarm and document of authoritarian thinking never before has a federal government dared to include so many attacks on the basic freedoms of citizens and the rule of law and on democratic principles and so few sentences as in this draft the more we've been here before though with anglo merkel's saying she wanted to implement national 'd measures national lockdowns and things like curfews when it comes to the fight against covert 19 just before. easter we heard the chancellor announce this was going to happen over the easter break only for her to have to make one of the biggest u. turns of her political career when just over 24 hours later she said actually that's not going to happen because technically i don't have the powers to be able to tell you to do that. says day to fast of april as well as the surge of april should be defined as calm days with extensive contact restrictions and a ban on gatherings from the fast to the 5th of april. it isn't going and the idea

was a mistake this mistake is my mistake alone a mistake must be called a mistake and above all it must be corrected at the same time of course i know that this whole matter trygaeus more uncertainty i regret that deeply and apologized to all citizens and this brings us today and the facts of the matter on the ground when it comes to covert 19 is that germany is being gripped particularly hard by this wave the robert cock institute which handles germany's public health affairs is warning that unless something is done that april could well be a record breaking month for germany when it comes to covert 19 infections what angle are merkel is seeking the power to be able to do is that when cases reach a number of 100 new infections per 100000 over population that an emergency brake can be pulled nationally the thing is is there's

a lot of pushback against this despite that pushback it does seem likely that these changes to the infection protection act will be made by some point next week we expect them to be signed into law by german president frank fault. just more reaction on this german journalist thomas fassbender believes a glimmer cols move makes sense despite criticism from the opposition. she believes in the necessity of increased risk and a strict a lockdown curfew measures etc and she decided earlier wholeheartedly i should say take this way of centralizing her powers against existing opposition do not assume angela merkel has any idea of attacking the democratic order in germany but it is a test of the democratic all in german no question under crisis situation which we have for the 1st time in this country and some people are very much

a fundamental lies in what is going on and driving it up to philosophical heights i'd say the majority in germany sees this as a an end to effect measure and not the nothing more. the pretty seismic event coming out of cuba today where the head of the communist party raul castro is officially to step down it brings to an end where than 6 decades of the castro family's political dominance over the car of being an island nation the united meant came the opening of the party's congress 3 years ago when he stepped down from the position of president castro said he quit as communist party leader in 2021 his successor back then miguel diaz canel is also expected to succeed him in his government role role castro had been in power since 2011 when he took over from his iconic older brother fidel. both men were the leaders of the

1959 cuban revolution which resulted in the creation of a socialist government fidel then led the nation through the cold war the cuban missile crisis the leader into the 21st century despite decades of pressure from the u.s. he stepped on this president in 2008 party leader in 2011 power than to his brother he died 5 years after that we spoke to a specialist on the show who believes resignation won't alter the country's direction in any great way. even though i wrote castro is no longer going to be the leader of cuba. as kind then in an entire generation if not 2 generations of leaders will now step up and as the cubans have said this is about continuity i think the cubans are confident they can still continue to build socialism an anti-imperialist despite all of the challenges that they've confronted since then i think $59.00 revolution and specifically of course the aggression from their

neighbor to the north u.s. imperialism the u.s. government whether it's led by democrat or republican they stopped at nothing trying to suffocate in star be human revolution cuba basically stood alone in 1991 with the collapse of the soviet union and the socialist bloc around the world. the cubans have been fearless even though they face the worst types of us terrorism and a criminal blockade they cripples the lives of millions and millions of humans every day their leadership has been unflinching in defense of socialism an internationalist. i want to program a new study by oxford university finds not the pfizer and the journal coronavirus jobs carry about the same blood clot risk as the astra zeneca vaccine more and that

little later in the program. western governments and western media betrayed the tensions within ukraine as a conflict involving russia and ukraine this is false there is a road map to resolve ukraine's internal strife and it's called the minsk accords russia is not the problem but nato expansion is. the speculators and those are now the ruling elites of the world are the speculators. they can create bubbles it could be used cars this week it could be. next week it could be islands somewhere in the pacific the week after that those are bubbles within a secular collapse and ultimately when the everything collapses then we

have the realisation that the economy die in 2008 we just haven't buried yet. 19 minutes into the program well google mislaid users in a stream collecting their personal location data is the ruling of the country's federal courts and they could learn the tech giant with an enormous fun australias for a trade watchdog which had filed a lawsuit declared the ruling a world 1st that it sends a very clear message to all digital. what the court found was that google misled consumers into thinking that if they turned off location history then that

would stop google story and keeping collecting and keeping the personally identifiable location data when in fact that was not the case. the judge in the case roulette some new users were misled during the initial sets off process of on droid devices users were not informed even if they location history buffs and disabled defeating another top call web activity would mean google could still collect their location data well that is not the 1st time the australian competition regulator on the tech behemoths clashed last year google along with facebook were obliged to pay to news organizations if their content was posted on their platforms well google has said it rejects this latest ruling on location data stating that claims by the watchdog were too broad not the judge's findings only concerned a narrow class of users the company said it's considering an appeal internet law

expert on social media solicitor your colon assess the impact of the country's ruling. google doesn't care the company's filed to be compiled to move a police state google doesn't care about reputation because there is no real competition at all. google also doesn't care about a small a relatively small financial penalty because it's got plenty of money so the only way we can have google starting to care about this sort of the is by. forcing the company to break up and start creating some real competition or and imposing huge penalties the realities that now they got caught again the australian court found them guilty of effectively cheating on their own customers. the question is what's going to

happen next the question is google is likely to be detailed by these findings. a new study by oxford university has fun the risk of developing blood clots from having the fines or and the dern a covert vaccines is about the same as the under-fire. job now the study involved more than a 1000000 people according to the oxford findings for in those 1000000 tests experienced clotting with the pfizer m a durn of vaccines while it was fun even 1000000 for the astra zeneca jump like in person a 39 in a 1000000 risk of clotting for those suffering from covert itself we've got reaction to the story from a number of guest. they get murdered are sort of daily reports of how many people are charged as are within a month. of having one with the car but since these will soon mitsu not if they are constantly sent since phones are very vocal school because school people with them

are proud are the roll out some who shoot assess the effectiveness of the rollout because we must remember always but see this parent especially this parent also about 2023 and the public needs to be in school so not being in schools are so short but our experiment what's happening is all these are reports are coming so a lot. is quite empty travellin and for people to know that this is a cat is a program to run out of fascination by at the same time there's also research that showing that the potential dangers is very difficult for people to know you know what to do it causes confusion and i'm hoping that lots of lessons will be learned and some actions will be put in place to ensure the safety of people and

not dealing with sort of experiments on consent in people who have decided to be part of trials for example this is members of the public that coming to and have that nation with the understanding that they can be protected and not to be risk. no you love heard of the work brigade while in the u.k. it's become a reality a soldiers in the british army is royal engineers regiment being told to wonder language in case it offends someone r.t. simon writer was a few grenades of his own on the frontline of the culture war not. so the main dangers of being in the military is you can be shot at blown up. or fall victim to non gender neutral language well $22.00 engineer regiment of the british army is doing something about it the language not the horrible bad stuff don't call each

other lads soldiers are told to be more inclusive and avoid using words such as mankind and sportsmanship over fears that they could cause offense to regiment sergeant major reportedly told his men. people that they need to try harder to up hold the regiments v. and s. v. and s. dance with values and standards do not mix it up with b. and s. he also said that everyone has to remember d. and on that diversity and inclusion and gents men lads other phrases like that are not to be use and this is my favorite he said it should be made sure that people are getting paid the correct compliments we don't own way says no. you're. right. what this story has caused some our rage among friends to gobs like these more with of course but actually there's nothing new about these directions they came out in 2017 released

by the british army's joint equality diversity and inclusion unit or jeddah as it. were inclusive most important so some poles from the guidance from the u.k. military's jet i war is include suggesting sportsmanship be replaced with fairness or good humor and the word mankind be replaced with humanity humankind human race people as had residual some of those of man in as well were british war heroes to tim collins back in 2017 describe to listeners the ludicrous and dangerous morass into which obsequious and p.c. addled senior officers have led the british army which means he doesn't like it. so we can conclude from this is. 4 years on after about the voice was originally given soldiers are still not quite ready to have their language policed probably because if you're in the army you've got a few other things to worry about let's not forget that the army has been at the forefront of the quality they've been teaching men to on their own trousers for

centuries washed on one saw it turn over. to the book about dropping bombs on middle eastern villages is the absolute definition of inclusive ety and they're killing everyone without prejudice. probably a long time for we see scenes like this on the front line. so our. oh my god did i say that. from they are to new for him but only for 30 in the meantime another great show is coming your way in moments see if it's on your street. the world is driven by shaped by one person out there spread.

the dares thinks. we dare to ask. psychiatric drugs are essential for millions of patients or rather they want that pill that they hope will take care of their problem thoroughly and rapidly in the short term they really work the problem is in the long term and mostly disastrous suddenly stopping a drug can cause withdrawal symptoms more serious than the condition it was meant to treat instead of the beneficial effects of these different medicines adding up

to something wonderful and very often their harmful effects add up to something terrible can bill solve all ills we're trying to medicate life itself i just think i was and like i was just scared i was a scared little girl of 24 and like. i didn't have to be so complicated. the little thing that hollywood is a very. loyal is. really fun well liz this. isn't a. run of the border. you know. we're going to bring your money. hollywood is both

a place and an idea she got the movie studios to go a bit got the music industry sometimes as we know it's also a place where there's a lot of propaganda. to whatever policy the u.s. government is committed to you can do all that hollywood will be following here within 12 months. now and i did find hollywood is they call it a dream manufacturer which is things true. i think equally it's a propaganda film. long after i 1st heard about it in the near i still couldn't believe this was this really how the united states sees the history of forward to.
