conservatives and populace talk the language of family and culture. we least talk a values to create a european superstate. ah, the efficacy of 5 years covert vaccine, full and by nearly a 3rd, according to a new is really study. the findings come in the face of the rapidly spreading delta very into the virus or run the world. and the growing issue of c hesitancy, tightening the grip over at tech joy and india. it's a twitter is no longer immune from prosecution over a user generated content. the verdict coming 2 weeks after the texas supreme court made almost the same ruling. facebook. so ahead in the program today. please draw this

trillion m p 's urge washington to withdraw its extradition, appealed to the u. k. and drop all charges against julian. we hear from one of them . i 10 in the morning here in moscow. hope you're having a fine wednesday wherever you are counting the program from today. welcome to the news are we will get to those headlines to reason just a moment, but some breaking news to bring you on the program. a man has reportedly been detained after taking 3 people hostage at a bank in the russian city of 2 men inside bureau. and now he had been claiming that he had a bomb, a time of home, mid bowman, d really and was demanding $15000000.00 roubles, which is around $200.00 and us dollars around 50 people were evacuated from nearby

buildings. bank officials arrived to me and the branch to negotiate with the man who has now we believe been detained, local reports, stating that that is not the case. so we will be keeping a close eye on this developing story when new significant details come into us. we will of course, bring it to you on the program. then you get the efficacy over the phone or covert job has dropped by nearly a 3rd. that is, according to a new study by the is really health ministry. the findings come amid the rapids spread both in the country and globally of the delta variant of the virus 1st detected in india, the vaccine is still said to be efficient and preventing serious illness. we discussed the issue with the head of the vaccination program of the televi eve

medical center. we have data which shows even if the immunity of doses of defy their job, even if the immunity is waning, it's winging very, very, very slowly. it is possible at some point everybody will need another dose. obviously we're worried about the drop. the delta vary and has already been studied in britain and elsewhere in the final 15 has been found to be less effective against it, but not as less effective as seen in our preliminary data. we will have to watch it locally as, as the data unfold. the situation in israel and europe is increasingly struggling with vaccine hesitancy in the german capital one and 5 vaccination appointments has been canceled or postponed in recent weeks. that's according to the german red cross, which has suggested a 30 year. oh fine for those feeling to show up for a shot, an interview to

r t the head of the organization's. busy berlin branch brundage vaccine ups and tea isn't selfish. in our experience, every day, 5 to 10 percent of those who have appointments do not attend in the arena bell in area alone, around 3000 people vaccinated every day. while the rest of the centers around $15000.00 vaccinations take place every day of those 3 files and every day, $150.00 total people do not attend. that is quite a lot if you consider the amount of effort that goes into this 1st, this is not fair to those who would like to make an appointment for the vaccination . we cannot do this due to the lack of free time slows. and secondly, complete waste of all resources vaccine pharmacists and daughters are therefore, i'm calling for those who do not attend their appointments about, canceling them to be given a fine absenteeism. this is my nose and the u. s. has been facing essentially the same issue with more than one and 10 do for their 2nd shelf,

skipping their appointments out, it's calling to federal health authority data. killing open picks up the story. almost 15000000 americans. that's how many have missed their 2nd vaccine dose. that's according to a warning from the centers for disease control and prevention. a key and often cited reason. it's rather disturbing is that many people believe one dose is enough for protection. now, the timeframe for that 2nd dose changes and differs according to the jab. it's 3 weeks for 50 bio and tack and 4 weeks for modernity. regardless, those numbers are alarmingly high. it was just 8 percent missing. their 2nd shot earlier in the year. stop. officials warn that's simply not enough. when you look at the level of protection after one dose, you can say it's 80 percent, but it is somewhat of a tenuous 80 percent. and that comes as the far more deadly delta variance spreads . something that doctor found, she has already called the greatest threat to us,

attempts to eliminate coded 19. now we've got new studies showing that the vaccines are less effective against that strain. this leaves many holding their breath, wondering if the expectation that vaccines would solve this crisis was a bit premature, failed mop and r t. new york. the power of social media giant says long been seen as untenable, but increasingly efforts are underway, terrain the men. now record in new delhi has ruled twitter will no longer be immune from responsibility for content generated by users. in india, it comes less than 2 weeks after the supreme court in texas said facebook can be held accountable over its platform being used for sex trafficking, or senior correspondent, rough garcia has been looking at what all this means for relations between nations and big tech. whatever our views and online freedoms on censorship,

i do the fact that tech johns have run wild boston blew it drunk with power and high and mind boggling revenues. they began to see themselves as king makers, virtual cyber gods, to rule the net, to decide who gets to talk. and what about and increasingly states around the world, the saying i now off and in flood, the escalation of the risk between the indian government and with the center has told deli, high court and social media john to speak to comply with. in this new idea rules, so said that if the company's fail to follow the rules there, intermediary status can be ended, and they may be subject to criminal action. the court of it is twitter, which got away with blocking the then president of the us has decided to engage in a battle of wills with india. for example, according to india is new i t rules. so users must be warned if their account is about to be ban. what does twitter do?

temporarily bands the countries technology minister without warning, or another rule. so india doesn't want content that causes religious enmity. so they asked with it to remove a picture of a hindu goddess in new positions posted by use called atheist republic. twitter has taken no steps to remove such content, but in a blatant violation of indian laws has been acting as an accomplice to the crime. and showing such blasphemous and insulting content, these spiteful little acts they go on and all twitter, for example, posting a map of the india with entire disputed problems is removed from indian sovereignty . so here's the technical part, right, twitter and facebook and all they get away with this by arguing that they are not responsible for what uses post. because that free speech, they are just platforms for free speech. obviously that is highly debatable. tech johns have no problem. cedric, not only people, but in ta, political movements,

but more than that, it isn't true because they make money off of it. but for example, running ad for child sex trafficking. plaintiff was 14 years old in 2017. had traffickers used instagram to advertise plaintiffs as prostitute and to arrange dates. as a result, plaintiff was raved numerous times for when plaintiffs rescue from the traffic in scheme traffickers continue to use your profile to attempt to entrap other miners. in the same manner, plaintiff's mother reported this activity to facebook which have respond it. that is from an ongoing law suit in texas, which we reported on numerous victims, assuming facebook for not only ignoring, but facilitating child set trafficking by writing child grooming ads, making money off of it. the takeaway is, facebook never responded. they see themselves these take chances above nations and borders laws and customs above elected officials and representative governments. i

mean, what the heck is in the go in to do ban twitter, unthinkable. until recently, indian companies be pharma. i t or others that go to do business in the united states of america or in other foreign countries. voluntarily follow the local laws . that wire platforms like twitter showing reluctance and following indian laws designed to give voice to the victims of abuse and misuse. at the end of the day, what is happening in india is going to set a global precedent. every foreign mission is waiting to see how these and i, the india, will persevere, force big take to acknowledge that, that they are great to the nations and peoples. that there are rules and that they have to follow them or, and they will fold compromise. and as such, recognize the yes. big tech is a digital superpower answerable to a new one. and above common law and custom. what is happening is that these

big tech social media giants are disregarding all local sensibilities and sensitivities the have a liberal universal values agenda. and they will also taken very parties on positions on very sensitive matters in india, on major political development. so i think the public as well as the government are quite upset with the way these social media joins are, are manipulating, or trying to manipulate public opinion. there's no consistency in what they're doing. their content. moderation is very, very flawed and biased and they are resorting to a kind of like a hit money in the social media sphere because they are larger numbers of users. so i think it's very important that they should be disciplined,

or else there is likely to be more chaos and more violence and public disorder. and i think in a big complex was id like india. they should act more responsibly. australian m. p. 's have urged president biden to drop the us government's extradition. appealed to the u. k. launched against the wiki licks co founder julianna's. such striving citizens want juliet assad's to be free. his treatment violates for convention against torture and its persecution threatens journalists worldwide. it comes alice julian, the son celebrated his birthday for the 3rd straight, you're inside a maximum security prison in the u. k. he faces a 175 years in prison in america, which was some extra dated from the u. k. on charges of hacking and espionage in

2019 songs was forcibly removed by british police from the dorian embassy in london . after quito terminated his 7 here asylum there. in january, a british judge ruled against the move over fears about his mental health. the us immediately launched and appeal i spoke to a st and m p. george christensen is among those who film the video in support of the such a lot of people were viewing who beyond the assange campaign, feeling this is just something that the trump administration was, was doing well. it actually wasn't. the trump administration that was dying, and of course we know now that don't trump consider issuing a pardon to join assigns for someone that wouldn't. that was going after him. you wouldn't be thinking about issuing a pardon. so this is something that the u. s. department of justice is showing and there that's why nothing as simple as simply dropped with the change of regimes in

the us or administrations in the us. you know, it's almost pain swept to the side by a lot of the mainstream media. and you even have some journalist to die that still protest at calling him a journalist will are going to say that julian assigns is form of journalism. is probably the most pure it comes with any spin. with that, any sort of opinion that's added to it. he just giving the raw data to the people and i think he should be applauded for that. pink floyd co founder roger water is a long time supporter of a sons, told our teeth the media has been cowed into silence in its reporting of the case. i was at a street protest last february and we march from the australian embassy to parliament square, and we made fun speeches. and we made all the points that we've all made again and

again and again and again. the government took absolutely no. notice how does it go through to to a large section of the public? yeah, it has. are there many decent people in the general population? yes, they're all. have they now heard the story? yes, they have. were they terribly moved and painted by the smear campaign against julian in early days, where he was labeled massage and they didn't write based and that this the over and how he used to wipe is b. c with the cat and spread it over the door and all it would complete lies spread by mainstream media that should know better. and where all the journalists should is in the streets demonstrating, day and night. and to lead call a gives release. nowhere to be see. unfortunately, the mainstream media is cowed by the ruling process by the powers, the bay,

by the government, all those of us who care about human rights and who actually care about free men who actually, ah, against the murder of civilians and against torture. and all of those things find it very difficult him face of the mainstream major that keeps itself in mouth shut . so it's difficult journey in a sanchez is knights in shining armor. this is the man who almost single handedly has started the movement that might save the world. we are strong, we're not going away. and we will not go away and we will stand shoulder to shoulder until june. and the sound is free because until judy and a sanchez pray, none of us ship free. we can all be locked up in a heart beat and left incarcerated disease bill ahead in the program this scored in the 3 week old. it's really government sales. a contentious law

preventing palestinians, morgan was released from getting his release. citizenship is not renewed. going against the wishes of prime minister bet it's more enough to bring i me the

join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me the hello again. it is only 3 weeks since the news really government was finally formed, but it's already running into significant difficulties. it's failed to extend a contentious law which bars palestinians murray to us release from getting is really citizenship. prime minister, enough to bennett, has been blaming the opposition for his problems. and forms the times of the

opposition to exhaust us with a 1000 exercises infringe. and that it is okay that democracy and we know how to do both. but there are points when even in the opposition national responsibility must be shown. the security of the country is the red line. the much held it uniquely open its new coalition, had failed at the very 1st attempt. the government's vote to stop the californians married. 2 ladies, getting citizenship sank, split white down the middle, 594, and 59 against. as 5 members of the ruling coalition immediately broke rank. and that's despite bennett early a warning that this was an important vote of confidence in his new government. what went wrong, however, the votes in favor of the legislation is expressing confidence in the government. whatever votes against it is expressing no confidence in the government. the

citizenship and internal was initially passed in 2003 at the time of the 2nd palestinian uprising following militant attacks in israel. since then, it has repeatedly received a parliamentary majority that it needed to be approved until now. even the party of the opposition needed benjamin netanyahu could, that has repeatedly supported the law voted against it. critics charge that this is a case of politics over principles. we've received proof of the programmatic nature of a government that doesn't have a distinct design. this majority, israel needs a functioning design, is government, not a mishmash that depends on rom and merits votes. this is a fight the. the stakes are extremely high, right? the stakes are, who is going to govern the state of israel. they think what the good is trying to do now is to get a hold of power and then the out by opposing this law plays a risky game and the risky and the risk that he, the calculated risk that he took,

is probably saying that despite the fact that ideologically, they're not wise in favor of opposing the law, are actually quite the opposite. undermining the government, undermining the coalition would be even more appealing with their borders. the a pocket coalition is a hodgepodge of left wing, interest, and parties. cutting alongside been its alternation that not surprisingly, they were really struggling to speak with one voice. we asked people on the street what they made of the failed vote and also were there. i think there is a difference. the law makes it difficult for someone to get his railey citizenship . it's difficult. it's not easy. there are 2 different sides. there is one country, palestine, and this is another country, israel and we arabs or something different. it's difficult for everyone. the real reason is tricky to avoid and to if you'd like,

create an issue with the current government, hoping that somehow they will manage to displace after such an embarrassing failure at the 1st hurdle. questions when inevitably growth as to whether or not the job for lock will be able to function when it becomes the latest is really coalition to forward policy a r t. chapter 4 people have been killed after devastating floods hit the crust. nador region in southern russia this week, the area has faced a deluge of rain since sunday, with many homes left flooded. more than a 100 people had to be rescued. if a trinket was sent us this report, me. we have just reached the location which became the at the center of the entire

disaster in russia south. just by looking at this booth, you can imagine what was happening here. the closer you get to the sea side, the lower the lands get, the more damage you witness. so let's take this painful and dangerous walk. the last floods hit this town overnight and it seemed the people were completely unprepared. now i'll show you some of the most typical damage, so you can see over here for example, fall and or now, right? destroyed fences. this place right here used to be a bustling cafe and other a typical damage element, right? their cars turned around after being turned over and the current people say they

don't even know where it came from, but that that's all the water is flowing and cause the flow to the card barrows, gas cylinders, everything was slow down. so we were just watching. i'm telling you now and have good bumps to you and if it is within 50 minutes, everything was flooded. well, nothing could be saved at all. you know now this scar. i can show you what happens with the inside of the vehicle after it was stuck in mud and water for a couple of hours. now, what is this if not apocalyptic thing? this used to be a restaurant inside a hotel, now completely empty, submerged in water. there's no way i can call the whole the makers lucky at all. they're shocked, but at least they're walking in clean clothes, like those who are trying to save their businesses. complete, lee covered in mud. we have finally reached the sea side. this used to be a beach with cafes, loungers and so on. now, as you can see, clearly, most of the devry ended up on the beach and,

and the sea waters. and nobody's even daring to guess how long it will take to clean all this mess up. jake, it's done. house cold up it's army reservist to bolster it's border with afghan. less than it comes as afghan security forces have been fleeing research and telephone and seeking refuge in the central asian nation. more than a 1000 off guns soldiers crossed to jake border and monday they were retreating from the telephone who have been taking lard suede of territory across northern afghanistan. civilians have also been fleeing to the tickets down according to the un. more than a 1000 are arriving the capital to shunt a every month. the escalating security situation has seen such stands ally, russia pledging to help because that is the one before was still precious obligations under the collective security treaty of 40. in effect, we will do everything we can using all the capabilities that the russian military

base on the afghan border to prevent any aggressive steps against our allies. let's go live now to shoot your jamal director general for international relations and regional cooperation of the office of the national security council of afghan to sound you're most welcome. what will happen to the troops who fled to tragic? asked on, will they be able to go home? thank you for having me address your question, but i think if you, if you've ever been to about a phone, it's one of the most highest mountainous terrain in the world in which if you're a soldier fighting and you're running low on food and ammunition and the comrades that are injured, the most important thing for you to do is to actually lose the safer terrain. as you're waiting for that, those kinds of payment supplies, ammunition, food, a medical help, which is one of the soldiers did it crossed into the subject. it's done,

the touch of government has been very helpful in accommodating the soldiers. the soldiers are now on their way back. we have been in negotiations with a touch of government and very grateful for their support. they are on their way back. arrangements are being made to have them returned to them so that they can regroup and return to the battlefield. stronger. an n p from the province. you just mention production said 26 out of 28 district. something last to the taliban. can you confirm that on how much? is there a risk of the taliban taking control over the northern border with fluid metals? situation in 2627. 35. these numbers changed by the hour sometimes by, by the moment. and so i'm not going to comment on a fluid battle situation, but what i am going to tell you is that the african government at this moment is actually planning to launch battlefield operations in several of the districts. and both of them which are being cleared as we're speaking. and so the,

the risk of the fall of any of these districts is often unfortunately overblown. but the fact is that our soldiers and our troops are fighting and they're getting closer to retaking most of these captured areas. this tell about an offensive was surely anticipated with western trips. pulling out it was clear, the telephone would try to reassure control wasn't what the telephone are doing is actually contrary to what they're saying, which is they've been cleaning if they want peace on the battlefield. they've actually been pushing a narrative, a strategy of complete military takeover, which is problematic in 2 ways. number one is that it actually rifts eroding the domestic, ask them political consensus and support for a reconciliation. political settlement. the telephone number 2 is actually also risking spraying the regional and international consensus in support to bring in bringing the taliban back as a result domestically. you're seeing people rising up in areas where the telephone

are going areas that have been faced up until to this point. but the tall him on are taking the stability and the war to those locations. and the people are standing up and they're voting with their own guns and, and they're telling the taliban, this strategy is unacceptable to the african people. and i think that in our communities we can just all not say point. president biden earlier said regional powers will have to stamp all know we feed jacobs done. calling up army reserve is russia pledging to help with its military base? to what extent do you expect neighboring countries will be involved? will often stand up for military health assistance. we've been pursuing a strategy of regional for the past 32 and a half years actually. and this is nothing new. we've been negotiating with project done with the african national security advisor was dressed in russia 3 years ago to meet with counterparts in moscow. the truth is that we've been pursuing a regional strategy for a while. the truth also is the desk and national defense and security forces have

been fighting the minutes that are now threatening central asia. and so what we're seeing is a natural response from our neighbors up in the north to secure their borders because we are actually doing we, we've been doing that to, to this point. but we're also, we're also expecting that they would naturally take actions also to secure their own interest and their own borders. atalla one because you know, are harboring touch service terrorists from multiple organizations are harboring islamic movement of a 2nd on the terrorists. but also from, from, from china, there's only natural that our neighbors are taking steps in that direction. well, many thanks for your time today. shoot you tomorrow from the office of the national security council of afghanistan. thank you. thank you. just before we go to break a quick reminder of her breaking news, a man has been detained after taking 3 people hostage at a bank in the russian city of 2 men inside berry.
