3:00 pm
in the international, in the headlines this evening from moscow, the caribbean nation of haiti imposes marshal law for the next 15 days, come off to the shopping assassination of a precedent and his presidential compound, the leading scientific journal in the u. k. cold russia as a new job quote, safe and effective, stressing the lack of severe side effects such as alleged and blood clot linked to other vaccine or through the program, we hear from a german, red cross member who's raising the alarm over a growing number of those skipping their appointments for a 2nd. and corona virus injection that has a coven hesitancy trend to continue to spread worldwide. ah,
3:01 pm
moment off the pinnacles in the evening here in moscow, this is the international welcome. see a wednesday world headline. the president of haiti, hope l. moiz has been assassinated as its residents by a group of armed attackers. the country's 1st lady was also shot and injured. she was hospitalized. we understand now she's being lifted to miami for treatment. now what you can see here is unverified video that allegedly captures the very moment when the attack of storm the presidential residents at night. the presidential office has insinuated that the hint job was orchestrated with the help of foreign mercenaries. now, following the assassination, the haitian military establish nationwide martial law. this will last until july 22nd. and the army is patrolling roads now to ensure compliance with the countries for the topping clothes and more detail with all the correspondent caleb, more than while the prime minister of haiti is calling for call. and at this point
3:02 pm
we understand marshall law has been declared. the military is out on the streets. everyone is bracing for widespread on rest. we didn't identify the group. they spoke spanish or english. they attacked the residents of the president of the republic, the president to come to his room. we condemn the barbaric attack. i called for calm of the population. the situation of the country is already under control, and now the white house has condemned the killing. there is now an official statement from joe biden, and earlier we heard from jen saki the white house spokesperson. here's what she had to say on the situation. the message to the people of haiti is this. the tragic tragedy is the heritage crime. and we're so sorry for the loss that they're all suffering and going through. as many of them are walking up this morning and hearing this news, and we stand ready and stand by them to provide any assistance that's needed. it's
3:03 pm
important to note that the biden administration hasn't been exactly unified and clear on its position regarding the country. there's been ongoing unrest in haiti, many people taking to the streets, demanding that this priest, this president stepped down in addition to that, many in the streets, blaming the united states for the economic situation, the country for the suffering blaming. you know, the history of u. s. military interventions, as well as the trade deals and economic policies. so there's been ongoing unrest in the country, and the biden administration has been divided. some in the biden administration wanted biden to back the opposition to the president that was recently killed. however, the biden administration seemed to be fully backing the president at the time that he was killed. now, it's important to note that biden has a history of being rather insensitive when it comes to comments about haiti. this is something he said back in 9094. if haiti, the god awful thing to save haiti just quietly sunk into the caribbean or rose up
3:04 pm
300 feet, it would matter a whole lot in terms of our interest. many are bracing for the aftermath of these events, anticipating unrest in the country. migration is certainly an issue that's very important to many people in the united states. there are many concerns and fears that unrest in haiti could lead to more migrants fleeing to the united states. what exactly happens next is not clear. the military is on the streets, and the country is bracing for what could be even more unrest. we spoke to a brooklyn bass editor at hasty liberty. he already has suspicions about the assassination on which players could theoretically be involved. this operation, there were 9 brand new nissan patrol. pickup trucks involved. they clearly were very sophisticated. they knew the layout of the president's home. they knew where to go. apparently they had inside information,
3:05 pm
so this was an operation which had been clearly planned for some time and had a lot of money behind it. so were likely to see an upsurge and uptick of haitian refugees leaving the country. and the u. s. is going to say that this is a threat to international stability, etc, etc. and they may, they may try yet another military or military occupation of haiti, which will be the 4th. this would be something that i think would be poor and gasoline on the fire. patients are very proud, would be very upset to have their sovereignty trampled once again. washington has been the king maker if you will, in haiti, and in the case of a job now my weeds and his predecessor michelle marcelli, they had a big hand in having them elected into office. many haitians call that an
3:06 pm
electoral coup d'etat. so washington is very interested in haiti, of chairs the island with the dominican republic. it is a neighbor of cuba right across the windward passage. so geo, strategically, it's very important. a leading british scientific journal has published an article that says there is quote, mounting evidence that russia sputnik v vaccine is quote, safe and effective jobs currently in use and almost 70 countries worldwide. earlier, my colleague niel harvey got more details from our correspondent konstantin cross. golf. major is a weekly scientific journal based in the u. k. it is considered to be the world's most prestigious, well read and quoted. and it has published a story in depth story, and specifically with a title, quote, mounting evidence, adjust scrutiny, covey vaccine is safe and effective. and so in the article, they basically sum up all the latest information that has brought them to these
3:07 pm
positive conclusion. student has been approved in nearly 70 nations, including brazil, argentina, the philippines are hungry and for instance, in india they are going to produce at least 185-0000 doses of specifically for domestic use. and they wouldn't have gone for this if they hadn't been sure about it. safety right? there is data coming from the russian researchers, but then there is data coming from all those nations that are importing and distributing the vaccine. and it also shows that food nuclear safe and it's working, the united arab emirates have conducted their own study that showed 97.8 percent of fix c. argentina's, health care officials claim that even one day with food think we gives antibodies to a person in 78.6 percent of cases. and this is, by the way we're, i have personal experience. i didn't have antibodies after the 1st shot, but after the 2nd one, that's when my body produced the proper mean response. and i still have a significant amount of antibodies even 8 months after the inoculation. but let's
3:08 pm
get back to the article and see what they say. about the possible side effects of the vaccine. spending side effects are becoming clearer cities. so foss suggested they're similar to those of other ad bars vaccines, with the notable exception of red blood crossing conditions. unlike for both the oxford astrazeneca and johnson and johnson vaccines, there been no reports of these disorders from russian health authorities, or from the other nations using sputnik b. a 1000000 people already taken the certainly vaccine. among them, there will be some people who would like to travel, say, to europe, and that would become a much easy thing to do. if sputnik had been approved by say, the w h o or by the european medicines agency. is there any suggestion in this article why that has not happened yet? we know that the european medicine agency and the world health organization haven't given a green light to specifically yet. and the officials claim, but they still have reservations, for instance,
3:09 pm
over the quality of surveillance of the possible rear of factors. but i think we, and we also know that the w h o, instructors have visited 9 sites across russia where scrutiny fee is being manufactured and the flag concerns over $1.00 of those sites. and the russian side says that they have already fixed the problem. but there are also concerns that i think may lose its potency over time, and that even a vaccinated person needs a booster shot. and they're spooking light, a one day version of the same vaccine that is being already rolled out in moscow and other major cities. exactly. for this, but as the russian producers claim there are a lot of red tape in the m a. and that they have to jump through a lot of hoops in order to get their vaccine registered properly. and they've never done this before. they do make mistakes, they admit this and even typing errors. so that shows you that student is still has a long way to go,
3:10 pm
even without approval from the m a and the w h o. there are countries that importing and distributing the russian jobs. i'm talking about european countries like hungry and san marino. now, austria and cyprus, they do accept russian tourists who have food and we without asking them to provide a negative p. c r test. so all in all we're seeing that as food need me gradually expanding its reach, gaining recognition, but the same time there are obstacles that still need to be overcome and will probably this article will speed this up. the efficacy of the fires, a covert job has dropped by nearly a 3rd. that's according to a new study by the israeli health ministry. findings come amid the rapids spread both from the country and globally of the delta varian. first detected in india. the vaccine is still set to be efficient in preventing serious illness. as of now, the 5 a by on tech job has been approved for full or emergency use and more than 100 countries
3:11 pm
worldwide that includes the us and canada. it also received emergency validation from the w h o. with the end of last year. earlier we discussed the vaccines, the efficacy issue with the head of the vaccination program. as a tele vive medical center, we have data which shows even if the immunity of 2 doses of defy their job, even if team units is waning, it's winning 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 defies vaccine has been found to be less effective against it, but not as less effective as seen in our preliminary data. so we will have to watch it closely as the data unfold. the whole vaccination with 5 to requires 2 shots, like most of the current covert injections, but
3:12 pm
a growing vaccine hesitancy trend to seen people refusing to get a 2nd dose in the german capital. for example, one in 5 vaccination appointments has been canceled or postponed in recent weeks, as, according to the german red cross, which even suggested a 30 year. oh fine for those. failing to show up for their shot. at the head of the organizations berlin branch says vaccine absenteeism is selfish. in our experience, every day, 5 to 10 percent of those who have appointments do not attend in the arena bell and area alone around 3000 people vaccinated every day. while the rest of the centers around 15000 vaccinations take place every day of those 3000 every day, 150 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 a vaccination. we cannot do this due to the lack of free time slows. and secondly,
3:13 pm
complete waste of all resources vaccine pharmacists and doctors. therefore, i'm calling for those who do not attend their appointments about counseling them to be given a find for absenteeism on 6 months after the us last, it's better to have julian assange extradited, a u. k. court has given washington the green light to appeal. so we got reaction from the publisher's partner, stella morris. i was able to speak to julian about the decision and you know, it's mixed because on the one hand it's been 6 months and we haven't had any news. so it's like an endless purgatory. but at the same time it doesn't here. and julian's very on, well, he's happy when, when i went with our eldest this morning. and so it's not representative when i see him because obviously it's a, it's a one rest fight. he get off. but even you know, bowl marsh prison is
3:14 pm
a horrible place. he want his case in january. why is he even in prison? why is he even being prosecuted? there is no legal case against him. all there is, is an indictment based on life. doing this on the face is a 175 years in prison in america, which one some extradited from britain on charges of hacking and espionage. in january, a british judge of ruled against his expedition of affairs of his mental health and 2019 assange was forcibly removed by police from the ecuador and embassy in london . of the quito terminated his 7 year asylum. there were helix editor in chief and friend of assange. christian samson says that he's outraged by the sheer length of the whole process. well, it's a great disappointment for julian johnson for all of those, but this is continuing. one would hope that the united kingdom courts would
3:15 pm
recognize how ridiculous this case is and not to grant the appeal. this means that this will drag, go on now for some time for a prisoner to have to wait in a prison cell for 6 months for half a year. just to get a decision of whether the appeal is allowed to to his opponents or not is rages. this decision comes on the week of the it is revealed that the indictment against julian does not have a leg to stand on. the key which says retracted to the testimony and says basically that testament, which was cited by the business judge numerous times as truthful allegation doesn't hold true. it is a fabrication and the americans now know if they're still continuing on this truck
3:16 pm
. this appeal is an attempt to pro long the inevitable. inevitable is the freedom of julian. if he does not get his freedom, it is such a load to our society and what we believe in that it is almost amount to turning off the light. so this must come to an end, and i can fence in my bones that it will be coming soon. meanwhile, australia m. p 's urging president biden to drop the us government's extradition, appeal straightly and citizens want juliet us on to be free. his treatment violates the convention against torture and its persecution threatens journalists worldwide. please come to us judy and celebrated his birthday for the 3rd straight year inside
3:17 pm
a maximum security prison in the u. k. a lot of his supporters pool into the streets of new york and london over the weekend markets 50th. they undermined his release. australian mc george christian center was among those who filmed the video in support of their fellow countrymen. a lot of people with viewing who are behind the assange campaign, feeling this is just something that the trumpet ministration was, was doing well. it actually wasn't the trump administration that was dying. and of course, we know now that don't trump considered issuing a pardon to join the signs 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, of, of regimes in the us or administrations in the us. you know, it's almost been swept to the side by a lot of the mainstream media. and you even have some journalist tonight still
3:18 pm
protest at calling in the journalist. we're going to say that julian assigns is form of journalism. is probably the most pure it comes with that 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. your stories told to come here on your program, including tightening their grip over the tech giant. india says the twitter is no longer immune from responsibility over a user generated content that's in the mix of your stories coming your way in about 65 seconds. ah, me. the whatever
3:19 pm
we're used to hearing, he will lead messaging about the importance of values. not everyone in the block agrees, in fact, a growing number of conservative and populous forces are speaking out against what subtle call brussels colonial outlook conservatives and populous talk. the language of family and culture leaks talk a value to create
3:20 pm
a european superstate ah, 20 pm here in moscow, the power of social media giants has long been seen as on table. but increasingly, efforts are underway to rein them in. the government in new delhi has stated twitter will no longer be immune from responsibility for content generated by users . in india. it comes less than 2 weeks off at the highest court in texas said facebook can be held accountable over its platform being used for child sex trafficking is what i guess dia has been looking at what old 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,
3:21 pm
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 what the center has told. deli high court is social media john to speak to comply with in this new idea rules. so said that if the company's failed 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's 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 ask tweet to remove a picture of a hindu goddess in lieu positions,
3:22 pm
posted by use called atheist republic. twitter has taken no steps to remove such content, but an 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 india with entire disputed province is removed from indian sovereignty. so he is the technical part, right, twitter and facebook and all that. get away with it by arguing that they are not responsible for what uses post, because that 3 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 ads for child sex trafficking. plaintiffs was 14 years old in 2017.
3:23 pm
had traffickers used instagram to advertise plaintiff as prostitute, andrew arrange dates. as a result, plaintiff was raved numerous times for when plaintiffs rescue from the traffic in scheme traffickers continue to use her profile to attempt to interrupt 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 said trafficking by writing child grooming at making money off of it. takeaways these book 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 band twitter, unthinkable. until recently, indian companies be pharma, i t or others that go to do business and united states of america or in other
3:24 pm
foreign countries voluntarily follow the local laws. then why are 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 end i, the india, will persevere force big tech to acknowledge that, that they aren't 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
3:25 pm
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 large numbers of users. so i think it's very important that they should be disciplined, or else there is likely to be more gales and more violence and public disorder. and i think in a big complex society like india, they should act more responsibly. a french court has convicted 11 people for
3:26 pm
harassing a 16 year old girl over a number of anti islam. posts that she made on social media. the teenager called mila says, how life has been ruined by online harassment, including death threats. a correspondent in paris picked up the story. this is shawna. do the coolant designs. that 11 of those who had been accused of the cyber bullying of this teenager is known only by her 1st name. mila would receive suspended sentences. now me le 1st came to prominence. when she was 16 years old, so around 2 years ago where she posted video online, she was giving a makeup tutorial and she ended up reacting to some comment and made some derogatory remarks about islam that really sort of feel the fire and debate around her that have a look at that video that spoke this all of back in 2019, just known. i hate religion. koran is the religion of hate. i say what?
3:27 pm
i think i'm not a tall, racist, as it's impossible to be raises towards religion. think then she has continued to post equally controversial videos, videos where she's talking about her thoughts of islam. and she has seen many people over a 100000 types of threats against to, for these videos that's according to her lawyer. this includes death threat. so people being quite a descriptive about how they would like to kill the she naija and she has been as a result about under constant police protection for the last 3 years. she's had to change school several times. her identity to some extent is being hidden here. problems all as a result of those threats. another piece that she's received online. now, 13 were actually charged with this cyber bullying. they were 10 men and food, seen women, all between the ages of 18 and 30. and during the court trial,
3:28 pm
they said that they were ignorant of the cyber bullying news hearing from i'm they said that the actions and the things that they had said were foolish. now the court decided that 11 of them were guilty and has given them suspended sentences of between 4 and 6 months. they've also been ordered to patient compensation to miller, of around 1500 years, as well as contributing around a 1000 years each to her legal costs. as a result of this latest case for me, la, outside the court, she said that this was to some extent of victory when we won and will win again. what i want that the people who harass, who threatened death and who inside suicide to the ban from social media. i never want the victims to be blamed again. and like i said in my book, chances with us too. but supporters of me land her lawyer say that despite these
3:29 pm
sentences, it doesn't change the fact that her life has been stolen from her. it's such a young age because of the fact she does now need this constant police protection now many who were insulted by her videos. why angered by them and made those comments? but the reality is, what me said is not illegal. hearing france, it was an investigation opened into comments, but it was closed because it was deemed to be a freedom of expression which is allowed. but her case has opened this big case. this big discussion on the freedom of expression here in france and also on the protections that are offered to school children when it comes to issues like cyber bullying. now be 11 individuals who got those suspended sentences will carry those on for the rest of their lives. they'll be on my records, but for me, some say she has an even worse sentence because for the rest of her life, she has lost her freedom. the fur has literally been
