12:07 pm
building shook america, and the commission is now looking for answers. but there's a tragic aftermath. it's not making any headlines for officers on duty that they recently committed suicide, and their families largely blame those riots are trees driven to poke has the stories of the men who took their own lives. there are now 4 confirmed police officers who have committed suicide, who had been at the capital riots on january 6th. yesterday the metropolitan police department had announced that 2 officers had taken their lives, kyle's afraid to $26.00 of the 5 year veteran who was found dead around a month ago and gone through ha, should a 43, another police force veteran who had also killed himself in late july, leaving behind a wife and 3 children. however, these are but the latest tragic deaths of police officers who ad work the sheriff that the capital building during the riots and other 2 officers committed suicide

12:09 pm
died as a result of his dedication to the us capital police. and the sacrifices he made to his well being on the 6th of january and the ensuing days. just as surely as if he had been slain on the capitol steps, recognition of the cause of his death. much like the critical examination of the right itself will remain central to how we make right. those tragedies as officers have been devastated by all this. some of the widows of these officers have even been fighting to the death of their husbands. be classified as being in the line of duty. officers. how should have family has set up a crowd funding page to help support the family and organize the officers memorial? as for the official response to these debts, several lawmakers have already expressed their condolences, including nancy pelosi, who issued a statement regarding the latest officer's death officer. she was a hero who risked his life to save our capital, the congressional community,
12:10 pm
and our very democracy. now just as a reminder, the january 6th riots are still under investigation. lawmakers are to this day hearing testimonies of the people who were there during the storming of the capitol building. protesters, police officers, staff members, anybody who was there during the riot, which resulted in at least 5 deaths over a 1000 hospitalizations and hundreds of injuries among both protesters and police officers. so far, the seemingly thousands of people who had stormed the building that day over $500.00 people have already been charged for the insurrection with some already admitting their guilt. but the situation is constantly changing, and the investigation goes on. youtube is continuing its crack down on misinformation, the google earth video sharing site is banned sky news, australia for 7 days for violating coven policies. planing it could cause a real world home many a branded to move
12:11 pm
a censorship while the channel itself claims at any question wearing masks and lockdown policies. fall quarter has the story. is freedom of speech under attack, that's on many australians minds after youtube slapped a one week suspension on sky news for allegedly breaching the platforms, policies on coven misinformation. i say allegedly because you tube didn't exactly specify which videos where the problem and this has led to some crying out in terror for what they see as a trampling of their freedoms. census of the sea in motion youtube sky news. this trail is suspension. is a disturbing assault and freedom of thought, sky, or an actual news agency. what happen to freedom of the press? of course there was no shortage of those who thought sky news got what it deserved . murder controls up to 80 percent of us trellis prince media. the fact sky news will be suspended from you to for misinformation is only the tip of the iceberg as to how nice coff has brainwashed australians and spread valenze and hatred and fake
12:12 pm
news about china. sky news, australia, unable to identify the videos that lead to youtube suspension. in fairness, we do pump out a lot of said a source part from the suspension and some deleted videos. the news outlet is also one strike. closer to a permanent ban youtube claim. some of sky news is videos denied the existence of cove at 19, and that's all we know. guy news, australia was at its youtube channel, taken down for very old post, a very old videos about cobit 19. and the time is interesting because as we know, i'll show you is now one of the most severely locked down countries on earth, youtube, and working with the i'll show you government to center information and to take down news organizations that in the past and things that they find bubble magic to the current over narrative. it wasn't long before sky news published a response, inferring that actions like these were a slippery slope, tao shoots,
12:13 pm
and that the channel had fallen victim to a double standard. among the videos deemed palatable for societal consumption would debates around where the masks were effective and what the log downs were justified . when considering the adverse health outcomes and on the issue of mosques. i wonder when america's chief covert 19 advisor anthony found she will be back from you tube in case you forgot that was in reference to when the top us infectious diseases. experts said that people don't need to be walking around and masks right now. people should not be what there's no reason to be walking around with the mask . the country's media watchdog doesn't seem to think the situation is black and white though since the beginning of 2020. it's received. 23 complaints about sky news as patent demick coverage. but get this. the australian communications and media authority has no authority over social media platforms. digital platforms, such as youtube are not currently subject to the same co regulatory arrangements,
12:14 pm
australia's traditional broadcast media. in this case, you tube has made a decision to the spence guy news, according to its policies for its platform. it's led many to wonder why can some corporations do whatever they want, while the government has its hands tied, you only way we get which back against big tech would be if legacy media interest show me the or the organization decided to take them on. and because the politician don't seem to have any will to do so, because obviously spends more money than any other organization lobbying in washington. it's showing more and more of a big tech is actually in control. and it might be big tech during the bidding of a government now. but how soon is it going to be when the government is doing the bidding, a big tech, and when big tactics want some favors in government for all of this work they're doing on their behalf. it's very, very scary stuff. i'm not sure what it's going to take or how quickly that can that can change. not just youtube though,
12:15 pm
to other social media giants are getting flack of a policing their own policies, facebook and twitter. if they're accused of failing to take action against blatantly anti semitic posts. the center of countering digital hates found that more than 80 percent of anti semitic posts were not being addressed by those platforms of a $700.00 post violating the sites own policies. but only a 100 were actually removed. what small these post was seen by. well, over 7000000 people around the globe, the major social media sites are all accused of not taking enough action against the anti semitism. but other content that's also considered to be hate speech. facebook and instagram has kept up almost all posts accused of racism from this. she is you repeat football championship final. while facebook only added a disclaimer to one of the most viral posts about denying the hollow course and twitters of fault for getting rid of just small fraction of tweet the claim, the holocaust was ok. but the social networks themselves claim that their policies
12:16 pm
on hate speech are robust and that they've greatly improved in recent years. they've certainly been cracking down hard on anti vaccination groups, deleting the accounts of individuals full responsible for 2 thirds of all anti vaccine information. so that's left some questioning why so little appears to be done about anti semitism. now we discuss that also with the journalist you heard from little earlier chadwick, moore, who we just spoke to. it seems suspicious that they and i send it to them, seems to be the one thing you can get away with an american society. and i'm not sure if that's just because of this, extreme israel hatred that exists on the left or, or, or what it could be. so it definitely wouldn't surprise me at that report is accurate. and you do see actually a lot of anti semitism on social media platforms. you certainly don't see a lot of floors again, you know, black people or things like that that doesn't get immediately removed. and it's another example of these arbitrary rules that raises suspicions, that there's
12:17 pm
a political motive here and that, and you know, some groups are more equal than others you than orwellian term. and that even when you have crimes against jewish people, hate crimes rising, you still see this content for many on social media sites. it certainly doesn't look good for them. it would be very bold if they were intentionally turning inclined to this kind of content. and also very sick and sinister off the coming up a murder pro launched after missing bella ross and nazi government tax. this is found hanged at o'clock in the ukrainian capital. it's our next news when we come back the so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally,
12:18 pm
12:19 pm

12:21 pm
of southern europe and them unusually hot and dry. some of croatia is the latest country to be effected. 5 fighting plains been dumping water to extinguish the flames. creation authorities are saying that they have managed to bring the situation under control elsewhere along the mediterranean coast, the aftermath of wildfires in italy become clear as far as a voice and concerns over their livelihoods in the wake of the disaster. the government though says that it intends to send special teams to assist locals and devastation of the west of turkey to flames continue to engulf woodland and the popular tourist destination of maurice, ablaze as they have already claimed the lives of 8 people. there is no sign of the situation eating off anytime soon, abandons no place on people entering forest in many of turkeys, provinces. british newspapers are availed that the case state health service had sketched a plan to deny care, to elderly people in the event of a severe pandemic. it was never implemented, but elements of it seemed to be bringing true to this day,
12:22 pm
at least for one campaign. and we spoke to, she told us it's unacceptable that the n h s still has to prioritize who should, and who should not receive treatment. that they failed because they basically anyone that they were made certainly retirement age seems to be not where they are being looked after. so to me it just looks like they were looking after the ones that were going to make money. and the ones that have already made the money going to cost money. we're going to be thrown aside like they have done with the can home, you know, pull families of their loved ones and care home. they sent those all like lambs to slaughter by just knowing them, he knew what was going on, or that have been a complete and utter waste of time. because a still prioritizing who should and who shows should not receive end of life is dreadful. the 2017 draft plan was to ensure the health service could cope with
12:23 pm
overwhelming numbers in the event of a crisis in it, care would have been prioritized for patients with a better chance of survival. it was dropped it off. the huge irregularities were found in britain's respond systems, but then a chassis stated that the plan did not form the basis of their later response to the current corona virus pandemic. the n h s was asked to produce this discussion document based on the specific and extreme hypothetical scenario to inform the governments pandemic flu preparedness program rather than for racial use . and that did not form the basis of the n h. s response to the corona virus. the covert outbreak had care homes hard with 5th 42000 of their residents in england and wales having died since the outbreak began. one form, a senior adviser to the prime ministers, openly acknowledged the government's failure in shielding those facilities. we were told categorically in march that people will be tested before they went back to terms. we only subsequently found out that that hadn't happened. now the government
12:24 pm
rectory was we put a shield around cameras and blah, blah, complete nonsense. put the opposite, putting his shit around the recent people. we toford back to the camps. i think the homes have always been on the on the bridge of the goldman and everything was always when, after all, i know the people that had they had home later and without the struggles we still we still are testing called the positive people from your scout hospital because this virus hasn't gone out and we still play there was still very cold. i think some of it was telling the truth, i think it was on television, that care homes were being tested, residents will be tested private home in our hospital. this was the initial
12:25 pm
and that's a lot of the reason why i called the care home because a lot like i said at the top of the bulletin was proving to be the past few hours, particularly violent and a number of parts of the world more breaking news for you this time in afghanistan where a powerful blast has rocked the capital cannibal. a car bomb reportedly went off near the iranian embassy that's in the neighborhood where other diplomatic missions and top national officials are also based local media that say that gun shops within heard of the scene in the immediate aftermath and some outlets to claiming that the attack was taunting the house of the african defense minister with the leg minutes armed militants allegedly forcing their way. and but as of this stage, no group has yet claimed responsibility for that attack. when we do learn more, we will of course, tell you that's just one of 3 incidents that we're across for you here at archie and to national saskia. taylor will be here in half an hour to update you. not only on that. also the shooting at christian start in sweden, again,
