reassigning the theme and the robot must protect its own existence with the i think it's part of mental health revolution. we increasingly freeze political claims. psychological at the language of mental health became more common . so if you disagree with something i said on this program, you know, just say i just agree with you. i think you're wrong because of the following problems in your evidence or logic. you say your micro grass mate, you say you triggered me. you said you harmed me again in some psychological way because those are psychological terms. and i've got an enormous problem for politics because it's almost impossible to have
6:31 pm
a discourse on that terrain. the the the who's ah, welcome back to the program, a moral, not breaking news from the western russian city of on shore. an explosion has taken place on a bus since you were 18 people. were late to die for injuries with another in very serious condition. a warning you may find the view is on the following, which is distressing. all this was taken moments before the explosion and you can see it happening there with the brief flying to all sides. the vehicle was carrying between 30 and 35 passengers. some of those, as you can see, manage to flee in the following 2nd after the explosion. and the more but as you
6:32 pm
get distressing, potentially, to our viewers with one victim logging into the ground among the debris. a number of versions are being investigated by emergency services and officials where he goes on his back in the studio for more days. eagle, what more do we know as the minutes and i was going on? well, the most concrete piece of information we have is from the russia's investigative committee, well, in the most official body, as official as it gets, i should say. and basically, according to them, they are not treating this as a terrorist attack. at least this is definitely not the primary version. and the fact was, well, in plain words, in plain words, they believed that this was a tragic accident. that whether or not that may be some of the it's either some of the passengers had something explosive on board. again, not intentionally. there was no malice. it was not a bomb, but something will explosive, like a gas cylinder or something like that. or which,
6:33 pm
from what i understand from there, what seems to be more likely in their opinion, is that the operator of the back of the bus was a negligent when it's going to will passenger's safety. and in general, the safety operate. one comes to the safety of operations of this particular vehicle and maybe the whole park. and so basically, the suspicion over the russian investigative committee is that they might have had on board something explosive. again, like a gas cylinder, was something stored in the back of the bus that was involved that wasn't maintained properly. and well that, that was because of the block. now going back to what happened again. now, the only thing that we know for sure right now that something went off on the bus in the back of it, his how the bus driver described what happened. miss diane and i thought we were still people were getting on the bus,
6:34 pm
the traffic light turned red. people got them from the cross walk. i started driving off then the last happened, broken glass smoke. i couldn't understand what happened. people help to evacuate that there are people who are seriously injured. well, now again, there's a long list of injured people. one person has parish, tragically, doctors could not saved the woman's life. they even amputated one of the legs in a bid to will contain the damage, but ro that was a bit too late and she was beyond the point of well return of being saved by the metrics. and in general, the blast was quite powerful. it was felt by the drivers of other vehicles in the vehicles park next to the bus, his one eye witness account describing what happened and how powerful it was. little. so i was driving towards the southwest market place and drove by the bus suddenly happened, my car was shaken. i looked in the rearview mirror and saw that my vehicle had been passed by an explosion. i stopped. the buses,
6:35 pm
roof was blown away. people started arriving, emergency services please. simon. someone was taken away with their legs blown off . of us had severe abrasions. the explosion was very loud. so loud, i was deafening for some time. and the blood pressure was so high that my car was almost pushed to the other side of the road. so most definitely a very terrifying experience, a very terrifying situation to go through to anybody involved. i can't even imagine what people on the bus felt at that moment, and of course the word and everybody's lips was terrorism, and this is what people feared the most, because russia is no stranger to violent terrorist attacks, which normally come from radical islamists, and just radicalized people like from the caucuses and you know, all these, you know, echoes of the chechen was so rushes, no stranger to that. like there was of the, like, years ago, there were explosions on the bus in a different russian town,
6:36 pm
a vulgar grad. so the people could see a pattern that this is what we're concerned them the most. but right now in this day and age of fake news and you know, social media being overwhelmingly present in each and every one of our lives. every such piece of information should be taken with a pinch of salt. so for example, he reached out we reached out to one of the sources within the police vindaloo enforcement. here's what they told us about as to what investigators found on the site, and whether or not it corroborates the version of origin ever listed projects such as pieces. so when nails things usually used in exposes devices were not found . those injured were mostly calmed by fragments of flank less. however, the chance that it could be an explosive device can still not be ruled out. so again, even they are very, very cautious when it comes to, you know, putting things in on formulating things. but that's
6:37 pm
a very good point actually that they're making because there's really this very from, from the, from the terrorist perspective, there's very little point in just putting in just an explosive device alone and hope that the blast wave will do all the damage. because what the always do they stuff these devices with nails cruise well you had the you had the statement. yeah . with nails crews, bolts have these little tiny, sharp pieces of metal which fly at an enormous speed speed and the p. s. people's bodies. and that's how they maximize the may, how they maximize the damage and the death tool. so hopefully the list of injured in the list of well, those perished does not continue. that it does not expand further than it because that's $1.00 to $1.00 person is already too many on every list. but if we go back to the driver and what he was saying, or rather how he was saying, the very fact that he was talking to the press means that while he was unharmed or even if it was, he was wounded in any way, shape or form that was, well,
6:38 pm
that wasn't grave at all, it wasn't serious. he could talk to the major, he can talk to john list. so he and he felt comfortable about it. so we're looking forward to rushes investigative committee to step forward would have been official on camera statement. this is what we're expecting to happen in the coming minutes from what i know. she's already talking to the camera, the representative. so i will bring the latest as soon as we get it. yeah, of course. so correspondent don't course also on roots to vote on us now hoping to get a report from him from the scene in the coming hours. eagle is donell. thanks for that update. california as a muscle governor, has lost that emotional outburst, the gates republican challenger, larry l, them for the european candidate closes in the next months key election ellis campaign, i pointed out, gavin use some efforts to blame them even for the states record wildfire is a little strange, given the uses, the one in charge,
6:39 pm
the leading candidate thinks climate change. the hooks believes we need more or show oil drilling. more fracking does not believe a woman has the right to choose and actually came out against the roe. the wade does not believe in a minimum wage. you some is running scared. he cannot defend his harass us, ragged on crime homelessness. the rising cost of living, why the shortages uncontrollable wildfires and tyrannical corporate law down. larry believes in liberty, personal responsibility, private enterprise, and the ingenuity of the people of california not uses a repressive attics or the cronies of his allies on here some feeling the heat as always. half a voters now wants him out. even worse for him. republicans are expected to turn out overwhelmingly bigger numbers than democrats among those who want him out 90 percent. so he's mishandled the pandemic and even more think he's failed to sol,
6:40 pm
longstanding problems including homelessness and income inequality. the coast of the way in the previous 4 classes, all the republicans, a great chance of success and playing the climate change caught is nuisance. last hope. hell fornia right now is kind of like the growth of america that needs to be healed. they need to get back in the middle, and the only way to do that is to get someone in there that's republican that can at least try to save it the 1st time. i'm proud not to say i do think l fornia can go republican. i think republicans have a wonderful chance and making california what it was back in the late 80 california is water and electric has a lot of restrictions on it. right. and it's because it's bad policies of governor newsome. now guess he does blame republicans for let's just say for example, i'll bring up the wildfires in california. i think that new some is causing more
6:41 pm
dangerous to the climate than what he is helping it because he is almost 100 percent responsible for the california wildfires. that you're seeing going on right now, not the republican. this is the man who went out in the middle of coven, and told everyone where my social doesn't and don't go to restaurant. and what did he do? he didn't wear math in socialism, and he planned a party at a restaurant with 10 of his friends, so he can't use cobit as his political card. so at this point, what car do you have as of what car do you have? maybe the climate change car, maybe and again, he does the level of the sand on there because he is at fault for, for 5 years. the russian authorities say a black, the oil spill as cause significant environmental damage. font is sworn, the scale of the disaster is much worse than initially reported. the lead came was true, was being pumped from a terminal onto a greek flag tanker that's according to the company that owns the terminal. it was
6:42 pm
initially acclaimed just 12 cubic meters of oil spill into the sea. that leak was quickly contained. russian scientists though, analyze the satellite data and found the damage covered an area 400000 times larger than the 1st named the head of the national environmental watch. dog said, however, the situation cannot be properly assessed though through images from space terminals officers are being searched them in an investigation into how the spill was allowed to spread the companies blame. the leak on full equipment will understand responsibility and the working closely with rushes. environmental was doug, we're examining the equipment that caused the spill and to preparing a complaint to the equipment manufacturer, export that the rating company and its employees are responsible for the operation of an hazardous production facility. therefore, whenever such an event occurs for us, it comes down to the improper behavior over please of any company,
6:43 pm
no matter who it is, whether it's happened on land or a c, a marine experts. warner is a significant threat to see life, the world wildlife fund from nature. russia says key protected sites have been effected while russian environmental was thug than isaac activity. just enough to keep this spill near the facility you trailed, and that's why we have so huge distribution of all the oil all around the area from those spill in kilometers to the note there is national reserve. what important to us for flooring problem and that way, all the tech information, this site, somewhat lucian, over in the course like we're going from one senior who did not have such information. today there is category 5 students who went out to see on the vessels
6:44 pm
that we have. we do not see pollution at the age show points from the sample that we took visual inspection. this carried out not only by us, but also by the emergency ministry and the rating company itself. if someone finds oil pollution spot, then this will be reported. and we will certainly examine them or republican us, who wants to find the right of private companies to do what they wish yourself blocked by one. youtube around pulls account is now suspended for a week for supposed misinformation about coven mosques. we remove content from senator polls channel for including claims that masks are ineffective in preventing the contraction or transmission of cove at 19, in accordance with our cove at 19 medical misinformation, policies. we apply our policies consistently across the platform, regardless of speaker or political views. a video he posted contain claims the
6:45 pm
cloth mosques are ineffective and can't prevent a sport of infection. while health officials insist moss can guarantee a certain level of protection. as you might imagine, some of the poles not impressed you to maybe a private entity, but they're acting like an arm of the government, censoring those who present an alternative view to the science deniers in washington. what i said in that video is actual science. most of the mask you get over the counter don't work. they don't prevent infection. now, when it comes to end 5 basks, i have always said that those do are usually was frequently on the scrutiny for binding or spending content of it fuses throughout the plan to make any violations of its current policies. could get videos dropped, rules on other sites such as twitter and facebook are also seen by some as controversial. we are some of the u. s. libertarian party, what they thought about the policies of the major social media platforms. these days. i will say that government is using big tech as
6:46 pm
a proxy very often in the censoring of specific opinions that they don't agree with. and that's something that's been going on for quite some time in a roughly 5 or 6 year period. we have gone from where there's been almost no censorship of opinion, except for maybe like hate speech. and even not much centering of that, to where an increasing number of things are simply verboten. you just cannot say them. if you do say them, then there's a good chance you're going to be removed, not just from one platform, but if you see it on any of them removed from all of them and you're effectively silenced on the internet. that is a problem. when you have any kind of a scientific opinion, you're often going to get multiple views. and those views are going to be challenged, both in open political debate and open social debate and in scientific debate. and the way that the truth rises is both through and by
6:47 pm
a scientific evaluation, along with additional oversight from the community, from society as a whole. remember, while the views inside the united states are fairly diverse, the views inside a silicon valley or anything but. and you're going to find a lot more preference toward big government status in among the very people that are controlling these big tech networks. so yes, there's no question that conservatives, libertarians are being de platforms much more quickly and much more aggressively. then progressives are liberal democrats that have ideas that are equivalently outside of the mainstream development and conservative talk show host tucker carlson claims that the american government was spying on him. that says the us national security agency now says it will conduct an internal investigation, calls and claims back in june that an informant had said the agency was following
6:48 pm
him in an effort to derail his show. on sunday, we heard from a whistleblower within the u. s. government, someone's direct knowledge, who warned us that the essay was reading our electronic communications or e mails and tax, and was planning to leak them selectively in an effort to hurt us. a lot of time the, and i say abruptly denied call from that asian saying it had no plans to sabotage his program. it was a rat response from a traditionally reclusive agency and fellow journalists from royal media outlets mark the fox news. so suggesting you might have simply might the story up if you want to believe the n s a is reading your favorite tv star, the males go right ahead. he claims it's true. carlson is a conspiracy monger law enforcement about to expose you for doing something really bad. and to me and tucker carlson and i said well, and out of his not so far fetched with reports thing that coffins. personnel
6:49 pm
information was illegally passed around the intelligence community. one possible reason for the ledge to violence was unfortunately, he was trying to arrange an interview with vladimir putin journalist on coming to the shop with more size. it's all, this story's been largely ignored by the u. s. media what's interesting, what was telling of the state of journalism in this country is that when cover calls and birth came out with these allegations, you would think that journalists across the country would pay attention that they would be concerned that you story. this is something that affects them personally that could end up affecting them. it's something that certainly affects their industry and that affects the integrity of the profession, integrity of american journalism. so you think that if a journalist for doing something, an innocent and rightful as requesting an interview with a world leaders and then made that person a target of fighting and perhaps political retaliation, by the say, you would think media across the board would be very concerned and interested in
6:50 pm
this, instead, what happened is you had mainstream corporate media roundly, either ignoring it or mocking tucker calls and ridicule again and suggesting some sort of conspiracy theorist, and that he was paranoid and, and now it turns out he was probably correct that these things were going back to going on worrying drop in advocacy for the pfizer and madana copeland vaccines has been mark that a new american study. they. so they dipped significantly against the delta strain after 6 months respond delivers franco joined my colleague column bray earlier to explain the findings. this is a so called pre print study, which means that it hasn't gone through peer review yet, but the study contains numbers. the numbers outline the trends and they are scary. they cannot be ignored, even though they only come from one state of minnesota. but there are about the efficacy and when it comes to preventing infection for the madera vaccine,
6:51 pm
the efficacy has dropped from 86 percent in january to 76 percent in july. however, with pfizer, it's been a real statistical nosedive because the efficacy has fallen from 76 percent in january to 42 percent. and experts are linking all this with the spread of the delta various in the us. now i've said that this is a pre print study. however, the overall situation with corona virus in the us is echoing these numbers and it does look scary because if you look at the daily growth a bit more than a month ago, it was about plus 12000 new cases in one day. and you know what they registered on august. the 11th plus $155000.00 southern states are reporting that they are running out of intensive care unit bed. and here's what we heard from one doctor who was working with corporate patients in the region. we're
6:52 pm
going back to when do they go when we base our full so we have to put pins lacking more than happy to allow 2 people to come on a while. the spread of the delta variant is clearly set to become a nightmare for. ready american officials, without full vaccination of a vast majority of the population, most likely new variance will keep appearing. and again, perhaps they will be more dangerous. and this is something that senior medical experts have been warning about for, while long as the virus continues to spread. you give it ample opportunity to mutate and when you give an ample opportunity to mutate, you may sooner relate a get another variance. and it is possible that that variant might be in some respects worse than the already very difficult, very, and we're dealing with now. so any thoughts or reassurance from any officials on
6:53 pm
that? well, so far in common to the 1st reported on the minnesota study, as senior joe biden, administration, officials said the following, literally, if that's not a wake up call, i don't know what is and perhaps at this point these guys weren't that key to comment on that worsening situation because only a bit more than a month ago during the 4th of july celebrations, joe biden was more than just optimistic about his efforts against colbert. thanks to our roaring fact, seen efforts, we gain the upper hand against this virus. we can live our lives, our kids can go back to school. our economy is rory back. well, this is what joe bought was a bit more than a month ago. now the situation is completely different and it could turn into a complete flow for the government, trying to stay positive things that they need to vaccines in the mix. how many others holding up? i'm going to give you 2 other names. and in that case,
6:54 pm
the situation is much more promising that is johnson and johnson and rushes split. make me know for the 1st one i mentioned, the efficacy against the delta variant is at and 95 percent, which is impressive when it comes to rushes. sputnik fee, the efficacy drops, just like in the case of but there are no. and pfizer, but it only dropped to 83 percent, which is still an impressive result. compared to 42 percent of pfizer. so perhaps this is the reason why the developer of sputnik be suggested and proposed cooperation with pfizer. suggesting starting trials with sputnik as a booster jap. let's see what kind of response they're going to get. because we do remember that despite being allowed and dozens of countries, sputnik b as not yet been officially approved by the world health organization research and physician rumsey bra says some countries are cutting themselves off from scientific
6:55 pm
advances for political reasons. this whole demick really held a mirror out for the well did show many of the truth about our political system, about health and equality, about inequality globally. and of course about the political motivation was inconvenient when what would other light be strictly scientific and medical consideration. so for example, in, in britain, we have been quite full would, in making huge a contract with the united states and other countries to buy the vaccine. but we have to ignore the efficacy, both of the russian vaccine and of course of the chinese. and it does seem that we're going to suffer as a result of that at the, at the funding find vaccine tickler was 1st to publish phase 3 results. and at that time showed a 96 percent efficacy was the most effective of all of the vaccines really. and it does seem that efficacy is holding up very well. but we are cutting off the
6:56 pm
political reasons from the scientific involved that are available in the world today. unless the headlines for this, i will go into a very brief break. now before sean thomas, taking the whole seats to guide you through the night top level headlines, join us in just a few. i will talk the ah, the news. the news
6:57 pm
6:58 pm
6:59 pm
a close a little live in real life. vega, where many say elected officials are controlled by casino owners. the dangerous shooting revealed what? the l v m p d really is, and now it's part of the spin machine to the american public barely remember that it happens just shows you the power of money in las vegas. the powerful showed that true colors when the pen demik hit the most contagious contagion that we've seen in decades. and then you have a mayor who doesn't care. so here's caroline goodman, offering the lives of the vegas residence. to be the control group to the shiny facades conceal a deep indifference to the people the vice could have been saved and able to take an action. absolutely, keep the registering and keep the slot machines being in vegas as a money machine is a huge cash register that is ran by people who don't care about people's lives being lost.
7:00 pm
