but you can also, i think the people need to take responsibility in their own hands and be prepared if those kinds of weapons were less available. we wouldn't have a lot of shootings and we certainly wouldn't have the number that i the headlines, the national from cannibals and embassy celebration in washington in protest against the new u. s. secure. he talked with the u. k. at australia, the resulted in the last of a lucrative submarine deal. on the program, we get reaction on the streets of the french. this is not the 1st time tonight, the stage has taken contrast from osley. a very good at that. we do not respect anyone to part from themselves. the acts like most of the world, they shouldn't be expecting fun to do the same. they would have complained also ahead instagram permanently blocks ortiz and investigative media project,

read fish, offer a similar moved by facebook. earlier in the year, in the program, we looked at alarming levels of control being wielded by social media giant rushes parliamentary action is underway now with holding stations opening up across moscow will bring you the full breakdown later this hour and throughout the 3 days of voting and special coverage on our team and finally rush located back in the headlines with a new twist. as it mergers that a lawyer who accused trouble with having code but links to moscow was in fact hiding his own role in hillary clinton's presidential campaign. ah, it is friday, september the 17th and just after 8 am here in moscow. a very good morning to you from all of us here at asi international. but

a diplomatic flash point is developing now between france and the united states. power says scrap and embassy gala to celebrate the country's historical alliance in protest against america, new security pack signed with australia and the u. k, which french officials have dubbed a stab in the back. however, the u. s. secretary of state insists all is well. france in particular, is a vital partner on this and so many other issues stretching back generations. and we want to find every opportunity to deepen our trans atlantic cooperation in the pacific and around the world. and so i'll give you a quick recap now of exactly what happened. it was on wednesday, australia, the u. k. in the us, they signed a pacific security pack called orchestra. it's seen as a move to counter china. it involves data sharing with, for example, the artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, nuclear, defense, australia will also acquire a nuclear power submarine fleet with american and british technology. and that's

why can bro scrapped its previous submarine deal worth $66000000000.00 with france? we got reaction to the story on the streets of paris, missy, but finally, this is not the 1st time at united states has taken contracts from us. they are very good at that. we do not respect anyone apart from themselves. they act like masters of the world. they shouldn't have done that because i think it fronted on the same. they would have complained that they wouldn't have liked we'll see if the current president is better than the last one. it represents a lot of money, a lot of jobs, but it would be better if these jobs were for making other things. it's a little dishonest, i suppose. and the other hand there were closes which allowed them to break the contract before they started making the submarines. no, it's never good for a person to see that a contract has been broken. it's happened to me personally. they're always paragraph included, but it must be justified. you have to have a good reason if i understand it correctly, the united states is

a competitor. so of course, it's not a good thing. there should have been talks between the french and the americans. the feel comes from together with other ag members has been struggling to agree on collective security. and the agreement has only fueled the frustration of the european politicians over the block defense capabilities. the ease, lack of hard power, is the millstone to defend our interests worldwide. allies ignores opponents abuse us citizen distrust is to guarantee the security. this is untenable. we need real, you defense from intelligence to material the troops to backup our sovereignty. neither washington nor london have explicitly linked the new deal, which focuses on the in the pacific region to the suppose. a threat from china and remarks from the us defense secretary has well left the question open. we spoke in detail about china's d stabilizing activities and beijing efforts to course and intimidate other

countries. this agreement, this relationship does not aim that anything or anyone. although, while the china and france are fuming over the new pact, others are wanting. it could so discord in nato, his ilia patricia, when donald trump left office, and joe biden took charge. it could have been a side relief for some of washington's allies just when europe was starting to think that the future would be more predictable under the new president. this happens. i'm very angry today and bitter. this is not something allies do to each other. the world, the jungle, france has just been reminded this bitter truth by the way, the u. s. and the u. k. of stub to in the back in australia fil a v e readers are still really over what the biden administration did of dana stand. and now parents have been stunned by washington's announcement of a new partnership with australia and the u. k. called office. but haven't the u. s

. the u. k. and all these been calls allies for ages? what's the problem? well, thanks to august, australia will now be hooked up with us technology to build nuclear submarines while france waves goodbye to its own multi 1000000000 dollar contract to build 12 diesel subs for a camera. now for some damage control by senior american officials. after that deal was to repeat ode, there are a range of partnerships that include the french and some partnerships that don't. and they have partnerships with other countries that don't include us. that is part of how global diplomacy works are such words enough to calm the fury in paris, which is even called of a gala, at the french embassy in washington to celebrate historic ties with the u. s. good question. anyway, the french government has shown they're not willing to just swallow that bitter pill. plus there's solidarity with paris from b, e. u on the matter. you know,

as you hi, billy, it is a good opportunity to recall to reflect on the need to raise the issue of european strategic autonomy. it is a new proof of the need to exist on our own. when the grace of august was announced, none of the leaders of the u. s. u. k. or the trio mentioned china even once, but make no mistake. the masterminds of the new pact must have had keeping beijing at bay on their mind. they're falling. no one, just look at how the article on on because on the b, b, c is titled trying to reaction to the new partnership didn't take long, critical and outright countries should not build exclusionary blogs targeting or harming the interests of 3rd parties. in particular, they should shake off there. cole were mentality and ideological prejudice. it's another stage in the rapt you sing out of western confrontation with china. that the headline here, that's the most important aspect of this deal. it's

a provocative act. it's going to increase the engine that has been gradually escalating over the last few years between the us that western alliance and, and china. and it will be ready. china of these may as a compensation act as a sensually behind the corner of coded language. they'll understand the message that chinese influence in the region is guns with contest, contest, military date. and it's going to be contested by a strengthened western alliance. and when you published its strategy for cooperation in the in the pacific, clearly stating the intention not to worse in relations with china, contradicting the apparent intentions of august the e. you will also pursue its multifaceted engagement with china,

engaging bilaterally to promote solutions to common challenges when it comes to neighboring countries. new zealand doesn't want australian nuclear subs anywhere near its waters. stria has today voluntarily and secretly entered into a nuclear by defense, the military pac with 2 nuclear weapons site. is that an it guy, parades, stability, and for patient corporation in the world. there are a wide range and concern indonesia, the pacific new zealand. many other players are looking in a, the disbelief or anger or at least concerned about a position to not having gone through all that. let me just show you part of how the australian prime minister introduced barcus. we must now take our partnership to a new level, a partnership, the 6 to engage not to exclude, to contribute, not tight, and to enable them power not to control or coerce. well,

good luck with engaging and not excluding something tells me that this new partnership, though, has already stepped on toes and undermined international ties. ortiz investigative media project, read fish. how does or count on instagram deleted by the platform? it does follow a civil and move by facebook in april of this year. now, before its pages blocked, red food shot around 400000 followers and had been facing increased pressure in recent times, such as content being labeled and russian controlled media. read fish contacted both instagram and the sites owner. facebook for an explanation of the band. your instagram account got deleted either because you violated one or more of instagram's community guidelines of because of a mistake. once in instagram account is deleted, you can't restore it. companies like facebook and instagram,

they have more power than any cooperation before them, or any government before them has over the media. but the less accountable and less transparent than ever before. and we've tried over and over again. so reach out to somebody at facebook and instagram and fit for them to explain why this is happening or to challenge the decision. but we constantly faced brick walls. well, i guess we spoke to feel it's rather wiring. how much control the social media giants now wheeled. he need to say to people, look, if we're going to take something off the platform, here's the reason you've done it. these companies also dominance. now you cannot exist as a modern company as a molten individual, as a multi governmental institution without access to facebook, without access to instagram. and so when these companies take away the free speech of people, actually, they are hugely damaging. it's not true to say if facebook take you down,

you can move somewhere else. no, you can't. this is censorship and they're going to take the, the position that these are private companies. so you know, they can do what they want. they don't have to justify or given explanation of why they take a whole established channels down in the case of red fish. this sort of censorship, i think, is geopolitical because it's affiliated with, with russia, with r t tangentially any way. then it becomes a problem. and so the censorship takes on a whole new kind of weight. geopolitical weight. electron clouds are also gathering over another big tech company that of twitter. it all stems from a post of rafa. nikki menache to her 22000000 followers in which she claimed her cousin's friend and trinidad suffered a highly unpleasant side effect from a coven vaccine. is archie is poly boy with more. one of america has made

successful report on nick human knowledge and britain. top dr. flash, pandemic, oracle. professor chris with the 2 people you never expected to utter the same sentence. it all started with the gall earlier this week that had to be vaccinated . mickey didn't go to the man gall and said that it was because he didn't want to leave her baby. but she also tweeted saying that she wouldn't get back to attend the medical lab and then if she was going to get back, it would only be off the she's done enough research. it was after which she presented to tweak in great detail about a friend of a cousin of hud in trinidad. my cousin and trinidad won't get the vaccine because his friends got it and became impotent in us. tweeted 222000000 followers. and that's because became paul and his friend with week away from getting married. now

the girl called off the wedding. so just pray on it and make sure you're comfortable with your decisions not bullied. in fact, nicki's cousin friends balls managed to travel across the atlantic and into this very dull and dreary, but obviously very important. corona virus press conference, one of the journalists that will be decided to throw the u. k. private his, that his top doctor, a big swollen cub bowl. he asked professor chris will see what he thinks of missed him in august. story. predictably the scientists gave it a proper sat down. and many of those people regret, i think, know that they are peddling untruths. in my view they should be ashamed. okay, so i thought that was the end of the story, but i made the update to the government of trinidad. tobago has issued an official statement denying that nicki's cousin friend balls was swollen because of that credited back. the,

now the ball gate has reached such truly epic proportions. the conclusion of this saga is something that only and a bill may couldn't, couldn't call me, even though i had posted on her instagram this time that twitter restricted her ability to tweet. the only thing is that we have denied restricting nick human knowledge is that somehow she has managed to make a false claim about being in trouble for making a phone crying. wow, i twitter has also come under fire for not blocking or labeling the suite for potentially containing misleading information and knowledge to claim that her controversial posts had landed her in quote twitter jail. but that's something the social media platform has denied. now major news outlets were also quick to pick up on the fact that menache was a tweet was not taken down given fears that it could make some of the rappers followers think twice about getting injected. radio host and journalist john,

goal and things twitter should take more responsibility for the content on its platform. tricia have a gigi. she, they hide, they say all were technical platform, were not a publisher. the moment they threw dani trim trump off twitter for what he tweeted . they became, in my opinion, a publisher just like a tv company, just like a newspaper. and therefore they should be responsible for watches, published on their platform. but these big companies don't want the hiding behind if your opinion fits in to their soto for california and view of the world liberal view of the world. except if it doesn't, if it goes against what they think the world should be like, then they'll send you. the best example is donald trump,

if he had some tweets that were wrong, of course they should be taken down. but to actually take away his whole account, i said democratically elected leader, that is twitter. over step in the mark, in my personal opinion, i'm twitter because they control the public square, the public space. now, i don't know how they got themselves into this position, but they have, they have this inordinate power. and if they can get rid of the democrats, 60 elected president of the united states will come to get rid of this whole rap singer and her dangerous trash talk. while the polling stations have opened their doors to early voters in moscow for rushes, parliamentary election is going to be a marathon voting process running for at least 3 days ending on sunday the throughout the week here we are teaching national. we've been examining the 14 parties and what they

stanfull is a snapshot of just a few of them for now. let's start with a just russia patriots for truth of the long title comes after a just russia have recently merged with 2 smaller factions. the less leading party, 16.2 percent in the last election and 2016 narrowly passing the 5 percent threshold needed to get into parliament hollywood star stevens to go now has russian citizenship and has become a high profile member. there's also a green alternative. it's one of the new comers in the race for the duma into last year was just a social movement with an environmental agenda it back. so youth climate movement, cold fridays for future, which organizes campaigns and petitions, and is inspired by gretel tune bug off you know, hobby for now takes a closer look at how the voting process is going to work. and the efforts while being maintained to keep it all transparent. voting, as we said, is held over 3 days. it's extended on previous versions going from friday to sunday

. and that means that for us, as far as things are already begun earlier on thursday, the rest of the central election commission opened up a video will. this will broadcast the entire election process. clearly, this is about transparency. the commission says there are more than 100000 cameras of polling station. this is so that people can know how the elections are being carried out. the transmission developed to all the participating parties, the public to can watch the broadcast in $86.00 special election centers across russia. but even before any ballots have been cast, moscow was already furious about alleged foreign interference. and it's handed over evidence said to prove just that to the state department in washington. but he's christiana, that it was stressed that the russian side has concrete evidence of violations of russian law by the us internet platforms. in the context of preparing and conducting the duma elections, it was stated that interference in the internal affairs of our country was categorically inadmissible. we had also passed the relevant information through our

embassy in washington to the department of state. now this comes as google and apple earlier invited to attend a special security session versus parliamentary commission to explain that position . the head of the commission said that evidence of meddling in russia is the 1st mind. both of those companies has been presented to the us ambassador to moscow, mondays. after the tech, the john failed to remove voting related content knobs made by organizations that russia considers extremists. the ease also been accused of trying to exert influence over the vote after the block pass the motion allowing it to potentially not recognize the results of the election as they are quote, seen as fraudulent. more than 100 members though, voted against the move, and some of them are plenty to say about it. this isn't a serious credible documents. it's actually xenophobic round. much of the information is false, misleading. on one side, it's, we surround russia with nase of basis. and we call them the aggressor,

we support opposition groups and we accuse them a foreign interference. the european project is not being undermined and divided by russia by fight, the rank hypocrisy that it's characterized in this report. it tells me that it is time to embark on a positive dialogue with the russian federation is time to stop listening to the american in europe is our continental europe. as of right to make a choice in favor of good relations with russia, alaska. early on i spoke with a professor of the moscow state institute of international relations about a bond of pieces, despite the stance. it'll still have to work with the new russian legislators. anyway. it's quite interesting, i've read today, recommendation. they don't be on parliament today. and it was even to topic the topic. we must not recognize the new russian parliament, even the electrons will be fraudulent. but at the same time, we must walk. we've been u d p just to somehow or maybe or

a to change the current process league installation. needed place from an election from source. so not recognizing and trying to engage in is not quite threatening to say that before the election rather than wait and then say we have this evidence of wrongdoing which would be completely reasonable. sure, sure, that's true. but there are 2 ways to control the elections to monitor. just want to send, are we all up servers? and another approach you cannot find anybody here. you can just check the internet, you can just check social networks. you can speak with a representative of society or position or whatever you name them. and so the piano service, they could not go to moscow to, to feel it. they can just check and copy and copy paste what the russian position was saying. someone could make the accusation about itself is, is meddling from the e. u in the russian election. if for example, i now want to go for their actions and,

and i see from the union of which i think by default, everybody and from that direction, the coming rational actions are problem. and so what are you going for me to go there? so for each what influence over the scene a wardrobe box. i think that after the elections eve, they will recognize the actual problem and, and will not recognize the new problem. and i think at the same time, they will continue to walk because they have to do it to be the rush. if the you is concerned about the integrity of russian elections, should they be focused on the allegations that russia is making that interference coming from outside rushes, 100 evidence over to the us state department saying that some of the big tech platforms are allowing citizens access websites they say belong to extremist organization, all these nice course oldest talk on not free elections within russia is going on

the social media. and there is a larger question called the i t giants who corporate national, conscious of the national nation states. and now all of these problem is really sharp, because the russian courts are started to or issue some flying some multi 1000000 flying on the giant from 40 started to wait, but not every 40. so that's the question of not compliance to the state lead to the state or just ration to the court. and so it's quite, it's quite difficult. we don't have the resolution in one day. sure. but i think this up to some logic in the rational control space most weekend. well, that wraps it up from me here at ortiz election headquarters for this hour. we will

continue, of course, with in depth coverage over the next few days. and the this is asi international. thanks for joining us so far for this program on friday, a russia gate back on the media radar. it's thanks to a u. s. lawyer who previously made allegations of covert communications between donald trump and moscow. as it turns out, michael sussman has close ties to the democratic party and he's now being charged with lying to the f. b i. that includes failing to disclose his links to hillary clinton's presidential campaign of 2016 sussman lied about the capacity in which he was providing the allegations to the f. b. i susman stated falsely, that he was not doing his work on the aforementioned allegations for any client which led the f. b. i general counsel to understand that sussman was acting as a good citizen, merely passing along information, not as a paid advocate or political operative, but in fact, sussman acted on behalf of specific clients, namely

a u. s. technology industry executive, a u. s. internet company and the hillary clinton presidential campaign. so here's how it goes. this statement by sussman he was told to the f b, i actually had a meeting with the f. b i almost 4 years ago to the date, september 19th, 2016. it was a meeting between susman general counsel or special counsel john durham, and the f. b. i general counsel james baker. now, in that meeting, susman told baker that he had suspicions about an alleged secret communications between the trump campaign and russia. those suspicions later found out to be entirely false. now the indictment says that the lie was material because it misled the f. b. i about the political nature of sussman work. now, while the special council on the f b i r r a board with assessments, indictment, you do have his lawyers that deny any wrong doing. mr. susan has committed no crime that the prosecution here would be baseless, unprecedented, and an unwarranted deviation from the

a political and principled way in which the department of justice is supposed to do its work. very confident that if mister susan is charged, he will prevail at trial and vindicate his good name. now, a very interesting note here you did have the now president joe biden justice department. they actually allowed this indictment to go through. it was sussman lawyers that actually tried to stop it through attorney general mirror, a garland he ended up pushing it through again. now at the september 2016 meeting, sussman passed along analysis from cybersecurity experts who reported that internet data raise the possibility of speaker communications between the trump campaign and the rushes largest commercial financial institution alpha bank, which then that was pushed by the hillary clinton campaign. all across the mainstream media and it was a big topic of the 2016 presidential campaign, the entire trump presidency throughout the entire trump presidency. trump denied vehemently deny these allegations as well as russia. now one of the big questions

is why is this all happening? now, the reason why is the statute of limitations expires on sussman meeting with the f b, i general counsel and it's unclear whether durham's prob will continue to be funded past the end of the governments, the fiscal year on september 30th. one of the big things here is if you lie to the f b i, it is a federal crime. and if you are caught and found guilty of misleading the f b i, that will wipe you down with 5 years up to 5 years in federal prison, reporting in washington, d. c. faren frontenac, r t. well, any of those stories you think you may have missed or you want to catch off on just do so at your leisure r t dot com for the meantime with back warner and about half an hour's time with more of your friday. well, the ah, is your media a reflection of reality?

in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? tyson lation community, are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? direct? what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to defend the join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah oh right now. there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or obese is profitable to sell food that is fatty and sugary and faulty and addicted.

not at the individual level, it's not individual willpower. and if we go on believing that will never change as obesity epidemic, that industry has been influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific establishment, ah, what's driving the mac, it's corporate, me. ah, no, no borders. i'm just my number please. and you emerge. we don't have authority, we go to the back seen the whole world leads to take action and be ready. people are judge, you know, crisis we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way.
