in the world corrupted, you need to descend, ah, to join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, the france camphyllis embassy celebration in washington and protests against the new us security packed with the u. k. on the street that resulted in the loss of a lucrative submarine deal for par as we get reaction on the streets of the french capital. this is not the 1st time that the united states has taken contracts from us. they are very good at that. we do not respect anyone to part from themselves, the act like masters of the world. they shouldn't have done that because i think it front to done the same. they would have complain. giving the game away washington and then you pacific security alliance is not that anyone, in particular,

the secretary of defense makes that true target abundant click here. we spoke in detail about china, the stabilizing activities in beijing efforts to course and intimidate other countries. this agreement, this relationship is not aimed at anything or anyone. instagram permanently blocks to ortiz investigative media project, read fish after a similar mood like facebook earlier in the year. we look at an alarming level of control in we'll tie social media and rushes parliamentary election is underway with pulling stations open. all across russia will bring you the full breakdown later this hour, 3 days of voting, special coverage, ah

live for moscow. this is our t i'm you know, neil on 30 minutes of news and views start a diplomatic flush point is developing between from and the united states. paris has scrapped an embassy gala to celebrate the country's historic yellow lions in protest against the americas new security. signed with extremely, i'm the u. k, which french officials have dubbed a stop in the back the us secretary of state and sis though 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. list by anthony lincoln's assurances. many french citizens are unconvinced. we gauged opinion in the capital. missy bought up on your

phone please. this is not the 1st time tonight, the 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 if france had done the same, they would have complained they wouldn't have liked it. 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. on 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 that should have been talks between the french and the americans. a recap of what actually happened then on wedding say a strictly at the you can,

the u. s. signed a pacific security pack called office, seen this country in china. it involves cooperation in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, nuclear, defense, lawless, truly will acquire a nuclear power. it's submarine fleet with american and british technology. well, the pact was promptly condemned by beijing as cold war mentality. neither washington nor london have explicitly linked the new deal to suppose that threat from china, but remarks from the us defense secretary left little room for died. we spoke in detail about china's d stabilizing activities in beijing efforts to course and intimidate other countries. this agreement, this relationship does not aim that anything or anyone. while china and from sir, angered by the new pact, others are asking what this could mean for nate. so elliot, but frankly, with sums up the latest reactions when donald trump left office,

and joe biden took charge, it could have been a sigh of relief for some of washington's you 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 is a jungle. france has just been reminded this bitter truth by the way, the u. s. and the u. k. of stub through in the back in australia still a v e readers are still really over what the biden and ministration did of ghana, stan. and now paris has been stunned by washington's announcement of a new partnership with australia and the u. k. called all because, 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 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 kitchen book, as you hi, believe 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, their 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 their colewell mentality and ideological prejudice. and the e u published ed strategy for cooperation in the endo pacific, clearly stating the intention not to worse than 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 sites. is that an it guy for regional stability and pace and 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 tied to and to enable and empower not to control or coerce. well, good luck with engaging and not excluding something tells me that this bu, partnership though, has already stepped on toes and undermined international ties. last are we

heard from really them are former vice president of the o. s. c on long time? punish 9 member. he thinks the office pack raises the prospect of a conflict with china live absolutely corporation with. ready a whole lot of the bottom line, china, and that on it is complicated for us because we just global asian and our allies the united states. so if you are going to confront asian and even conflict with china and know what's going on, and how do i look to up the, you know, the call and i'll make the videos and even the a little bit alliance had been split and verify and think

what is the leaving behind of us which is looking goal, which had been about the thing so many, many to be late in the, in, you know, going into the wrong direction. they're going to kind of what they, they're going to be and they might be going to law. and the 3rd and include not only is the you will be union, but try and in japan galena and, and all i think is what it is. the basics for global ortiz investigative media project,

read fish, has its current on instagram, deleted by the platform. it follows a similar move by facebook. in april, this year, before its page was blocked, read fish, how to run $400.00 follows and followers. it has been facing increased pressure in recent times, such as its content being labeled, rushing control media. red fish contacted both instagram on the sites owner facebook for an explanation of the bud. your instagram account got deleted either because you violated one or more of instagram's community guidelines because of a mistake. once in instagram account is deleted, you can restore it for us. the major problem here is that companies like facebook and instagram, they have more power than any cooperation before them, or any government before them has over the media. but they're 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 for them to explain why this is happening or to challenge the decision. but we constantly faced brick walls. in fact, the latest response that we've had about the instagram is instagram ban is the most chilling. they explicitly say that the decision was made by the higher ups, by the so called internal team. and that they can't disclose to us why the reasons why this decision was made because of it would to do so would violate the security and privacy policy, which really just leaves us with the question. why are they being so secretive? if it why, why can't they explain why they've reached this decision? if the reasons on political, it shouldn't be that difficult on a number of the guess we've spoken to in the program feel it's worrying. how much control those social media giants currently will 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 crew 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 and storm slides are gathering over

another big tech company, twitter. it all stems from a post by rougher nicky men to her 22000000 followers in which she claimed her cousin's friend in trinidad suffered a highly unpleasant side effect from a covert vaccine. here's the take of our teeth. polly boys, one of america's most successful reporting contest. nicky, minot and britain taught doctor flash pandemic oracle. professor crist with the 2 people you never expected to utter the same sentence. it all started with the men gall earlier this week that had to be vaccinated. mickey didn't go to the man gall and said that it was because she didn't want to leave her baby. but she also tweeted saying that she wouldn't get a jack to attend the math 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 may not tweeted 222000000 followers. his testicles became swollen. his friend was weeks away from getting married. now the girl called off the wedding, so just pray on it and make sure you're comfortable with your decision. not bullet . the story for and myriads of mean and nicky cousins, friend is definitely going to become some sort of pop culture icon. 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 new k private in that top dr. a big swollen cub bowl, he asked to 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, i regret, i think know that they are peddling on trees. in my view, they should be ashamed. and then the prime minister for johnston also commented on the story. and as if this story couldn't get any weird noise, then responded to bar johnson with this recording, imitating a british. i'm not too bad actually. yes. hello, prime minister boring. it's mickey menard's. i went to school with margaret. that shot. i'm a big, big star in, in the united states. just to be clare. aussie does not endorse me. he's cousins, friends. technical very my i'm the thing about high school with maggie that that's definitely great news. i'm getting back in a did is great. do it. i think 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 coded vaccine. now the ball gate has reached such truly proportions. the conclusion of this saga is something that only and a bill made period couldn't call me, even though i had posted on her instagram this time that twitter restricted her ability to tweet that is of the defensive pundits really flowing point she's making are worth reiterating. you can't allow people to force you to take drugs, they don't want for that you don't need. the only thing is that with that has denied restricting nick human knowledge is that somehow she has managed to make a false claim about being in trouble for making a crime. wow. major news outlets for

a quick to notice that menache is tweets wasn't ticked on given fears, a could make some of the rappers followers, a lot of them millions think twice about getting vaccinated, radio host journalist jungle and thinks there's a clear political pattern in who twitter decides the center tricia have a gigi, she, they hide, they say all we're technical platform, we're 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 what she's published on their platform. but these big companies don't one love 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 see, 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 democratic elected, president of the united states will come to get rid of this whole rob singer and her dangerous trash talk pulling stations have opened their doors to russian citizens for the countries parliamentary election. it's going to be a morrison voting process running for 3 days on it ends on sunday.

the well, here's how the election will work at 450 piece from 225 electoral districts will be chosen to the state duma. for a 5 year term half are elected by majority voting based on one mp per constituency . the remaining $225.00 are made up by parties which have more than 5 percent representation in parliament. well, throughout the week, we've been examining the 14 parties and will face them for here's a snapshot of a few of them. first off, let's kick off with the new people party. it was funded. year ago, it's considered to be center, right. some of their key pledges are to cut on on bureaucracy on modernize rushes

political institutions. the party also wants to boost the high tech sector and scientific research. another contender in this election is the liberal democratic party of russia, which is on the nationalist end of the political spectrum. it has the same leader. it all was hud love mirror year and honesty, who funded the party at the end of the soviet year and know that makes the liberal democrats the oldest of russia's political forces. it promotes patriotism on an anti western stance and a tougher line on immigration. the l d p r came 3rd in the last elections ortiz, new harvey now takes a broader look at how the voting process operates on the efforts to keep it. transport 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 east 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 $100000.00 cameras of polling stations. this is so that people can know how the elections are being carried out. the transmission is available to all the participating parties, the public, to watch the broadcasting and $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 us department. now this comes as google and apple

earlier invited to attend a special security session of rushes parliamentary commission to explain that position. the head of the commission said that evidence of meddling in russia's affairs mind. both of those companies has been presented to the us ambassador to moscow, mondays after the tech john failed to remove voting related content knobs may by organizations, but russia considers extremists. the ease also been accused of trying to exert influence over the vote after the block, past the motion, allowing it to potentially not recognize the results of the election if they all quote, seen as fraudulent, more than 100 members that voted against the move and some of them are plenty to say about it. this isn't a serious credible document. it's actually a van, a phobic round. much of the information is false, misleading. on one side, it's we surround washer with nature 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 is 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. and i spoke with a professor of the moscow state institute of international relations about a bond of thesis, 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 won't be on parliament today. so not recognizing and trying to engage, and it's not quite threatening to say that before the election rather than wait and then say look, we have this evidence of wrongdoing which would be completely reasonable. sure, sure, that's true. but there are 2 ways to control the actions to monitor. just want to send bit, 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. will society or position the whatever you name them and so on up service, they could not go to moscow to, to feel if they can just check and copy and copy paste. what they're rushing 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 in that direction coming rational actions are problem. and so what are you going for me to go there? so for each influence over the theme of water, if the e u is concerned about the integrity of russian elections, should they be focused on the allegations that russia is making?

that is interference coming from outside rushes. 100 evidence over to the state department saying that some of the big tech platforms are allowing citizens to access websites they say, belong to extremist organizations, that this problem is really sharp because the russian courts are started to or issue some flying some multi 1000000 fines on the giant from 40 started to wait, but not everybody saw that's the question of not compliance to the state lead to the state or just racial 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 some logic in the rational official space most we can well, we are just a few hours into rushes, 3 day parliamentary election. there have already been some reports of technical glitches. the online voting system was briefly out of action. it's not fully

restored, that's something on the platform. the crush this friday morning, by the way, a pro opposition called nevada only has been deleted from google play. and apple's ups store the app in question is somewhat an extension of nevada, his website and provides news about him or his organization, but this is not what's gotten it under the scrutiny. the app also has a section dedicated to so called smart voting. now, smart voting encourages those who disliked the current government to mark their ballot for whatever candidate in a given constituency is most likely to defeat the candidate of united russia. now more often than that, these are representatives of the communist party, russia, 2nd most popular party, which leadership ironically denounces nevada and his demon distances itself from smart voting anyway. according to ross, comrades or rushes internet watch dock,

there is a link between smart voting and the news intake corruption fun which was labeled and extremist organization for spreading extreme is content and inciting, unauthorized pro, has despite coven restrictions earlier, ross come to absorb demanded from google and apple to take down the valid the ab because of net link. otherwise rushes officials would have considered this as foreign interference in the run up to the parliamentary election. now, we've also heard from the head of the sovereignty committee in russia. senate, mr. climmer, who said that the issue was brought up in a conversation between russian diplomats and the us in bassett, or in moscow. john solomon now in the band. his aides have also published and an official response. the guy from apple, which states that advocate status as an extremist organization, was a reason the tech company decided to take down the app. and while this is, of course, another blow for the jailed opposition figure and his team as they often look towards the west for support. but as for the western companies,

in this particular case, they've decided to comply with the russian laws. so they want versus parliament. your election is well under way in the coming hours will to have further into the parties hoping to sway citizens their way. how to food is progressing on the election process itself already has you covered for vote 2021 the ah hey, you know we've moved on from just printing lots of money and incurring lots at dad for dom reasons to printing loss of money and incurring lasted for extraordinarily dom reason the

this is boom, but the one business show you can afford to mit branch bore, and i'm rachel blevins in washington coming up. china as ever grand group is falling behind on promises more than 70000. investors will take a look at why the chinese government has yet to step in to say, one of the world's most indebted company. then we take you to the numbers from the world's largest economy. as the united states retail sector got a booth in august, the fight negative forecast will analyze the number and how the nation is bearing. amid the spread of the delta vary with a lot to get to let's go and we leave the program with something you may not have heard too much about in the me.
