the the front councils and embassy celebration in washington in protest against the new us security packed with the u. k. on the screen the resulted in the loss of a lucrative submarine deal or as we get reaction on the street. this is not the 1st time that the united states has taken contracts from mosley a very good at that. we did not respect anyone from themselves. the act like masters of the world. they shouldn't have done that because i think it front it's the same. they would have complain giving the game away while washington insists the new pacific security lines. it's nothing that any one the secretary of defense

makes the true target. abundantly clear to griffin. we spoke in detail about trying to steve stabilizing activities and raging efforts to support and intimidate other countries. this agreement, this relationship is not aimed at anything or anyone. often coming up on the program, instagram permanently blocks our teeth investigative media project, read fish for a similar move by facebook. earlier in europe, we live on the alarming level of control being wielded by social media. russia is parliament reelection is well underway with pulling stations though open all across russia will bring you the full breakdown later this hour and throughout the free days of booting and our special ah mobile news line from moscow. this is,

are always good to have your company. my name's you. no, no me a diplomatic flush point is developing between france and the united states. part. so scrub to an embassy gala, to celebrate the countries to an historical lines and protest. really, america's new security pack, signed with us truly in the u. k, which we've been going through during the week. france, you might remember doug that stop in the back, the us secretary state and cisco, all as 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 transatlantic cooperation in the pacific and around the world. despite anthony lincoln's assurances, many french citizens there, unconvinced we gauged opinion in the capital. missy bought up from your family. this is not the 1st time that 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 if front on the same they would have complained it they wouldn't have liked. we'll see if the current president's is better than the last one. it represents a lot of money, but 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. a recap of what happened then on wedding stay. a stream of the u. k. in the u. s. signed a pacific security pack called august, seen this country, china. it involves cooperation in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity,

nuclear difference, australia will acquire a nuclear power submarine fleet with american british technology. china, which is the dominant power in the indoor pacific region, has condemned the deal of cold war mentality. neither washington or london have explicitly lengthened. you deal to the suppose the threat from beijing, 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, france are angered by the new park, others are asking what this could mean for nato. li, katrinka sums up the latest reactions when donald trump left office, and joe biden took charge. it could have been

a side relief for some of washington's you allies just when the euro 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 in the jungle, france has just been reminded this bitter truth by the way, the u. s. and the u. k. of stopped in the back in australia. still a v e leaders are still really over what the biden and ministration did of ghana, stan, and now parents 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 close allied 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 $1000000000.00 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, because, you know, hopefully 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 pack 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 find his reaction to the new partnership didn't take long, critical and outright countries should not build, exclusionary blogs targeting or harming the interest of 3rd parties. in particular, they should shake up there. cole were mentality, and ideological prejudice, and the you published it. 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 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 to nuclear weapons site. is that a net gain, parades, stability, and for face 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 office. 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 that, empower not to control or coerce. well, good luck with and gauging and not excluding something tells me that this view partnership though, has already stepped on toes and undermined international ties. a thing with this

story we heard from villi zimmer, former vice president of the organization for security and cooperation in europe and also a long time bundis stag member. he thinks the august park raises the prospect of a conflict with china live. absolutely. corporation was the how i bought and i and china and that on it is complicated because we didn't globally and our allies the united states. so if you are going to confront asian and even conflict with china and no one, you know, how do i look to us now? the call and i'll make the via the, even the a little bit a lie and had been split and they're fine. think what is the leaving behind

us which is looking goal which had been the night so many, many to be late in the in, you know, going into the wrong direction. they're going to date they're going to be and they might be going to law. and the 3rd include, not only is the you will be union, but try now in japan colleena. and in the fall, i think what is the basic actual global care to another headline stories ortiz investigate of media project. read fish shows how

the it's a content instagram deleted by the platform. it follows a similar move by facebook. back in april, before its page was blocked, red face shot around 400000 followers. it had been facing increased pressure in recent times, such as its content being labels russian control media, red fish, contacted boat, instagram, the sites owner, facebook seeking explanation for the your instagram account got deleted either because you violated one or more of instagram's community guidelines are because of a mistake, once in instagram account is deleted, you can't 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 has about the instagram is instagram ben 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 reason political, it shouldn't be that difficult. we spoke to a number of guests on this story and the general view is that they're worried about how much control social media giants currently 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 give an explanation of why they take a whole established channels down in the case of red fish. this could sort of censorship, i think is geo political 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 after kennings and finishing knots,

some close by the way, gathering over another big tech company, twitter. it all stems from a post by rougher nicky menache to her 22000000 followers in which she claimed her cousin's friend in trinity suffered a highly unpleasant side effect from a coven vaccine. here's the take of our teeth pulling biker. one of america has made successful reporting, nicky min and britain talk doctor slash pandemic. oracle. professor chris with the 2 people you never expected to utter. in the same sense it all started with the men gall earlier that we get 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 did 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 in her after which she received

it this week in great detail about a friend of a cousin of hud in trinidad. not tweeted to had 22000000 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 solid . the story for and myriads of mean and nicky cousins, friend is definitely going to become some sort of pop culture icon and into this very dull and dreary but obviously very important. corona virus press conference. one of the journalists that professor crypt we see why he thinks of miss human story. predictably the scientists gave it a proper sat down. and many of those people regard, i think know that they are peddling untruths. in my view, they should be ashamed. and then the have prime minister or johnston, also commented on the story. and as if this story couldn't get any way to him and

then responded to bar johnson with this bizarre recording of imitating a british accent. not too bad actually. yes. hello prime minister boris. it's mickey menard's. i went to school with margaret sasha. i'm a big stock is 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 my dispatcher. that's definitely make news. i'm getting back to they did is great do it. i think i thought that was the end of the story, but i'm here to update to the government of trinidad. tobago has issued an official statement denying that nicky, because of your friend balls, was swollen because of the vaccine now that the ball gate has reached such truly epic proportions. the conclusion of this is something that only and

a bill mater couldn't, couldn't call nick, even though i had posted on high instagram this time that twitter restricted her ability to tweet that. got the juices of the systems and pundits really flowing point she's making are worth reiterating. you can't allow people to force you to take drugs that you don't want for that you don't need. the only thing is 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 phone crying. wow, poly biker while major news outlets were quick to notice that menache is tweet, wasn't taken. don't, as they stayed, it could make some of the robbers followers. think twice about getting fox and needed radio host under the list. john got thinks there's

a clear political pattern in who twitter decides to censor church and have a gigi. she, they hide. they say all we're technical platform, we're not a publisher. the moment they true, donald trump 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 it, 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. overstep and 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 democratically elected president of the united states was calling to get rid of this or up singer and her dangerous trash talk on the russia gate. skeletal refuses to died. us and order various allegations against donald trump is not being charged with life to the f b i about his role and henry in the presidential campaign. a web team have been probing that story at r t dot com for g c

. foods that are maybe red or orange yellow, maybe we assume that they going to be on the suite to find a thing to receive a rounder and soft. and they can make soon again, that they're going to be sweeter in some way. with the the the the the

the, the, the, the, ah, hello again. voting is in full swing across russia in the countries parliamentary election for the 1st time. it's a 3 day process running until sunday. the well, here's how the election will work for 150 m p 's 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 m p per constituency . the remaining $225.00 are made up by parties which have more than 5 percent representation in parliament. and throughout the week,

we've been examining the 14 parties and what they stand for. here's the snapshot of a few of them. let's begin with the greens as the name suggests. the party has a strong environmental agenda with one of its main names to stop deforestation, though it started as a social movement in 1993 seeking a so called green revolution. the party won just under one percent of the votes in the 2016 elections. well below the threshold we just spoke about for entering parliament. another contender in this election is the russian party of freedom. and just this, it's one of several socialist leaning factions, taking part it pleasures to build a society based on social justice and quality, and promotes free education and health care. it's the parties. first time. on the bullet ortiz neal harvey takes a closer look outside the voting process is going to work on the efforts to keep it

transparent. voting, as we said, is held over 3 days. it's extended on previous versions going from friday to sunday, and it means that the rush is far 8th. 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 station. this is so that people can observe how the elections are being carried out. the transmission available 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 versus christ on 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 world are invited to attend a special security session of russia's parliamentary commission to explain that position. the head of that commission said that evidence of meddling in russia is the 1st mind. both those companies has been presented to the us ambassador to moscow mothers after the tech john failed to remove voting related content knobs may by organizations that russia considers extremists. the ease also been accused of trying to exert influence over the vote after the blog post the motion allowing it to potentially not recognize the results of the election if they are quote, seen as fraudulent. more than 100 members are 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 rand. much of the information is false, misleading. on one side,

it's we surround with names of basis, and we call them the aggressor. we support opposition groups and we accuse them of 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 continent from europe as of right to make a choice in favor of good relations with russia earlier and i spoke with the professor of the moscow state institute of international relations about a bond faces, 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, 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 elections, to monitor that and 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 civil society or position or whatever you name them. and so the service they could not go to moscow to, to feel if they can just check and copy and copy paste what the russian opposition 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, the coming russian elections are problem. and so what are you going for me to go

there? so for each influence over the scene go water. if the in you 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 access websites they say, belong to extremist organizations, that this problem is really sharp because the russian courts are started to issue some flying some multimedia flying on the giant from 40 started to wait back, not everybody. so that's the question of not compliance to the state lead to the state legislation to the court. and so it's quite, it's quite difficult. we will have to resolute it in one day. sure. but i think

this some logic in the rush and lucky shall faith most. we can some reports of technical glitches on friday morning by the way, as regards the election, the online voting system was briefly on the action outs now being fully restored. it's not the only platform though that crushed on the day a pro opposition up called the valley. now it's been deleted from google play and apple's up store. here's our company rosco. 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 an invalid 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 val news intake corruption fun, which was labeled an extremist organisation for spreading extreme as content and inciting, unauthorized approach has despite coven restrictions. earlier, ross come to absorb demanded from google and apple to take down the valid the ab because of that ling. otherwise, russia 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 western baths are in moscow. john solomon now and his aides have also published and an official response. the guy from apple, which states that every case status as an extremist organisation was a reason the tech company decided to take down the app. americas tech giants do not

always comply with russian laws and offer, refused or failed to delete illegal content. for instance, messages publicly calling on people to take part in unauthorized demonstrations for that the likes of facebook, twitter google received half to find, but this time they decided to comply. so the nevada, the app is no longer available in russia, which is of course, another blow to the jail. the opposition figure in his came as they often look to the west for support. so they won't refresh his parliamentary election as well underway in the coming hours. will dev further into the parties hoping to sway citizens their way, how the ballot is progressing. the election are teeth as you've covered or vote went into the .
